Product Description
Fracture is a FREE Buffer Effect Geared Towards Creating Robotic Artifacts and Musical Malfunctions
Fracture is a versatile effects processor geared toward electronic musicians and sound designers. This plugin was designed to add glitchy articulations and abstract textures to your projects. Use it on anything from drums and percussion to synth lines and sound effects. Fracture’s intuitive interface and diverse features make it simple to give your projects a unique technical edge.
Our free downloads feature exclusive releases developed with the same uncompromising production values as our paid products. These critically acclaimed free plugins and packs have been featured on countless ‘best-of’ lists and are favourites among electronic musicians and sound designers.
Fracture features a buffer effect, a multimode filter, three LFOs and a delay. At the header of Fracture’s interface, you will find a drop-down menu that allows you to reconfigure the order of the effects in the chain. This is particularly useful since the order of the effects will significantly influence the final result of your patch.
If you’re running low on inspiration, the randomize function will set all the parameters to random values, which can quickly yield interesting creative results. Assign Fracture’s knobs and sliders to your favourite MIDI devices to gain real-time control, allowing you to perform complex passages of parameter modification.
