Sinevibes Droplet

Granular clouds, dreamy spaces, and lush, chorused reverbs.

What it is: 
24 randomized delay lines designed to model 'raindrop delay' effects. 

How we use it: 
Add the ethereal sound of rain and randomized delay to a track. 

Why it's cool: 
Like all Sinevibes products, an intuitive interface and idiosyncratic sound is sure to make this one of your favorite delays. Droplet is a plugin for modeling “raindrop delay” effects. It is based on a chain of 24 randomized delay lines, specially configured to produce a sound similar to drops of rain or small particles falling onto a surface. This delay chain features variable frequency damping, time modulation with original phase-flipped routing, as well as chaotic stereo panning, all of which lets Droplet go much beyond the actual raindrop delay – and into granular clouds, dreamy spaces and lush chorused reverbs. Since the parameters are randomized each time a Droplet instance is created, just as any natural process it will never sound exactly the same - even the same preset on two different tracks in the same project will sound different.

Sound engine

• Chain of feedback delay lines with 24 “drops” and high-quality spline interpolation.

• Feedback damping filter with low-pass and high-pass modes.
  
• Sine oscillator for delay time modulation with unique phase-flipped routing.
  

Graphic interface

• Color-coded graphics with subtle animations.
  
• Fully hardware-accelerated rendering with support for retina screen resolution.
  

Compatibility

• Works with any application that supports Audio Unit effect plugins.
  
• Supports OS X 10.6 or later running on 32 or 64 bit Intel Macs.
