Mac Plug-In Delivers Raindrop Delay

US Make a splash with Sinevibes Droplet and its chain of 24 randomized delay lines 27/04/18

Sinevibes has announced Droplet, which they describe as a Mac Audio Unit plugin for modeling “raindrop delay” effects. It is based on a chain of 24 randomized delay lines, specially configured to produce a sound similar to drops of rain or small particles falling onto a surface.

A spokesperson told us, "This delay chain features variable frequency damping, time modulation with original phase-flipped routing, as well as chaotic stereo panning, all of which lets Droplet go much beyond the actual raindrop delay – and into granular clouds, dreamy spaces and lush chorused reverbs. Since the parameters are randomized each time a Droplet instance is created, just as any natural process it will never sound exactly the same - even the same preset on two different tracks in the same project will sound different."

Droplet specifications:

   • Chain of feedback delay lines with 24 “drops” and high-quality spline interpolation.
   • Variable delay time and stereo pan randomization per drop.
   • Feedback damping filter with low-pass and high-pass modes.
   • Sine oscillator for delay time modulation with unique phase-flipped routing.
   • Color-coded user interface graphics with subtle animations.
   • Fully hardware-accelerated rendering with support for retina screen resolution.

Droplet compatibility:

• Works with any application that supports Audio Unit effect plugins.
• Supports OS X 10.6 or later running on 32 or 64 bit Intel Macs.

Pricing and Availability:
Droplet Audio Unit plugin is available for $29. It can also be purchased as part of highly discounted Complete Collection or Creative Collection bundles which are now on sale at an additional 20% off.
