Creative multiband FX

There’s more
in that loop.

Find a different texture. Give it movement. Take it somewhere unexpected. Split any loop into low, mid and high, give each band its own effect chain, and hear what else your sound can become.

  • 3 bands
  • 9 effect slots
  • 19 modules
  • 4 morphing scenes

The listening room

Play it. Then AfterPlay it.

Solo each band to hear what AfterPlay does to it. Then bring all three back and choose which ones stay original.

AUDIO PENDING · 6 band stems (low/mid/high, dry and wet)

Low band, solo

Hear the low end on its own.

Audio pending: six dry/wet band stems. Waveform is a placeholder.

Mix and match. Keep a band original, twist the others.

Low
Mid
High

Everything stays in sync, so switching never restarts the loop. Loudness-matched. Nothing added outside AfterPlay.

The loop is good.
You’ve just heard it 80 times.

You don’t need another melody. You need to hear the one you already have differently. That’s the whole idea.

LOW band with Time Warp, Motion Filter and Grain
MID band with Time Warp, Reverse and Drift
HIGH band with Grain, Space and Orbit

Three bands. Nine slots.

Give every part its own twist.

LOW · below the first split

Keep the floor. Or don’t.

Leave the low end solid, or warp it, filter it and grain it while the rest of the loop stays put. Bass Mono keeps the bottom tight when the top gets wide.

MID · where the idea lives

Change the part people hum.

Reverse it in eighth-note chunks. Slow it to half rate. Drift it into chorus. Three slots in series, each with its own mix.

HIGH · the sparkle and the weird

Let the top get strange.

Freeze grains, throw them into space, spin them around the stereo field. The top can float while the groove stays locked.

Drag the splits

You decide where the bands are.

Move the crossover points to fit your sound. Solo, mute, bypass or lock any band while you work.

The rack

19 modules. Every one has a face.

Each module draws what it’s doing, so you can see the change before you hear it. Tap one to open it.

Beyond the rack

Set it up. Then let it move.

01 · Scenes

Four sounds. One puck.

Save four versions of your rack to the corners. Drag between them, or let Auto Move trace a figure 8 in time with your track. Choose which bands morph.

Scenes tab with four scene slots and a morphing XY pad
02 · Motion + Matrix

Draw the movement. Send it anywhere.

Four tempo-synced Motion shapes: Pulse, Swell, Ramp, Throw. Route each one to any module’s mix in the Matrix, with its own amount per slot.

Modulation matrix routing four motions to modules across bands
03 · Shapes

Change how it hits.

Punch is a transient shaper on every band: more attack, less body, or the reverse. Duck lets one band push another down, like sidechain inside a single sound. You see input, output and gain reduction as it happens.

04 · Recipes

Stuck? Roll the dice.

Recipes load a whole chain into a band in one click: Tidal Chop, Half-Time Sink, Rewind Stutter, Slow Smear, Offbeat Dive, Triplet Skip. Or press roll and let AfterPlay pick.

Recipes tab with six recipe cards and a dice roll button

How it goes

Start fast. Stay for the “wait, keep that.”

  1. 1

    Roll a recipe

    Get a direction in one click instead of an empty rack and a homework assignment.

  2. 2

    Follow your ears

    Swap a module, move a split, push a mix. Every change is visible on the module itself.

  3. 3

    Save the moment

    Store it as a scene, morph to another, and print the version you want to keep.

AfterPlay with expanded Time Warp and Space modules

“I wanted something I could open when the sound was almost there and I still wanted to play. Give me a direction fast, then let me get inside it and make it mine. That’s AfterPlay.”

Questions, answered.

What is AfterPlay?

A creative multiband effect. It splits your audio into low, mid and high bands, and each band gets three effect slots. Scenes, Motion and Recipes let you move between ideas without rebuilding the rack.

Is it an instrument or an effect?

An audio effect. Put it on any track, bus or sample you want to hear differently.

Do I need to know every control?

No. Start with a recipe or preset and change what catches your ear. The deeper controls are there when you want them.
