plug(un)s. spectralsand2 (plugdata)-FANTASTiC screenshot
FANTASTiC | 17 November 2024 | 14 KB
spectralsand2 is a spectral delay and filter plugin built around 2 central arrays and the concept of signal printing. now, what exactly does that mean?

essentially, spectralsand can break down the frequency spectrum into hundreds of tiny bits, changing the delay time and volume of each one.

this allows it to completely change the timbre of whatever it's fed; but it gets better, because the delay and volume are organized in a graph that can be manipulated by a whole host of sources! you can use basic shapes, white noise, custom waveforms, and even a separate audio input! this unlocks strange new ways to make lasery noises, beautiful soundscapes, wet swampy sounds, and whatever else you can imagine.

features
•delay tab: control how much the plugin delays each bin. this value can be offset between the left and right channels, making super wide delays.
•filter tab (NEW): control the amount of volume each bin has. this allows you to create spectral filters, which can be edited with 3 modifiers (gate, expand, and floor)
•feedback: feed the delays back into themselves creating strange, exponential echoes. (also comes equipped with a panic button so you don't burst your eardrums)
•binsize: change how many pieces spectralsand breaks your input into (anywhere from 128-2048).
•mix: blend the original input with the delayed output to find a perfect middle-ground.
•sidechain mode (full version only): send spectralsand a sidechain input from another audio source (or maybe even from... itself?) to find unconventional combos of two sounds. (comes with a •boost function to make the sidechain input more pronounced)
•randomize (full version only): who doesn't love a good old-fashioned randomizer?
•themes (full version only): spectralsand comes with the ability to load and make its' own themes in a matter of minutes. customize your copy of the plugin to fit your unique style! (also comes shipped with some of the best themes made by the spectralsand community)

closing notes
this plugin was the end result of roughly 2 years of on-and-off work, all while dealing with school and learning to program in a brand new language called puredata. if you decide to buy the full version, i appreciate you so much and i hope you enjoy it. all i ask is that you share it with everyone you think will be interested in it.

i also want to give HUGE shoutouts to:
•mike moreno, for helping me weed out a ton of technical gremlins early on in development.
•nasko and the plugdata discord community, for giving me tips on how to make the plugdata port better.
•johannes kreidler, for making the example patch that inspired this plugin.
•blair, for helping with the marketing.
•all of my wonderful beta testers, ESPECIALLY the ones that contributed themes for the plugin. you're all so amazing

thanks for this! I only see the .pd file in the folder, am I supposed to open this up in plugdata and export it as vst?
