Array v4: Spectral Sequencer Effect Plugin by Sinevibes Free Download

Array v4 is a spectral sequencer effect plugin from Sinevibes that splits audio into 8 frequency bands, one octave apart, and gates each band with a step sequencer.

01Overview

Array v4 is built around a crossover filter bank that divides incoming audio into eight bands spaced one octave apart. Each band has its own gate, driven by an step sequencer with up to 32 steps per pattern. The crossover filters are described as clean and neutral, so the sequencing is the main source of movement. Optional resonant band-pass filters on each band add more aggressive spectral effects, including vocoder-like morphing. Array v4 is a plugin for rhythmic manipulation of a sound's spectrum.

03In depth

Spectral Gating and Sound Shaping

The crossover filters run at -24 dB/octave and split the signal into eight bands. Sinevibes describes them as neutral, so they do not color the sound on their own. Enabling the optional band-pass filters adds variable resonance and slope on each band, which moves the result from subtle rhythmic gating toward heavy spectral filtering.

A spread control pans the bands progressively across the stereo field, using bipolar pan settings. Lag filters on the gate transitions and on all continuous parameters are meant to keep changes smooth and free of clicks.

Sequencer and Workflow

The sequencer stores eight gate patterns, each with up to 32 steps, and each frequency band has its own sequence. Timing options include swing and polymetric or polyrhythmic motion across different time signatures.

Pattern editing tools include copy, paste, reset, trim, invert, mirror, reverse, evolve, randomize, shift and loop. The interface uses color-coded controls and can be scaled up to 200 percent. Channel configurations cover mono to mono, mono to stereo and stereo to stereo.
