There has never been anything close to the selection of plug-ins assembled in pluggo. With its range of sound design possibilities, pluggo 3.1 is more than just a few effects-it's a real-time interactive audio processing, modulation, and synthesis environment that works right inside your favorite audio application. Effects categories include delays, filters, pitch effects, distortion, granulation, spectral effects, modulators, multi-channel effects, synthesizers, audio routing, reverb and dynamics, and visual display. It's easy to see why pluggo has been winning rave reviews from critics and users since its release.
Joining the original 74 plug-ins such as the legendary Feedback Network, Tapped Delay, and Swish are over 19 Essential Instruments–tasty and nourishing instrument plug-ins in a variety of flavors for your Audio Units, VST, or RTAS host application. These elegant and immediately effective instruments were created by eowave, the developers of the iSynth, and make full use of award-winning Max4/MSP2 audio programming environment for OS X. While space only allows us to tempt you with a few descriptions, you'll find something for every palate, from the characteristically midwestern self-effacement of the Pretty Good Synth, to additive synths, analog-modeling drum and percussion synths, theremins, sampling, granular synthesis, FM synthesis, wavetable synthesis, and some lovely waveshaping for that little sonic something extra. And you can seamlessly combine these exciting new instruments with pluggo effects plug-ins and modulator plug-ins for a world of sonic possibilities you'll never exhaust.
As you look over the tantalizing list of plug-ins below, you might wonder how all this shameless abundance is possible. The answer lies in the power of Cycling '74's Max/MSP audio processing system and its plug-in development tools. pluggo uses a run-time version of Max/MSP. Since all the plug-ins run within the same environment, they can work together behind the back of your sequencer. For example, the PluggoSync plug-in listens to an audio click track, then tells other plug-ins where the beat is. Then there's our PluggoBus system that lets plug-ins send up to eight channels of audio to each other, exploding the limitation of one or two outputs per plug-in in audio sequencers. pluggo also sports a set of Modulators--plug-ins that mess with the parameters of other plug-ins in cool and unusual ways.
Develop Your Own Plug-ins
pluggo isn't be limited to the warehouse full of plug-ins we're supplying today. If you want to tweak your own plug-ins, you might want to consider Max/MSP, which includes everything you need to develop your own plug-ins. And the new Pluggo Runtime Installer allows you to give your own plug-ins to everyone, regardless of whether they own pluggo or not.
System Requirements
pluggo requires a host audio application that supports the Audio Units, VST, or RTAS plug-in format. Mac OS PowerPC computer running system 10.2. G4 or G5 processor recommended. More details can be found on the download page.
The number of plug-ins that you can use simultaneously depends on the processor, its speed, and your available memory.
