Make your sound
unstoppable
Turn the simplest idea into music that evolves and captivates; bring boring, static stems to life with moving filters, distortion, beat repeating, and more; make mixes feel more spacious, responsive, and alive.
Bring your music to life
From melodics loop to your drum track, draw curves and envelopes to animate any sound, create automation and polymetric motion to change the feel of your music, and move from stutter to riser to mix widener in a few clicks.
Real-time creative mixing
Use movement to make different elements in your project interact and bounce off each other, making things sit better, evolve dynamically, or dramatically alter your sound.
Sound design deep dive
Stack and weave multiple FX together, trigger beat repeats, and modulate parameters all at once; Efx MOTIONS is somewhere between a full FX chain and an instrument in itself.
Interactive
components
Efx MOTIONS takes the idea of adding movement and energy to your music, and transforms it into easy-to-use components that react and co-operate with each other, turning any audio source into gold.
5 motion
modules
At the center of Efx MOTIONS are its 5 main audio modules, each providing a different type of sound alteration. Toggle them on & off, switch up their order, and dig into unique parameters for each one for a near limitless range of motion-based processing.
Open and close the frequencies of your incoming audio with 5 types of filtering for bubbly swells, pumping resonant risers, and subtle analog transient emphasis.
Embellish & texturize any sound with a layer of noise, with dozens of sampled noise types to explore - from analog white noise to computer keyboard mashing to cicadas chirping.
Saturate, degrade, and destroy incoming sound with 10 varieties of crunch to choose from, including Tape, Softclip, and the fuzzy Germanium.
Create variations in level for stuttering percussion, tremolo-like movements, and more.
Make full use of the stereo field by manipulating the movement of panning in sync with your projects.
Beat
repeat
Chop, resample, and transform incoming audio into punchy rhythmic ideas, from subtle repeating fills to glitchy Aphex Twin-esque mayhem.
Efx MOTIONS’ Beat Repeater and FX module gives you 5 more ways to get creative with the movement of your tracks, plus 2 FX slots with 14 FX types for a sprinkle of sonic coloration.
Roll
Sample and repeat audio at a defined time division.
Reverse
Sample and reverse audio based on a defined time division.
Pitch
Detune incoming audio steadily or with a decaying effect.
Stretch
Adjust pitch and stretch audio while preserving timing and rhythm.
Stop
Slow down incoming audio until it stops, creating a classic tape stop effect.
Hear it
in action
Wrap your head around just a few of the off-world sonic adventures that await you with these compositions.
