Ewan Bristow has blessed us with yet one more bizarre launch: EB-CatNip, a frequency-shifting delay plugin powered by Plugdata.
Should you’ve used Ewan Bristow’s plugins earlier than, you may little doubt guess that EB-CatNip runs within the free Plugdata programming atmosphere.
Plugdata runs on macOS, Home windows, Linux, and extra as a plugin (VST3, LV2, AU, CLAP) or a standalone app.
Bristow describes EB-CatNip as his cutest plugin but and options Fred the kitty on the show, however its sounds are something however cutesy.
Reasonably, as we’ve come to anticipate from Bristow, the plugin can produce some wild and experimental sounds.
Bristow states that EB-CatNip is closely impressed by the cow impact on Teenage Engineering’s OP-1 Area synth.
He describes the discharge as a delay plugin with an SSB-based frequency shifter in between each move and provides that it’s a sound design funhouse.
Bristow created an introductory YouTube video operating over the options and displaying off a few of the weird sounds that the plugin is able to creating.
Within the video, he runs an digital drum beat and edits the Frequency, Delay, Suggestions and SDBand parameters
The Frequency parameter adjusts the quantity of frequency shifting utilized between every delay rotation, whereas SBBand “blends upwards and downwards shifting.”
Delay adjusts the delay time, whereas Suggestions adjusts the quantity of the unique sign fed again into the delay loop.
After I listened to the plugin in motion, it was clear that even with these 4 primary panel parameters, EB-CatNip can produce a variety of sounds, from refined modulation to sound results harking back to a sci-fi film.
However wait, there’s extra! The developer included a modulation web page with an LFO part that controls the envelope sort, quantity, velocity, and vacation spot of the modulation.
There’s additionally a three-band EQ to form the sound, a wet-dry combine management, Enter, Output, and a Spectral Gate that’s utilized earlier than the delay chain.
I’ve to say that Bristow simply retains doing himself with every launch, and it’s hella spectacular how a lot creativity and options he places into these freebies.
