maniFold Omega DEMO

This is a fully functional, time-limited demo version of maniFold Omega.

Audio processing stops after 5 minutes.
To continue evaluating the demo, please reload the plugin — the timer will restart.

I'll do my best BUT you are responsible for ensuring that the Software is compatible with your system before purchasing FULL Version

Minimum system requirements:

Windows 11

MacOS 10.15

Overview of maniFold Omega

maniFold Omega is a hybrid real-time effect processor that blends real-time micro-looping, granular fx, spectral-style delay processing, and feedback-based textures. It’s designed for experimental sound design, ambient layering, glitch textures, and abstract time-based transformations.

Key Features

• Micro-looper and Granular FX engine with 16 Play Heads
  • Each head plays from a shared variable-size audio buffer.
  • Randomized playback: Position, length, panning, and pitch.
  • Real-time Visualization: Monitor active heads and playback positions instantly.
• Advanced Buffer Management
  • Variable Buffer Size: Adjustable from 1 to 60 seconds, allowing for everything from tiny glitches to massive ambient loops.
  • State Saving: The audio buffer state is saved directly with your DAW project, so your textures are exactly where you left them when you reload.
• Buffer Control
  • Freeze/Lock: Capture a sonic moment for infinite looping.
  • bufferClear: Instantly flush the play/record buffer for a fresh start.
• Delay Cluster
  • 16 delay lines using all-pass filter topology (not standard delays).
  • Rich comb-filtering, pitch smearing, and spectral-like time dispersion.
• •  Recirculation
  • Feeds the delay network back into itself for evolving, chaotic textures.
  • Functions similarly to a high-end reverb tank or modular feedback loop.
• Envelope & Loop Shape
  • mLoopShape: Sets the amplitude envelope for each play head.
  • mLoopSize: Defines minimum playback size (500ms to 5s) for tighter or broader loops.
    

Technical Overview: maniFold Omega

Micro-Looper & Granular Engine

• mLoopMix (0-100%): Crossfades the delay input between the dry signal and the micro-looper output.
• mLoopSize (250ms - 5s): Defines the base duration for the 16 play heads.
• mLoopShape: Morphs the amplitude envelope (windowing) of the loop grains (triangle). |\ /\ /|
• startJitter: Adds random position offsets to each play head.
• scanSpeed (0.0x - 5.0x): Controls the automated movement through the buffer.
• octaveJitter: Engages random octave shifting for the play heads.
• scanDirection [drop down menu]: Sets the directional behavior (Forward, Reverse, Ping-Pong, Manual(playback controls by cursor)).
• intensity (Hz): Controls the density/trigger rate of new play head assignments.

Buffer & Sync Management

• bufferSize (1s - 60s): Selectable maximum buffer length. 
• bufferLock [Toggle]: Freezes the current buffer; stops recording new audio.
• buffClear [Trigger]: Instantly wipes the audio buffer.
• rec_overdub (0-100%): Controls how much of the existing buffer is kept during new recording passes.

Delay Cluster & Feedback Network

• baseDelay (1ms - 1000ms): Sets the fundamental timing for the all-pass network.
• delayFdbck (-0.8 to 0.8): The internal gain coefficient of the all-pass filters; shapes the "metallic" vs. "diffuse" character.
• recirculation (0-100%): Global feedback loop for evolving textures and swells.
• delaySpread: Offsets the delay times across the 32-line network for stereo width and spectral blur.
• damping (0-100%): High-frequency absorption within the feedback loop.
  

Global Controls

• in_gain (-18dB to +18dB): Adjusts the input level before processing.
• mix (0-100%): Final Dry/Wet balance of the entire plugin.
• Modulation Section:
  • modAmount (0-100%): Depth of the internal LFO.
  • modRate (0Hz - 5Hz): Speed of the internal LFO.
