Sinevibes has introduced Extremum, a new effects processor for OS X (AU).

According to the company, Extremum was built with one huge goal: ‘to turn even the most simple sounds into insanely interesting, tonally rich and exciting new materia’l.

Extremum features a collection of phaser, chorus and filter algorithms, comprised of up to 256 stages and 16 feedback lines – all of which apply radical but finely controllable transformations. To take it even further, Extremum has its own tempo-synchronised modulator with multiple waveforms, variable lag and chaos.

Specifications:

• Six extreme effect algorithms: 256-stage phaser, 24-stage chorus, 16-stage positive/negative comb filter, 8-stage positive/negative barber-pole phaser.
• Modulation generator with 8 waveforms, adjustable lag and periodic chaos.
• Advanced transport sync algorithm with support for tempo and time signature automation.

Compatibility:

Extremum works with Logic, GarageBand, Live, MainStage, ReNoise, Reaper, Studio One, Digital Performer, Tracktion and other software that supports Audio Unit effect plugins. It comes in 32/64-bit format for Intel Macs running OS X 10.6 or later, and supports Retina screen resolution.

Pricing and Availability:

Extremum is available now for $29 via the Sinevibes site. Audio demos and a demo version are also available.
