Description

  

MonsterBag is a collection of weird and unconventional VST effect plugins.

AlliGater is a powerful gating plugin
that introduces some new and unheard
features to influence your sound way
beyond "Off-On". Especially the powerful
MIDI implementation allows many
interesting possibilities!

It offers a wide range of bpm tempo
synchronisation options and you can
not only gate the volume, but may also
route the gate envelope to panning
and cutoff or resonance of an internal
filter!

Morphone is a plugin that "morphs"
between 2 states. A state is defined by
current volume, panorama position, filter
cutoff and resonance values.

It allows long morph times, an additional
fat mode for the filter, stereo mode
and features 6 different filter types,
5 LFO shapes, a wide range of
sync-to-host options and much more.

RevDelay is a funky little delay plugin
that allows you to reverse the signal
before or after (or both) the delay
process. This means you can hear the
delay before the actual signal, resulting
in strange effects.

Since extremely short delay times of
only some few samples are possible,
you can easily turn this into some sort
of metallic reverberator for high feedback
times as well.
A modulator with various waveforms and
min/max depth settings is also included.

Shocker is a simple yet effective little
stereo filter plugin, with two LFOs for
cutoff and resonance, adjustable filter
phase and drive (distortion unit). And
the 2 LFOs can be synced to the tempo
of the host as well.

RoboBear X is a unique granular sonic
decomposer that let's you manipulate the
incoming audio data stream in realtime.
You can create some really unusual sounds
with it, ranging from stuttering vocoders to
high-pitched space-echo effects.

Create sounds that are way beyond
recognition of the original source just by
moving a few sliders!

It features:
- different filter types
- filter routing
- phase inverter
- mono or stereo mode
- LFO with depth, rate and destination



 
(both skins included)

CandyBox looks like candy, but does it
sound sweet as candy? Definitely not!
This is a strange beast for sound mangling,
morphing and modulating!
Got nasty neighbours? Mice in the house?
No problem with CandyBox!
Are your tracks missing that certain amount
(ie. LOTS) of dirt n' distortion?
Go for CandyBox!

WARNING: CandyBox is a mixture between
ultra short delay and hardcore distortion
that can sound really harsh! Everyone who
is afraid of those nasty microphone feedback
sounds in concerts, don't try this plugin!
Although an internal saturator is included,
this does not save you from some really evil
and cruel sounds!

Features:
- "different" sounding distortion/effect unit
- patch randomizer
- 2 LFOs with any parameter destination
- 5 different filter types
- 2 skins (CandyBox and NoCandy!)
- fully MIDI-controllable
- 100 presets included!

Whoah, endless hours of fun in a world of
sonic chaos and disorder!

 

SilverBox is a very strange effect plugin to
create unsual sounds take can hardly be
described. A SilverBox user said this effect is
"perfectly suited for underwater-space-rock"

There is also the additional option to convert
the amplitude of the incoming audio stream
into MIDI CCs, which you might find useful.


 

ShivaShifter is a pitch shifting plugin with
MIDI control and included effects. It can turn
any boring sounding loops into some quite
strange soundscapes.

An additional LFO is also on-board, of course
syncable to the host tempo.

WackoFilter is a really powerful filter unit
with modulation controls and a wicked effect
box.

Features:
- stereo multimode filter with cutoff/resonance
- several different filter algorithms available
- adjustable filter steepness (12 dB/24 dB)
- cool effect unit with delay, distortion,
  pitch shift, ...
- controls for dry/wet and output volume
- adjustable filter-effect routing
- output can be mono or stereo
- 2 independent LFOs with different
  waveforms
- destination can be almost any other
  parameter, LFO1 can also modulate LFO2 !
- each LFO can be synchronized to the
  host tempo
 

 

DelayDevil is a delay/filter plugin that
creates strange forward and backward
delays with feedback.

Of course two (tempo-syncable) LFOs and a
filter unit with several filter types are also
included, allowing very weird sound effects
and modulations to be created!

 

RedRack splits the input into up to 16
individual channels which can then be
processed: volume, panning, cutoff,
resonance, delay, feedback, modulation
target and depth can be set for each
channel separately.

Add a morph slider to fade between two
global settings and two LFOs and you get
a really strange plugin.

Note: a multichannel version with 8 outputs
is also included - you need a flexible VST host
to use this!

 

Wobbler is a simple but nevertheless funny
plugin, with only one slider! It is a mixture
between a scratcher and a tape-stop sound
and you can alter your audio stream in
realtime to make some funky noises and
scratches with this!

 

BrushBox is another strange plugin that
alters your sound in a way that is hard to
describe. Think of a mixture between a
ring-modulator and a pitchshifter, although
the algorithm for this plugin contains
neither of them.
