sizeplate size: turned up it is a big, dark plate (fundamental down to about 150 hz), turned down a small, bright one (up to about 590 hz).

splashhow strongly energy cascades up from the struck modes into the high modes.

bloomnonlinearity threshold and curve. low settings give a gentle bloom; fully up it is about 11 db stronger, though still a faint shimmer under the struck modes.

decaymodal q and tail length, from a q of about 52 to about 105; fully up rings about twice as long as fully down.

tiltbrightness of the strike into the plate's low modes, from dark to nearly even. fully down the highest struck mode is hit about 12 db below the lowest; fully up, about 3 db below.

mixdry/wet balance. fully down is dry only; fully up is the effect alone.

§ every control

what each knob does

Six controls, no menus. Here they are on the panel itself.

§ built-in modulation

it modulates itself

Audrey's Architect ships with the full CV/logic modulation section every Tangle standalone carries. Two slots, each running one of six modulators: pick one from a slot's tabs, drag a patch cable onto any knob, and that control moves on its own, no DAW automation required. Both slots can run the same kind, each its own copy, and slot 2 can be switched off.

lfoSmooth cyclic movement: sine, triangle, square, sample & hold, or a shape you draw.

curveA looping contour you draw by hand: smooth, spiked or stepped.

noiseStepped, smoothed or slewed randomness for texture and wander.

transientListens for hits, then fires a trigger plus an envelope on every transient it hears.

env followTracks how loud you are playing and turns that into a control voltage.

timingSpreads hits as evenly as possible across a bar, so rhythms land musically instead of bunched.

§ always recording

it keeps what you just played

A rolling capture strip runs beneath the panel, always recording the plugin's output. No transport, nothing to arm. Played something great while you were just tweaking? Click-drag across the history waveform to select it, then drag the slice straight into your DAW timeline.

ARM flips it to ring-capture for hands-free takes.

§ one purchase, two plugins

it unlocks in tangle too

Audrey's Architect is a module from Tangle, the free cable-patchable rack. Buying it here licenses both: this standalone plugin, and audrey's architect unlocked inside the rack, where you can patch it into any other module you own. There is no second purchase and no upgrade path; the rack itself costs nothing.

Sign in once in the rack and your licences follow your account: a module bought this morning appears at the next licence check, on every machine you install on.
