The same engine, but on your FX chain. Big dog.
HEAR IT
BownBampler FX is a multi-band creative degradation tool based on BownBampler. Instead of taking MIDI input, BownBampler FX lives on your bus, letting you powerfully decimate any sound you want.
As with BownBampler, you have 4 completely independent frequency bands, each with its own degradation chain, playback mode, and filtering chain. Decimate your bass while preserving the high-end, mix the distorted mids with the dry signal, and use the residual matrix to layer the product of each voice onto your cacophonous sound.
Almost every downsampler discards a lot of audio by nature, but big dogs recycle. The residual matrix allows you to retrieve the discarded audio and mix it back into your sound, making BownBampler FX the most sustainable downsampler on the market. Take any two signals and perform one of 8 mathematical operations on them (ie., subtract the wet signal of Voice 1 from the mixed signal from Voice 2), and then operate on the resulting signal. Each residual can be individually mixed into your sound, allowing you to use them as subtly or as obnoxiously as you want.
The possibilities are already endless, but if you ever run out of ideas, the randomization die is there to help. Parameters you want to keep intact can be locked, and the rest are randomized with the click of a button.
WHAT IT DOES
Multiband Processing
The degradation engine from BownBampler, split across four independent frequency bands. As with BownBampler, each band has its own degradation suite, filters, and utility controls.
Per-band pitch and granular
Each band gets its own semitone shift and grain length, preserving audio duration while letting you control the timbre of the pitch shift.
DC Offset and Dry Offset
Like BownBampler, FX lets you adjust the timing and amplitude of the signal at different stages in processing to create asymmetric distortion and width, or crush transients more intensely than the rest of the signal.
Independent wet and dry filters
Every band has a highpass and lowpass that can be routed to the wet path, the dry path, or both — so you can degrade a band and then hide the damage exactly where you want it.
Residual Matrix
As with BownBampler, perform any one of the 8 unique mathematical operations on any 2 signals up to 6 times. Multiply voice 1 wet * voice 2 dry, and divide that signal by itself!
Roll and lock
The same die. Lock the bands you've dialled in, randomize the rest.
