Tekno
Stop browsing for the perfect sample and create your own infectious electronic drum sounds instead – with total control. Tekno offers 18 fully synthesized drum engines, spanning kicks, snares, clap, hats, percussion and more. Craft unique drum kits full of punch and analog flavor to suit any musical genre. Use MIDI to sequence Tekno directly. Or simply drag and drop your sounds into any DAW or folder for external sequencing.
To build Tekno Baby Audio teamed up with Jatin Chowdhury, one of the leading engineers in analog circuit modeling. Our goal was to create a modern spiritual successor to the legendary drum machines of the 20th century. Not an emulation, but more.
Tekno stands on the shoulders of classic drum machines but hits deeper and harder. It utilizes a combination of authentic circuit-modeling and cutting edge DSP to deliver the punchiest synthesized drums ever put in a plugin.
Click the ‘Gear’ icons next to any synth voice or FX section to unlock deep calibration and circuit-bending options. Or hit the onboard ‘Dice’ icons to let Tekno’s smart random-algorithm generate all-new drums with every click. You can also start from the 73 global presets and 1314 individual voice presets by leading sound designers such as Mr. Bill, Virtual Riot and Yoad Nevo.
Atoms
Atoms is a new kind of synth plugin that uses cutting edge physical modeling to generate an endless variety of organic and otherworldly sounds.
Use it to build rich and alive textures the world hasn’t heard before.
Atoms is powered by a simulation of interconnected masses and springs with tweakable properties and dimensions. The model is triggered by a virtual bowing action that excites the system and makes it vibrate to generate sound.
Its six main parameters can be automated with a selection of powerful motion options to let you create soundscapes that are constantly shifting and re-generating like a natural organism.
With musical patch randomization, physically modeled effects and hundreds of presets, Atoms is your laboratory for advanced sound design on iOS.
Crystalline
Make room for lush reflections!
Crystalline App is the AUv3 version of Baby Audio’s state-of-the-art reverb plugin for mobile DAWs. It offers the same pristine sound and versatile feature set as the desktop version.
BA-1
BA-1 is based on a portable 1980s synth with a toylike appearance and a gritty sound. Despite its small size, it left a big mark on music history, while still flying somewhat under the hype radar. The original has been used as a secret weapon for bubbly synth textures by some of Sweden’s most successful pop producers of the past two decades. It was also a staple of 1990s digital dancehall and beloved by the indietronica scene for its raw lo-fi quality. The original hardware has never been properly captured in software form. So for our first ever synth, we started there.
Super VHS
As kids of the 80s we have always been drawn to the sound of slightly out-of-tune synths, warm tape saturation, gritty samples and grainy reverbs. So we set out on a mission to capture our favorite decade – and bring it into a new decade.
Using Super VHS will be like sending your sounds back in time, then re-discovering them on a worn-out VHS tape 30 years later. All with the click of a single button, right inside your mobile DAW.
Super VHS will add some lo-fi authenticity to whatever clean sound you run through it — especially as you mix and match the effects. Each effect has just a single control, but multiple parameters under the hood, allowing for a quick workflow with a wide range of results.
Transit 2
This plugin kills static mixes. Baby Audio teamed up with Andrew Huang to create Transit: an FX plugin that’ll give your mix transitions super powers. Use it for build-ups, drops, motion effects, risers and sweeps – and keep your listeners constantly engaged.
Creative transitions between song parts play a vital role in keeping listeners engaged and excited. To make these transitions, producers rely on multiple tracks and plugins – and a suffocating amount of automation lanes.
Transit simplifies this process down to just one plugin. It hosts 18 powerful effect-modules, freely loadable across 7 slots. All effect parameters can be linked to a global Macro Control, which you automate to create complex FX transitions with one knob movement. The result: More engaging, less static, mixes.
The 18 effect modules in Transit are purpose-designed for transition duties. You get classic modulation effects, distortion and degradation options, motion FX, reverb, delay, two filter types – and even a synth oscillator and noise generator for adding risers and sweeps to your transitions.
The quality and variety in effects – and the semi-modular architecture of the plugin – makes Transit a sound designer’s dream. You may soon end-up using it as a regular multi-FX or a new go-to LFO tool. The possibilities are near limitless.
Want to keep things fast and simple? Transit includes 300+ creative, modern, mind-boggling, and ‘hands-in-the-air-rising’ presets created by Andrew Huang and friends of Baby Audio. The presets give you a wide variety of options across different genres and use-cases for some instant gratification.
You can also get creative with a flexible randomization engine that lets you set specific random-ranges and lock modules / parameters to only randomize certain parts of the plugin. This can take your tracks in entirely new directions.
Switch from Macro Mode to Sequencer Mode to program and trigger DAW-sync’ed transitions with the click of a button. Each transition will start exactly at the next bar. This is ideal for live use. Or for writing perfectly timed automations into your mix session without entering the automation lanes.
The Sequencer unlocks an additional use case for Transit: Engage Loop mode and your transitions will pulse back and forth indefinitely. This turns Transit into a creative ‘LFO tool’ for adding constant FX movements to your tracks.
IHNY-2
Make your tracks slap and slam!
IHNY-2 is the 2nd generation of Baby Audio’s popular parallel compression plugin (downloaded by more than 100k desktop users).
The App runs as an AUv3 plugin in all major mobile DAWs. Use it to achieve true, hard-hitting, parallel compression without any complicated routing.
Features include:
- Gives a modern and ultra-aggressive compression sound that adds weight and impact to your tracks
- Lets you run a true parallel compression routing from within the plugin
- Advanced tone shaping features such as harmonic saturation and preservation filters (full version only)
What’s in the free version:
- Use the compressor in its standard configuration – great for instantly adding power to drums
What’s in the full version:
- Unlock the “Tweak Panel” to access all compression settings and get surgical control
- Access more than 150 presets created by top producers like Preston Reid, M-Phazes and Delbert Bowers
Humanoid
Create stunningly robotic vocals from any singing performance. Humanoid is an over-the-top pitch corrector designed for instant hard-tuning and radical voice manipulation. With a brand new approach to vocal tuning and phase-vocoding, the plugin transforms singers of any style and ability into their best synthetic selves.
If you want natural vocals, you’ve come to the wrong place. Humanoid is designed for extreme hard-tuning and takes the distinctive sound further into the future with a wide range of innovative voice manipulation features.
Push the boundaries of what modern vocals sound like, while captivating your audience with the smooth and crisp sound of Humanoid’s FFT-based re-tuning engine. Singing skills not required!
Morph your vocals into synth waveforms to create unique timbres that merge human and machine qualities.
At its most extreme, Humanoid will turn a voice fully into a synthesizer, while moderate settings will add a subtle electronic shine to the vocal mix.
Choose between factory wavetables – or import your own – for unbound sonic variation. Then use the shaping features to further sculpt the sound of your robot voice alter-ego.
As an alternative to instant hard-tuning, Humanoid’s pitch can be controlled manually via automation or MIDI.
This allows you to use any vocal take as a seed for creating new, perfectly pitched, melodies, harmonies and chords.
Turn a lead vocal into a symphony by layering it with re-pitched variations of itself or use Humanoid as a futuristic vocoder. The re-tuning engine handles note changes seamlessly, even across large ranges.
Humanoid lets you go as deep as you need to create your unique vocal sound. Click the ‘gear’ icons next to the knobs to unlock advanced calibration options and features.
Tweaking is optional, however, and with 180 presets crafted by leading sound designers, you can produce professional-grade robotic vocals right out of the box.
For good singers, Humanoid offers new timbres and variation. For bad singers, it offers a total make-over! Only your creativity sets the limit.
