Aimed at musicians who are tired of trying to coax extreme effects out of humdrum software plug-ins, the Mayhem plug-ins provide radical new tools for aggressive contemporary musical styles.
Included in the Mayhem package:
Filterpod - Combining DSP models of analog filters and saturation distortion, Filterpod is a low-pass filter with bite. Its resonance is enhanced by an adjustable distortion stage, and an internal oscillator provides wide and deep frequency sweeps.
Master Destrukto -- A one-stop shop for all of your distortion needs, Master Destrukto combines wave warping, asymmetric clipping, sample-rate and bit-depth reduction, and overdrive (based on a model of a vintage guitar pedal) into one destructive plug-in. Each of these effects can be used independently or together.
Crush -- Unapologetically in your face, Crush is a compressor which celebrates compression artifacts. Crush makes your drum loops pump and breath like never before, and flattens and boosts your vocals to relentless levels. Crush comes in two flavors tailored to mono and stereo applications.
TimeFnk - Something old, something new, TimeFnk is a delay plug-in with tempo-synchronized delay times. To emulate the delightful grunge of digital delays of yesteryear, TimeFnk incorporates an adjustable resonant filter and sample-rate reduction. A tempo-synchronized low-frequency oscillator modulates the filter frequency and panning position of the delayed signal. Switchable feedback routing lets you choose between repeats that decay cleanly or disintegrate into sonic murk.
The Mayhem package has an MSRP of $149 and will be available in March.
Audio Damange also offers a free VST plug-in, Fuzz+, for OS 9, OS X, and Windows which can be downloaded from their web site. For more information, visit their web site at www.audiodamage.com. |
