Unlock Sonic Possibilities with Perforator by Bram Bos
Perforator by Bram Bos is a powerful audio effect plugin that allows users to creatively manipulate sound through rhythmic gating and modular-like sequencing, ideal for music producers seeking to enhance their sonic textures.
Perforator is a rhythmic gating audio effect designed as an AUv3 Audio Unit plugin. This innovative tool offers a variety of features that allow users to creatively manipulate incoming audio, producing rhythmic patterns from sustained sounds.
With Perforator, users can finely adjust slice envelopes to achieve a range of effects, from classic staccato "trance gate" sounds to simulating pumping sidechain compression techniques. The plugin includes two gating mechanisms: an AMP EG gate, providing a traditional gating method, and a 12dB/Oct lowpass filter that swiftly eliminates high frequencies to effectively mute them.
- Works as an AUv3 Audio Effect in all hosts compatible with AU plugins.
- Automatically synchronizes with the tempo of your project.
- Allows independent editing of the Left and Right channels.
- Comes with a convenient built-in preset manager containing numerous factory presets.
- Exposes all AU Parameters for seamless host automation.
- Comprehensive user manual accessible on ruismaker.com.
- Universal compatibility: functions on iPad, iPhone, and iPod Touch devices.
Additionally, Perforator offers a valuable Bonus Feature: AU MIDI output. This feature enables the envelopes of both channels (L+R) to output their values as MIDI CC messages. This functionality allows users to replicate 'parameter lock' messages found in other plugins and applications. Please note that this feature requires iOS11+ and a host application that supports AU MIDI from effects.
