Motion: Harmonic (Upgrade from any Motion Lite): Distortion, Filter and Bitcrusher Plugin by Excite Audio Free Download

The FX page holds four sections: Bitcrush, Distortion, Peak Filter and an LP/HP Filter. The bitcrusher offers bit depth and sample rate reduction, a dynamic control that focuses the effect on transients, and Lo and Hi frequency sliders to isolate the effect to a band. The distortion section includes Drive and Character controls, which the developer describes as moving between tape, tube and fuzz sounds, along with a feedback loop with adjustable frequency.

The high-pass and low-pass filters have frequency, slope and resonance controls and can be placed before or after the bitcrusher and distortion. The Peak Filter creates peaks or notches for spectral resonance or phaser-style sounds. Real-time visualisers show the wet signal next to the dry signal.

Parameters are assigned by dragging them onto the six macro sliders. Each slider has its own parameter mapping, min and max values, and an audio-reactive envelope. The magnetic cursor can be set to attract or repel, with adjustable range and strength.

Paths can be drawn by plotting points or recorded freely. The timeline offers forward, reverse and pendulum playback, loop path, and sync retrigger modes with DAW sync or a free duration. Producers can record a slow movement and speed it up, or design a point-by-point path that plays very slowly to turn a loop into an evolving pattern.
