Puremagnetik is pleased to release Innervelt, a free plugin to complement Noontide by Micah Frank – out now on Puremagnetik Tapes.
Innervelt is a “Dark Haze Machine” that captures incoming audio and processes it through an unconventional order of effects. A Chebyshev waveshaper distorts the signal as it passes through an algorithmic space. The space effect itself is modulated by a variable sample and hold circuit, causing subtle to dramatic swells and pulses in the dry to wet ratio. The entire chain is then sampled by a short looper that can be truncated and blended with the original signal, on-the-fly. With the MEMORY control you can easily create variations, stutter effects and new phrases of ambient washes.
Minimum Requirements – OSX 10.8 or Windows 10 x64 – Audio Units or VST compatible audio host
HAPPY HOLIDAYS! And goodbye to the shit that has been 2020!
Speektra is a speech simulation synthesizer based on the VOSIM method developed by Kaegi and Tempelaars in the 1970s. It uses bursts of pulses with formant characteristics to synthesize robotic vowel sounds.
VOSIM (VOice SIMulation) sound synthesis is based on the idea that by employing repeating tone-burst signals of variable pulse duration and variable delay, a sound output of high linguistic and musical expressive power can be obtained. – Journal of the Audio Engineering Society, June, 1978
The Puremagnetik implementation of VOSIM stretches things a bit further, allowing you to seamlessly morph between vowels, manually or via a modulator. You can also choose your voice register (Bass to Soprano). Designed with a versatile set of controls, Speektra excels as a lead voice synth, a percussive vocal, or a choral drone.
Speektra Features – VOSIM-based vocal synthesis – Manual or modulated control of vocal morph functions – Random function for inter-note modulations – Voice register selection – Integrates into any VST / Audio Units compatible host – Includes a collection of factory presets

Puremagnetik artist Boris Salchow has combined his field recordings and prepared piano sounds into a free “texture microsampler” alongside his album Stars. Now you can download a soundbank of his tactile recordings in a microsampler/rompler device by Puremagnetik. Be sure to read Puremagnetik’s Q&A with Boris.
It is a versatile sound design tool that can be used for anything from ambient sound washes to tension-building backdrops and intricate soundscapes

Puremagnetik is pleased to release Kristall – a plugin inspired by Arovane’s Gestalt, out now on Puremagnetik Tapes.
Kristall is a unique delay device that creates “prisms” of echo patterns. It sends audio through a delay feedback line and resamples the output into 2 discrete branches. You can then manipulate each branch independently and adjust playback locations for each channel.
Use Kristall as a simple delay or create segmented repetitions from the feedback buffer that modulate and overlap. The result creates complex patterns that augment the delay feedback in unconventional ways, uncovering myriad possibilities for sound experimentation.

Puremagnetik experimental duo Larum – known for their signature tape drones and dreamy, ambient soundscapes – invite you into their world with a complementary plugin.
Alongside the album, they have also released Weave – a buffer manipulator, space and soundscape machine inspired by drone and tape music. Now Larum have made this tool available for you to use your studio too!

Granule is a granular delay processor designed to glitch, bend and tweak your audio into strange worlds of robotic sci-fi. Inspired by the Red Panda Particle guitar pedal it takes incoming signal and chops it up into tiny “grains”. After chopping your audio, these particles are routed through a looper, spectral pitch shifter and variable delay line. From there, you rearrange the grains, stretch them, morph them and create everything from marvelous shimmering pads to completely ludicrous glitch effects!
Granule works best with pre-recorded material but feel free to experiment with live input as well. You never know what you might get!
Granule Features – Granular processor – Loopback buffer – Spectral pitch shifter – Variable delay line – Wet and dry mix controls – Waveform display – A collection of factory presets
Minimum Requirements – OSX 10.8 or Windows 10 x64 – Audio Units or VST compatible audio host
Plectrik is a versatile string resonator synthesizer. It was designed to create simple, elegant tones that can be sculpted into plucked and bowed articulations. Plectrik can produce timbres ranging from harpsichord to bowed strings to mallet percussion and more.
Plectrik’s internal workings employ Karplus-Strong algorithms fed into a soft overdrive. An optional ring modulator provides augmented and chaotic tone design. The final stage of the signal passes through a Moog-style low pass filter and a fixed delay “doubling” module.
Whether you are scoring a film, creating EDM or writing experimental music, Plectrik has a unique sound palette guaranteed to inspire your productions.
Plectrik Features – Karplus-Strong Synthesis Core – Resonator “Body” Selection – Wood and Metal Physical Modeling – Soft Overdrive / Distortion – Built-in Mod Delay – Built-in Ring Modulator
Minimum Requirements – OSX 10.8 or Windows 10 x64 – Audio Units or VST compatible audio host
Re-Function | Buffer Modulation Machine Re-Function is a buffer modulation controller. It records incoming audio, stores it in a temporary buffer and allows you to manipulate the playback positioning with 4 dedicated sources.
Re-Function works excellently on rhythmic material and can create some beautiful, shimmering ambiances with pianos, mallets, and guitars. Re-Function also excels as a beat glitch tool as it automatically tempo syncs its modulations to your host environment as it warps, bends and twists the playback of the incoming signal.
Re-Function’s four main parameters, Filter, Placement, Window and Mix can all be independently modulated with variable waveform LFOs. This means that you can constantly, tweak, pump and glitch the buffer to no end!
Re-Function Features • Multi-mode filter with low, high and band-pass filters • Individual modulation control of each buffer parameter • Visual waveform display • Integrates into any VST / Audio Units compatible host • Includes a collection of factory presets
Minimum Requirements • OSX 10.8 or Windows 10 x64 • Audio Units or VST compatible audio host
Mimik is a temporal and tonal manipulation machine. It is designed to help you explore and exploit the microsonic aspects of whatever you feed it. Mimik records your incoming audio to a short buffer that you can tweak, bend and stutter to completely alter your rhythms and sounds.
Mimik’s buffer can be truncated or randomly modulated. It allows you to pitch-stretch without altering duration and time-shift without changing pitch. You can reverse, chop, freeze and re-phrase almost anything. Mimik can be used for subtle articulation nuances or more extreme beat processing… how to use the power of Mimik is up to you!
Mimik Features • Loop time compression and stretch from 1:4 to 4:1 • Manual or modulated control of buffer length from 10ms to 1 second • Pitch-shift from -2 to +2 octaves • Integrates into any VST / Audio Units compatible host • Includes a collection of factory presets
Minimum Requirements • OSX 10.8 or Windows 10 x64 • Audio Units or VST compatible audio host
Cloud Machine | Spectral Blur and Space Creator Cloud Machine is a spectral blurring and space utility. It creates sweeping clouds of resynthesized particles from any audio input. Use it in real time to turn your voice into a glacial canvas. Process drums, vocals and synthesizers to create shimmering, evolving textures. You can use Cloud Machine for subtle effects, or crank it up for the unexpected!
Cloud Machine Features • Spectral blurring and resynthesis • Spectral pitch shifting • Dedicated, stereo reverb effect • Integrates into any VST / Audio Units compatible host • Includes a collection of factory presets
Minimum Requirements • OSX 10.8 or Windows 10 x64 • Audio Units or VST compatible audio host
