Metallurgy by Ugo Audio: A Laboratory of Sonic Metamorphoses
The Metallurgy plugin by Ugo Audio is a powerful multi-effect designed for radical sound processing. It allows you to transform the original audio signal beyond recognition, offering a wide range of possibilities – from subtle filter corrections to complex, rich soundscapes. If you are engaged in sound design or experimental music, Metallurgy will open up new horizons for your creativity.
Key Modules and Functions
Metallurgy combines several modules that work together to create unique sound textures:
Metal Effect
- Creates metallic sounds, flanger, note sequences.
- 16-step pitch sequencer (5 octaves, portamento, length).
- MIDI input for real-time control.
- Its own LFO.
This effect can function almost like a separate synthesizer!
Flexible Filters
- Three parallel filters: Low Pass, Band Pass, High Pass.
- Each filter has its own LFO (cutoff frequency, panning).
- 16-step sequencer (modulation intensity, glide, length).
- Independent volume and panning controls.
Downsampler and Distortion (“Filth”)
Two Filth modules (before and after filters) contain:
- Downsampler.
- Distortion (3 modes).
- LFO for Downsampler modulation (8 modes).
Gate and Panning Sequencer
- 16 steps.
- Gate, panning, or both control.
- Gate length control.
- Mix control.
Dual Delay
- Two independent delay modules.
- Time adjustment.
- Stereo width adjustment.
Envelope Follower
- Modulation of filter cutoff frequencies.
- Metal effect modulation.
- Input volume modulation.
- Effect mix modulation.
- Intensity, attack, decay control.
Other Features
- Parameter randomization.
- MIDI CC support.
- Synchronization with the host tempo or internal clock.
- Mono signal.
- 512 presets.
Metallurgy by Ugo Audio is a tool for bold sonic experiments. Its versatility and flexibility make it a valuable addition to any production setup focused on creating extraordinary sound.
