Motion Engine and Sound Character

The defining addition in OneShot 2 is the Motion Engine. Motion Slots are continuous sounds whose intensity can shift over time, so a single slot can swell or fade instead of simply triggering once.

Motion Triggers control that intensity either from an envelope or from incoming MIDI CC or polyphonic aftertouch. This gives you a direct way to shape movement from your controller or from the plugin's own envelope.

Stack Triggers fire several sounds from one MIDI note, which is useful for layering hits without building separate tracks.

Mixer, Effects and Workflow

Each instrument slot has its own mixer channel with volume, pan, pitch, two FX inserts and two FX sends. Up to 24 instrument slots can be loaded at once, with two parallel FX busses and a master output.

The built-in effects cover EQ, compression, distortion, several reverbs and a room simulator, stereo control, gate, bitcrush, delay and a master finalizer. Reverb2 is based on the algorithm from the Walls plugin, and a Transient Adder and Unstereo control are included.

For routing, multi-out support sends each slot to its own DAW track for further processing. Effects can be copied and pasted between slots, and presets can be imported and exported.
