Aberrant Audio has introduced its latest audio effect plugin Cataclysm, a signal destruction machine from a paranoid time.

- Lofi looper with 3 recording mediums (Tape, BBD, Data) and adjustable quality.
- Hum low-frequency drone oscillator.
- Stereo chorus module with bass frequency preservation and 4 waveshapes.
- Amplitude modulation module with 4 waveshapes for tremolo and ring mod effects.
- Envelope follower module that can modulate drive, resonator, and hum modules.
- Delay-based stereo resonator module with tunable resonant pitch.
- Stereo delay module with 3 recording mediums (Tape, BBD, Data).
- Global mix control.
- Instructional computer display for built-in operational assistance.
- Custom preset system with 92 factory presets declassifying Cataclysm’s signal processing.
Available for Windows and Mac (VST3, AU and AAX), Cataclysm is on sale for the intro price of $24 USD at Plugin Boutique and from the Aberrant DSP store until November 30th, 2025 (regular $36 USD).
