edited kiloHearts Compressor
Added item description.
Before:
After:
Someone somewhere once said that there are 931 compressor plugins in the world. Well, now there's 932!
A compressor will even out the audio volume by lowering the volume when the signal is loud. This helps shape the dynamics of the sound both at the initial attack and the sustain tail. Each compressor has their own flavor, and the kHs Compressor tastes sweet.
Attack knob The attack time is the time it takes to lower the volume when the input volume is over the threshold.
Release knob The release time is the time it takes to return the volume to normal when the input volume is under the threshold.
Mode In RMS mode the compressor will measure the volume using the root mean square method, which gives an accurate measurement of audio power. In peak mode the compressor will follow the peaks in the audio waveform, which makes it more responsive to transients.
Ratio knob The ratio decides how much the compressor will reduce the audio volume. At 1:2, for example, the volume will be lowered until it is halfway between the input volume and the threshold.
Threshold knob The threshold for when the compressor will start lowering the volume.
Makeup knob The makeup gain will increase the volume of the output signal to compensate for the loss in overall volume that the compressor causes.
VU Meter Displays the current input level, the selected threshold, and the compressor's current attenuation.
Mix knob The dry/wet mix of this effect. A lower value will let some of the unmodified signal through.
Settings panel Whenever you have your mouse cursor over a snapin there is a small arrow at the top right corner (not visible in screenshot). It opens a settings panel where you handle presets.
It also has a "randomize" button that can be useful. I guess...
Enabled checkbox The small checkbox to the left of the plugin name is a checkbox that bypasses the effect when disabled.
Resize handle The bottom right corner of all Kilohearts plugins is a resize handle for scaling the UI to any size. This allows you to get a good view of the controls whatever the screen resolution, and also comes in handy if you need big controls, e.g. when using Compressor as a real-time effect on a touchscreen monitor during a live set. (This is not available when the snapin is used inside a snapin host.)
edited kiloHearts Comb Filter
Added item description.
Before:
After:
The Comb Filter hollows out the sound by carving out frequencies at each multiple of the base frequency, like the teeth of a comb.
The Comb Filter will mix the signal with a delayed version of itself, creating a filter with repeated troughs and peaks across the spectrum.
It's also possible to process left and right differently in a way that not only gives a wide stereo effect, but also collapses right back to the original signal when mixed to mono. Nifty!
Cutoff display Cutoff setting for the filter, the distance between each peak.
Polarity The polarity setting swaps troughs for peaks and vice versa, with the plus setting having a peak at 0 Hz, and the minus setting a trough at 0 Hz.
Stereo The stereo setting flips the polarity setting for the right channel, allowing the the comb filter to be used for mono compatible stereo widening.
Mix knob The dry/wet mix of this effect. A lower value will let some of the unmodified signal through.

edited kiloHearts Chorus
Added item description.
Before:
After:
The Chorus enhances the stereo effect and presence of a sound by mixing it with delayed versions of itself. It's like your own personal choir!
Delay knob The average delay for the delayed voices.
Rate knob The frequency of how fast to vary the delay.
Depth knob How much to vary the delay.
Spread knob Stereo width of the effect. A lower value will go towards a mono output.
Taps The number of chorus voices.
Mix knob The dry/wet mix of this effect. A lower value will let some of the unmodified signal through.

Improved item description.
Before:
When nostaliga hits, Bitcrush can bring you back to the digital hardware of times past. It simulates the audio being played back using a low quality sampler with limited sample rate and bit depth. Mm, crunchy.
The Bitcrush can be used to create distorting effects that sound like that of scraping analog radio, or inherently lo-fi sound sources, like old video games.
Rate display Down sample the signal to a minimum of 200 Hz.
Bits knob Quantize the amplitude of each sample of the signal. A lower value will result in a more distorted sound.
ADC Q knob Quality of the analog-to-digital conversion. A lower value will add dissonant aliasing in the low frequencies.
DAC Q knob Quality of the digital-to-analog conversion. A lower value will add dissonant aliasing in the high frequencies.
Dither knob Adds noise to the signal in order to reduce distortion caused by quantization.
Mix knob The dry/wet mix of this effect. A lower value will let some of the unmodified signal through.

Improved item description.
Before:
KiloHearts Webpage Kilohearts' filters are always awesome, and stacking them together to create a quick 3-band EQ just made them even easier to use.
3-band EQ will get you surprisingly far when it comes to shaping your sound, or your entire song. By dragging the split frequencies around it feels like much more than a standard 3-band equalizer.
Low Set the gain of the low frequencies. Mid Set the gain of the frequencies in between the low and high threshold. High Set the gain of the high frequencies.
Spectrum split lines Drag the lines to set the low and high frequency thresholds.

A truly modern parametric equalizer, Slice EQ cuts, or enhances, frequencies with surgical precision using razor sharp digital filters up to 96 dB/oct.
Slice EQ is an advanced parametric equalizer, with great modulation potential. Especially when combined with Snap Heap
Slice EQ offers you everything you need to create mathematically perfect filter combinations to get your music exactly where you want it to go.
• Perfect sound Slice EQ won't let anyone down soundwise. Using top of the line, digitally clean filters it will give you a crisp result every time.
• Workspace layout With a recognizeable workspace layout the Slice EQ user interface makes sure you will quickly find your way to all the features.
• Really fast! All Kilohearts plugins get the job done quickly. That way you can stack them high without worrying about performance issues.
• Download & install Once your purchase has gone through you will get an email with installation instructions. With our custom installer it couldn't be easier.
• Size does matter The Slice EQ workspace is freely resizable and you can set the UI scale to match your preference. This can be very handy at times.
• Snapin compatible Slice EQ works with our excellent Snapin hosts. Check out Snap Heap for instance.
