Sugar Bytes releases Turnado in VST and AU formats 31-May-11

Sugar Bytes tell us that Turnado is a revolutionary multi-effect tool, crafted especially for massive real-time audio manipulation. Here's what they have to say about it...

Turnado combines unique and dynamic effects with the most intuitive and immediate control you can imagine. Just turn it on and crank it up.
In the studio, simply dial in your effect from a super-sweet selection of 24 pro-quality algorithms, then mash up your audio content with minimum fuss, quickly adding dynamic variation to your arrangements. Take it to the stage and unleash Turnado's true power. With instant access to eight effects and immediate control over key parameters, Turnado is guaranteed to cause devastation on the dance floor, shredding beats and crunking breaks to insane proportions.

The idea is simple:

  • Turn a knob and the effect is on.
  • Turn the knob further to adjust effect parameters and apply modulations.
  • Turn the knob down and the effect is off.

With its instantaneous, one-knob, multi-parameter modulation features, Turnado will lay waste to the audio landscape. Giving you the power to crunch, chop, twist, mash and elevate your music to new levels, Turnado will have you creating wicked new sounds that will blow any crowd away.

Unlocking the power of your MIDI controller each effect requires only one knob to control it. Underneath this simplicity lies a matrix of effect parameters and modulation engines, all controlled by the main knob. This control matrix provides serious depth to the plugin and gives you the ability to create original and truly unique effect programs.

If the power of one-knob action still doesn't rock your boat, the awesome "Dictator" mode will sink your battleship. It allows you to animate all the main knobs and run that animation with just one fader. That's one fader, controlling up to 8 different effects, with potentially hundreds of parameter changes!

Turnado's primary focus is on beat manipulation, so you will find lots of loopers, slicers and grain tools in the rack. Alongside these beat-mashing effects are an arsenal of distortions and filters as well as first-class delays and reverbs. With extensive modulation possibilities each effect can produce millions of unbelievable variations that can be morphed and twisted into something new every time you tweak those knobs.
Turnado will inspire you again and again, delivering completely new variations of your original sounds and grooves every time, so what are you waiting for...turn it on.

Turnado comes for Mac/PC as Standalone application and VST/AU plugin.

Pricing and Availability:

139€ / $179

No. I've given it some thought and concluded that you can't get away with a song like this. Its too much like Microsoft Songsmith.

Sorry SugarBytes, this kind of thing is unacceptable but commendations for taking the risk

Totally uninspiring. Awful video and tune. Failed attempt at marketing.. Next time don't contract with agencies that design those annoying toy ads for children on tv.


elioks 01-May-12 09:50 PM

wasupthere 25-Apr-12 12:41 AM

this track is appalling, bad choice fro demoing your product....did u run out of ear taste????


Telekon5 22-Mar-12 04:57 AM

Not the most tasteful way to market a product. It makes me think the product is tacky and cheap like the song.


crazyzx9rguy 17-Mar-12 06:53 AM

Awesome products guys keep it up... Cool video


MILLSPRO123 16-Mar-12 11:17 PM

Capeau 11-Mar-12 02:30 PM

synapticflow 02-Mar-12 05:40 PM

Dear Sugar Bytes, you should give me a purchase discount just for having to listen to this song.

Now in all seriousness. I don't suppose this will work with DJ software programs will it? Or is it only usable for Ableton Live?


jeno80 26-Feb-12 11:30 AM

MrDaoJones 07-Nov-11 03:36 AM

Someone clearly turned the knob until disaster and forgot to turn it back.


xxRazorJadexx 03-Nov-11 04:18 PM

Am I the only one reminded of the Donkey Kong 64 rap?


Pmarkoalt 27-Oct-11 06:27 PM

I just had a seizure


beats4reason 15-Oct-11 10:25 PM

7 People Prefer more than "One Knob"


beats4reason 15-Oct-11 10:25 PM

What if that "ONE KNOB" turned every single Knob in the world....ever.... at the same time???


beats4reason 15-Oct-11 06:53 PM

OMG THAT SONG IS SOOOOOOO iLL!!!


AngstySphinx 15-Oct-11 01:56 AM

Noname7401 13-Oct-11 12:33 PM

What a horrible horrible song for a great plug-in the vst is so nice but what where they thinking about when they made the song. ( this thing is better then stutter edit by the way )


raverone100 23-Sep-11 01:43 AM

Haha nicr


ghanz135 03-Sep-11 06:07 PM

If we ever move into a world like "demolition man" this probably be the Number 1 Tune for the decade. Severly annoying means brilliant in this business. Cool plugin btw..


wantedwanted21 30-Aug-11 10:18 AM

Looks like a 80´s commercial ...


Betterburg 29-Aug-11 10:59 PM

Best music software related commercial video ))


senorchaos 25-Aug-11 02:22 PM

What a horrible, horrible song for a great plug-in.


MalwareDubstep 24-Aug-11 12:47 PM

If you came hear looking to listen to a music video you are either retarded or don't understand marketing - take your pick.


FinalFragment 24-Aug-11 04:14 AM

Nice video, but what the hell is going on with that 1980's tv jingle!?!


ballmouse121 12-Aug-11 02:31 AM

they had me sold at "one knob does it all"


reconstructiv 07-Aug-11 11:02 PM

this song is worse than radio disney... they totally have ot be losing sales by not demonstrating this stuff right.


TechnoManiak1450 15-Jul-11 03:53 AM

Really cool graphic effects... Song is kinda cheesy tho :)


antalgabor 08-Jul-11 09:13 PM

amazing video edit I needed to watch it 1000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000 times! :) I don't know who did it, but he could be a motion expert


danceofthedruids 02-Jul-11 07:20 PM

Coooooool!


xBLITZEDx 27-Jun-11 06:09 PM

hehe really cool commercial !!


JudgeJudas 16-Jun-11 11:52 AM

Yeah, I get what you mean by that. When I thought about it, parts of the layout does seem a little similar as well, but of course the purposes are completely different.

Can't wait to try some interesting mappings with the Dictator-mode. It would probably be a nice addition to The Finger and the various Traktor's 12-effects. Maybe I'll even have to give Artillery a second chance. The more the merrier!


register3music 15-Jun-11 10:42 PM

Haha, the actual product doesn't seem similar, just the approach to the advertisement! With the whole add being sung by someone british, and loads of cool effects both visually and audibly. I don't know, maybe it's just me, but yeah, don't think I meant the product! I absolutely love NI too! And yeah, like you said this looks interesting so I will have to grab a demo too :)


JudgeJudas 15-Jun-11 03:36 PM

I don't really see the connection, apart from being effects with knob-options.

I am a huge fan of NI and I use barely anything else (apart from Ableton as a DAW), and I have no relationship with Sugar Bytes (apart from hearing about the whole The Finger versus Artillery-debacle), but this did seem rather interesting. I hope to play with the demo soon, and if it's good enough; buy it, just have even more sound-mangling live :3
