COLLAPSE
Sound in motion. Effects in orbit. Modulation made physical.
A multi-effect with parameters that travel through 2D space — plot a path, pick a shape, watch your sound get pulled into it. Filter, drive, reverb and delay all bend to the same gravitational field.

What's Inside
Four effects. One orbit.
COLLAPSE is one plugin with four effects pulled into a shared gravitational field. Pick a path, pick a shape, pick a rate — your sound moves through it all in time. No routing, no automation lanes, no chaos.
Filter
A resonant filter that sweeps through frequency and Q in a continuous orbit. Auto-wahs, formant-shifts, vowel modulations — all driven by the path you draw, not by an LFO knob.
Drive
Saturation that breathes. Drive amount and tone shift through the orbit, so the harmonics evolve with the rhythm of your track instead of sitting static.
Reverb
A spatial reverb where size and decay are pulled along the path. Hear rooms collapse and expand in tempo, or dial it static for classic wet ambience.
Delay
A modulated delay where time and feedback orbit together. Stutter glitches, dub-style tape echoes, pitched ping-pongs — all from a single path.
Path Shapes
Three preset orbits — Circle, Line, Fig-8 — each shaping how parameters travel through the space. Or freeze the path and place the parameters anywhere by hand.
Tempo Sync
Lock the orbit speed to your DAW's tempo. 1/8 to 4 bar rates keep the modulation in time with whatever's playing, every time.
Modulation, Visualised
Watch your effects move through space.
The interactive orbit graph shows your parameters traveling in real-time. See exactly where filter cutoff, drive amount, reverb size or delay time are at any moment in the cycle. No abstract LFO knobs — just visible, physical motion.
- Drag node anchors to reshape the orbit
- Real-time parameter trail visible at all times
- See exactly which point in the cycle you're hearing
- Resizable UI — fits any workflow
Three Path Shapes
Pick how the orbit moves.
Three preset path shapes change how parameters traverse the 2D space. Circle for smooth continuous orbits. Line for back-and-forth ramps. Fig-8 for crossing trajectories that hit the same parameter zone twice per cycle. Same effect, totally different motion.
- Circle — smooth continuous orbit, classic LFO feel
- Line — back-and-forth ramps, sweep effects
- Fig-8 — crossing path, double-hit modulation
- Live shape switching without dropouts

Built for Producers
Modulation done physically. Finally.
COLLAPSE isn't another LFO with effects bolted on. It's a multi-effect designed around the idea that parameters should move through space, not jump in steps. Use it for sound design, automation replacement, drone-style ambience, or pure rhythmic chaos.
- Replaces multiple plugins in one chain
- Save your own paths as user presets
- Sample-accurate tempo sync to your DAW
- Under 2% CPU on modern systems

The Workflow
From flat sound to orbiting motion.
COLLAPSE is designed to be obvious within thirty seconds. No 50-page manual, no routing matrix to wire up. Just pick an effect, pick a path, hit play.
01
Drop COLLAPSE on your track
Bus or insert, doesn't matter — wherever you want movement. COLLAPSE works on any source and pulls under 2% CPU.
02
Pick an effect, pick a path
Filter, Drive, Reverb or Delay. Then choose the orbit shape — Circle, Line, or Fig-8. The parameters of that effect now travel along that path.
03
Sync to tempo, dial in dry/wet
Lock the orbit to your DAW tempo, blend the wet signal in via Dry/Wet, and the modulation locks to whatever you're playing.
