Cataract 2 Upgrade from Version 1

About this plugin

Glitchmachines' Cataract 2.0 represents a significant architectural refinement of an already distinctive sample manipulation tool. Unlike conventional sample slicers that trigger pre-marked segments within static audio files, Cataract operates as a dynamic multiplexer, continuously scanning across up to four simultaneous audio sources via two dual scanners while responding to your DAW's tempo. This fundamental approach generates fundamentally different sonic possibilities - the plugin scans, redistributes, and modulates sample segments in real time rather than simply recalling them.

The 2.0 upgrade introduces substantial improvements to an already complex feature set. The redesigned interface streamlines navigation without sacrificing depth, while the new FX module with its dedicated sequencer represents the most significant addition. The core architecture remains intact: two independent scanners, an X-MOD Morpher for crossfading between signal chains, a global parameter sequencer capable of modulating nearly every variable, dedicated scan sequencers, effects and dynamics processors, multiple LFOs, and a global randomizer. The specially curated factory sample bank and 100 presets provide immediate context for the plugin's capabilities.
