Next, PrimalTap, modelled on Lexicon's late- 70s/early-80s game-changer, the Prime Time digital delay. LittleAlterBoy can do wonderful things to rhythmic sources, too. The resulting range of effects is awesome, and the MIDI control feature lets you pitch the signal via MIDI input, turning the plugin into a robotic voice player (in Robot mode) or harmonizer. The Drive dial adds grit to the end product, and the Dry/Wet knob allows parallel processing. The pitch section's two (linkable) dials, Pitch and Formant, do what you'd expect, while three pitch processing modes - Transpose, Quantize and Robot - switch between regular transposition, T-Pain style hard- pitching and locking the input signal to a single, user-defined pitch. LittleAlterBoy combines technology from Soundtoys' first release, Pure Pitch, with saturation from Decapitator to create a variety of vocal pitching effects. Beyond that, Focus progressively removes low and mid frequencies from the effect. Soundtoys MicroShift condenses this technique down to two main controls, Detune and Delay (offsetting the timing of the L/R signals), and three model switches, calling up the sounds of the aforementioned hardware. Radiator is perfect for adding character to just about anything you throw through it - transparency certainly isn't the name of the game.Įver wondered how some 80s synth patches sounded so lustrously wide? They were probably mixed using the Eventide 910, Eventide H3000 or AMS DMX 15-80S, employing the trick of pitchshifting one channel up a little and the other down, then delaying the timing of either. The original's Treble and Bass EQs are present, as is the Gain control, delivering over 90dB of boost (with optional authentic noise), and the Mic/Line input selector. Radiator recreates the sound of Altec's 1567A tube mixer, immortalised on countless Motown hits. The new bloodįollowing the release of Soundtoys Native Effects v4, the Soundtoys catalogue has continued to expand, and all nine plugins added since 2010 are also included in the v5 bundle.ĭevil Loc Deluxe (and smaller sibling, Devil Loc) are based on Shure's M62V (aka Level Loc), a late-60s vocal compressor subsequently reinvented as a drums squasher, so we won't get into it again except to say that it's great for heavy and characterfully distorting compression. And PhaseMistress takes iconic boxes like Mutron's BiPhase and adds 24-stage phasing, relegating a number of proud pedals to a box underneath the SSL. Its extreme compression and gritty sound eventually became a secret weapon of some well-known and very creative engineers and producers.Decapitator was the first saturation plugin to tempt many big-name producers away from their Ampex 350s, EMI TG Channels, Neve 1057 preamps and Thermionic Culture Vultures. The original Shure Level-Loc from the 1960s was a brick wall limiter designed to be used in public address systems. Dark thundering drums, to driven lo-fi loops, and more, and the mix control saves all that tedious routing and lets you automate mix to keep the Devil from taking over the soul of your tracks. The addition of these controls opens up the sonic palette immensely. The Deluxe version adds a “Darkness” control for tone, switchable slow or fast release times and a mix knob so you can mix your dry signal back in right on the front panel. To take things beyond the hardware that inspired it and give you even more creative flexibility, we’ve created a deluxe version of the Devil-Loc plug-in, Devil-Loc Deluxe. There are NO returns on this product.Ī crushing, pounding, aggressive compressor for massive drums.
