Hinder

Accurate BBD modeling with sound tweaking freedom

Hinder has been built following the BBD principle of operation. However it exposes several of the design parameters to the user, but also adding new ones such as L/R channel delay time decoupling, width and reverse delay, so that creative realms could be explored. 

Overall tone for brighter or darker sound

We try to cover as much ground as possible. You can change the overall tone of the plugin by setting the bright / dark parameter.

Separate or Linked Delay Times for Left and Right Channel

Delay times can be set up separately for Left and Right channel so that interesting / polyrhythmic patterns can be created

Stereo Width

Width control for wider delay effects.

Feedback LP / HP analog modeled filters

Hinder features analog modeled resonant Lowpass and Highpass filters in its feedback path, that can further shape your tone

Feedback Compression module with Amount and Speed controls

Hinder features a compressor module in its feedback path that in combination with feedback and heat can create sounds that vary from punchy repeats to overdriven noisy drones.

Overdrive via the HEAT parameter

Heat adjustment that reflects to the resampling, and feedback filters, can significantly tune Hinder towards a cleaner or overdriven sound character

Chorus and Flanger effects

Hinder features delay modulation, turning it to a chorus or flanger effect, with all the creative directions that can be achieved with the aforementioned modules and tweaking parameters.

Bit Depth and Quantisation artifact mix control

Hinder features controls for input signal quantization and quantization artifact mix, that is a standard BBD element. But by exposing it to the user it can be creatively employed in combination with heat and feedback compression for noisy droney delay soundscapes.

Synced to host or free running

Hinder can be set up to sync to the host. Moving from sync to free will recall the previous parameter values.

Preset System

HINDER comes with many built in presets that cover a fair ground of standard delay use for Guitars, Vocals, Drums and everything in between. But many of them also point towards a sound design point of view, them being droney, noisy or glitchy.
