The plugin can be used universally not only as a delay, but also as a:Įach of these possibilities above is a result of the direct usage of the various modules that we have at our disposal in the processing path. It can be used as an insert effect for an instrument or bus channel, or as a versatile send effect with the help of a parameter lock that allows for auditioning presets without having to readjust the wet/dry mix with each new selection. Sigmund can be effortlessly applied in nearly any configuration in the studio. In skilled hands, these features become powerful weapons. This, in combination with a novel system of padlocks for locking individual sets of parameters when changing presets, allows you to zero in on the desired effect with extreme efficiency.

A convenient preset browser allows for quick auditioning of the extensive, included factory preset library. Everything is presented as if on a silver (or brushed aluminum) platter, cleanly and clearly laid out and with instant access to each section and it's parameters. Sigmund's user interface has been designed from the ground up to be as intuitive as possible. With Sigmund, each delay line is absolutely alias free: the only sonic colorations you'll ever hear are the ones you've intentionally created. The signal processing solutions we chose to implement in Sigmund have allowed us to achieve an unprecedented level of audio quality! A signal being routed sequentially through each processing block suffers no loss in fidelity from one to the next and no undesirable artifacts are introduced as is so often the case with some of the more widely used but inferior solutions. For even greater convenience when working with Sigmund, the output signals of each of the four delay lines are combined in a special, purpose-built internal mixer to ensure seamless transition between algorithms and greatly speed workflows. The plugin offers a choice of nine different routing topologies which give access to completely new dimensions of sound creation. Sigmund's four delay lines can be interconnected with each other in practically every manner possible. There are three different modes a Modulator can operate in.

Multi-mode Filter (can work either in or outside of the feedback loop).With Sigmund, this is especially true: each of the delay lines has complementary modules built in, independent from the feedback loop: There's an ancient saying, often attributed to Aristotle: The whole is greater than the sum of its parts. Sigmund is far from just another delay: it consists of four discrete delay units, each with its own, independent set of parameters offering an incredible degree of sound-shaping freedom. Software: VST compatible host application (32bit or 64bit)ĬPU: Intel based 1.8 Ghz (2.Incredible degree of sound-shaping freedom Four independent delay lines Parameter mapping for VST / AU automationĬPU: 1.8 Ghz with SSE (Multicore system 2.1 Ghz recommended).Flexible Routing (9 possible topologies).High quality delay line alghorithm (no aliasing, no artifacts).Separately configured pre and delay times with optional Tempo sync.This all adds up to an immensely powerful architecture, the potential of which can be explored nearly endlessly and often with hardly predictable outcomes. At extreme settings, these LFOs are capable of twisting the input signal utterly beyond recognition and into what you might expect transmissions from an alien civilization to sound like! Used subtly, these LFOs can be used to delicately bring a sound to life, to add gently flowing, modulated warmth reminiscent of the analog delays of yesteryear.

Amplitude modulator (for tremolo effects)īut that’s not all: Sigmund has two general-purpose LFOs which can be used to auto-modulate some of the delay lines’ internal parameters.
