Thanks to 3 different yet complementary ways of manipulating time with creativity, BLEASS Slow Machine can deepen any beat by completely or partially slowing down the audio signal, transform epic leads into heavy basses, and add some “tape stop” effect with precision either by touching the X/Y Stop trigger or by dialling in precise sequence automation.

Audiority – Polaris
Polaris is an echo/reverb plugin inspired by early hardware digital reverbs of the late 1970s and able to provide echo, ambience and reverb out of a single multitap delay line.
When hardware digital reverbs came out to the market they were really expensive. Most manufacturers were already exploiting chains of comb and all-pass filters (smoother reverbs, but expensive in both resources and chips), there were other techniques involving the use of a single multitap delay line to create a reasonable reverb while keeping the cost affordable.
That idea is so simple yet powerful: you mix a bunch of unmodulated taps (Early Reflections) with the remaining modulated taps (Diffusion) to create a cheap but convincing reverb. Learn more about Audiority Polaris.

MNTRA Instruments – Atma
Atma is a collection of sacred sound instruments obtained by MNTRA’s award-winning founder & composer, Brian D’Oliveira, during his many pilgrimages to holy sites around the world.
Ranging from ritual healing bells to pitched Aztec volcanic rocks, MNTRA creatively sampled these special instruments to explore the potential of the powerful nonlinear sound-design engine MNDALA. By capturing the rich textures of these ancient instruments with their leading-edge ultrasonic sampling process, MNTRA allow you to explore their complex harmonics with a depth and clarity that was previously impossible.
MNTRA’s team of expert sound designers have crafted a diverse array of presets that span arpeggiated bell clusters, evolving atmospheric pads, cinematic percussion, and much more, allowing for immediate inspiration right out of the box.
Additionally, just under the hood of the intuitive interface, lies the potential to sculpt the sound into whatever you imagine and beyond. Whether you’re creating ambient soundscapes, pulsing electronica, avant-garde explorations, or massive cinematic swells, Atma will become an indispensable instrument in your toolkit.

Tone Empire – OptoRED
OptoRED is a transparent Optical Attenuator (compressor) based on the classic American unit used on countless hit records. This optical compressor has a built-in side chain circuit, A Low pass filter, automatic gain, wet/dry mix, and other features. This allows it to go beyond the original intent of just being suitable for vocals and bass. OptoRED kills on Drums, Synths, Percussion, and both Electronic & Acoustic instruments.
The Lo-Cut Filter is designed to let the artist use this as a tracking compressor as well, getting rid of unwanted low frequencies at the time of tracking, yet get a low latency compressed signal perfect for tracking.
Unlike the original classic, OptoRED is super clean and does not impart any unwanted colouration. Learn more about Tone Empire Opto Red.

Glitchmachines – Palindrome
Palindrome is a granular morph plotting sampler geared toward experimental sound design. The basic concept behind Palindrome is to fuse four granular samplers with a coordinate plotting grid and complex modulation sources in order to facilitate the creation of morphing sound effects and unusual instrument patches.
The plugin’s main grid section facilitates the creation of custom paths that determine the trajectory of a playhead over time. This playhead travels across a user-definable path that corresponds with the outputs of the samplers which are smoothly morphed using a bilinear interpolation algorithm. Palindrome also features 8 user-definable multi-breakpoint modulation envelopes to facilitate the creation of intricate modulation shapes.
With its 4 granular samplers, morph-plotting system, 8 multi-breakpoint modulation envelopes, dual effects processors per sampler, shape presets, 4-note polyphony, deep randomization system, global reverb, 1.4GB sample library and numerous factory presets, Palindrome brings sound designers a powerful new sound sculpting tool.
