Spectron by Curbi

Alien Textures, Ethereal Soundscapes

Step into a world where your delays are transformed into something truly extraordinary. Spectron, crafted in collaboration with electronic music sensation Curbi, takes delay effects to an entirely new level by turning individual frequencies into their own playground. Whether you're after futuristic, alien-like textures or lush, atmospheric soundscapes, Spectron offers endless creative possibilities to explore.

From smooth transitions to spine-tingling risers, Spectron is the perfect tool for producers who want to push their sonic boundaries and craft complex, evolving audio textures. This isn’t just about creating echoes—this is about bending time and sound to fit your musical vision.

Beyond the Ordinary Delay

Forget what you know about traditional delay plugins. Spectron harnesses the power of spectral diffusion, allowing each frequency to have its own delayed path, resulting in intricate and mesmerizing layers of sound. Imagine your audio smeared across time and space, creating effects that range from ethereal and shimmering to deep and menacing. It’s the ultimate tool for producers looking to add depth, dimension, and a futuristic twist to their tracks.

With hand-crafted presets by Curbi himself, you can dive into his signature sound design or use them as a starting point for your own experimentation. Whether you’re producing electronic music, scoring a film, or designing sound for video games, Spectron delivers the kind of versatility and control that pushes your creativity to new heights.

Perfect for Music, Ideal for Sound Design

Spectron is a powerhouse for music producers, but it’s also a dream come true for sound designers. Its unique spectral delay approach allows you to sculpt detailed, evolving soundscapes that other plugins simply can't achieve. Whether you're looking to create lush atmospheres for ambient tracks or add intricate sound design elements to your latest production, Spectron transforms everyday sounds into otherworldly auditory experiences.

Whether you want to craft shimmering transitions, otherworldly risers, or diffuse your sound into a rich, evolving reverb, Spectron opens doors to new sonic dimensions, making it perfect for a wide range of musical and cinematic applications.

Effortless Creativity, Stunning Design

Spectron not only sounds amazing, but it also looks the part with its interactive, resizable graphical interface. Built for flexibility and designed to keep your workflow smooth, the UI allows you to focus on what matters most—your sound. The interface is visually engaging and helps you see exactly how your sounds are being affected in real time, allowing you to make adjustments with precision.

Need to compare different settings? With the A/B option, you can easily switch between two different configurations and find the perfect one. Plus, the copy function, undo, and redo buttons ensure that you can explore creative paths freely without worrying about losing your original settings.

Global Control, Infinite Creativity

• DRY/WET: Balance your original signal with the effected signal for the perfect mix.
• FEEDBACK: Control the number of delay repeats and explore mind-bending echo chambers.
• TIME & TYPE: Choose your delay time and sync options for complete rhythmic control.
• SPREAD: Add width to your sound by spectrally separating delays across left and right channels.

Spectral Shifts & Diffusion Magic

Spectron goes beyond standard delay processing with the SHIFT control, letting you explore spectral pitch shifting, frequency shifting, formant manipulation, and more. The effect grows with each repeat, amplifying your creative intent. Meanwhile, the DIFFUSE control lets you spread your sound across time, giving you rich reverb-like effects. Choose from SHIMMER for an octave-up sparkle, DOOM for an octave-down plunge, or push your sound into metallic or chorus-infused realms with METAL and LUSH.

Endless Possibilities for Producers

Need to create rising tension before a drop? Spectron has you covered with its seamless transitions and spectral effects that can rise or fall in intensity. Want to blur the lines between delay and reverb? The spectral diffusion capabilities let you transform your delays into rich, evolving reverberations that float across the stereo field.

And for those times when you want to take things to the next level, Spectron includes a suite of finely tuned presets straight from Curbi, offering a gateway into his sound design methods. From subtle tonal shifts to full-blown sonic transformations, the presets offer a creative starting point for any project.
