Sugar Bytes Egoist

soundonsound.com

Sugar Bytes Egoist is a creative powerhouse for electronic music producers, offering a seamless blend of simplicity and functionality. Its standout features include a loop slicer, bass synth, and drum machine, all integrated with a pattern-based step sequencer that allows for quick song creation. The effects section, reminiscent of Sugar Bytes' Effectrix, adds impressive sound-shaping capabilities.

Sugar Bytes Egoist is a standout loop-slicing tool, praised for its innovative design and robust programming capabilities that invite creative sound manipulation. Its intuitive interface and extensive slicing controls make it a favorite for EDM producers seeking new sonic textures. However, the bass programming poses a challenge due to the lack of EQ features, requiring extra effort to achieve a mix-cutting sound. Overall, Egoist's strengths in sound design and versatility outweigh its minor drawbacks, offering a powerful tool for music creators looking to explore new musical dimensions.

Limited, but fast and very fun plug-in...

So, here's the deal. You get three sound-making tools: a loop slicer which automatically slices ANY piece of audio into tempo-matched chunks with envelope shaping; a TB-303-esque bass synth with a choice of filters which can do slides and legato; and a basic XoX-style drum sequencer with a choice of pre-made 'kits' like 'modular synth', 'vintage' and so on. There are lots of cool features like he ability to randomise everything with a single click (like direction and pitch and order of loop slices). The drums can be mixed and matched within a single kit and pitched to taste. The bass synth sounds good although it's limited to square and sawtooth waves. Patterns can be chained together into song-length sequences. All three instruments can be put through a sort of 'mini effectrix' effects patch on which any one effect (reverb, delay, comb filter, sample reduction, delay, tape stop etc.) can be applied on a per-step basis. The beauty of this plug in is the sheer speed with which ideas can be put together. On its own it's a bit limited, but used as the basis of a track it's got real potential, and the interface is very user-friendly.

Full featured but difficult busy interface

I have this on iPad and have never really gotten my head around it so can't really say much. It sounds great however but not really my genre of music.
