Forever 89 Visco

Visco is here: A sample-modeling drum machine from Forever 89.

Made for fluid and fast transformations of any drum sound, Visco is a new VST/AU plugin that can

model any sample you supply, freeing you from the usual limitations of working with recorded

audio.

When it comes to shaping drums, using the right samples can be the fastest way to the sound in

your head. But altering them has its limitations. On the other hand, if you use synthesized sounds,

you get all the flexibility in the world, but not everyone can design sounds without the right

expertise. Make your samples come alive with Visco — a VST/AU drum machine that can model

anysample you supply, allowing you to focus on the creative process.

Visco is equal parts designated beat maker, competent sound design tool, and live performance

drum machine. In the middle of the interface, you’ll find the blob — a malleable representation of

your sound on a 2D grid. Attached to the blob are character and shaping tools similar to modern

UI design software, such as a hand, magnet, and eraser tool, allowing you to grab, pull, and push

your sound however you please.

The included toolbox enables you to be creative and precise with sound design: bend and stretch

samples across frequency and time, merge the qualities of two sounds into one, or fine-tune any

sound to fit your mix. Each sound in Visco can consist of up to two sample sources, which you can

freely mix to find the right timbre — or use the onset of one sound and the tail of another to

create something truly unique.

Visco also offers a sequencer with note generation, a generous modulation matrix, and a capable

mixer section with high-quality effects to get you going. The performative macro section lets you

fully control your sound while on stage. Additionally, Visco can receive external MIDI and send

each sound out on separate buses for easy integration into your existing workflow.

Visco is a novel, capable, and playful way to engage with creative sound design and performance

to make your music sound more like you.
