Frostbite 2
Winter is Coming
Spectral Freeze, Ring Mod, Feedback
Frostbite is a spectral freezing plugin with a Ring Modulator and a Feedback module. With the four freezing modes (spectral, reverb, convolution, granular), you can transform any sound into ambient textures, soundscapes, or just frozen reverbs.
Frostbite can also be used for extreme sonic experiments by entirely mangling any source with extreme modulations.
The Signal Flow is flexible, you can rearrange the modules with a simple drag-and-drop, and selects between the two modes: serial and parallel.
With the internal LFO you can modulate most of the parameters on each module, creating evolving eerie soundscapes.
Frostbite 2 is available for macOS, Windows, and Linux (VST, VST3, AU, AAX, CLAP).
It’s and also as AUv3 and Standalone on the App Store for iOS and iPadOS.
Four Freeze Modes
The Freeze module has four freeze modes that you can choose from:
- Spectral, uses FFT to store several analysis windows in memory and replay them randomizing their phases.
- Reverb, a classic reverb algorithm with multiple comb and all-pass filters that can have an infinite decay.
- Convolution, multiplies the input signal with a randomly generated noise impulse, up to 60 seconds
- Granular, the input signal is chopped into small grains that are randomly processed
Drag and Drop
Frostbite 2 can be used in serial or parallel mode.
When used in serial mode, you can rearrange the modules with a simple drag-and-drop to change the signal flow.
