Secta : amplitude sculptor for Android

11 things about Secta : amplitude sculptor

1. Secta is an audio effect that dynamically splits incoming audio in two sections and processes each with an exclusive kit of effects, sculpting silence, shaping accents and amplifying hidden details, guiding each layer into a parallel sonic dimension.

2. Building on the concept of a multidimensional gate, Secta processes the audio in a unique way, adding an ephemeral and dramatic touch to acoustic instruments, warmly disintegrating loops, injecting abrupt drops and re-texturizing your lines, or throwing down any beat into a dark path of fragmentation.

3. At first, Secta splits the incoming signal acting as a gate effect: the user sets an amplitude threshold using the Verge and Boost parameters.

4. Secta is part of totem/ series by K-Devices: unconventional audio effects coming in a compact format, easy to use, at a lower, convenient price.

5. Hard-to-describe with classic effect categories, Secta processes both sides of a gated source independently, acting as a counterpoint amplitude sculptor.

6. The envelope itself controls the frequency of a lowpass filter in the Above section (resulting similar to a lowpass gate), while its inverse value controls the amplitude of the Below section.

7. The signal’s amplitude portion greater than the threshold value generates an envelope which controls the Above and Below sections.

8. Above and Below sections process sounds using a different set of effects each: the more rumbling Above, the more textural and looney Below.

9. SHAPE THE ENVELOPE /// Set Verge and Boost to create the envelope that will control Above and Below; use Smooth and Mode to shape it in different ways.

10. Secta is a colorizer, no mix parameters are available: just load Secta onto your track and let it inspire you with its timbrical shades.

11. Using one section at a time holds interesting sculpting results, while combining and balancing them is great for creating richer textures.
