Doppelganger — Load sound. Move dot. Print magic.

DOPPELGÄNGER

Load sound. Move dot. Print magic.

Natural motion performance · CLAP / VST3 / AU

Sound that moves with you.

One dot drives the whole instrument. Push it and audio approaches, flies past, recedes. Anchor it instead, and pull away for a spring like snapback. Real doppler pitch, proximity and air, computed at audio rate.

Four voices.
One motion.

Layers A, B, C and D each load their own sound, yet share the same flight. Stack a drone under a texture and steer everything together. Or simply crossfade between them with a single gesture.

Choose how each layer reads.

PLAY

A varispeed sampler with regions, fades and playback direction.

SCAN

A dual-axis wavescanner sweeping prepared spectral frames in real time.

GRAIN

Thirty grain spawner on a sample-accurate scheduler.

NOISE

A sample-free color morph from brown to blue, with comb and resonance.

Modulation with physics.

Eight sources: four LFOs, an envelope follower, MIDI, MASS gravity engine and a live Lorenz attractor. Drag any of them onto 40+ destinations.

Impacts, on tap.

Generate endless combinations of clicks, impacts, hits and explosions with a single tap. Then add an algorithmic hall with a shimmer field for extra sparkle.

Performed, not programmed.

Draw a motion path and replay it with your own timing. Loop, slow down or reverse it. Gate it all from a MIDI keyboard.

The Doppelganger plug-in interface: XY motion pad, four sample layers, modulator strip and bus effects
