Motion Bundle

Introducing the Motion Bundle: a dynamic combination of Motion: Harmonic, Motion: Dimension and Motion: Fractal, designed for producers seeking to push the boundaries of sound design. 

This exclusive package offers essential tools for shaping, modulating, and transforming audio. Whether you're sculpting intricate textures with Harmonic's distortion and bitcrushing, crafting expansive soundscapes with Dimension's sophisticated delays and reverbs, or generating complex granular atmospheres & rhythms with Fractal, the Motion Bundle equips you with everything needed to bring depth, movement, and expression to your sonic creations.

Motion: Fractal

Motion: Fractal unleashes endless motion, texture, and modern sonic transformation through dual granular engines, a reactive trance gate, and stutter-repeat effects.

Whether you're crafting fractured beats, shimmering ambience, or glitched-out sequences, Fractal makes it musical, immediate, and deeply customisable.

What can Motion: Fractal do?

• Enhance static sounds with mesmerising granular textures.
• Sculpt hypnotic, pulsating rhythms with an intuitive trance gate.
• Trigger engaging, glitchy repetitions with flexible stutter repeats.
• Control parameters with your cursor for mind-bending sound design.
• Discover endless possibilities with flexible effects routing.
• Bring modulation to life through an immersive, reactive 3D visualisation.

Creative Flow, Visually Driven

At the heart of the Motion experience is the intuitive hexagon controller, an evolution of the XY-pad, where you can assign and morph between granular parameters, gated rhythms, and loop behaviours in real-time. No menu diving. No friction. Just expressive control at your fingertips.

All effect modules, including the dual-granular engines, trance gate, and beat repeater can be fully rearranged, allowing you to explore countless sonic combinations and signal flows.

Glitch, Groove, Grains

Twist, stretch, and scatter any audio in time with twin granular engines that respond to your audio. Sync each grain to your track or drift off-grid into experimental chaos. From stuttered fragments to slow-motion time-stretching, every sound you feed into Fractal is reborn with rich texture and pulsing energy.

Layer unpredictable grains, precisely control pitch and tempo-sync patterns, or freeze audio to sculpt drones and granular pads that evolve endlessly. Enhance these evolving textures further using the dedicated Space module. Streamlined controls allow you to effortlessly create lush reverbs—ideal for adding cohesion to your granular soundscapes.

Pulse, Stutter, Subtract

Inject rhythm into your sounds with Fractal's trance gate and beat-repeat engines. Customise intricate patterns via a 32-step trance gate sequencer, sync rates seamlessly to your project's tempo, and shape dropouts smoothly or sharply with precise envelope controls for hypnotic grooves.

And with Fractal’s Repeater, craft complex, dynamic stutters using adjustable repetition counts, interval triggers, and sync or free timing - perfect for creating glitchy rhythmic textures and pulsating patterns.

The Hexagon offers six macro sliders that can be assigned to control any of the onboard effect parameters.

Motion: Dimension employs the Hexagon controller for intuitive and animated effect modulation. Drag and drop parameters onto the six macro sliders, each assignable for detailed sound shaping. The magnetic cursor creates an interactive experience, making modulation a part of your production.

The Hexagon: Reactive Animation

Improving upon the concept of the traditional XY pad, the hexagon provides new automation possibilities, allowing six macro sliders to be pushed and pulled together by a magnetic field surrounding your mouse cursor.

Cursor movements can be played live, recorded or pre-programmed; and then controlled with extensive timing and playback options.

Perform Your Effect

Customise your cursor’s magnetic field controlling how you interact with the sliders.

Design intricate paths around the Hexagon by plotting points or recording your mouse movements freely.

Take control of your modulation with detailed timing and trimming adjustments to generate endless sonic landscapes. Whether adding subtle echoes to a guitar, designing atmospheric pads, or creating rhythmic complexity in electronic music, Dimension's timeline is your gateway to dynamic auditory realms.

Dynamic Dual Delays

Each delay in Dimension offers comprehensive control over your sound:

• L+R Delay Time & Feedback: Independent timing for intricate stereo effects.
• Ping-Pong & Reverse Delay: Toggle for rhythmic variety and reverse effects for textural intrigue.
• Repitch, Mod Depth & Rate: Pitch adjustments that react to your delay time changes, perfect for creative effects.
• Tone, Duck, and Filtering: Fine-tune the echo's character and frequencies.

Reverb That Breathes

Dimension’s reverb capabilities allow for a seamless blend between plate and hall characteristics:

• Character: Smoothly navigate between reverb types, from tight, reflective plates to vast, open halls.
• Length, Size and Distance: Control the scale of your space and the balance between early and late reflections for precise spatial imaging.
• Advanced Tone Shaping: Includes Shelf Frequency, Shelf Gain, and Hi-/Lo-Cut filters to perfectly integrate the reverb into your tracks.

Routing Redefined

Dimension’s new routing options allow any combination of series and parallel processing between the two delays and the reverb unit, offering unprecedented flexibility in building your sound, and allowing for complex, layered effects configurations.

Motion: Harmonic

Motion: Harmonic opens up new frontiers in distortion, filtering and bitcrushing, placing you at the centre of a dynamic and responsive sound-shaping experience.

Transforming your audio signal is now an animated, and creative experience with the innovative and reactive Hexagon controller.

From subtle warming and shaping to intense modulated signal destruction, Motion: Harmonic puts everything you need at your fingertips. Comprehensive parameters for distortion, bitcrushing and filtering take these effects into new creative territory giving you new ways to play with sound. 

What can Motion: Harmonic do?

• Transform loops into evolving phrases.
• Design expressive filter sweeps.
• Distort drum hits with unique character.
• Enhance harmonics of 808's, kicks, and basses.
• Create morphing textures and atmospheres.
• Energise guitar and synth melodies.
• Add movement and rhythm to pads.
• Experiment with sound design using your mouse.
• Visualise audio with a 3D reactive object.

Design your desired path around the hexagon by plotting points or record your mouse movements freely.

Take control of the modulation and trim and warp your path’s timing freely to generate endless ideas. You might, for example, choose to record a slow, careful movement with your mouse and then speed it up. Or you may carefully design a complex point-by-point and set it to play very slowly, transforming a static loop into a continually evolving pattern.
 

Bitcrusher: Flavoursome Degradation

Experience the contemporary, digital degradation that only a bitcrusher can provide.

• Bit Depth and Sample Rate: Lower fidelity to emulate the gritty sound of early digital systems.
• Dynamic Control: Focus the bitcrushing effect on transients for enhanced dynamics.
• Frequency Range Sliders (Lo and Hi): Isolate the effect to specific frequency bands, leaving the rest of the spectrum untouched.
• Mix: Tame the destructive effects and blending the original signal back in.

Distortion: Heat with Feedback

Unleash powerful, controllable distortion with a unique feedback loop for extra depth.

• Drive and Tone Controls: Dial in your desired distortion flavor, from smooth to intense.
• Character Dial: Smoothly transition between tape, tube, and fuzz sounds.
• Dynamic Response: Adjust how the distortion reacts to signal transients.
• Feedback Control: Add a resonant feedback loop, with adjustable frequency for different tonal effects.

Toggle the distortion and bitcrushing visualisers to reveal your settings' real-time effects on the wet signal and compare the output to your dry signal.

Filtering: Highlight and Sculpt

When modulated by Motion: Harmonic’s Hexagon controller, these high-pass and low-pass filters, with frequency, slope and resonance controls, can provide anything from distortion-calming and slow, undulating effects to rhythmic sweeps and chops. The filter effects can be placed before or after the Bitcrushing and Distortion modules.

• High-Pass & Low-Pass Filters: Adjust frequency, slope, and resonance to shape your sound.
• Filter Placement: Choose to apply filters before or after bitcrushing and distortion for varied effects.
• Peak Filter: Create peaks or notches for modern audio effects like spectral resonance or phaser sounds.
