The Delta Sound Labs Alpha Bundle includes two amazing audio plugins: Stream and Fold. Stream is a granular sampler audio effects plugin perfect for sound design, intricate delays, and live performances. It offers a clean sound, setting it apart from typical spectral or frequency granulators. It's great for layering and widening your audio source. With very low latency, it's ideal for live use. Key features of Stream are tempo sync, low latency, auto record mode, capture & overdub, time stretching/scrubbing, up to 16 granular voices, monophonic and polyphonic MIDI modes, sample drag - and - drop, optimized sample interpolation, and dedicated dry and wet knobs. Fold takes a unique approach to creating warmth and distortion in software. Using a series of modules in an FX chain, it adds harmonically rich overtones to input signals and can transform them with a unique form of distortion. Features of Fold include hard and soft clip distortion morphing, wavefolding, bit crushing, analog low and high pass filter emulations, four syncable LFOs with mappable phase reset buttons, three LFO waveform types, mono and stereo processing, and configurable oversampling.
Using the Delta Sound Labs Alpha Bundle is easy. For Stream, start by dragging and dropping your .WAV, .AIFF, or MP3 samples into the plugin. You can then use the tempo sync feature to match the grains with your host's tempo. The auto record mode is handy - just toggle the record button to set the buffer size. For live performances, the low latency ensures smooth operation. When using the MIDI modes, choose monophonic for creating pedal points or polyphonic for a regular VSTi experience. Adjust the dry and wet knobs to balance the audio signals. With Fold, you can experiment with different distortion and filtering options. Start with mild settings to add warmth and overtones, and gradually increase the intensity for a more extreme transformation. Use the LFOs to add movement to your sound. When it comes to maintenance, make sure your software is up - to - date. Keep your samples organized and backed up. And always check for any new updates from Delta Sound Labs to access the latest features and improvements. Note that while the plugins are powerful, avoid over - using extreme settings as it may lead to unwanted audio artifacts.
