DMG Audio has released PitchFunk, an audio manipulating colossus that puts into your hands a laboratory-full of sound crunching effects. Despite the pretty user interface, PitchFunk promises the filthiest noises you’ve never heard.
Dave Gamble of DMG Audio says “This all started as a toy project – I was ill, so doing some research. I’ve always been interested in the history of pitch shifters and was researching into what it was that made the classic units so special. I built a little toy which sounded great. And then, because it seemed necessary, we added feedback. And things got a little more weird. So we added a delay, and it got weirder still. And then a filter, and then variable topologies, a massive modulation section, the moveable gainstage, MS and LR independent processing, and a host of other little things that will entertain and amuse. Suddenly the toy had grown into something monstrous. It was making sounds we couldn’t describe any more. So we’re doing the obvious, and offering it to the world. What’s the worst that can happen?”
