Song Athletics has released a new audio plugin designed to deconstruct your sounds.

RUINER makes adding character to your sound simple. We’ve curated 8 of our favourite go-to effects and combined them in one device, with singular knobs for each, so that you can delightfully degrade any signal with ease. From a light dusting to full harmonic overload, there’s just so much scope for ruin.

RUINER features

  • Stutter: Beat repeater where dial controls probability and rate of repeat.
  • Granular: Dial controls a custom-grain manipulation which increases in complexity.
  • Compress: A punchy compressor, where dial controls threshold.
  • Bit Crush: Stepped control from 16-bits down to 8 bit.
  • Harmonic Distortion: Dial controls combination of dry/wet and drive.
  • Overdrive: Dial controls amount of modelled diode clipping.
  • Tape: Dial controls combination of dry/wet and various degradation options of the tape model.
  • Static: Dial controls amount of combined static noise sources: originally-sourced analogue circuit noise and vinyl surface noise.

Available for Windows and Mac (VST3/AU), RUINER is priced £20 GBP.
