The full version of this Mac AU effects plugin worth $29 is yours to download,
Ukranian developers Sinevibes are well respected throughout the plugin community thanks to their extensive range of colourful, creative Mac AU devices. One example is Cluster 2, a wickedly creative filterbox that’s usually sold for $29 but is yours for free with this issue of .
Cluster 2 can be described as a sequencer-driven rhythmic filter effect. At its heart is a looping step sequencer that stays perfectly in sync with your host’s tempo. The input signal, visualised in the red Input section, is sent into four parallel filters, each of which feeds into its own gate. By drawing in custom patterns over Cluster 2’s various colour-coded sequencer lanes, it’s possible to switch between four filter types on a per-step basis, create complex filter frequency patterns, and apply cutoff envelope modulation shapes. Global filter and envelope settings are on hand, and you can also set up eight custom ‘Snapshot’ configurations. Cluster 2’s uses are many: build rhythmic grooves, spice up FX, add movement to pads, carve up synths and creatively transform any audio signal.
If you enjoy Cluster 2’s sequenced filtering, make sure you check out Sinevibes’ other pro-quality Mac AU plugins. Standout examples include Fraction, a rhythmic slicer that’s optimised for creating rolls, fills, stutters and edits; Sequential, a sequencer-driven multieffect that houses 19 effects modules; and Array, a ‘spectral sequencer’ built for complex effects and morphing tones.
Alternatively, take a look at Sinevibes’ Complete Collection bundle, which contains all of their 21 instrument and effects plugins at a bargain $299; and the new Dynamic Collection bundle, which contains seven awesome effects for only $99 – which works out at half price compared to buying the seven plugins individually. Finally, readers can bag themselves a cool 20% off all Sinevibes plugins and bundles (valid until the end of 2016) using the code SINE-KP2W-CMCM. www.sinevib.es
