Plume

Plume is an FM synthesizer created for Ableton Live with Max for Live. It produces beautiful and evolving tones and textures but it can also produce strange, weird, and aggressive timbres, thanks to the Magic panel - a selection of artisanal mathematic algorithms that warp, chew and grind the beautiful tones into gnarly new dimensions. The Magic amount dial has a different effect depending on which Magic algorithm is selected. From bit-crushed effects, through soft clipping and bizarre modulations, this device has much to offer the producer in search of new sounds.

Features

• Magic panel for intense sound mangling
  • Seven artisanal algorithms take sounds from pure and beautiful to aggressive and unique
  • Amount knob functions differently depending on which algorithm is selected
