Hagai Davidoff has introduced a new audio plugin which splits any sustained sound into four frequency bands and plays each one as a drum voice from its own step sequencer.
A rhythmic spectral gate, Spectdrum carves every hit out of the incoming audio, allowing the groove to inherit the texture and character of whatever you feed it.
There is a rhythm hiding in every sound. Take a pad. A drone. A string patch. A vocal. A field recording. Anything that just sits there.
Spectdrum splits it into four frequency bands and plays each band as its own rhythmic voice. The lows punch. The mids snap. The highs tick and shimmer. Nothing is added from outside: no samples, no synthesis. Every hit is carved from your sound, so the groove keeps the color, texture, and character of the material it came from. That is why no two Spectdrum grooves sound the same. Your sound is the groove.
Spectdrum features
- Four bands (Sub, Low-Mid, High-Mid, Air), each with its own filter, pitch, width, and drive.
- Polyrhythmic sequencer: 1 to 32 steps per band, independent lengths, per-step velocity, and swing.
- Hand-drawn volume, filter, pan, and pitch envelopes per band.
- Per-band reverb and delay sends, plus a master strip with compression, distortion, EQ, and a maximizer.
Available for Windows and macOS in VST3 and AU plugin formats, Spectdrum is on sale for the launch price of $69 USD for a limited time (regular $99 USD).
