Spaced Out

Dream Big

Spaced Out offers a pristine sounding one-stop solution for your wet-FX needs on drums, instruments and vocals. Use it subtly to add depth and movement — or go explore the outer bounds of wet-FX processing.

It is no secret that Baby Audio are obsessed with the quirks, sounds, and simplicity of vintage analog gear. With every software product Baby Audio makes, they hope to offer a little bit of that same hands-on experience and instant gratification. Never by emulating the past — but by tapping into its spirit to invent something new.

With Spaced Out, Baby Audio asked themselves this: How would they design a “space echo” effect today, almost 50 years after the original, with the abundance of computer power and algorithmic complexity at their disposal? 

They set out to create an effect as fun, flavoured and futuristic for the 21st century as the Space Echo was for its own time. It’s been an epic journey and Baby Audio are proud to have returned with their most complex plugin to date.

Atoms

Synthesis From The Other Side

Atoms is a new kind of synth plugin that utilizes cutting edge physical modeling to generate an endless variety of organic and otherworldly sounds. Use it to build naturally rich textures that the world hasn’t heard before.

Complex Physics In A Simple Package

Physical modeling simulates the behavior of real life instruments. However, Atoms takes you beyond what’s possible in the natural world. Its features are complex enough to explore the outer bounds of sound design, yet so simple that you can easily mangle, shape and create.

At its core, Atoms is powered by a simulation of interconnected masses and springs with tweakable properties and dimensions. The model is triggered by a virtual bowing action that excites the system and makes it vibrate to generate sound.

A Living Organism

Nothing in the natural world is ever truly static. Physical modeling adopts this trait by generating sounds that have the same organic fluctuations as acoustic instruments.

But Atoms takes it further. Its six main parameters can be automated with a selection of powerful motion options to add extra life. This lets you create soundscapes that are constantly re-generating, like a natural organism.

If you’re used to working with sample libraries, Atoms will bring a new level of otherworldly realism into your tracks.

Program New Patches With A Click

Atoms comes equipped with a powerful randomization engine. At its heart is a musically calibrated algorithm that selectively adjusts each parameter based on its relationship to the others, giving you usable patches with every roll of the dice.

You can narrow the algorithm further by limiting the random ranges for any knob or locking parameters from changing.

Finally, the Recycle button is a second randomizer that will create new patches similar to the current patch. Once you have a sound you like, click recycle to explore related options.

Physically Modeled Effects

The bottom panel gives you a range of creative effects to further sculpt your sound. You can also choose between four sonic profiles, each offering a different calibration of the mass spring network simulation that powers Atoms.

With the exception of Space (reverb), all effects in the bottom panel are created by altering the physical model itself, as opposed to adding a separate FX chain. This gives you a range of unique modulation effects that are an inherent part of the physical model and sound naturally pleasing.

Features

• Chaos: Atoms’ virtual masses and springs can introduce nonlinearities as they push each other back and forth. Turning up the Chaos control increases this effect for seasick pitch glides and detuning.
• Order: Atoms’ mass-spring networks gradually lose high frequency energy as they decay—a physical process known as damping. Increase the Order control to introduce greater damping to the springs, acting like a low-pass filter.
• Force: A mass-spring interaction model needs a source of energy to generate sound through vibration. In Atoms, it’s a virtual bow. The Force parameter controls the pressure of the bow on the springs, adding noisiness and sharper harmonics as you increase it.
• Overtones: Overtones controls the position of Atoms’ virtual bow along the mass-spring network. Turn it up to bow closer to the boundary, producing bright overtones like those of a violin bowed close to the bridge.
• Drive: Harmonic clipping with a waveshaping function that can bring out the complex harmonics Atoms creates.
• Resonant Low-Pass Filter: A traditional low-pass filter with resonance for even more tone shaping. Can be automated for LFO filter sweeps.
• Musical Automation: Movement is the key to Atoms’ evolving, organic sound. The plugin’s intuitive automation system lets you put all six main parameters into motion. Choose from four distinct automation types (including polyphonic aftertouch, if enabled) and set their rate, range and behavior. Or sync to the host tempo for rhythmic effects. Atoms’ LFOs can run independently, or they can be triggered per voice for maximum flexibility.
• Visualizer: Atoms’ graphical display gives you visual feedback on the behavior of the mass-spring systems under the hood. It’s a direct representation of the nodes and connections in the simulation, so what you see is exactly what you hear. Watch as you play to see the mass-spring network in action.
• Root & Profile: Atoms can handle everything from powerful basslines to growling leads and airy pads. The root control lets you quickly set the octave range to transpose up and down. The four unique profiles give you different arrangements of Atoms’ mass-spring network for even more sonic range. From pristine detail to lo-fi goodness, each profile has its own character to discover.
• Attack & Release: Atoms' envelope shape comes from the physics of its mass-spring model. Its attack control varies the onset of the virtual bow from abrupt to gradual. This lets you dial in everything from gentle pads to aggressive plucks. The release control affects damping in the mass-spring network for everything from short decay to infinite sustain. 
• Movement, Modulation & Vibrato: Atoms’ mass-spring interaction model can create interesting variations on classic modulation effects. Varying the pickup position on the springs or modulating their stiffness gives rise to unique chorus and vibrato. Altering the depth and speed of the bowing action creates a subtle undulating motion. These effects are all part of the actual physical model and do not introduce any separate processing.
• Reverb: A little context can go a long way when it comes to synth sounds. Atoms’ built-in reverb lets you add ambience with simple size and mix controls on an X/Y pad.
• 250+ High Quality Presets: Atoms comes with hundreds of custom presets from leading producers, so you’ll never run out of inspiration. From sci-fi SFX to organic, string-like textures, browsing sounds lets you explore every side of Atoms’ personality. 
• Further Settings: Atoms comes equipped with MPE-based polyphonic aftertouch, a built-in global tuner and two color themes. Toggle between monophonic and polyphonic modes or enable the ECO option for more lightweight processing. The PANIC button stops all voices if unexpected behavior occurs.

IHNY-2

Mix Harder

The plugin is purpose-designed for slamming your tracks in parallel and will hit harder than your typical go-to compressors. It is not subtle, but a dedicated tool for adding energy and “slap” to drums, mix buses or even the master bus (if you dare!)

IHNY-2 is an evolution of Baby Audio's very first plugin, I Heart NY. The original was a favourite with many users and was picked for the SOS Awards by Sound On Sound Magazine. V2 ships with new features, surgical control – and improvements in sound.

Features

• Configuration - IHNY-2 splits the incoming audio into two duplicates. One remains untouched by the plugin (Dry track), the other is subjected to all the goodness IHNY-2 has to offer (Wet track).
• Tweak Panel - HNY-2 is meant to be as fast and intuitive as its predecessor. But if you need to go deeper, the Tweak Panel gives you full control over the compressor. 
• Attack + Release - Sets how fast the compressor engages and disengages. 
• Ratio - Sets the compression intensity from mild to aggressive.
• Punch - Heavy compression tends to suck the transients out of a signal. The Punch control works to emphasize attack transients in the compressed track, helping it cut through even at very high compression levels.
• Harmonics - Imagine a saturator that behaves like a compressor – that’s Harmonics. This feature introduces harmonic saturation controlled by the gain-reduction, meaning more compressed parts get saturated harder.
• Shape - Adds the custom ‘smiley EQ curve’ to bring out the lows and highs and make the compressed signal more present. (The smiley EQ curve is what sets “New York Compression” apart from regular parallel compression. IHNY-2 can do both).
• Tilt - Makes the compressor work harder on either the low or high end of your signal – which can be useful for controlling bass-heavy material and letting the high end breathe (or vice versa).
• Lo + Hi Preserve - Prevents the low and high frequencies from being compressed above/below the cutoff points. This is a great way to preserve the kick while squashing the rest of your drum bus.
• Oversampling - Run the plugin in 1x, 2x or 4x oversampling modes. (1x recommended for better CPU performance).
• Solo - Monitor the wet signal in solo. Useful for finetuning – or for using IHNY-2 as a regular insert compressor.

TAIP

Warm Up Your Sound

Tape recordings have a musical quality that digital mixes often lack. TAIP brings this quality into your DAW. It will add some authentic analogue heat to your tracks, without the need to route any audio outside the box.

Tape plugins are not a new concept. However, this emulation method is. Instead of using traditional DSP, Baby Audio has developed TAIP around an AI algorithm designed to decipher the invisible nuances of analogue circuits.

The result is a truly faithful tape emulation that’s intuitive and creative in use – with some added features to accommodate a modern workflow. Use TAIP to bring a touch of warmth and glue to your tracks, or ‘drive it like you hate it’ as an alternative to your distortion plugins.

TAIP is Baby Audio's creation of the ideal ‘Tape Machine’ for the DAW-era, combining an authentic vintage sound with a modern feature set. Its parameters will let you customize the right tape flavour for any need.

Features

• DRIVE: Traditionally, tape machines were designed to colour the sound as little as possible. TAIP is not. You can use the DRIVE knob to add just as much colour as you need - from a subtle touch of heat to heavy distortion.
• MIX/TAPE FLANGING: MIX lets you run your tape in parallel. You can combine MIX and WEAR to get a classic ‘tape flanging’ effect. This is caused by the wow and flutter of WEAR running in parallel with the dry track.
• MODEL: While SINGLE is a regular tape emulation, DUAL creates a series of two tape emulations chained together under the hood, each applying half of the DRIVE value. This will add slightly more weight to your signal.
• LO-SHAPE / HI-SHAPE: These sliders let you saturate the low/high end more or less than the rest of the frequency spectrum. (Example: Warm up a drum bus without distorting the low frequencies).
• GLUE: Tape machines are known to introduce a pleasing compression-like effect due to their low dynamic range. TAIP lets you add this effect – or even exaggerate it. Use GLUE for subtle cohesion or as an actual compressor.
• NOISE: Lets you add tape noise to taste – or avoid it altogether.
• WEAR: Combines wow, flutter, and an altered frequency response curve to emulate a worn-out tape machine.
• PRESENCE: Part of the tape warmth comes from an attenuated high-end. PRESENCE allows you to decide how much of that attenuation you want. It can bring back the brightness that is sometimes lost on tape.
• INPUT: Choose between NORMAL or HOT (more distorted) input levels without affecting the output volume.
• AUTO GAIN: Allows you to add more DRIVE while keeping a consistent plugin output level.
