Drop the Sample Rate and Delay time while Sandman is asleep, and you now have granular synthesis at your fingertips. Long Delay values can produce beat-repeats or stutter effects, while shorter values turn Sandman into what is essentially a wavetable synthesizer the Start and End times can even overlap each other, reversing your sample by up to 100%. With SLEEP, you can ‘freeze’ audio at a point in time to create a loop based on the Delay value, allowing you to adjust the sample Start and End points. Sandman’s namesake is its unique SLEEP button - the hub for the granular wonders that lay in wait. The Sample Rate parameter can add vintage grime or completely decimate a sound by directly lowering the sample rate of the DSP engine an adjacent Dirt switch gives you the loving character of a lo-fi recording. Use these standard features for flanging, comb filtering, or adding string-like texture to percussive sounds. From the input of just a single sample, Sandman opens a Pandora’s box of endless sonic possibilities.Īt first glance, Sandman offers the most basic parameters found on a delay plugin – host synch-able Delay Time and ping-pong feedback, along with a wet/dry mix and a filter for good measure. It’s a new way to extract loops and grains from a sound that can be as close to or as far flung from the original, as you like. It’s a deceptively simple gateway to a microcosm of sonic dimensions bordering the absurd.

The Unfiltered Audio Sandman is far more than just a delay plugin it’s a wormhole to the dreamtime states of your sounds.
