Inertia Sound Systems FX Bundle

The Inertia Effect

The FX Bundle includes every effect Inertia has created. With this bundle, you get their highly acclaimed drive and delay. Instinct is a living organism of drive, dynamics, and tone perfect for adding that finishing touch to truly define your sound. The second included effect is Hinder, a vintage lo-fi delay that brings uniqueness and character to your tone. Combine these carefully crafted effects plugins to unlock a new dimension of sound.

Instinct

A Living Organism of Drive, Dynamics and Tone

Instinct is not just another distortion, dynamics processing,  or tone shaping audio engine.

It is a sonic monster that can create new worlds from the sound you feed it with, varying from smooth analog warmth or dynamics processing to total destruction, aggressiveness and alienation.

Buttery Smooth

Instinct can deliver results that vary from smooth saturation or mild dynamics processing, to extremely distorted and noisy breathing sounds, with wide dynamics and a very rich frequency spectrum.

High quality, Transistor and Tube models

That can be tweaked, interchanged and modulated in depth.

A wide response transient shaper "SCULPT"

This is the modulation source that pumps the heart on Instinct. With controls overtime response and character, it can modulate many circuit parameters, achieving unique dynamics and distortion shaping. SCULPT is able to operate on auxiliary buffers as it supports an external sidechain.

VA Resonant Filters

High-quality zero-delay feedback analogue modelled drive and tone filters, with internal saturation, and self-oscillation.

Versatile signal flow

Instinct provides a lot of freedom regarding which modules are active or inactive. This creates different signal flow choices with different characters and a wide sound result palette.

Morph

Models, and model parameters can be smoothly tweaked.

High-quality Resampling

With bandlimited sync interpolation. Operating at 4x or 8x oversampling for pristine sound.

Preset System

Instinct comes with many built-in presets varying from smooth warm dynamics and drive to more creative/wild /noisy ones. These can be a good starting point both for mixing and sound design.

Features

• High quality, Transistor and Tube models.
• Versatile signal flow, with one or two drive circuits in series.
• VA Resonant Filters
• A wide response transient shaper "SCULPT" with an optional external sidechain.
• Morph across circuit models and circuit model parameters.
• Transparent high-quality Boost Filter.
• High-quality resampling.

Hinder

That Vintage Lo-Fi Delay You've Been Missing

Hinder brings uniqueness and character to your tone. You can't go wrong with it.

New is not always better. That's why Inertia Sound Systems looked into something that was proven and true. Bucket Brigade Delay has stood the test of time, but since they were not limited to the confinements of its era, Inertia kicked it up a notch.

Hinder's core has been accurately modelled after BBD principles. But it comes with many useful and creative features, including sound design and versatility. It aims to be a swiss army knife when a vintage delay tone is needed.

Accurate BBD Modelling with Sound Tweaking Freedom

Hinder has been built following the BBD principle of operation. However, it exposes several of the design parameters to the user, but also adds new ones such as L/R channel delay time decoupling, width and reverse delay so that creative realms could be explored. 

Overall Tone for Brighter or Darker Sound

Inertia tried to cover as much ground as possible. You can change the overall tone of the plugin by setting the bright/dark parameter.

Separate or Linked Delay Times for Left and Right Channel

Delay times can be set up separately for Left and Right channels so that interesting/polyrhythmic patterns can be created

Stereo Width

Width control for wider delay effects.

Feedback LP / HP Analog modelled Filters

Hinder features analog modelled resonant Lowpass and Highpass filters in its feedback path, that can further shape your tone

Feedback Compression Module with Amount and Speed Controls

Hinder features a compressor module in its feedback path that in combination with feedback and heat can create sounds that vary from punchy repeats to overdriven noisy drones.

Overdrive via the HEAT Parameter

Heat adjustment that reflects the resampling, and feedback filters, can significantly tune Hinder towards a cleaner or overdriven sound character

Chorus and Flanger Effects

Hinder features delay modulation, turning it into a chorus or flanger effect, with all the creative directions that can be achieved with the aforementioned modules and tweaking parameters.

Bit Depth and Quantisation Artefact Mix Control

Hinder features controls for input signal quantization and quantization artefact mix, which is a standard BBD element. But by exposing it to the user it can be creatively employed in combination with heat and feedback compression for noisy droney delay soundscapes.

Synced to Host or Free Running

Hinder can be set up to sync to the host. Moving from sync to free will recall the previous parameter values.

Preset System

HINDER comes with many built-in presets that cover a fair ground of standard delay use for Guitars, Vocals, Drums and everything in between. But many of them also point towards a sound design point of view, them being droney, noisy or glitchy.

Features

• Accurate BBD modelling with sound tweaking freedom
• Overall tone for a brighter or darker sound
• Separate or Linked Delay Time for Left and Right Channel
