truc2 is a multi-effect plug-in with 4 different effect modules and two automated XY pads to modulate their levels and parameters. It is designed to add variation and movement, anywhere along the scale of subtle to overkill and is suitable for any material

The 4 effect modules are DIRT, GRAIN, RING and DELAY. The first XY pad modulates the volume/mix level of each module, whilst the second XY pad modulates any 4 of the 15 automatable parameters. Both XY pads can be moved manually and additionally automated with a variety of LFO shapes, speeds and depths

truc2 is a complete rewrite of the original from new. The main improvements over the first version are;
• Correct real-time rendering of all XY modulations
• Enhanced XY pad LFO modulation options
• XY pucks can be dragged whilst being modulated by LFO
• Graphical representation of modulations on XY pads and parameter knobs
• More dirt options
• More ring mod / pan / vol mod options
• Completely new GUI



• 4 effect modules
    • DIRT – 18 flavours of distortion, 3 types of degrading and a resonant state-variable filter
    • GRAIN – Tempo-sync Granulising with 6 envelope shapes and pitch/size/rate randomisation
    • RING – Ring modulation with LFO, 14 tones, 11 LFO waveforms, vol and pan modulation
    • DELAY – Tempo-sync delay with reverse, ping-pong and resonant LP filter
• 2 XY pads with simultaneous manual and automatic modulation
    • Modulate the effect module overall volume or wet/dry mix level
    • Modulate any 4 from 15 of the parameters in the 4 effect modules
• Tempo-sync LFO for each XY pad axis, with 16 waveforms and adjustable depth and phase
• Dragable XY pucks for manual modulation, even when automated by LFO
• Graphical representation of XY and parameter modulation to see at a glance what is automated
• 120 presets
• bonus truc2 mini plug-in
• Updated to SE 1.1

Download demo VST (2.2 MB) - This zip contains a demo version of truc2 to allow you to fully evaluate it before purchasing. It is fully featured except it has 1 second of silence every 20 seconds

Manual is also included with the demo




Here is a short video demonstrating how the XY pads in truc2 work




The demo VST is the best way to test the capabilities of truc2, however below are some audio demos to give you a taste of what it can do
The audio demos are purely truc2, no other effects or processing are used. Each demo starts with the dry audio first followed by the same with truc2 doing its stuff

truc2 audio demo 1 - blockrockin beats
truc2 audio demo 2 - drum n bass loop
truc2 audio demo 3 - twisted pad
truc2 audio demo 4 - guitar and bass noodle




Included in the download with the full version is a bonus plugin, truc2 mini

It is a 4-way cross-mixer plug-in that is the same as the centre-left panel from the full version of truc2. Instead of routing the audio to 4 hard-wired effect modules, you can route to 4 different mixer channels with your own chain of effects

It has one stereo input which is routed to all 4 outputs, at a volume level according to the XY puck position, and indicated on the horizontal bar graphs in each corner of the XY pad.

Control is exactly the same as the full version for modulation by LFO, dragging by hand and setting min% for the output volumes.

Truc mini comes with 42 presets






Here is a short video showing how truc2 mini works






truc 2.1 was updated using the latest version of SynthEdit, SE 1.1
