Fletcher

Fletcher is a tool for smoothing time.

Working spectrally, Fletcher takes the current signal’s frequency spectrum and uses it as a “target” to slowly morph the output sound to as time goes on. 

Additionally, Fletcher can also add extra sound acting as a “decay”, adding extra sound over time for the morphing to continue even after no sound is coming in.

Fletcher is kind of like a compressor, but also kind of like a reverberator, but not really either one.

Features

Spectral By Nature

• The attack / decay systems for Fletcher are controlled with our signature Factor Bands system (similarly to Strum and Sweep), where each frequency section of the signal can have it’s own attack & decay, smoothly ramping through the spectrum.

Contrast and Uniformity

• The “Fitting” control can be used to have Fletcher automatically pick out non-uniform parts of the spectrum and automatically “level them out”. Additionally, this control can be turned into the negatives to have it act as a sort of “spectral contrast”, adding an additional layer of shaping prior to the attack / decay system.

Also, it’s Playable

• Fletcher also has a “Shimmer” control which can auto-detect the pitch of different sounds coming in, and add extra harmonics on top of the signal for extra shine. Additionally, this system can take in MIDI signals so that the harmonics can be “played” by an external MIDI input.
