Thanks to its intuitive interface and flexible capabilities, Flux Mini 2 will quickly become one of your favorite tools for sound design and rhythmic processing.
What is Flux Mini 2?
Flux Mini 2 is a versatile audio effect that combines the functions of a modulator and a filter. Its main idea is to use a fully customizable curve (graph) to dynamically control various sound parameters. Forget about monotonous effects – with Flux Mini 2, each of your sounds can get a unique, pulsating, or whimsically changing form.
Key features and functions
At the heart of Flux Mini 2 is its graphic editor, where you draw the modulation shape. This shape is then applied to the selected parameters. Here’s what you can control:
- Filter Cutoff: Create wah-wah effects, sweeps, or rhythmic changes in sound brightness.
- Filter Resonance: Add characteristic peaks and “vocalness” to the filter, synchronized with your rhythm.
- Amplitude: Perfect for creating sidechain compression effects or other rhythmic volume pulsations.
- Mix: Modulate the ratio of processed and unprocessed signal to create “wet” mixing effects that change over time.
For each of these parameters, there is a separate “depth” slider that allows you to precisely adjust the intensity of the modulation application. This gives you full control over how strongly the graph affects each aspect of the sound.
Flexibility and additional benefits
Caelum Audio developers have made sure that Flux Mini 2 is as versatile and easy to use as possible:
- Customizable graph: You can draw any shapes – from simple sine waves to complex, broken curves. Added the ability to shape curves using 2 control points for smoother or more unique transitions.
- Tempo synchronization: The graph can be synchronized with both the tempo of your host application (DAW) and work in free milliseconds. This gives freedom for both rhythmic effects and asynchronous modulations.
- MIDI CC output: A unique function that allows you to use the Flux Mini 2 graph shape to control other parameters in your project via MIDI Control Change messages. This opens up endless possibilities for complex automation and interaction between plugins.
- 20 presets: Get started quickly thanks to a set of ready-made settings that demonstrate the different capabilities of the plugin – from light modulations to extreme experiments.
- Wide range of applications: From creating classic sidechain effects on a kick drum to maniacal, fast modulations on synth parts or guitar riffs – Flux Mini 2 can handle any task. It will help to revive pads, add pulsations to leads, make basses more “pumping”, or create completely new, unheard-of textures.
