u-He Twangstrom Guitar Amp Simulator – Professional Audio Software & Plugin
A flexible spring reverb box-of-tricks. If you're familiar with Bazille
you might already have come across its built-in spring unit. We took that one
then modelled two more reverb tanks
paired it with drive section
filter stage
envelope
and mod matrix. It emulates a hand-picked selection of the most popular units you will find in classic guitar and instrument amplifiers
recreating the odd character of real springs. As a faithful emulation of a mechanical device
Twangstro?m needs to be handled well. Many of the technical parameters are user-adjustable in real time
and these can be controlled via MIDI or using the internal LFO and envelope generator. With its multimode resonant filter
Twangstro?m is a unique and powerful tool which can deliver highly unusual
evolving textures… especially when the signal is tossed around using the modulation matrix!
Shakeable springs
Hitting your computer won’t make Twangström shatter so we added a twang control. This is used to shake the springs either manually or through modulation and automation. You might think this is a gimmick for which you have no further use (apart from waking up the neighbours) but if you modulate it slightly everything comes to life!Tank controls
Twangström's reverb is based on physical modelling. As opposed to plug-ins based on impulse responses (IR) our approach mimics the physics of mechanical reverberation. By simulating the wavefront travelling through a medium we can include all the aspects of excitation reflection dispersion interference and other audio properties. Twangström does not mimic the sonic result but simulates the physical device. This means that all dimensions of the device are controllable in realtime on a per-sample-basis – which all boils down to quite some power at your fingertips!Envelope
The envelope in Twangström features 4 different modes and can pick up the signal from either input output or external sidechain. You can select between Envelope Follower Attack and Decay Attack and Release or Cyclic modes. The last one is similar to a 2-stage LFO. Shown controls will adapt to the selected mode with Threshold not appearing while in Envelope Follower mode.Modulation Matrix
The modulation matrix has three general purpose modulation slots and yes you can select shake as one of many targets to modulate the Twang control!Low Frequency Oscillator
The LFO features different time bases including a non-synchronized one measured in seconds. Synchronized options include both dotted times and triplets. There are 8 different waveforms to choose from with 2 of them being stepped or glide random shapes.Features:
- Shakeable springs
- 3 different reverberation tanks inspired by the most popular ones built in the guitar & instrument amps that made rock 'n roll
- Tasty drive & tone stage for heating-up and colouring the sound
- Multi-mode filter with variable type blend
- Four-flavours envelope stage picking up the signal from either input output or external sidechain
- LFO module 8 different types & waveforms variable time base & syncable
- Comprehensive modulation matrix for realtime control of all the parameters
- Independent input and feedback routing options allow all possible stereo or mono combinations
- 76 factory presets NKS-compatible
- UI instantly resizable from 70% to 200%
- Custom remote control via MIDI CC 14-bit resolution option
