Memory by White Noise Audio: Instant Remixing of Your Sound
The Memory plugin by White Noise Audio is a unique effect that adds elements of live remixing and spontaneity to your tracks. It is ideal for dynamic processing of rhythmic structures, loops, and other audio material directly during playback. Memory offers an intuitive approach to sampling and sound transformation in real time, opening up new possibilities for creative experiments in your DAW.
What is Memory and How Does It Work?
Memory is designed for sampling and remixing audio “on the fly.” Its main function is to capture short fragments of the input signal and play them in a loop. You can instantly define and change the duration of this loop, creating effects from rapid repeats to longer phrases.
- Instant Looping: The plugin constantly analyzes the input signal, ready to create a loop at your command.
- Dynamic Loop Length Change: The loop duration can be changed in real time, achieving a variety of rhythmic effects.
- Built-in Filter: Each loop can be processed with a filter, controlled simultaneously with the loop length, allowing you to shape its timbre.
Usage and Integration
Memory works best as an inline effect on the track you want to process, or on a Send-bus with a 100% “wet” signal. Simply insert the plugin into the effects chain and start playing audio.
Intuitive Control and Automation
The key control element is the interactive “pad.” Moving the cursor on the pad, you simultaneously control the loop length and the filter cutoff frequency.
- Pad Control: Intuitive interaction with the effect using movements on the pad.
- Motion Recording (Automation): All actions on the pad are recorded as automation parameters in your DAW, allowing you to play dynamic effect parts.
- MIDI Triggering: The plugin can be launched and controlled via MIDI notes (approximately from C2/C3), where each note corresponds to a different loop length, allowing you to synchronize the effect with the musical material or program it.
Creative Possibilities
Memory is a powerful tool for experiments:
- Creating stutter effects and glitches on drums.
- Transforming static sounds into rhythmic patterns.
- Shaping textures by looping and filtering.
- An ideal tool for jamming and live performances.
Its simplicity and flexibility make the process of creating unique sounds captivating.
Conclusion
Memory by White Noise Audio is an excellent choice for musicians and sound designers who want to add dynamics and live performance elements to their tracks. The combination of instant looping, intuitive control, and automation/MIDI support makes it a valuable tool for creative production. Available in VST format for Windows operating system (Win32).
