Sinevibes Cluster v3
The Sinevibes team announces the release of Cluster v3, the third generation of the company's multi-filter sequencer plugin for Mac, Windows and Linux. This unique animated processor features an array of newly-developed filters combined with a super-flexible modulation envelope sequencer – all presented via a single-screen interface that’s a pure joy to use. Cluster v3 is a complete powerhouse with a very wide range of possibilities: from adding intricate spectral rhythmics to melodic parts to completely reconstructing drum and instrumental loops.
Cluster is a multi-filter sequencer. The core concept is simple at first – a filter with a modulation envelope – but every single parameter is sequenced in a rhythmical fashion, even the filter type itself. At the foundation of the sound engine is a set of six filters which can be selected from many models like multi-mode state variable, comb, phaser and resampler; also, each of those filters can be configured with up to 4 stages in series. Based on this setup, Cluster builds up a sequencer matrix with 7 parameter lanes: three for the filters (type, frequency, resonance), and four for its highly flexible envelope generator with over 50 possible modulation shapes. The sequencer matrix holds up to 8 patterns at once and is driven by an elastic step sequencer algorithm with both polymetric and polyrhythmic abilities, and an extremely wide range of timing settings. All of this is presented via a single-screen, color-coded user interface with dozens of utility functions for pattern manipulation – which makes Cluster an extremely easy-to-use and fun tool for creating pretty much any animated filter effects you can dream of… and way beyond.
For Sinevibes customers who are familiar with the legacy, Mac-only Cluster and Flow plugins, with the new Cluster v3 they are now getting the features of both of them inside a single plugin. And of course the new plugin gets all of the latest technologies and standards: rich sequencer utility function menu, scalable user interface, preset manager, and cross-platform compatibility.
Sound Engine Highlights:
- Six-track filter sequencer with type and slope selectable per track; independently variable cutoff frequency and resonance per step
- 9 available filter types: low-pass, high-pass, band-pass, notch, peaking, comb positive and negative, phaser, resampler; up to 4 filter stages with self-calibrating resonance
- Multi-envelope generator for filter cutoff modulation with independently variable type, divisions, polarity and modulation level per step
- Step sequencer with up to 32 steps, rhythmically correct swing, polymetric and polyrhythmic abilities
- Optional RMS limiter per each filter track
- Variable per-step pan randomization
Supported Formats:
- Mac: AU/VST3/AAX for macOS 10.13 or newer (64-bit Apple Silicon and Intel)
- Windows: VST3/AAX for Windows 8.1 or newer (64-bit Intel and AMD)
- Linux: VST3 for Linux 2020 or newer (64-bit Intel and AMD)
Cluster v3 is immediately available for $49. It's also available for a special upgrade price for Sinevibes customers that own either the latest Dynamic Collection bundle – or the legacy versions of Cluster or Flow.
