Tracktion has announced a free textural effects engine created in collaboration with Chris Bryant aka S1gns Of L1fe.
Built around the idea of illumination, Sol by Dawesome Music fuses a powerful granular engine with an expansive clouds reverb to create movement, depth, and spacious tonal color.
Shape shimmering atmospheres with radiant detail, or dissolve them into wide cosmic shadows. SOL does not emulate rooms. It transforms space itself.
Sol features 6 sound shaping controls for glitter, motion, space and tone:
- Glitter: Adds the granular glitter layer that defines the SOL character. Turn it up for intricate, shimmering detail that dances around your source.
- Calm: Smooths and tames the glitter effect. Perfect for turning sharp movement into a softer, more meditative texture.
- Shine: Introduces pitched grains an octave or two above. Use it for bright, harmonic halos that float above pads and plucks.
- Clouds: Sets the size and density of the ambient reverb. Move from tight rooms to vast solar fields with a single control.
- Space: Controls the depth and spread of the wet signal in the stereo field. Push sounds forward or let them dissolve into the distance.
- Color: Tilt the tone of the wet signal darker or brighter to lock SOL into your mix. Keep it warm and smoky or let it radiate with top end.
The plugin is free to download for Windows and Mac in VST3 and AU plugin formats.
