Vortex
Five experimental modules chained into a storm - Grain, Warp, Echo, Space and Spectral - each with its own types and controls. Stack them and a simple sound becomes a whole soundscape; strip it back and any one module carries alone. Closer to weather than to a reverb.

Five modules,
one storm system.
Grain granulates with size, pitch and scatter. Warp mangles with bitcrush, downsample, fuzz, formant and drive. Echo delays, Space breathes with crystal, dark, ghost and ducked reverbs, and Spectral freezes, blurs, glitches and shimmers. A phosphor radar scope in the middle swirls a storm cell to your audio.
Grain, Warp, Echo
Granular clouds, lo-fi mangling and delay - the motion half of the storm, each module on/off with its own types.
Space & Spectral
Crystal, dark, ghost and ducked reverbs, plus spectral freeze, blur, glitch and shimmer - the atmosphere half.
Full chain or one module
Run all five as a sound-design chain, or switch four off and use one killer reverb, granulator or spectral freeze.
