23DSP just released two new plugins, THABLE and BDSM. These new tools help musicians play with granular synthesis and dynamic modulation. Both plugins let you mess around with sound in different ways, building on earlier work with sample-based synthesis.
THABLE takes what made THALOOP cool but swaps out the loop player for two granular engines. You can load up any samples you want and run them through separate granular layers. One layer sits inside the reverb to create flowing textures and the other works in the sample player for more exact grain control. THABLE costs just 10€.
BDSM stands for Basic Dynamic Sample Modulator. It works by having one sample control another sample. The first sample changes the volume of the second sample, which then runs through a granular system. This creates dynamic textures based on how loud the first sample plays. BDSM also includes an arpeggiator, changes to gain and pitch, filters, a phaser, and delay effects. It costs only 5€.
These plugins give music makers new ways to twist and shape sounds. The prices make them affordable for almost any budget. Both tools offer unique approaches to sound design. Anyone interested in experimental music production might want to check them out.
