Kinda niche... but what it does is so lovely it makes you want to inhabit that niche full time. There's something about the "found on a reel of tape buried beneath a creepy abandoned hospital" effect, or the "beaming in from 1973 on a Soviet Russian military frequency" effect that instantly turns any audio signal into a piece of beautiful atmospheric sound art. So for anyone interested in low-fi analog type drones or William Basinski style end-of-the-world sound mangling, there's nothing like it. Seriously, I've spent years making this kind of music using elaborate FX chains and crazy CV modding, and Wires makes it so easy I kinda want to give up
Yeah. Totally. About 20 minutes after I posted this I tried it. Then I thought nah…don’t need it so uninstalled it again. Then I started doing some stuff with Reels which is an absolutely magic plugin. Was enjoying myself so much I reinstalled Wires and tried it on a piano. Long and short of it is that I now have it . Love it .dvdrtldg wrote: ↑26 Jul 2021Kinda niche... but what it does is so lovely it makes you want to inhabit that niche full time.

For more everyday purposes, it's a great saturator. Just driving the input with everything else set to zero sounds fantastic. There's a certain kind of soft, blankety distortion that I've been looking for in a plugin since forever, and this one really brings it
It's got some nice features, and it's a cool one-of-a-kind delay unit as well. I love it
