Dragging the little patch cables around is a really simple and engaging way to do the routing. Have a single LFO controlling everything if you wish. You can keep on adding outputs to an LFO to your hearts content. you can load up to 6 modules and they also include an input follower and a sample-and-hold noise generator. Like we’ve seen in Indent the bottom of the plug-in is devoted to LFO modules that can be patched in to any other parameter. ModulateĪnd it’s the modulation engine that really brings the spice to Sandman Pro. Both these functions are now modulatable and so you can turn them on and off in some very interesting ways. Useful as both a kill switch and a halting effect. The Kill button empties the delay buffer, immediately removing the delay content. This can generate some really interesting glitchiness. The Sleep function freezes the audio in the buffer and gives control over start and end points. These are to do with manipulating the delay buffer. Two features carried over from the original are Sleep and Kill. There’s glitchiness and granular synthesis, resonators and reverb all oozing out of this one plug-in.

These modes move it from being all about delay into other modulations such as flanging and chorusing, or about pitching shifting and harmonising. The delay modes cover Classic Tape, Modern Instant, Pitch Shifter, Glitch Shifter, Multi-tap, Reverse and No Echo. But once you get the pink and black GUI up and running you know this is less of a dream and more of a nightmare in all the deliciously right ways. They give an impression of attack, of intensity and aggression that perhaps is hidden behind the name of Sandman Pro. On reflection, dreamy might not be very apt because Unfiltered Audio’s plug-ins often have a certain edge to them.
