WE LOVE CREATING MUSIC PLUGINS, USED BY PROS & THOSE WHO DIG MAKING TUNES AS MUCH AS WE DO
Cytomic was founded by Andrew and Emma Simper in 2007. We've been making boutique audio plugins ever since. Our software can create, change and enhance audio to help you write your best music. We model classic analog processing circuits, bringing their exact sounds to the digital world. Instead of carrying large, heavy, fragile, expensive pieces of gear around, you can have all their gorgeous sounds right there, in your computer. We use the same high quality algorithms used in circuit simulators, optimised to run fast, in real time.
The Glue
The Glue is an analog modeled compressor plug-in based on The classic 80's British big console buss compressor with some handy additional features. It uses the same high quality algorithms used in circuit simulators, but optimised to run fast, and features a gorgeous fully scalable user interface.

FAVOURITE AUDIO CLIPS

Fjolle Doof - Dry then Glued
A doof dance track with the kick mixed loud but otherwise totally dry to show how heavy compression can glue the track together into a pumping smooth dance monster.
0:00 - Dry audio.
0:45 - Glued audio.
-
Gita Vox - Dry then Glued
This vocal was deliberately sung with quiet and loud sections which need taming to use in a mix. The Glue easily brings the quiet sections up and brings the loud sections down, while as the same time increasing clarity and giving the vocals a little sparkle.
0:00 - Dry audio.
0:37 - Glued audio.

The Drop
The Drop is an analog modeled resonant filter plug-in based on classic analog synth filters, as well as completely new designs. It uses the same high quality algorithms used in circuit simulators, but optimised to run fast, and features a gorgeous fully scalable user interface. There is a huge level of detail in the models, which gives them amazing drive and tone. The original structure of the circuits is preserved in the model, as is the location and shape of all major non-linearities.

Pump - Audio Rate LFO
This song uses The Drop for tremelo and panning as well as filter sweeps. The sidechain-like pumping of the synth is actually done using an LFO that can reach audio rate for dramatic buildups and breakdowns. Two copies of The Drop are used on the track, one on the synth and one on the drums.
0:00 - Panning and filter sweeps. The LFO is used as a panning effect by using the phase offset control.
0:30 - Pumping in time with song. The pumping here is done with a rising sawtooth LFO, no sidechain compression is used.
0:46 - Audio rate LFO. The rate of the LFO is increased to create a ring modulation at audio rate before being swept down again for the drop.
0:60 - LFO automatic re-sync. The LFO automatically re-syncs to the nearest bar so that it's back in time with the song.

One Sided Tranny - MS1 filter
An example of using The Drop on a synth bassline and a drum beat using the MS1 circuit modelled low pass and high pass filters.
0:00 - Dry bassline for a short time, then the low pass filter is swept into action and away again, then the highpass filter is swept into action and away again.
0:22 - A bandpass filter is made on the bassline using both the high pass and low pass filters together.
0:44 - The high pass is pushed into self oscillation to create interesting tones with the synth bass sound.
1:50 - An envelope follower is used to modulate the cutoff and create an wah-wah type sound on the mix, the strong drum sounds give the filter lots of movement.

The Scream
WARNING - PRODUCT IN PUBLIC BETA! The Scream is an analog modeled stomp box distortion plug-in based on the classic green Tube Screamer pedal. It uses the same high quality algorithms used in circuit simulators, but optimised to run much faster, and features a gorgeous fully scalable user interface. It is a full discrete component model of the original, with modified Boyle macro modelled op-amps. All component and model values in the circuit can be edited to customise your tone. Choose LEDs or Germanium diodes to create asymmetric clipping combinations, chain any number of diodes in series or even bypass them altogether and let the op-amp do the clipping - the possibilities are endless!
