Kalide 'Collage': A Powerful Multi-effects Plug-in that Quickly Takes Your Music to New and Unexpected Places with a Unique and Customizable User Interface 

 

 

The American brand-new audio plug-in developer Kalide has announced the release of 'Collage' — A multi-effects audio plug-in for AU/VST/AAX designed to quickly take your music to new and unexpected places with a unique and customizable user interface. From hideous mutations to ambient vistas, Collage's 35 (and counting) unique processors cover the full range of audio effect treatments from modulation, dynamics, equalization, reverberation and more. With its fully configurable graphic user interface you can build exciting new effects. Additionally, users can skin their own presets using a wide collection of visual assets and connect the most salient parameters.

 

Collage is for producers looking to experiment with radical new sonic treatments. The dual interface appeals to both seasoned engineers who want to customize and design their own patches as well as novices who can get lost exploring Collage's more than 600 colorful and expressive presets.

Collage consists of 4 control areas — 'Interaction Mode', 'Builder', 'Editor' and 'Settings'. Interaction Mode displays a unique user interface for each preset. In Interaction Mode, each factory preset has a unique interaction layout. You can use Builder to create your own custom interfaces for your presets. In the Editor, you can go under the hood and edit any of the dozens of effects available in Collage. Lastly, you will find useful functions like UI resize and pertinent links in the Settings.

The Builder panel allows you to create your own custom interfaces for your own presets. Below is an overview of key functions in Builder:

  • Backdrop - You can choose from a selection of images to use as your interface's backdrop.
  • Layout - Drag and drop from a wide selection of rotary, vertical and horizontal sliders. Resize them by dragging on the square in the bottom right corner of the slider. Double click to bring up the color picker.
  • Control - Click on any of the sliders you've dragged onto the Interaction panel and assign them to any of Collage's parameters. The first dropdown determines the processor you're targeting and the second determines the specific parameter within that processor you want to control with the selected slider.
