Puremagnetik Twine v1.0.3 WiN MacOSX

Twine is a versatile, low fidelity, lossy, multi-effects mixer. Packed with six separate effect algorithms, Twine will warp and bend your incoming audio signal into all sorts of aural dissections. Each effect has a Mood control that alters the fundamental algorithm while a Chance control affects the probability that the algorithm will come through the mix. This creates constantly evolving, mutable, effects chains that will modify your sound in pleasantly unpredictable ways.

Puremagnetik Parallax v1.0.2 / v1.0.1 WiN MacOSX

Parallax | Frequency Orbiting Station Parallax is a unique effect that is part vocoder and part echo/reverb matrix. It can create subtle, modulating filter effects that swell and transform through beautiful, algorithmic spaces. At its heart is a 10-band filterbank that can be shifted in real time to bring out resonances, shift tonal balance and animate specific frequencies. The output of the filter stage is processed by a simple yet effective delay line and algorithmic blurring. With these two chains of processors sounds can be completely resculpted, transformed and reconfigured in frequency and spatial balance.
