Gooey Audio has introduced a lo-fi modulating formant effect plugin designed for crushing and droning your sound. A versatile tool, Mortamer comes with optional dithering, clipping, mixing, jittering, and modulation controls.
Unlike many decimator plug-ins, Gooey’s Mortamer doesn’t depend on pre- and post-filters to tame aliasing artifacts. Instead, it uses several very short delays mixed together and averaged—without feedback— which acts as a mock filter to dull the harshest aliased frequencies while preserving the character of the effect.
Of course, the more traditional aliasing algorithms are included for those who want the classic digital grit: the beeps, the bops, the crunchy edges. And for those who want to push it, Mortamer includes a pseudo ring-modulator designed to exaggerate those wonderfully abrasive, fax-machine-like tones.
Mortamer for Windows and macOS (VST3, AU and AAX) is on sale for the introductory price of $4.99 USD until March 16th, 2026 (regular $49.99 USD).
