What it does

Part reverb, part noise and drone machine, part degrader. Five reverberation boxes are set by one size control with a ratio that spreads the rest, plus a tail, a weight skew and internal feedback for swelling decays. Around them sit a resonant filter with low, band and high pass, a radio module that folds electromagnetic noise in as the antenna angle drifts, fluctuations to break up metallic tails, octave shifters up and down with their own buffer grain, and four orbiting modulators assignable to any knob, including each other.

In the demo

Jade runs it in AUM on a bare drone with every other effect stripped off, so each section is audible on its own, then on a Hammerhead kit spread over eight tracks and on several prepared drone projects. She records the results into Neon and shows the parameters exposed for host automation.

Worth knowing

It has to be launched standalone once before the AUv3 loads, which is easy to walk past. The whole design points at drone, noise and degradation, so anyone after a clean room sound is in the wrong app.
