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

120 presets

combover comes back from the archives

combover is a comb delay, and four more comb delays, and a step sequencer that does odd things, and a pool of prime numbers that make stuff happen, and some mix n match pitch detection. It also has an xy pad and wet / dry controls that let some stuff through and other stuff not. It does crazy stuff, you should stop reading these words and find out for yourself.

combover was developed by de la Mancha and runagate, who together formed the evil alliance. It hasn’t been available for download for a while, but following the new dlM wordpress site, I am going to carry on uploading a few archived and previously unavailable plugins. Hope you enjoy the madness 🙂

freq show

October 23, 2013effectseffect, FSU, glitch, resynthesis, XYde la Mancha

freq show screws around with your audio and ouputs an unholy version of whatever you fed it

A – choose 1 from 11, using the power of your ears to decide which you like best

B – like A, but B

mode – choose 1 from 9 ways that A messes up B, or B messes with A

xy pad – using your mouse, a midi pad or sheer will power, move the puck around to influence how much freq show will destroy your audio

ring thing

ring thing is a multi-flavour ring modulator, with frequency and mix level controlled by an XY pad and each axis modulated by it’s own tempo-sync LFO. The modulation in both axes is shown graphically on the XY pad.
