What Cryostasis does
The plugin is built around a continuously variable freeze knob that captures the signal and lets it decay into an endless tail, with a timed auto switch that triggers the freeze in musical milliseconds. Freeze Designer exposes further controls, such as Size, that change how the frozen sound behaves, and spectral effect controls shape the character of the frozen tail. Progressive Freezing lets the audio lock gradually rather than cutting abruptly, and Filter Transitions is intended for moving between sections and for intros and outros. Cryostasis is offered as VST3, VST2, AU and AAX for Windows and macOS (64-bit), and a free trial is available.
Key features
- Freeze Designer. Controls such as Size change the shape of the freeze effect, and the spectral controls shape the character of the frozen tail.
- Slow Motion. Coupled with the built-in pitch shifter, the freeze produces a tape-stop style slowdown.
- Ambient Dreams. The Wash control diffuses the freeze into a smooth, modulated wash.
- LoFi Glitch. Built-in bit rate reducers add lo-fi texture to the processed signal.
- Smart Bypass and Sleep Silence. Smart Bypass manages bypassing, and Intelligent Sleep Silence detects when processing is unnecessary.
Compatibility
Cryostasis runs as VST3, VST2, AU and AAX on Windows 8 and later and macOS 10.10 and later, with native Apple Silicon support listed.
