Infinitely transform your audio files with Cataract’s extensive randomization and modulation options. Warp pitched samples into parallax melodies or redistribute loop segments into generative polyrhythms. Whether you are sculpting articulate percussion patterns for an electronic music EP or designing high-tech cyborg effects for a sci-fi game, Cataract will give your projects a unique cutting-edge twist.

Cataract features a dynamic, color-coded user interface that simplifies navigation and streamlines functionality. One of the plugin’s highlights is the ability to step-sequence nearly every parameter, making it possible to coordinate extremely expressive and detailed patterns. Synchronize tightly with your hosts’s clock, use your MIDI keyboard to improvise complex pattern variations in real time, or sequence precise parameter changes from within your favorite DAW. You can even utilize Cataract’s GEN functions to set up completely generative evolving phrases.

Cataract includes two scanners, each of which are equipped with two sample slots. Each scanner includes two LFOs, a multimode filter, a multimode delay effect, a scan sequencer with windowing and dedicated LFO, a 3-Band graphic EQ, four dedicated randomizers, five MIDI triggered save states and a dedicated modulation matrix. Globally, Cataract features a crossfade-style morph section with its own dedicated X-MOD LFO, as well as three percentage-based randomizers that facilitate consistently compelling results with relative ease.

To get you started, we included a collection of presets and over 130 new loops by sound designers Ivo Ivanov, Nicholas Yochum and Daed. In the interest of maximizing Cataract’s broad potential, we’ve also included a sample pack consisting of 200 brand new Foley and synth sound effects exclusively designed for this plugin by Ivo Ivanov.

When you’re ready to extend the plugin’s sonic palette, check out our numerous Macropacks, Libraries and FREE Nanopacks which will provide you with exciting new aural landscapes to traverse. Of course, Cataract also works with all of your existing samples. No matter what you throw at it, Cataract will inspire creativity and exploration.
