NUCLEAR CRANIUM

NUCLEAR CRANIUM free multi-fx | overdrive | saturation | bit-crusher | crunch | panner | pitch-shifter by Jack Dark

NUCLEAR CRANIUM is a free multi fx and overdrive and saturation and bit crusher and crunch and panner and pitch shifter VST plugin developed by Jack Dark. Compatible OS(s): Windows.

NUCLEAR CRANIUM is a free Multi-Band Distortion/FSU device designed to aid in the construction of experimental music and sounds.

NUCLEAR CRANIUM works by splitting the incoming source material using a Comb Filter into four frequency layers; Hi, Mid, Low, and Else. Then each frequency layer has its own proprietary FX units with which one alters or corrupts said frequency. Each frequency layer is then recombined into one unified new sound result. All frequency layers have PITCHSHIFTING, BITCRUSHING, WAVESHAPING, “CRUNCH”, BITCRUSH, “PSYCHODELAY”, and AUTOPAN FX units individually. As well as independent Wet/Dry settings and Volume/Amplification sliders as well. Each frequency layer can be turned ON or OFF to save CPU consumption. Nearly every single NUCLEAR CRANIUM parameter has its own individual internal completely reconfigurable LFO. NUCLEAR CRANIUM’s GUI is 100% verbosely tool-tipped for ease of learning.
