<\/figure>\n\n\n\nThe Orb is a formant filter that simulates the human voice. At the heart of the plugin is an orb that displays different vowel sounds, which can each be customized individually. The right-hand LFOs modulate the dot in the center of the orb, which dictates the balance between the vowel filters. Check out 0:19 of the video to hear The Orb in action.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/figure>\n\n\n\nNuxx is a step sequencer-powered multi-FX processor. It has over 30 effect types (distortion, delay, reverb, flange, etc.) that can have their parameters rhythmically mapped across a sequencer. There are a ton of great presets that span everything from the staples \u2014 the reverbs sound amazing \u2014 to absolute mayhem. Check out 3:19 of the video to hear Nuxx in action.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
3. Subvert by Glitchmachines<\/strong><\/a><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<\/figure>\n\n\n\nSubvert is a multi-channel distortion unit that can radically change any input. It\u2019s one of the more extreme plugins on this list in the sense that it’ll truly decimate your sound, often rendering it unrecognizable (in a good way). With its minimal, submenu-free UI, Subvert allows everything to be quickly accessed and manipulated. Check out 6:38 of the video to hear Subvert in action.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
4. SurferEQ by SoundRadix<\/strong><\/a><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<\/figure>\n\n\n\nSurferEQ is a unique pitch-tracking equalizer; each of its seven EQ filters can latch onto a specific harmonic of an incoming sound. This is particularly helpful when creating consistent mixes for elements such as bass and vocals. That said, it can only latch onto monophonic sources, so SurferEQ will act like a traditional equalizer when processing piano, rhythm guitar, or anything else that’s polyphonic in nature. Check out 8:55 of the video to hear SurferEQ in action.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/figure>\n\n\n\nSubvert is a multi-channel distortion unit that can radically change any input. It\u2019s one of the more extreme plugins on this list in the sense that it’ll truly decimate your sound, often rendering it unrecognizable (in a good way). With its minimal, submenu-free UI, Subvert allows everything to be quickly accessed and manipulated. Check out 6:38 of the video to hear Subvert in action.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
4. SurferEQ by SoundRadix<\/strong><\/a><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<\/figure>\n\n\n\nSurferEQ is a unique pitch-tracking equalizer; each of its seven EQ filters can latch onto a specific harmonic of an incoming sound. This is particularly helpful when creating consistent mixes for elements such as bass and vocals. That said, it can only latch onto monophonic sources, so SurferEQ will act like a traditional equalizer when processing piano, rhythm guitar, or anything else that’s polyphonic in nature. Check out 8:55 of the video to hear SurferEQ in action.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/figure>\n\n\n\nSurferEQ is a unique pitch-tracking equalizer; each of its seven EQ filters can latch onto a specific harmonic of an incoming sound. This is particularly helpful when creating consistent mixes for elements such as bass and vocals. That said, it can only latch onto monophonic sources, so SurferEQ will act like a traditional equalizer when processing piano, rhythm guitar, or anything else that’s polyphonic in nature. Check out 8:55 of the video to hear SurferEQ in action.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
