Sinevibes let us know that they’ve released updated versions of their Isomer and Stator effects for Korg Multi-Engine devices, adding support for the NTS-1 mkII synthesizer & NTS-3 kaoss pad.

The two new plugins are available at no additional cost to those who bought them for older devices.

Isomer is an ensemble delay.

It has two main stereo delays offering tempo-synchronized time adjustment and near-infinite feedback. Their outputs are sent into four additional delays (two per channel) with their own individual feedback lines and with their times being modulated by four separate LFO signals. Thanks to the mutual phase offsets between these LFOs, and subtle feedback, the delay tail gets a smooth and highly musical detuning effect similar to chorus ensemble. Due to the opposing modulation between the left and right channels, Isomer also adds an extra dimension within the stereo field.

Added features for second-generation devices: variable stereo width parameter.

Stator is a tape wobble simulator.

It uses a creative approach to replicate the effects of speed fluctuations in tape machines, namely wow and flutter due to uneven electric motor rotation, as well as scrape flutter caused by the friction of the tape against the tape head. The algorithm also models gentle phasing artifacts produced by crosstalk between the stereo channels.

The processed sound has a beautiful stereo vibe and can go from gentle chorusing and coloration all the way to dramatic lo-fi pitch wobble. Added features for second-generation devices: variable dry/wet mix, stereo width, and crosstalk parameters.

Free Upgrades:

Isomer and Stator for second-generation KORG devices are free upgrades for those who bought the first-generation versions. See the Sinevibes site for details.
