The 50 Modes in Finisher FLUXX are built using 27 different effect algorithms as building blocks. There are three parallel busses fed into a Master Bus, plus a Dry Bus that feeds the unprocessed, but level-adjusted input signal to the Finisher plug-in’s output.
Algorithm |
Description |
Assembly Line |
Sequenced sample rates ruction. So much fun. You should try it except for singer-songwriter material, please don’t try it with that. |
Daughter's Tiktok |
Sequenced filters, eqs and compressors morph anything into four-to-the-floor-ish beats. Try a bright pad to get a feel for it. |
Stringasm |
Turns any synth pad it into something like 1000 strings. Vari2 adds another 1000 strings. Vari3 adds more, but different. |
Automatic Theremin |
Theremin-ize anything! Vari1 chooses between the appropriately quirky beat counts of 3, 5, 7 and 9. |
Modulation Lab |
Three modulators. Vari1 selects Phasing, Flanging, Chorus or all three for irresponsibly thick modulation. |
Fragmentator |
Several sequencers gating with randomized length, pitch, filter and pan. All the way up for funky double time. |
Man Cave |
A wide, dark reverb array. Adds depth to pads, strings but also vocals. |
Nikola's Pet |
Mr. Tesla isn't quite sure himself what animal this is, but he asked you to take care of it during his trip to Siberia anyway. |
Polterguised |
Turns anything into a haunted house. The second ghost enters the house when dialing Effect all the way up. |
Duck Tails |
The Effect knob tells a story. From ducking (useful) to stepped ducking (unusual), to auto-panning (fun), to sequenced bandpass (too much). |
Sequalizer |
Imagine a rack full of equalizers and rhythmically dialling various frequencies. You'd need 12 hands for that IRL. |
Improbability Drive |
Turns any signal into an array of confused clouds. It's what you always hoped grain synthesis would sound like. |
Fairy Ultra |
Chatty fairies in the sky. Vari1 picks fifth, octave or double fifth/octave intervals above. |
Incisionist |
Turns even the most boring arpeggio into an animated beauty with more complex automation than you care to know. |
Arpeggionics |
Turns even the most boring arpeggio into an animated beauty with more complex automation than you care to know. |
Hubble's POV |
Cosmic spatial delay. Vari1 chooses various patterns that will never repeat. Unless you write songs in 7 or 15 time signatures. |
Pizzicatissimo |
Rooms, envelopes and rather irresponsible dynamics and EQ give this echo line a pizzicato-like quality. |
Multiverse |
A rack full of reverbs that all constantly change their length, color, damping and reflection depth. Instant complex soundscapes. |
Growler |
Gritty reverb apocalypse that growls up note transitions. Only the elites know to add reverb first and then distortion. |
Bonham's Booth |
This delay is not perfectly clean and slightly off time. But in its slightly-off-time way, it will adapt to any host BPM. |
Level 0 |
Mad professors live in cellar laboratories, so this is the top floor. |
Yay! Science! |
It's good for everything, but particularly awesome for the occasional lonely piano note. |
Echo Ville |
Delay cluster, Vari1 selects pattern. Saves time with complex echos. |
Time Machine |
One straightforward reverse line by means of an inverted room. Dial up Effect for delay taps with silly patterns in ascending volume. |
Evil Twin |
Doubling with timing differences as if you had actually doubled your take. And no, it's not a glorified slapback delay. |
Ground Control |
Use on single piano notes for classic 70s sound. Adds quirky character to almost anything. |
Land Of Wonder |
Touch Wah running through an old amp. Nice for clavinet and anything funky. Vari1 for upward or downward modulation. |
Spooky Spaces |
Various tasty spring reverbs and old echos - for instruments or vocals. |
Mad Scientists |
Two very confused, nicely unpredictable echo lines that have absolutely nothing incommon with each other. |
Hit The Roads |
Two very confused, nicely unpredictable echo lines that have absolutely nothing incommon with each other. |
Surrounded Building |
Stereo widener, but a lot more brutal and in your face than those overly serious mastering tools you bought on Black Friday. |
3 Followers |
A traditional lowpass filter, a combfilter/flange hybrid and a rather unusual phase center touch-wah. |
Undo Button |
Hands the signal back to you in reverse. Turn up the Effect button for increasing density. |
Cathode Ray Tube |
Not only does this offer old broken TV speakers, Vari2 and 3 will take parts of your signal and turn them into the bad reception noise. |
Indecision |
Animated flanger-ish modulation that cannot quite decide about speed, depth, modulation center or pan position. |
Gnome Sync |
3 filters modulated by LFOs without synchronisation. Sounds trivial on bright signals; sounds like rocket science on dark ones. |
Derek's Delight |
Classic phaser-into-amp funk sound. Effect all the way up will add stereoness, Vari3 will add drive. Don't use both at the same time. |
Heavy Rotation |
Complex rotary array. It's what you would use with an organ, but it's also great with raw synth waveforms. |
Basement Lab |
Octavers sound boring without dirt. Vari1 chooses octave down, up, unison or - hilariously - all of the above. |
Tape Stop Top Up |
Makes a tape stop effect sound as dramatic as intended. Using distortion, stereo split and other goodies to make it all sufficiently epic. |
Sawteeth |
Makes anything growl. Fast volume modulation plus overdrive. Awesome on sawtooth waves. |
Stereo Mutation |
Wide and dirty delay. Has a life of its own and doesn't apologize for it. |
SiD vs. PoKEY |
Left, right and center each a slightly different type of inadequate digital signal playback. Dedicated to 80s kids and their chirping boxes. |
Ronald Reagent |
Three modulating resonant filters. The higher values of the Effect control add extra bite with some tasty overdrive in the treble band. |
Guinea Complaint |
Parallel distortion that doesn't add these annoying phase issues usually associated with parallel distortion. |
Calibration Issue |
The type of drive you get when pushing a mixing desk channel over a cliff. Great for subtle dirt and transistor sizzle. |
Peer Review |
Multiple distortions, every single one hidden behind a lowpass filter of its own. Dial down Vari1-3 for subtle custom overdrive. |
4Bit Creature |
Dynamic sample rate modulation for talkbox-like effect. Vari2 offers the full range from subtle to over-the-top. |
Autopan Heaven |
Stepped stereo autopanner. Vari1 overrides it with another stepped autopanner. Vari2 does the same. Vari3 does the same at 2x speed. |
Schroedinger's Cat |
Chaotic automated echos. Your audience will be very pleased with your level of sophistication. |
All of these complex modules aren’t only combined in FLUXX, their parameters are also
- individually assigned and scaled to FLUXXs knobs
- and often automated by Envelope Follower, Curves, or LFOs.
