Thanks for posting Challism!
Here's a few sound examples:




As you can hear it's pretty neat for introducing random fluctuations with a tape like quality (you can also set the modulation to regular for a more traditional chorus effect (lower mix to ~50%). And with the pitch shifting delay and big sounding reverb it makes it easy to create ambient pads huge soundscapes, or just add a dreamy atmosphere :)

I was so happy to have the 8 step sequencer (nearly) working that I wanted to share an early teaser. It's still a looong way to go thou... 🙂

Looks very interesting already. Looking forward to seeing what this develops into :thumbup:

Sounds fantastic. Really into this one. But if I'm honest the visuals don't really do it for me.. when I first saw it I thought it was a Combinator 2 patch. Definitely have to give this one a trial though!

Loving this. I tried putting Arturia Microfreak through it. ANOMA really adds some niceness to it :thumbup:

This is a fabulous effect Ekss, great work!

One request for next update, would it be possible to add detents to the Pitch knob in the Delay section? Either that or round the knob increments to the nearest 10 or 20 cents rather than 1 cent? I'm getting some fabulous stepped pitch shifting effects with the delay but it's pretty hard to dial in an exact pitch (e.g. +7 semis) even when holding down shift and moving the knob for fine tuning.

I can add a switch for stepped settings of the knob:)

Fantastic, thanks! That little pitch knob works wonders, it’s a big part of the magic I think.

This might go against a core feature/idea of the device (and I understand this isn't a beta, and the feature list is set.), but I'd like a switch to turn on or off the saturation of the Lowpass gate. I was using it last night on a more mellow track and kinda wanted the effect it was producing, but without an extra grit from the saturation.

Thanks for the suggestion, I'll definitely consider it for the update.
As a way around it you could lower the volume on the instrument going into Anoma (saturation is achieved by pushing signal through a wave shaper, if it's low enough it will make minimal distortion) to compensate for the the low volume, and still open the LPG you can raise the base freq with the small trimmer. Let me know if you think it does the trick!

Oh yeah, finally got around to actually playing with this... wow! Goosebumps! I had Complex-1 as the signal source, tweaking the ANOMA a bit I was able to generate this really fantastic COIL'ish sound, warm, but at the same time menacing... oh yeah, will be buying this one. The sound quality is amazing, what you put in is magically transformed into quite something else. Just my kind of kit, great for all flavors of moody/dark industrial, etc.

Cool plugin, Is this algorithmic based or does it use convolution technology? Thanks.
