K-Devices Debuts New Creative Audio Effects Plug-In Series

K-Devices, has released WOV and TTAP, new plug-in effects for the VST/VST3/AU/AAX formats.

WOV is the evolution of the WOV Pedal, originally designed for the MOD Duo. WOV started as a tremolo, but it now comes with parameters to handle modulation in even more creative ways, becoming a complex texture maker, able to go from warm guitar-like tremolo modulations to quasi grains processing, to complex trance gate patterns, and more.

The Response parameter lets incoming audio increase/decrease the Modulation Rate, creating dynamic time fluctuations. The combination of the parameters Wave, Peak, and Warp, shape the modulator waveform in a flexible and easy way, giving a wide range of possible results.

The Accents multi-slider adjusts amplitude for each modulator cycle (range 2-8 steps), creating complex patterns. A Stereo Mode, when enabled, affects several parameters: Silence, Response, and Multislider, giving exclusive per channel processing, for wider stereo results.

Aleatory elements introduce chance into the process of creation. Silence allows the chance of getting silent modulation cycles while altering the Variation parameter introduces instability and unpredictable variations in the modulation.

TTAP is a delay effect with a set of creative features to process the delayed signal. Its unusual structure lets the user/musician easily achieve classic as well as highly unusual delay results.

TTAP’s signal passes through two buffers, which can be independently processed and further delayed. An exclusive, highly shapeable Amplitude Envelope is available for each buffer. Each buffer can be independently played in reverse mode as well.

The relationship between buffers is handled by the parameters Gap and Balance. The Gap setting is an additional delay value for a second buffer, and Balance sets the amplitude ratio between the buffers. This simple but powerful combination of two features lets the user obtain delayed accents that, if reiterated through Feedback, give a reverberation of patterns far beyond the usual delay effect concept.

Besides Delay Time, a core parameter of TTAP is the time value called Section. This adjusts the time resolution that the buffers’ manipulation features are based on (amplitude envelope length, second buffer max delay, time resolution for aleatory stereo Spread and Repeat, and more). This allows all parameters to be changed simultaneously.

The Repeat parameter sets the chance to repeat the current buffer instead of overwriting it with the new incoming signal, creating semi-aleatory glitch results, up to a complete freeze effect. The Bend parameters section simulates a non-linear playhead resulting in exponential or logarithmic reading of the buffer.

One thought on “K-Devices Debuts New Creative Audio Effects Plug-In Series

  1. The use of input level to control the mod rate is a great feature. It’s been disappointing that various multi-effects processors lack internal mod sources like env trig, input level, lfo’s (with their own mod inputs), etc.

    The Lexicon MPX-1 broke new ground in this regard, but it seems that the trend fizzled.

    I don’t have access to more expensive processors. Have other companies incorporated heavy modulation matrixes to their effects products? (Axe FX, Line 6 -helix, etc?)
