independent development teams federation United Plugins is proud to announce availability of Cyberdrive from founding partner JMG Sound — suitably billed as the ultimate plug-in engineered to transform anyone’s music with unparalleled  power and flexibility, offering a rich palette of sound possibilities ranging from subtle warmth to crushing chaos to make it the go-to-tool for  producers seeking to push the creative envelope — as of August 27… 

Unleash the power of distortion 

Cyberdrive’s creative envelope-pushing heart is effectively powered by its three identical DIST modules, each of which allow multiple combinations  of distortion to be mixed together so users can craft a unique distortion profile. Put it this way: with each module featuring a powerful filter system, it  is possible to fine-tune the resultant distortion’s tone and character with HP (high-pass), LP (low-pass), and multi-band crossovers to ensure a  precise and controlled sound… always. Additionally, each distortion features dedicated gain-compensated MIX — controls the dry/wet mix — and  DRIVE — controls the amount of level going into the distortion — knobs with which users can quickly dial in the perfect balance. 

A multiverse of distortion models 

Cyberdrive comes with 64 distortion types arranged across eight distinct categories: CLASSIC — emulates the warmth and character of  analogue hardware, from tubes to tape; MODERN — made for exploring dynamic distortions and wave-folding using cutting-edge  techniques like multi-band companders; PIXEL — injects digital chaos with bit-crushing, rate reduction, and glitch effects; SHAPE — sculpts  sounds with wave-shaping techniques like rectify and asymmetric clipping; AMP — ably channels the power of acclaimed guitar and bass  amplifiers; PEDAL — perfectly captures the essence of iconic guitar pedals; DOOM — pushes limits with extreme custom distortions that go  hard; and FREAK — allows for experimenting with avant-garde techniques like ring modulation, FM (frequency modulation), and spectral  synthesis. All are meticulously designed to offer a spectrum of sonic possibilities, while the CONTROL knob allows for further fine-tuning of  the resultant distortion by adjusting parameters unique to each model, providing precise control over the user’s desired sonic signature. 

Cyberdrive capably creates everything from subtle enhancements to wild, screaming feedback effects when harnessing the versatility of the  FEED module. Indeed, it features various delay modes such as FREE SHORT, FREE LONG, SYNC STRAIGHT, SYNC DOTTED, SYNC  SIXTEENTHS, PITCH FREE, and PITCH DETECTED, allowing users to perfectly time the feedback as they see fit. Furthermore, the envelope  follower — FOLLOW — adds dynamic modulation, enabling ducking or matching the shape of the feedback signal based on the input level.  Thanks to an ability to send feedback into its own input or include other modules inside its feedback path, the FEED module allows for  exploration of uncharted sonic territories. 

Comprehensive FX arsenal 

Cyberdrive creatively elevates productions with an extensive range of FX modules, each designed to provide precise control and perfectly  complement distortions, including DYNAMICS — tames or unleashes any sound with compression, gating, and transient shaping; TONE — shapes  the frequency content with EQs and filters, shaping the mix with precision; MOTION — adds movement with modulation effects like chorus,  flanger, and tremolo; PROFILE — transforms audio with resonant effects, including cabinet simulators and metalizers; and SPACE — crafts  lush soundscapes with time-based effects such as reverb, delay, and diffusion. Designed intuitively, each module puts depth, speed, and  creative freedom at anyone’s fingertips. 

Embrace the unexpected 

An advanced randomisation feature allows Cyberdrive users to break away from routine. Randomise the entire plug-in or specific sections  thereof to effortlessly spark creativity with the freedom to explore without limits courtesy of an ability to undo any changes. 

Total control over the signal flow 

Finally, the ROUTING ORDER section puts Cyberdrive users in complete control of their signal chain, allowing them to tailor the plug-in to  their exact needs by dragging and dropping modules to reorder processing stages or double-clicking to disable them. The ROUTING ORDER  section ensures anyone’s workflow is as smooth as possible, in other words — whether experimenting with complex routings or auditioning  individual modules. 

Key features: 

• Three advanced distortion units — DIST 1, DIST 2, and DIST 3 
• 64 distortion types in eight categories 
• Powerful FEED (feedback) module 
• Additional effects section (routable in any order)
