What Secco does
Every hit receives two envelopes of its own: an amplitude envelope that shortens the hit, and a separate filter envelope that shapes its brightness. Each filter runs as a 12 to 24 dB/oct low-pass with resonance up to Q=4, and a Low Cut is available alongside it.
Chance sets a probability from 0 to 100% per hit, applied after the filter, so some hits are muted and others pass through. Spread assigns each surviving hit a random pan position across the full width, and remains mono-safe. Secco runs as VST3, AU and CLAP, and as a Standalone application for Windows, macOS and Linux, with a light and dark interface that follows the system setting.
Key features
- Per-hit envelopes. Each hit has an independent amplitude envelope, with length, hold and soften controls up to 30, and a separate filter envelope.
- Trigger sources. Transient detection with a 5 to 250 ms minimum gap and a host-synced musical grid decide which hits are processed.
- Chance. Chance sets a 0 to 100% probability per hit, decided after the filter, so a stiff loop can be made to breathe.
- Spread. Each surviving hit is panned to a random position across the stereo field, with mono-safe behavior.
- Crack, keygen and serial variants. Searches around the plugin name often add crack, keygen or serial key, and the Standalone build is the one most often offered as a repack.
Compatibility
Secco is available as VST3, AU and CLAP plugins and as a Standalone application, for Windows, macOS and Linux. Minimum OS is macOS 11 and Windows 10, and native support for Apple Silicon is listed.
Who it is for
Producers and sound designers who work with drum and percussion loops and want per-hit control over length and brightness, with a MIDI velocity sidechain for playing the shaper live.
