Quadrant 2 Upgrade from Quadrant 1 is an upgrade path for existing owners of Quadrant 1, the modular effects processor from Glitchmachines. It adds module slots, new modules and a patching system for experimental sound design.
Quadrant 2 Upgrade from Quadrant 1 is aimed at owners who already use the first version of Glitchmachines' modular plugin. Version 2 adds four module slots, 14 new modules and a range of refinements. The plugin combines a graphical patching system with a set of 50 modules, from oscillators and effects to sequencers and utilities. It can process drum loops, soft synths and external hardware, or run fully self-generating patches as a sound source.
Each module slot gives access to up to four input and output nodes. Nodes connect through virtual patch cables and include built-in attenuators, so one node can send and receive several signals at once. Glitchmachines says this makes complex modulation setups possible.
The signal flow is open-ended. You can build chains that process audio, or patches that generate their own sound and modulation without an input. The interface can be scaled to suit the workflow.
The plugin ships with more than 100 factory patches, split into three banks. A preset bank system lets you add further banks. The factory patches include both external processing setups and internally generated effects.
The upgrade suits producers who already own Quadrant 1 and want the additional slots and modules. Those who want to run the plugin in multiple instances will also find the design useful, as Glitchmachines points out that the plugin supports several instances alongside DAW integration.
