unstable likes to mess around with your audio pitch, with 3 subtle pitch modulation modes to simulate the unpredictable but lovable pitch instability of an old tape machine or an analogue synth. It doesn’t only do subtle though, you can also put it in 'insane' mode if you'd rather just f**k things up.

features
- 3 modes of continuously random pitch modulation
    buzz – rapid, fuzzy modulation
    wobble – medium, jerky modulation
    drift – slow, gentle modulation
- adjustable frequency and level for each modulation mode
- master level mode to adjust overall subtlety of effect
- wet / dry mix level control
- insane mode – removes all subtlety and smacks your pitch up
- all controls mapped to midi CC values

demo VST and audio
Download demo VST (2.4 MB) - This zip contains the demo version of unstable to allow you to fully evaluate it before purchasing. It is fully functioning except you will get 1 second of silence every 10 seconds and a nag screen on start up. Manual is also included

You can also download audio demos to get a feel of what unstable can do. Both demos use 'obvious' modulation but you can make the effect much more subtle if you wish
Download unstable audio demo 1 mp3 - subtle to insane, a walk through some presets (first 4 bars are the dry audio)
Download unstable audio demo 2 mp3 - runagate old-timey track



Note for users with Multicore processors
unstable was developed using SynthEdit software version 1.016
There is a known bug with this version of SynthEdit that affects some multicore processors, although it isn't widely documented. Some users with multicore processors and certain hosts have reported issues when trying to load multiple instances of the same SynthEdit plugin. This bug is not reproducable on all systems or hosts, and may not occur on your system. If you have a multicore processor you are strongly urged to fully test the demo version of unstable on your system before purchasing.
This bug does NOT affect single core processors or single instances of a plugin
This bug only seems to apply in hosts with multi-core support
It is intended that SynthEdit 1.1 will fix this bug, but there is no planned release date. There is no guarantee that unstable can be updated on release of SE 1.1, as the compatibility between the two versions is not certain.
If you do have issues with multiple instances, there is a potential workaround. By making several copies of unstable.dll (eg unstable_1.dll, unstable_2.dll, etc) in your VST directory, your host will see each one as a different plugin and be able load one instance of each
