Feedback VST Plugins

Blue Cat’s AcouFiend is an acoustic feedback simulator plug-in that can make your guitars scream, growl, or sing, even at low volume or through headphones, and it gives you total control over it!

AcouFiend simulates the acoustic feedback (a.k.a “Larsen effect”) well known to guitarists playing loud and close to their speaker… Except that here, you have total control over the effect.

You can choose when and how to trigger the feedback, on sustained notes or chords.

The plug-in lets you select the main harmonic of the feedback, and you can even choose to transpose it for more creative effects.

Of course, it can be entirely automated or controlled via MIDI.

And since it is a plug-in, it is not just for guitars: create screaming synths, sustained vocal harmonies and more…

MAIN FEATURES:

• Acoustic feedback simulator
• Total control over the feedback: adjust the rise and fall time, the sensitivity to pitch and amplitude changes, and the generated harmonic
• Supports chords
• Limit the range of notes that can produce feedback
• Transpose the feedback signal to create harmonies
• No latency

BLUE CATS AUDIO STANDARDS:

• Available in most plug-in formats for Mac and Windows.
• Full MIDI control and automation support, MIDI Learn.
• No CPU load on idle: processing shuts down when fed with silence (optimal the CPU usage).
• Customizable user interface with transparency & zoom.
• Smooth Bypass: noiseless plug-in activation / deactivation.
• Undo/Redo. Full featured integrated presets manager.
• Copy/paste the state of the plug-in between instances.
• Any sample rate supported.

SPECTRAL FREEZE, RING MOD, FEEDBACK

Frostbite is a spectral freezing plugin combined with a Ring Modulator and a Feedback module. With the three freezing modes (spectral, reverb, convolution), you can transform any sound into ambient textures, soundscapes, or just frozen reverbs. Frostbite can also be used for extreme sonic experiments by entirely mangling any source with extreme modulations.

The Signal Flow is flexible, you can rearrange the modules with a simple drag-and-drop, and selects between the two modes: serial and parallel. With the internal LFO you can modulate most of the parameters on each module, creating evolving eerie soundscapes.

THREE FREEZE MODES

The Freeze module has three freeze modes that you can choose:

• Spectral, uses FFT to store several analysis windows in memory and replay them randomizing their phases.
• Reverb, a classic reverb algorithm with multiple comb and all-pass filters that can have an infinite decay.
• Convolution, multiplies the input signal with a randomly generated noise impulse, up to 60 seconds

DRAG AND DROP

Frostbite 2 can be used in serial or parallel mode. When used in serial mode, you can rearrange the modules with a simple drag-and-drop to change the signal flow.
