Sync Audio – Ultimate Bundle 10.2026 STANDALONE, VST3, VST3i for Windows

• Universal Third-Party Plugin Modulation (MegaMod & MegaMorph): Attach custom LFOs, envelope followers, and Multi-Stage Envelope Generators (MSEGs) directly to the bottom frame of any third-party VST3 EQ, compressor, saturator, or synthesizer.
• Meta-Instrument & FX Chaining: Combine multiple independent synthesizers, samplers, and insert effects into unified "super-instruments," morphing seamlessly across signal chains with a single curve.
• Structured Granular & Buffer Mangling (Fractiv): Capture live incoming audio or drag-and-drop samples into a real-time visual buffer to scrub, layer, formant-shift, and slice grains via an XY pad without descending into uncontrollable randomness.
• Direct Soundminer Pitch Integration: Four dedicated utilities (controller, Enveloper, Follower, Randomizer) interface directly with Soundminer's DSP Rack and OSC protocol to manipulate varispeed pitch sliders in real time while browsing sound effects libraries.
• Hardware & Software MIDI/OSC Bridge: Convert audio amplitude, drawn envelopes, and tempo-synced random generators into continuous MIDI CC and OSC streams to modulate external hardware synthesizers and modular rigs.

1. Fractiv (v1.2.1) – Granular Buffer Mangler, Live Sampler & Multi-Effect:

   • Built around a real-time visual buffer engine that captures incoming live audio or loads imported files for non-destructive sonic sculpting.
   • Granular Engine: Multiple playback modes including One-Shot, Loop, Ping-Pong, Forward, and Reverse, plus multi-voice self-layering with independent panning and direction.
   • XY Pad & Linked LFOs: Scrub through audio position while simultaneously adjusting grain size; engage "Link Mode" to dynamically lock LFO modulation speed to the current grain size.
   • Time & Texture FX: Integrated DJ-style varispeed, pitch shifting, formant shifting, and bit decimation, playable as either an audio insert effect or a MIDI-triggered instrument via the on-screen keyboard.

2. MegaMorph (v1.0.4) – Attachable MSEG Wrapper, Meta-Instrument Host & Time Warper:

   • Docks an advanced Multi-Stage Envelope Generator (MSEG) shell directly onto the bottom of existing third-party plugins, turning any static effect or synth into a tempo-synced rhythm machine.
   • 4-in-1 Architecture: Combines third-party synths into layered meta-instruments, chains multi-effects with modulatable processing order, morphs parameters across chains, and warps audio pitch/time.
   • Drag-and-Drop Timeline Baking: Drag audio into MegaMorph Warp, sculpt varispeed, pitch, and third-party plugin movements via envelopes, and drag the rendered audio clip straight back to your DAW timeline without cluttering sessions with automation lanes.

3. MegaMod (v1.2.1) – Universal Plugin Modulation Dock:

   • Wraps around any third-party VST3 instrument or effect to provide a modular modulation rack at the bottom of the plugin window.
   • Turns any static equalizer into a dynamic/modulated EQ, adds envelope shapers to vintage saturators, and animates synth parameters in DAWs that lack native parameter modulation.

4. controller (v1.1.0) – Real-Time MIDI-to-Soundminer Pitch Interface:

   • Bridges any hardware MIDI controller (pitch wheel, mod wheel, knob, or fader) directly to Soundminer's real-time varispeed pitch slider.
   • Operates as a standalone utility or DAW plugin, enabling tactile, hands-on pitch performing and sound discovery while auditioning SFX databases.

5. Enveloper (v1.0.1) – Soundminer Varispeed Envelope Designer & MIDI/OSC Generator:

   • Takes control of Soundminer's pitch slider via custom multi-node envelope shapes, automatically applying rhythmic or sweeping pitch contours as you scroll through audio files.
   • Functions in any DAW as a tempo-synced curve designer outputting continuous MIDI and OSC modulation to external hardware synths and software receivers.

6. Follower (v1.0.1) – Soundminer Audio-Driven Pitch Modulator & Hardware Sidechainer:

   • Drives Soundminer's varispeed pitch slider dynamically based on incoming audio amplitude envelopes in real time.
   • Translates audio amplitude curves into MIDI CC and OSC streams, acting as an external envelope follower and sidechain ducking controller for hardware synthesizers and outboard gear.

7. Randomizer (v1.0.1) – Soundminer Pitch Randomizer & Tempo-Synced OSC/MIDI Generator:

   • Modulates Soundminer's pitch fader with real-time randomized pitch trajectories as you browse through sound effects, uncovering unexpected creature vocals, mechanical textures, and whooshes.
   • Outputs tempo-synced random MIDI and OSC control values from your DAW to any external device.

How to Integrate Enveloper, Follower, Randomizer, and controller with Soundminer:

1. DSP Rack Placement: Insert the desired Sync Audio utility (Enveloper, Follower, Randomizer, or controller) directly into Soundminer's DSP Rack (or launch the Standalone application alongside Soundminer).
2. Enable Open Sound Control (OSC): Open Soundminer's Preferences/Settings, navigate to the OSC tab, and ensure OSC communication is set to Enabled.
3. Real-Time Auditioning & Baking: Scroll through your sound effects database—the plugin will actively drive Soundminer's varispeed pitch slider in real time. Hit the REC button inside Soundminer to bake the modulated pitch transformations into the waveform before spotting directly to your DAW timeline.
