KorgStator

Stator is a tape wobble simulator plugin for KORG prologue, Minilogue xd and NTS-1.

It uses a creative approach to replicate the effects of speed fluctuations in tape machines, namely wow and flutter due to uneven electric motor rotation, as well as scrape flutter caused by the friction of the tape against the tape head.

The algorithm also models gentle phasing artefacts produced by crosstalk between the stereo channels. The processed sound has a beautiful stereo vibe and can go from gentle chorusing and colouration all the way to dramatic lo-fi pitch wobble.

Features

• Studio-grade DSP algorithms, calibrated specifically for KORG’s hardware platform.
• Individually chosen mapping for every plugin parameter, providing a very natural feel.
• Built-in lag filters for noise-free, ultra-smooth parameter adjustment.
• Optimized for maximum performance and stability on each individual device type.

KorgEternal

Eternal is a barber-pole flanger. Unlike a traditional flanger which has its tone repeatedly go up and down, a barber-pole flanger goes upwards or downwards in a seemingly endless fashion. To accomplish this unique effect, Eternal employs a thoroughly calibrated low-frequency oscillator with six output signals which modulate and crossfade three flangers – and they do this in a very special way. Since these oscillators have a “through-zero phase” design, Eternal can go from downwards to upwards motion and back completely seamlessly.

Features

• Studio-grade DSP algorithms, calibrated specifically for KORG’s hardware platform
• Individually chosen mapping for every plugin parameter, providing a very natural feel
• Built-in lag filters for noise-free, ultra-smooth parameter adjustment
• Optimized for maximum performance and stability on each individual device type

KorgAlbedo

Albedo is a granular cloud reverb plugin for KORG prologue, minilogue xd and NTS-1. It continuously records audio into a buffer, and at the same time plays up to 16 separate grains from it – with each grain having its own randomized size and position within the buffer. Together with feedback and additional psychoacoustic stereo widening, this creates a lush “cloud of sound” reverb effect. It is also possible to stop overwriting the buffer and thus “freeze” this cloud, allowing to overlay another sound as the granular cloud keeps playing indefinitely.

Features

• Studio-grade DSP algorithms, calibrated specifically for Korg’s hardware platform.
• Individually chosen mapping on each parameter providing a very natural feel.
• Built-in lag filters for noise-free, ultra-smooth parameter adjustment.

KorgBlend

Blend is a multi-voice chorus. It’s comprised of three fully independent chorus layers, each modulated by its own parabolically-shaped oscillator. Due to relative modulation phase offsets between the three oscillators, this algorithm creates lush unison and ensemble effects with great density and natural smoothness. Thanks to its wide parameter range, it is also capable of producing highly dissonant sounds.

Features

• Studio-grade DSP algorithms, calibrated specifically for KORG’s hardware platform.
• Individually chosen mapping for every plugin parameter, providing a very natural feel.
• Built-in lag filters for noise-free, ultra-smooth parameter adjustment.
• Optimized for maximum performance and stability on each individual device type.

KorgDCM8

DCM8 (pronounced as “decimate”) is a sample rate and bit depth reducer. It changes the input signal’s digital resolution in both time and amplitude domains, degrading its quality. This results in the typical digital distortion – frequency aliasing and quantization noise, reminiscent of vintage sampling machines. The algorithm also includes an input noise gate to eliminate static analogue noise amplification.

Features

• Studio-grade DSP algorithms, calibrated specifically for Korg’s hardware platform.
• Individually chosen mapping on each parameter providing a very natural feel.
• Built-in lag filters for noise-free, ultra-smooth parameter adjustment.

KorgDispersion

Dispersion is a bouncing ball delay. It runs up to 10 delay taps sequentially, with their times spread according to a unique non-linear formula. This produces a series of sound repetitions much like bounces of a ball that has been dropped onto a surface.

Each round of bounces is calculated to fit within a particular tempo fraction, making this a rhythmically precise and musically rich effect. The algorithm comes in two versions: with natural time spread (+), as well as inverted spread (-).

Features

• Studio-grade DSP algorithms, calibrated specifically for KORG’s hardware platform.
• Individually chosen mapping for every plugin parameter, providing a very natural feel.
• Built-in lag filters for noise-free, ultra-smooth parameter adjustment.
• Optimized for maximum performance and stability on each individual device type.

KorgDrift

Drift is a physically modeled stereo panner. It is based on the Lorenz oscillator, a three-dimensional chaos system widely used to model the flow of liquids and gases. Two of its correlated, never-repeating outputs are applied onto pan and level, giving the sound’s stereo field a natural movement similar to wind gusts or boiling water.

Features

• Studio-grade DSP algorithms, calibrated specifically for Korg’s hardware platform.
• Individually chosen mapping on each parameter providing a very natural feel.
• Built-in lag filters for noise-free, ultra-smooth parameter adjustment.

KorgDroplet

Droplet is a raindrop delay. It features up to 10 delay lines connected in series via a proportional feedback system, with each delay’s time randomized in order to recreate a naturally chaotic sound – similar to water drops falling onto a surface.

Due to its extremely wide parameter range, Droplet not only produces its trademark “raindrop delay” effect – but can also go from early reflections to dense, full-bodied reverbs with enormously long tail duration.

This algorithm’s built-in modulation oscillator also adds a beautiful dimension and unison detune to the sound, thanks to its unique routing with alternating polarity.

KorgDipole

Dipole is a through-zero flanger plugin for KORG prologue, minilogue xd and NTS-1. It combines two delay lines, with one able to run earlier or later in time relatively to the other, plus a switching feedback signal routing. Right around the zero time difference between the delays, this algorithm produces a “jet fly-by” effect with positive feedback – or full sound cancellation with negative feedback. Originally, through-zero flanging was achieved using a pair of tape machines, by playing two copies of the same recording and then manually controlling the difference in tape speed and position. Here, an LFO with a sine waveform is used to periodically sweep the effect’s time difference parameter.

Features

• Studio-grade DSP algorithms, calibrated specifically for KORG’s hardware platform.
• Individually chosen mapping for every plugin parameter, providing a very natural feel.
• Built-in lag filters for noise-free, ultra-smooth parameter adjustment.
• Optimized for maximum performance and stability on each individual device type.

KorgFinite

Finite is a granular pitch shifter. It uses real-time buffer recording and dual variable playback heads to speed the incoming audio up or slow it down, changing its pitch. This algorithm features high-quality spline interpolation for ultra-smooth pitch adjustment within the range of two octaves. Its built-in feedback line also applies the pitch shift recursively – enabling creation of truly ethereal, spacey sounds.

Features

• Studio-grade DSP algorithms, calibrated specifically for KORG’s hardware platform.
• Individually chosen mapping for every plugin parameter, providing a very natural feel.
• Built-in lag filters for noise-free, ultra-smooth parameter adjustment.

KorgRerun

Rerun is a self-randomizing audio repeater. It continuously records a small sample of incoming audio, repeats it a number of times, and starts over. Each time this sampling-repetition process restarts, the sample size and the number of repeats are randomized. The effect runs independently between left and right channels.

Features

• Studio-grade DSP algorithms, calibrated specifically for Korg’s hardware platform.
• Individually chosen mapping on each parameter providing a very natural feel.
• Built-in lag filters for noise-free, ultra-smooth parameter adjustment.

Additionally, there is an envelope follower which can modulate the oscillator frequency with the input signal’s amplitude. This algorithm is also built with 2x oversampling to reduce aliasing, for a cleaner high-frequency response.

Features

• Studio-grade DSP algorithms, calibrated specifically for Korg’s hardware platform.
• Individually chosen mapping on each parameter providing a very natural feel.
• Built-in lag filters for noise-free, ultra-smooth parameter adjustment.

Shift is a Bode frequency shifter plugin for KORG prologue, minilogue xd and NTS-1. It is modelled after the analogue frequency shifter circuit that was originally developed in the 1960s by the German engineer Harald Bode. This algorithm shifts each frequency partial in the input by an equal amount up or down in the spectrum, thus changing the original frequency ratios between the partials – and making the output sound more and more atonal, non-pitched.

Features

• Studio-grade DSP algorithms, calibrated specifically for Korg’s hardware platform.
• Individually chosen mapping on each parameter providing a very natural feel.
• Built-in lag filters for noise-free, ultra-smooth parameter adjustment.

Features

• Studio-grade DSP algorithms, calibrated specifically for Korg’s hardware platform.
• Individually chosen mapping on each parameter providing a very natural feel.
• Built-in lag filters for noise-free, ultra-smooth parameter adjustment.

Learn more about KorgSVF.

KorgTime

Time is an ultra wide range delay/looper. It features a maximum time nearly 10× longer than the factory delay plugin – 6 seconds – enabling an extremely wide variety of effects, from clean echo to sound-on-sound looping and tape-style pitch slides. Thanks to high-quality spline interpolation, time adjustment is free of artifacts, and at 100% feedback the audio will endlessly repeat itself with no high-frequency fade.

Features

• Studio-grade DSP algorithms, calibrated specifically for Korg’s hardware platform.
• Individually chosen mapping on each parameter providing a very natural feel.
• Built-in lag filters for noise-free, ultra-smooth parameter adjustment.

KorgWhirl

Whirl is a barber-pole phaser plugin for KORG prologue, minilogue xd and NTS-1. It is based on the Bode frequency shifter algorithm configured with a positive feedback loop, which allows it to produce an audible illusion of endlessly morphing resonant spectrum sweeps. These sweeps are going “upwards” with negative phaser frequencies, or “downwards” with positive frequencies, and it’s possible to seamlessly transition between these states.

Features

• Studio-grade DSP algorithms, calibrated specifically for Korg’s hardware platform.
• Individually chosen mapping on each parameter providing a very natural feel.
• Built-in lag filters for noise-free, ultra-smooth parameter adjustment.

Vibrant is a deep phaser plugin for KORG prologue, minilogue xd and NTS-1. It’s based on a classic analog-inspired design which connects six two-pole all-pass filters in series and has a global feedback loop. This setup produces three deep notches in the incoming signal’s spectrum, with strong yet smooth resonant peaks around them – possessing a distinct vocal-like character at higher feedback values. The plugin’s built-in triangle LFO sweeps the center frequency within the musical range of 800 to 3200 Hz, exactly two octaves.

Features

• Studio-grade DSP algorithms, calibrated specifically for KORG’s hardware platform.
• Individually chosen mapping for every plugin parameter, providing a very natural feel.
• Built-in lag filters for noise-free, ultra-smooth parameter adjustment.

Isomer is an ensemble delay plugin for KORG prologue, minilogue xd and NTS-1. It has two main stereo delays offering tempo-synchronized time adjustment and near-infinite feedback. Their outputs are sent into four additional delays (two per channel) with their own individual feedback lines and with their times being modulated by four separate LFO signals. Thanks to the mutual phase offsets between these LFOs, and subtle feedback, the delay tail gets a smooth and highly musical detuning effect similar to chorus ensemble. Due to the opposing modulation between the left and right channels, Isomer also adds an extra dimension within the stereo field.

Features

• Studio-grade DSP algorithms, calibrated specifically for KORG’s hardware platform.
• Individually chosen mapping for every plugin parameter, providing a very natural feel.
• Built-in lag filters for noise-free, ultra-smooth parameter adjustment.
• Optimized for maximum performance and stability on each individual device type.
