Build a massive modular sound design system with Snapin plug-ins
On their own, Kilohearts plug-ins are formidable production and mixing tools. But when integrated using Kilohearts Snapin hosts — Snap Heap, Multipass, and Phase Plant — they evolve into a powerhouse modular sound design system. As the name implies, Kilohearts Snapin plug-ins literally “snap” into the Snapin hosts, allowing you to build massive processing chains and offering numerous ways to modulate parameters, stack effects in series or parallel, and creatively manipulate chains via automation and MIDI — all in a streamlined environment. Snap Heap arms you with four independent effects lanes, assignable envelope generators and LFOs, and the ability to control numerous parameters simultaneously with user-defined macros. Multipass ups the ante on the Snap Heap formula by including a frequency band splitter, which enables you to apply dedicated effects to individual frequency bands. For instance, you can completely transform a stock synth pad by saturating the low end and collapsing it to mono for more focus and heft, while adding a subtle chorus to the midrange frequencies and bathing the high frequencies in a pitch-shifting delay. Finally, Phase Plant combines Snapin plug-in functionality with an award-winning semi-modular soft synth to create a virtual instrument with unparalleled flexibility. With more than 30 Snapin plug-ins available, you’re free to assemble limitless combinations of effects that will color your productions with totally unique sounds!
Note: Kilohearts’ Snap Heap is available for free. Multipass and Phase Plant are sold separately.
