Free, Do-Everything Stereo FX/Modulation Plug-in for Mac
by Peter Kirn
It slices, it dices! It runs in GarageBand! (and every other AudioUnit host on the Mac) How much would you pay for an effect that has a stereo delay, random pattern generator, envelope follower, “glitchy” decimator, ring modulator, low and high shelf filters, lowpass filter, and a randomizer for parameters? That’s not one, not two, not four, but five modulation types. Would you pay $50, $100, $15,000 for this plug-in? What would you say to the price of free?
Erm, sorry, not sure what came over me there. But anyway, Polyfractus is a new freeware AU plug-in for the Mac, available exclusively at MacMusic. At this price, or lack thereof, it looks like quite a worthy addition to your arsenal. I like the randomization — a bit like an Executive Decision Maker for audio processing, which might be just what I need today.
