Two interesting plugins from Puremagnetik - Shoal and Sage

[Sergio]

Shoal | Tracking Modifier

Shoal is an envelope follower and pitch tracking amplitude modulator that can create everything from mellow vibratos to chaotic lo-fi effects. It was inspired by the dark textural world of Vondisy — a new collaborative project between Puremagnetik artists Micah Frank and Kodomo.

Shoal follows your input, shaping an envelope that flows with your sound, adjusted by the STRIDE control. It harmonizes with an oscillator that tracks your pitch, creating rich AM modulation. The DIGITS control then bit-crushes the signal, adding arrays of folded overtones. Shoal invites you to explore its dynamic range, offering everything from shimmering harmonics to raw, minimal tones.

Sage | Spectral Delay

Sage is a cutting-edge spectral processor, drawing inspiration from the iconic but discontinued Native Instruments Spektral Delay plugin. It offers unparalleled capabilities in crafting shimmering rhythmic patterns and manipulating subtle harmonic overtones. By dissecting and modulating audio across the frequency spectrum, Sage can reveal hidden layers of sound, introducing rich textures and evolving sonic landscapes that were previously unnoticed. 

You get Shoal by buying the album VONDISY 1 by the artist Vondisy at Bandcamp (name your price, minimum $1) and Sage is on sale for $15 until oct-5-2024 .

The topic title makes me think of Morrissey.
