Sonalksis Creative Elements Bundle
Creative Filter Plug-in
Overview
The Sonalksis Creative Filter is the world's first 'Adaptive Resonance' filter - an entirely new generation of filter that automatically adapts resonance and saturation characteristics according to a psychoacoustic model. It can be used for slow, gentle sweeps; massive screaming distorted sounds, and just about everything in between. Ultimately though, the Creative Filter is simply about creativity.
The Creative Filter is designed to be flexible enough to fulfil your needs whenever you reach for a filter, but without forcing you through a complex interface, or requiring time spent calibrating fine detail. It adaptively calibrates itself for you. So whether you want a filter to correct a sound, to make a sonic statement, or to create something completely new, you can achieve what you want directly and with minimal effort.
Features
Standard filters require the alteration of resonance with frequency to maintain stable sonic attributes, particularly when resonance or saturation levels are elevated. This can make setup complex, adjustments difficult, and makes obtaining a perfect filter sweep very demanding. However the Creative Filter's 'adaptive resonance' system uses a psychoacoustic model to ensure a faultless sound regardless of filter style, distortion levels, frequency settings or sweep motions.
Adaptive Resonance is the technology in the Sonalksis Creative Filter that controls the interaction between frequency, resonance and circuit saturation with respect to this psychoacoustic model, in order to give an improved sonic aesthetic in any circumstances.

Digital Grimebox Plug-in
Overview
The Sonalksis Digital Grimebox, is a creative sonic degradation plug-in. The Grimebox lets you play with some uniquely brutal but creative effects, and is specially adapted to allow automatable degradation. Many sonic degradation effects are not suited to real-time automation as they are incapable of a smooth transition in the audio degeneration, unlike the Digital Grimebox which was designed with this in mind. The Digital Grimebox is comprised of a bitcrusher, a downsampler, an adaptive bias and distortion algorithm, and a low pass filter.
Features
The Digital Grimebox is efficient, intuitive and direct - and therefore very simple to use, providing great results with minimal effort, the interface and the options provided make it easy to achieve a variety of sonic effects including, but not limited to:
- Downsampling of audio to create subtle or not-so-subtle lo-fi effects
- Bitcrushing of transient-rich audio to add emphasis
- General audio degradation effects
- Clipping of transient signals to enhance and excite top end energy
- Use combinations of downsampling and bitcrushing to introduce harmonic distortion to fatten bass and other tones
Specifications
- - Adaptive bias technology - psychoacoustically optimised to generate flattering tubesque even order distortion.
- - Designed for automation, with smooth control of the degrading signal
- - Four available modes of adaptive distortionThree available lowpass filter types
- - Selective clipper-limiter threshold activation level
- - 64bit floating point precision internal processing throughout
- - Ultra efficient processing, with specific optimisations for native processors
- - Zero latency throughput
- - Ultra efficient processing, with specific optimisations for native processors
- - Glitchless switch transitions [e.g. limiter in/out, bypass on/off]
- - Graphical display indicators provide detailed feedback on response settings
Über Compressor Plug-in
Overview
The Sonalksis Über Compressor is a dynamics processor unlike any other. Beneath its simple interface lies a radical analogue modelled compressor that can be pushed much further and harder than you ever imagined possible, due to a unique digital manipulation of the modelled circuits.
In essence the Über Compressor is analogue compression taken to the extreme, mashed up to a level impossible to achieve in physical reality.
Subtlety is definitely not a feature of this compressor!
Features
The Über Compressor takes advantage of the digital domain to extend analogue circuit designs far beyond their normal physical capabilities, enabling a level of creativity not normally associated with this type of processor.
The Über Compressor can be used to simply bring lackluster sound back to life, or to mutate audio into apocalyptic soundscapes. A true Creative Element.
Specifications
- - Extreme analogue-modelled compression algorithm
- - Optional 'true analogue noise' colouration
- - Four selectable fully adaptive attack/release modes
- - Modifiable side-chain filter character
- - 64bit floating point precision internal processing throughout
- - Ultra efficient processing, with specific optimisations for native processors
- - Zero latency throughput - absolutely no internal signal delay whatsoever
