Aberrant DSP Complete Bundle

The Aberrant DSP Complete bundle includes: ShapeShifter, Tectonic, Digitalis, SketchCassette II, Lair, and Cataclysm. Offering everything from advanced dynamics remodeling, multi-band tonal shaping, digital degradation, tape emulation, experimental reverberation, and total signal destruction for complete creative sonic transformation.

ShapeShifter

Inspired by SketchCassette’s NR Comp algorithm, ShapeShifter is a one-of-a-kind dynamics remodeler and character compressor that will completely transform the shape of your sounds. ShapeShifter moulds a blend of multi-band upward and downward compression into a toolbox for adding colour, body, and grit to your sounds. This can take the form of anything from a subtle vibe boost to blown-open, raucous carnage.

Features

• Upward / Downward compression controlled with a common Ratio
• Transients section with Ratio and Threshold controls, allowing for separate control of downward compression
• Upward compression Floor control for taming room sound or unwanted noise
• Flexible envelope shaping through Attack and Release time controls
• Tone adjustment for broad shifts in colour and character
• Wide-ranging Drive control with two models: A (gentle) and B (hard)
• Asymmetry control for attaining harsher, grittier drive textures by way of even-order harmonics
• Dry / Wet mixer for easy parallel processing
• Custom preset system with 64 factory presets, showcasing ShapeShifter’s versatility

Tectonic

Tectonic is a multi-band toneshaping channel strip. Combining equalization, imaging, and dynamics processing, Tectonic is a complete sonic toolkit for anything from subtle sweetening to total tonal transformation.

Features

•  4 bands of upward / downward compression
  • Boosting a band applies upward + downward compression
  • Cutting a band applies only downward compression
  • -12 dB to 12 dB trim gain per band
• Selectable transition frequency between each set of adjacent bands
• Per band Mute, Solo, and processing Bypass
• Mid / Side panner per band, allowing independent stereo narrowing and widening of each frequency range
• Master mix, input gain, and output gain
• Six style selections to adjust the feel and intensity of the dynamics processing
• Custom preset system with 65 factory presets illustrating Tectonic’s wide range of toneshaping abilities

Features

• Data Manipulation Window
• Corruption Window
• Time Window
• Customizable window order, allowing you to change Digitalis’s signal flow
• 16-step, tempo-synced sequencer with 4 slots for effects, opening up endless possibilities for custom modulations and rhythmic variations
• Advanced AI assistant Jon to guide you through all that Digitalis has to offer
• Custom preset system with 98 factory presets illustrating Digitalis’s vast arsenal of effects
