Metallurgy

Massive Multi-Effect

Awarded a perfect 10 out of 10 score in Computer Music Magazine!



Metallurgy is a multi-effect that is capable of providing sounds ranging from some basic, subtle filter tweaks to twisted, complex walls of sound that bear virtually no resemblance to the original audio.

Metallurgy offers 3 filters with multiple modulation options, 2 very digital distortions, 2 downsamplers, dual delay, an envelope follower, a gate sequencer, and a Metal effect that, in addition to flanging and metallic effects, also provides the ability to produce pitched sequences. You can even play the pitches via MIDI input, nearly turning Metallurgy into an synth in its own right.

Metallurgy was designed with drums, bass, and synths in mind, but it works well with a wide variety of input material and is useful for many styles of music. I always encourage experimentation with all my VST's but it's especially so with this one since, by virtue of being an effect, you can run anything you want through it. So just feed it lots of different stuff, see what it spits out, and have fun!
