Cryostasis

Cryostasis

Cryostasis is a spectral inertia effect that can progressively smear your audio until infinitely frozen in time. It features spectral FX and controls to shape the character of the frozen tail. All are controlled by a continuously variable freeze knob or an auto switch that can be timed in milliseconds or musical measures (double-click).

Freeze Designer

You can use various controls to change the sound of the freeze effect. For example, the Size parameter will change the time length of the spectral window, which completely changes the sonic character. Lower values sound unnatural and robotic, while higher values sound smooth and atmospheric.

Slow Motion

When the freeze effect is coupled with the built-in pitch shifter, it creates a tape-stop style effect, where the sound appears to slow down over time until it becomes completely frozen - forever. Or use the frequency shifter for dissonant risers and downshifters.

Ambient Dreams

The Wash control diffuses the freeze effect into a lush and smooth modulated reverb tail. Easily create spaced-out ambience and soundscapes that dissolve into the either. It can even be used as a sound design tool to create frozen vocal loops to load into your favourite sampler.

LoFi Glitch

Use the built-in Bit and Rate reducers to add some LoFi magic to the sound. Couple that with lower Size values, and you can create dirty robotic glitches to washed-out dusty soundscapes.

Filter Transitions

Cryostasis is great for transitioning between musical sections and for creative intros and outros. The built-in high-pass and low-pass filters can help to sweep the effect in & out and up & down. Imagine your sound diffusing into thin air or blurring into the darkness.

Progressive Freezing

Cryostasis can freeze audio using the switch, but unlike most other freeze plugins, it also has a continuously variable freeze. You can smoothly transition between freeze states or even partially freeze to create time-smearing effects.
