Kaleidon Spark (FREE)
Turn your effects into rhythm. Start free.
Build moving effect patterns on a track with four independent sequencer lanes. Choose the moments your processing comes alive, then shape each hit, all inside one plug-in.
Make the processing part of the groove.
Catch a phrase
Bring delay or reverb in on selected words, chords or snare hits.
Reshape a loop
Add distortion to the offbeats, cut rhythmic gaps, or turn one hit into a repeat.
Keep a texture moving
Give each of four effects its own pattern and speed so they play together without repeating the same motion.
Four lanes. Your effects. Your rhythm.
Load your own VST3 effects or use Kaleidon’s built-in modules. Each lane runs in sync with your DAW, with its own pattern and timing.
Build a four-lane rack
Put an effect or module in each lane and reorder the chain to change the result.
Place the moments
Draw 8–24 steps, use Throw or Cut, and set each lane to half, normal or double speed.
Make each hit yours
Adjust wet levels and Gate Shape length, attack and release for sharp accents or softer movement.
Four built-in tools.
Use them straight away, or sequence effects already installed on your computer.
Repeater catches and repeats slices of audio at rhythmic subdivisions.
Trimmer creates step-based level cuts and boosts.
Panner moves active steps between left, centre and right.
Pitcher shifts selected steps by whole semitones.
