Equal parts designated beat maker, competent sound design tool, and live performance drum machine — Visco is a VST/AU plugin that can model and manipulate any sample you supply, freeing you from the usual limitations of working with recorded audio.
DUAL-PURPOSE DRUM AND SYNTH ENGINE
As a self-contained music machine, Visco has everything you need to get going.
Turn any sample into a synthesized counterpart, free from the usual limitations of recorded audio.
With version 2, Tonal Mode is now part of Visco.
This mode allows you to play any sound chromatically across the keyboard, transforming Visco into a synthesizer.
Built for producers and sound designers alike, Tonal Mode adds another layer of expression to your workflow without changing the way you work.
CHARACTER & SYNTH PARAMETERS
Play with time, frequency, timbre, velocity, and more to create subtle and not-so-subtle variations.
MODULATION MATRIX
Bring your idea to life with expansive modulation options.
STEP SEQUENCER
Develop ideas swiftly or use the randomize button for inspiration.
MIXER AND EFFECTS SECTION
Finalize your idea and ensure it aligns with the broader context.
PRESETS AND SOUND LIBRARY
Get inspired from the get-go with included presets and sounds.
Reviews
“Visco 2.0 turns the boundary-pushing drum machine into a polysynth – and makes one of last year’s best plugins even more of a must-try”
Music Radar
“…a wild, completely reimagined drum machine. […] There are so many beautiful ideas built in here. Visco sounds great and is very inspiring to use.”
Synth Anatomy
“With this tool, samples can be altered in ways that were previously impractical. It really intrigues me a lot. A Swiss knife for sound design and strongly advised!”
SOR
“It almost feels like you can shape samples with your hands to make new sounds, or mix or morph them with other sounds.”
Gear News
“From the remarkable results of its ability to re-synthesise audio files, […], Visco presents its users with a wonderfully original and experimental approach to drum programming.”
Rekkerd
Visco is centered around the blob — a malleable representation of your sound on a 2D grid. With tools similar to modern UI design software, including a hand, magnet, eraser tool, plus a crossfader, you can grab, pull, push, and blend your sound however you please.
Use Visco to bend and stretch samples across frequency and time, meld the qualities of two sounds into one, or fine-tune any sound to fit your mix.
