Klevgrand

Create shaker patterns as played by a human being

Skaka is a sample-based sequencer plugin for shaker percussion instruments. It has 12 slots, each with its own instrument, parameters (lots of them!), and pattern. Klevgrand has built both the sequencer and the sampler from the ground, to optimize this instrument for these types of sounds. Each pattern contains events, with individual parameters like pitch, velocity (as in how fast the instrument is shaken), and envelope.

With full control over shuffle/swing amount, an advanced humanizer function, internal awareness of in- and out shakes (yes, they sound different), using grids divided into triplets/quintuplets/septuplets, timing fine-tuning and variable sequence lengths, Skaka can get very close to how a human percussionist would sound in almost any tempo without any use of degrading time stretching or similar techniques.

To top it off, there’s a nice reverb, a room simulator, and a high-shelf filter. Skaka comes with nearly 200 ready-made patterns covering most genres and styles.

• 1. Slot machine – 12 slots, each with its own instrument, parameters (lots!) and pattern.
• 2. Mr Tambourine man – Choose between 18 carefully sampled shaker instruments.
• 3. Pre-baked shakes – Choose between different presets, both global and per-slot.
• 4. A double room, please – A high quality reverb combined with a room simulator. No one will think that you didn’t hold the shaker yourself.

• 1. Hit the mode, Jack – Set each event’s velocity, duration, pitch, and gain independently.
• 2. On or off the grid – Choose between many different grids, and decide whether your events should snap to them or not. Independent per-pattern setting of the loop’s length.
• 3. Chill amount – The whole pattern can be delayed or early for different feels.
• 4. Human behavior – Adds some micro-changes (customizable) to make the loop sound just like anything between a robot and you.
• 5. Sneak in, sneak out – The loop may “sneak” in or out, just as it would in the real world.

Features

• 12 parallel slots, each with individual settings for instrument and pattern
• 18 different shaker instruments (Egg, Shaker, Tambourine, Caxixi, Single Shot, Ghungroos, Calabash & Seeds + much more)

Suit up your mix with this elegant compressor/saturator/enhancer/enchanter

LUXE is an effect plugin that compresses and saturates an audio signal in a quite subtle but musical way. It is very useful for making a track “fit in the mix”, and can be used with very good results on a drum bus, a vocal track, or anything in between.

LUXE is very easy to use – simply choose between the LUXE or FINESSE algorithms, and set the desired processing level. Don’t be fooled by the modest control possibilities – under the hood is a very sophisticated set of parameters that will treat your incoming audio with great care, musicality, and warmth.

The slider sets the amount of the effect. Under the hood, this parameter controls a set of internal (non-visible) parameters which makes LUXE an easy tool to use for quick results. The OUT knob sets the output volume and ranges from silence to +6 dB.

The alternate FINESSE algorithm offers a slightly different frequency response, and also adds some edge to the internal saturation module.

• 1. Good mood / God mode – Choose between the LUXE or FINESSE algorithm. Both are very nice.
• 2. Watch it squeeze – Indicator that shows the amount of LUXE treatment that is given to your audio signal.
• 3. More or less – How much goodness do you need?
• 4. Tune in, trim out – Output level. Not Input level. Not Putin level.

Features

• Super-simple interface that lets you focus on more important stuff than knobs
• Two carefully developed algorithms that cover a wide array of uses
• Output for controlling the signal
• Low CPU footprint

Wake up your low end

Knorr is a plugin that adds intensity and edge to a monophonic low-frequency audio source (like a bass). The algorithm adds overtones to an existing sound in a way that isn’t possible with ordinary distortion or filtering.

The Knorr Algorithm 

The underlying algorithm uses a combination of filtering, amplitude- and frequency modulation to process incoming audio. Knorr is developed with bass sounds in mind but can be used on any monophonic sound source as long as there is audio content available in the low mids (and below).

• 1. Bragging about dragging – The handling of Knorr is almost painfully simple, simply drag the control along the X/Y-pad, and find your tone.
• 2. WYSIWYH – (What You See Is What You Hear) – a visual representation of how the algorithm works.
• 3. How hard can it be? – Three different intensity levels of the algorithm.

Features

• Unique algorithm that adds overtones to the original sound in a way that can’t be done using other bass-shaping methods
• Three different intensity levels for the algorithm
• X/Y-pad for finding your tone in no time
• Good for all monophonic instruments within the bass – low mid range

A pad synthesizer with soul

Pads is a thriving and organic pad synthesizer. It consists of a wavetable synth with a noise/grain generator and a high cut filter. With a carefully developed ”wobbler” that detunes the waveforms and makes very small inconsistencies to several internal parameters and a nice sounding chorus, this synthesizer is able to create some really interesting and non-statical pad sounds.

• 1. Wave selector – Select two waveforms, and morph between them by dragging the slider.
• 2. Wobble – Adds some analog character with de-tune/filter inaccuracy.
• 3. Grain / Noise – Drag horizontally to add white noise and upwards to add some more irrational noise/grain.
• 4. Filter / Envelope / Chorus – Various toys in the toolbox for shaping the sound further.

Features

• Filter, Attack, and Volume can be modulated by velocity
• Controllable grit/grain level, sampled from a real Hammond organ with a broken tone wheel
• Controllable wobble factor that adds analogue unpredictability
• 30 handcrafted presets created by professional musicians

A compressor beyond the ordinary

Richter is a tectonic compressor, designed to achieve heavy compression with a minimal amount of artifacts. It is the result of many years of experimenting in the Klevgrand labs. Normally a heavily compressed audio signal gets distorted, often with a nasty “zipper noise” artifact because of how the internal envelope followers are engineered. The experiments led to a brand new approach resulting in a compressor that empowers you to squeeze every bit of sonic perfection out of your tracks. Use it for meaty mixes, punchy drums or smooth, transparent vocal tracks.

Due to how the algorithm is designed, there are a few unconventional controls to tame Richter. First of all: one single parameter controls how much compression will get applied. The other (important) parameter controls how the internal envelope follower will react to transients vs continuous/lasting sounds. These two parameters make Richter a highly intuitive compressor where the user quickly will be able to dial in the wanted sound. On top of that there’s a boost switch that literally makes the amount span go to eleven. And, as the name suggests, earthquake levels are possible.

Features

• Superheavy compression with minimal unwanted artifacts
• Intuitive Transients and Amount dials
• Real time graph visualization
• Tonal control
• Three-step boost switch
• Input trim control
• Makeup gain, Dry/Wet mix and Output control

Instantly fun drumming with carefully sampled drums

Slammer is a multi-sampled drum plug-in that contains 30 different instruments made from a large number of carefully recorded and edited samples. Integrated custom-built real-time effects combined with some clever routing makes Slammer a versatile and flexible virtual instrument that is capable of rendering anything from natural acoustic to heavily distorted and compressed drum sounds.

Each sound can be customized with a wide array of settings like pitch, filtering, effect sends, decay time, velocity mapping, and much more.

There’s also a “Dirt” section for distortion and compression, a reverb, and tone control. The amount of “dirt” and reverb can be tweaked individually for each instrument. On top of all, Slammer comes with a set of factory presets, covering anything from light and slick to heavy and gritty.

If you’re looking for a drum instrument, giving you ‘instant gratification’ from the first hit, this is it.

Main View

• 1. A dozen of noises – There are 12 sound slots, each with selectable sounds + lots of individual settings

Brushed Percussion 

Borsta is a new innovative percussion instrument specially designed for strokes and brushes. Its unique audio engine allows for an endless number of truly natural-sounding brushing phrases and rhythms. What sets Borsta apart from similar instruments is that its audio engine supports continuous changes in intensity. This makes it possible to create very life-like brushing phrases and patterns, something that can’t be achieved with traditional sample-based instruments.

The parallel envelope and events sequencers allow you to determine exactly when to start a stroke, how the stroke’s pressure/speed should evolve over time and when to end it. On top of that, all instruments also offers multi-sampled one-shots with advanced choking capabilities. Each instrument is based on more than 400 high-quality samples, recorded for playing with different velocities and round robins.

Borsta emulates a single drum instrument at a time, but comes with 18 different instruments to choose between. The sequences are played one at a time, however switching between sequences can be done seamlessly via MIDI, and additional one-shot samples can be triggered using an ordinary MIDI track.

The instruments are all structured and MIDI-mapped in a uniform way, which makes it possible to use the same sequence on any instrument. For instance, a traditional swing pattern will sound musically correct no matter whether you choose a Frame Drum, Tambourine or Snare Drum – it will just sound like the musician changed instruments. Borsta is a Swedish verb, meaning ”to brush”.

Features 

• 18 high-quality instruments with 6 multi-sampled one shots each 
• 230 pre-made factory sequences 
• 60 Global presets covering different sounds and genres

A smart reverb, designed to fit in any mix

Kleverb is a high-quality algorithmic reverb effect. An intuitive UI combined with a carefully calibrated network of filters and delays makes this a powerful effect useful in any context; all from acoustic Jazz to EDM.

Usage

With three different room size setups (small, medium, large), selectable filter on both early and late reflections, modulation, damping, diffusion, and much more, almost any kind of room can be simulated.

There is also a ducker included that uses the dry signal as a side-chain. Very useful to keep vocals or other solo instruments distinct even when they’re soaking wet. The 64 factory presets covers most of the Kleverb features.

• 1. Decay? OK! – Up to 25 seconds should give you enough time to figure out what your next pad chord should be.
• 2. Damp, diffuse, spread. – Shape your space with intuitive and clever controls for both small and big changes.
• 3. Too much guck? Duck! – Often used, seldom built in the reverb itself. A trick to clarify a reverb-drenched lead vocal or instrument. It lowers the reverb while the dry signal is active, and raises it in the pauses. Everybody gets happy!
• 4. Modulation salvation – Modulate the reverb to give it a little more life.

Features

• Room size selection
• Filters with selectable type on both early and late reflections
• Wet signal modulation
• Damping filter

Compression has never been this easy

If you work with audio, you will eventually need a good compressor in your toolbox. Korvpressor is an adaptive compressor/limiter, designed for all purposes in audio treatment. It has a super-simple UI with a unique approach on how to tame and visualize a compressor, now also with some added controls to make it even more versatile.

The basic controls are still minimalistic – set the input gain, level of compression, and output gain. The compression algorithm was designed with transparency in mind, and Korvpressor will sound great on almost any kind of sound; all from a vocal track to a full-blown mix. If you push it even harder, it gives a nice squeezing effect.

xxxx

• 1. Input level – Drag up to increase the input signal level.
• 2. Squeeze – This is the main control of Korvpressor. Imagine that you’re pinching the sound waves, so the more squeeze you want, the further down you should go with this handle.
• 3. Output – Make-up gain after the squeezing.
• 4. Post EQ – A musical and versatile EQ to fine-tune your finished sausages.
• 5. Flip the switches – Added controls for the compression behaviour.

Features

A singing wavetable and granulating synth with lots of expression

Pipa is a singing vocal synth with a unique and different sound. It is inspired by the expression and flexibility of the human voice but does not aim to cover all the aspects of an actual voice. Instead, it focuses on an organic and musical sound where the user has the possibility to control formants and dynamics seamlessly.

The synth engine is a crossover between a wavetable- and a granulating synthesizer, which results in a very expressive and playable instrument. Instead of using ordinary samples or processing oscillators with formant filters, Pipa uses a large database of thousands of wavetables extracted from real vocal samples. The advantage of the technique being used is that it’s possible to seamlessly morph between wavetables with proper phase alignment. This enables Pipa to continuously make transitions between pitch, formants, and dynamics, which is very useful in a musical context.

• 1. Curve your enthusiasm – A lot of Pipa’s expression possibilities lies in the refined controls over Gain, Pitch, Dynamics, and Vowel.
• 2. Swing Low, sweet LFO – A powerful LFO section accompanies every Envelope.
• 3. Power cords – Fine-tune the characteristics of the vocal instrument.
• 4. Cheerio Stereo! – Widen your voice if you want, in several different ways.
• 5. A double room, please – Room ambiance + Reverb gives plenty of quick options.

Features

• Unique crossover between a wavetable- and a granulating synthesizer
• Continuous morphing between formants, dynamics, and pitch
• Features both male and female voices
• Separate envelopes (with linked release time) and LFOs for formant, dynamics, gain, and pitch
• Two MIDI Assignable controllers (Ctrl1 and Ctrl2) for controlling formants, dynamics, pitch, and gain
• Legato mode with control over both pitch glide time and velocity glide time
• Voice spatialization
• Plenty of factory presets
• Room simulation + Reverb algorithm

Bring any mono signal to life with this stereo enhancer.

The upgraded Haaze v2 from Klevgrand is an elegant solution for controlling stereo width and spatially positioning a sound in a stereo mix. Regular L-R panning is a weak tool that doesn’t resemble real-world acoustics, which becomes clear when trying to place a mono sound naturally in a stereo mix (especially on headphones).

The result still feels very “mono”. Haaze is an audio plugin that makes the positioning feel more natural, understandable, and pleasant for the ears. It splits the audio signal into 16 frequency bands. On each band, you can delay the left or right signal (which will make the listener believe the sound arrives from the side that’s reaching the ear first), pan it to the left or right, or adjust the overall width on that band (for example, make the lower frequencies more focused in the middle than the higher). Haaze can also diffuse a mono signal and make it wider.

If this sounds complicated, Haaze comes with many presets that will help you to get started. It sounds good both in headphones and loudspeakers, and it has great mono compatibility.

• 1. I Can Haaze? Control the delay between Left and Right on each band.
• 2. Pan(ic) button. This mode can pan each band separately between Left and Right.
• 3. In your widest dream. This mode sets how wide you want each band to be.
• 4. Gainz. Only if you need to compensate the gain after processing each band.
• 5. Happy Birthday Mr Presetident. Lots of presets that will help you to get started.

Features

• 16 independent frequency bands
• Haas: Control the delay between L/R on each band
• Pan (Split EQ): Pan each band L/R
• M/S: Control the width on each band
• Gain: Compensate the gain level on each band
• Draw mode, for easy plotting out the adjustment curve that you want
• Lots of presets for helping you to get started
• Stereo width meter + Level meter on each band

Destroy any mix in bits and pieces

Degrader is a combined resampler and bit crusher plugin. It can be used to simulate the sound of vintage digital gear, as a lofi-effect or distortion unit.

Since all parameters are fully automatable it’s a handy plugin for creating unique and interesting drops, sweeps and other transitions.

• 1. Filter bubble – Choose low pass filter character before and after resampling (off, low-q, high-q). Frequency is fixed to half the sample rate value.
• 2. Resampler – Control the amount of jitter, plus any sample rate between 250 Hz and 96kHz.
• 3. Crush them bits – Go as low as 3 bits of low resolution, and if that isn’t enough – saturate until unrecognizable.
• 4. Master them bits – Use Input/Output to trim the gain levels, set the blend with the unprocessed signal, and A/B-test the effect with the Power button.

Features

• Resamples between 250 Hz and 96 kHz
• Low pass filter with different characteristics both pre and post resampling
• Bit depth can continuously be altered between 3 and 24 bits
• Additional distortion algorithm
• Parameter linking (control several parameters with one knob)
• Input and output gain control
• Dry / Wet mix
• Several factory presets simulating different vintage gear

• Three-step boost switch
• Input trim control
• Makeup gain, Dry/Wet mix and Output control

Room Simulator – Plenty good room for everyone

Rum simulates different kinds of rooms – from acoustically treated studio booths to spaces found in an ordinary home. Think of this plug-in as if the audio source was recorded in stereo from the other side of the room, a common technique for recording acoustic instruments in order to breathe life into a dry sound source.

In addition to the ten multi-recorded rooms (with different mic settings and characters that can be cross combined) there’s an advanced stereo spread and modulation unit for even more tweakability.

This plug-in also comes with low cut and high cut filters, pre-delay (with tempo sync), a full set of factory presets, and a built-in ducker making it easy to tame transients on the wet signal.

• 1. Make an entrance – Input gain + filter.
• 2. Go to your go-to room – Choose between 10 carefully sampled small rooms.
• 3. Make it yours – Choose mic setting + different characters of the room.
• 4. Move away from the walls – Simulate how far from the walls your sound source is by setting a pre-delay.
• 5. Need a duck? – Taming the transients in a more natural way.
• 6. Spread with butter – Modulation & stereo-spreader to set the final width.

Features

• 10 different rooms with 6 variants each
• 3 different types of stereo spread algorithms
• Modulation control
• Ducker (compression) for the wet signal
• Pre-delay with tempo synchronization
• Low cut and high cut filters
• Plenty of factory presets

Ridiculously slick and playable

STARK is a fully-fledged amplifier simulator consisting of four modules: Amplifier, Cabinet, Room, and Pedalboard. The modules are processing audio separately, which makes it possible to combine different amplifiers with different cabinets and rooms.

What separates STARK from other amp simulators is that the cab, amp, and ambiance modules are built on Klevgrand’s very own algorithms that don’t involve any convolution or FFT analysis. This approach renders a more natural response to dynamics over the whole frequency spectrum, plus the ability to fine-tune each profile in ways that just isn’t possible when using convolving methods.

• 1. Very amportant – The Amplifier module offers 12 different amplifier profiles. It has both a clean mode and an overdrive mode, an equalizer functionality (including presence), and a booster controlling the end-stage amplification saturation.
• 2. Take a cab – The Cabinet simulation consists of 10 different cabinets of various sizes and sounds. This module also offers a stereo-width knob that simulates the distance between two microphones put in front of the cone.
• 3. Plenty of rooms – The Room simulation offers six different kinds of rooms, where each room size can be changed between Small, Medium, and Large. There’s also a decay parameter controlling the reflectivity of the walls and a dry/wet mix.
• 4. Step on it – The Pedalboard contains four FX slots where any of the 14 included effects can be inserted. The order of the pedals can easily be changed using drag and drop.

Features

• 12 amps with both clean and overdrive channel
• 10 cabinets of various sizes and sound
• FX Board with four slots (14 effects available)
• Six room types with configuration options
• Plenty of factory presets covering most genres and styles
• Ultra low latency

An advanced de-esser with an intuitive user interface

Esspresso is a fast, beautiful & powerful de-esser for everyone doing audio recording. De-essers have previously been aimed towards highly professional audio producers that need full control over the sibilance (high-frequency noises) in their mix.

These noises can bring trouble to your overall sound – for example, if you want a ”crisp” tone to the voice and add the EQ, the S’s will eventually distort and make it hard to balance the mix.

The uniqueness of Esspresso is that the detection frequency range isn’t coupled with the suppressor’s frequency range. That means you can listen to a specific frequency and compress another one, which is often what you’ll want from a professional de-esser. With a fast and accurate frequency response view, you will easily get full control over annoying S-sounds that otherwise can ruin the mix.

Features

• Visual reduction RMS
• Visual detector RMS
• Detector sensitivity gain
• Solo switch for the detector signal
• Suppressor has three filter modes (all, band & high)
• Intuitive and unique user interface

Analog gear simulation with a unique & efficient spectral saturation algorithm

REAMP is a complex spectral saturation processor, simulating a set of different analog gear in a new and unique way. The benefits of this algorithm are that it is highly CPU efficient and adds (almost) no latency.

The seven models available are based on real analog gear, individually measured in two dimensions; gain responses (-inf dB to +6 dB) at the frequency spectrum 20Hz to 20kHz. This data is used to transform input audio to output audio.

A four-band spectral drive allows you to let the unit work even more.

Features

• Seven handpicked profiles based on gear Klevgrand love
• Spectral drive (four bands)
• Dry / Wet mix
• Plenty of factory presets
• Ultra low latency

• 1. Three crossover frequencies – Frequencies will be synchronised among all instances of the plugin that belongs to the selected group. Hold down option key while dragging for finetuning.
• 2. Four frequency bands – Click to toggle a specific band on/off.
• 3. Eight different groups – Frequencies will only sync within the selected group

Features

• Linkwitz-Riley cross over filter algorithm
• Frequency parameters are synchronised globally between instances
• Supports up to 8 different groups

Bring your sound back to the golden age of cassette tapes (minus the tangle)

DAW Cassette brings back the magic era of the 1980s by emulating the sound of a tape deck. Saturation, distortion, noise, wobble, it’s all there. While there’s no real rational logic to it, the sound color gives us chills down the spines, (or it might be the mullet haircut that tickles). Fresh.

Choose your preferred level of cassetteness with the different controls for input/output gain, tape/motor/head quality, and tape/noise type. Now, look in the mirror and get stunned by your new mullet haircut.

Anatomy

• 1. Quality – Use these controls to set the desired quality of the Tape (magnetic band saturation), Head (frequency response), and Motor (speed consistency).
• 2. Emul80ies – Different types of cassette tape, as well as Noise reduction emulation.
• 3. Trim the sound, not the mullet – Input, Output, Mix. Serve chilled.

Flip It

• 1. Let it bleed – Adjust the amount of channel crosstalk.
• 2. Bring on the noise – Fine level noise adjustment for every noise taste.

• Additional input gain, output gain, and dry/wet mix parameters

A powerful tool designed for quickly finalizing complete mixes, stems, buses, and/or individual audio tracks

Grand Finale is a multi-effect plug-in designed for finalizing complete mixes, stems, buses, and/or individual audio tracks. The plug-in offers several modules in a pre-routed configuration. Each module has parameters to alter, and most modules offer a set of algorithms to select. These features come together to make Grand Finale a powerful tool for quickly finalizing a track, bus, or mix.

Trim the input signal, add your desired amount of compression, multi-band compression, stereo width, EQ, blend in some add compression and/or distortion, and glue it all together by balancing the input and output trim. Use the meters to monitor and adjust your output level to whatever destination (for example, YouTube recommends -14 LUFS).

• 1. Master section – This module contains a high-pass filter, input and output gain knobs, a limiter, and some metering. The red and green lines reflect how audio is routed to and from this box.
• 2. Metering – The meters give you information about the levels of the output signal, reading LUFS to the left and RMS to the right. LUFS can be useful if you want to finalize your audio to fit online services like YouTube or Spotify
• 3. Add signal path – After the Output gain, the signal is split and also sent to the add signal path. Here, you may add additional Dist and Compressor and then mix together with the main signal path, before the output gain.
• 4. Main signal path – All the modules in this box are processed in serial from left to right: Compressor, Multi-band Compressor, Stereo width effect, EQ.

Features

• High-quality effects, trimmed for high-precision audio finalizing
• LUFS and RMS output metering
