truc2 – modulated multi-effect – is now free

truc2 is a multi-effect plug-in with 4 different effect modules and two automated XY pads to modulate their levels and parameters. It is designed to add variation and movement, anywhere along the scale of subtle to overkill and is suitable for any material

The 4 effect modules are DIRT, GRAIN, RING and DELAY. The first XY pad modulates the volume/mix level of each module, whilst the second XY pad modulates any 4 of the 15 automatable parameters. Both XY pads can be moved manually and additionally automated with a variety of LFO shapes, speeds and depths

truc2 is a complete rewrite of the original from new. The main improvements over the first version are;

• Correct real-time rendering of all XY modulations
• Enhanced XY pad LFO modulation options
• XY pucks can be dragged whilst being modulated by LFO
• Graphical representation of modulations on XY pads and parameter knobs
• More dirt options
• More ring mod / pan / vol mod options
• Completely new GUI

features

• 4 effect modules
  • DIRT – 18 flavours of distortion, 3 types of degrading and a resonant state-variable filter
  • GRAIN – Tempo-sync Granulising with 6 envelope shapes and pitch/size/rate randomisation
  • RING – Ring modulation with LFO, 14 tones, 11 LFO waveforms, vol and pan modulation
  • DELAY – Tempo-sync delay with reverse, ping-pong and resonant LP filter
• 2 XY pads with simultaneous manual and automatic modulation
  • Modulate the effect module overall volume or wet/dry mix level
  • Modulate any 4 from 15 of the parameters in the 4 effect modules
• Tempo-sync LFO for each XY pad axis, with 16 waveforms and adjustable depth and phase
• Dragable XY pucks for manual modulation, even when automated by LFO
• Graphical representation of XY and parameter modulation to see at a glance what is automated
• 120 presets
• bonus truc2 mini plug-in

 
truc2 used to be a payware plugin, but is now free to download. However, if you like and use any of my plugins, please consider donating to Cancer Research UK in order to help care for and find a cure for cancer sufferers.

Any amount you can afford is appreciated and will help to fund international research projects in all aspects of cancer.

faderratic

faderratic brings you cross-fading of 2 stereo inputs, but with a mind of its own and a ton of options to change the fade shape, length, limits, frequency and probability. faderratic works by generating a pulse on a tempo-sync frequency, and depending on the probability it may trigger a cross-fade event. You can optionally make the fader auto-return to either side and if you feel like it, trigger a fade manually or control the fader movement totally manually.

NOTE: faderratic is a multi-input effect plugin, with 2 stereo inputs. You need a host that allows multi-input effects for the cross fading to work. If your host does not allow multi-input effects, you can still use faderratic as a gate, as it will cross-fade 1 stereo input with silence

features

• probability based auto-cross-fader
• cross-fade is triggered based on user defined frequency and probability
• cross-fade duration in ms
• 13 different envelope shapes for the cross-fade
• trigger alternate fades or auto-return to either input pair
• partial fades by scaling the throw and fader limits
• 4 fade laws
• manual trigger
• option to manually control cross-fader
• all controls assigned to midi CCs

pfilter

pfilter creates a steppy, gated effect, but using filter cut-off instead of volume to give a wider range of possibilities. It uses a variable state filter, triggered between 2 adjustable cut-off values by a tempo-sync’d probability-based step sequencer. An LFO can modulate the filter when triggered and trigger pulse length, attack and release can shape the sound

features

• tempo-sync step sequencer, with 2 to 32 steps over a sequence length of 2 to 32 beats
• can be programmed or random, by setting the probability of each step from 0-100%
• seeded randomisation for repeatable loops up to 100 beats long
• resonant variable filter, LP, HP, BP and notch
• filter triggered between upper and lower cut-off values, in either direction
• tempo sync LFO, with 6 waveforms and settings from 1/16 beat to 96 beats
• adjustable pulse length, attack and decay for shaping the modulation
• random swing for step sequencer
• wet/dry mix control
• midi CC and midi learn

gator

gator creates a random gating effect, triggering volume between 2 adjustable values by a tempo-sync’d probability-based step sequencer. An LFO can modulate the volume when triggered and trigger pulse length, attack and release can shape the sound

features

• tempo-sync step sequencer, with 2 to 32 steps over a sequence length of 2 to 32 beats
• can be programmed or random, by setting the probability of each step from 0-100%
• seeded randomisation for repeatable loops up to 100 beats long
• volume triggered between upper and lower cut-off values, in either direction
• tempo sync LFO, with 6 waveforms and settings from 1/16 beat to 96 beats
• adjustable pulse length, attack and decay for shaping the modulation
• random swing for step sequencer
• wet/dry mix control
• midi CC and midi learn
