Glitchmachines has released Cryogen, which they describe as a modular buffer effects processor designed to generate robotic artefacts and abstract musical malfunctions. Here's their detailed explanation of it...

Cryogen features dual buffer effects, dual multimode filters with morphable modes and dual bit crusher effects. With the advent of its extremely flexible architecture and modulation options, Cryogen is capable of generating everything from subtle glitches to stunning signal mutations, making it an exciting tool for electronic musicians and sound designers alike.

Cryogen features a fully modular drag & drop modulation matrix which makes it possible to bend the signal path to your will. This versatile matrix adds a fresh dimension of possibilities to the plugin when used in conjunction with its four signal mixers and two mod multipliers, all of which are capable of combining both audio and modulation signals. Cryogen comes loaded with 140 factory presets from sound designers Ivo Ivanov, Thomas Hennebert, Nicholas Yochum, Daed and Alex Retsis.

Cryogen's LFOs feature optional 100X rate multipliers, making it possible to also use them as dirty tone generators within your patches. In combination with the signal mixers, you can take these LFO's far beyond traditional modulation duties. Another one of Cryogen's highlights is the ability to use incoming audio signals to modulate nearly every parameter. On top of that, the modulation multipliers can convolve audio signals with modulation signals in any combination. These unconventional features are the key to creative signal processing that would be impossible to achieve with more conservative plugins.

Cryogen is an adaption of the popular (now discontinued) Eurydice plugin from Inear Display. We have taken great care to retain all of Eurydice's nuances and even implemented backwards compatibility with legacy presets. Between its flexible signal flow configuration options, multiple effects processors and numerous modulation options, Cryogen enables you to dial in vast variations of special effects. Add distinct nuances to your virtual instruments, hardware synths, guitars, vocals, drums, loops, sound effects and just about anything else you can imagine. Cryogen takes buffer effects one step closer to the edge!
