Introducing Mangleverb by Audio Damage – a multifaceted plug-in: a resonant filter (VCF), a voltage-controlled amplifier (VCA), and an algorithmic reverb. Enhanced by powerful modulators – a tempo-synchronized LFO and a flexible Envelope Follower – this tool transforms signals into unique textures and dynamic effects that respond to sound or tempo.
Versatility and Integration
Mangleverb goes beyond standard effects by integrating a VCF/VCA and a reverb into a single signal chain. This creates complex interactions between space, dynamics, and rhythm.
It functions as a filter, a reverb, a transient shaper, a rhythmic gate, a tempo-synchronized VCA, or a combination of these. It’s a “Swiss Army knife” for sound design, useful in creative soundscaping and precise processing in mixing.
Key Features
- Reverb: Updated Deverb algorithm. Pre/post filter/VCA. For “gated reverb” and dynamic spatial effects.
- Resonant Filter with Drive: Audio Damage’s analog filter model (LPF, BPF, HPF) with Drive. Dynamic filtering through Envelope Follower or tempo-synchronized LFO sweeps.
- Tempo-Synchronized LFO: Synchronizes with tempo. Waveshaper for flexible curve shaping. Create rhythmic effects (stutter) or smooth parameter changes.
- Flexible Envelope Follower: Responds to dynamics (internal, Sidechain), LFO, or MIDI. For effects that follow the signal, such as “ducking” (VCA with sidechain) or dynamic filtering.
- Modulated VCA and Feedback: Output level control. The VCA can be modulated for rhythmic volume patterns. Feedback adds sustain and resonances.
Compatibility
Audio Damage Mangleverb supports VST and AU formats and is compatible with Windows (32/64-bit) and macOS.
Mangleverb is a tool for experimentation and unique sound. Its flexibility is valuable for anyone seeking to expand their creative possibilities.
