Kilohearts has recently introduced Clipper, a powerful per-sample clipping plugin that is now part of the free Kilohearts Essentials collection. This plugin is designed to provide you with precise control over audio peaks, whether you’re looking to reduce transient peaks for more headroom or to create a grittier, distorted sound. Clipper is available as a standalone VST, AU, or AAX plugin, but it truly excels when used within Kilohearts’ modular Snapin Hosts such as Phase Plant, Multipass, and Snap Heap. Here, it can be combined and modulated alongside other Snapins to build complex custom effects and instruments.
Clipper is included in the free Kilohearts Essentials bundle, which offers a wide array of versatile tools. The plugin features a clean and user-friendly interface, making it accessible for both beginners and professionals. Key features of Clipper include the ability to apply a soft knee to smooth out harsh clipping artifacts, set the output level after clipping, and define where clipping begins. These features provide you with the flexibility to tailor the audio output to your specific needs.
To get started with Clipper, you can visit the Kilohearts website and download the Kilohearts Essentials bundle. This will give you access to Clipper and other powerful tools within the ecosystem. Whether you’re a seasoned audio professional or just starting out, Clipper offers the tools you need to enhance your audio projects with precision and creativity.
