§ what it does

backwards noise reduction

Noise reduction run backwards. It detects whatever is steady and pitched, treats that as the interference, and strips it out, leaving the noise and breath it would normally protect.

RESIDUE crossfades from what is kept to what is thrown away, from everything around the pitched skeleton to the skeleton itself. Fully down, the skeleton is still there, about 15 dB under the rest. SIEVE sets how hard it works, SPEED runs from slow smearing to chattering, LEAK loosens the notches into a wander, and ENGINE chooses between removing steady beds and hunting individual partials.

It runs the same DSP as the module in Tangle; nothing is cut down for the standalone version. One licence covers both: this plugin, and the same module unlocked inside the rack.

§ every control

what each knob does

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

sieveSets how hard the cleaner works. In notch mode it is the notch depth; in spectral mode it is how much of the noise floor is subtracted.

speedAdaptation speed. Slow settings smear the cleaner's decisions across seconds; fast settings chatter in notch mode and pump musical noise in spectral mode.

leakCoefficient leak. Turning it up makes the notches shallow and wandering; in spectral mode it raises the artefact floor.

residueCrossfades between what the cleaner keeps and what it throws away. Low settings give what it keeps, the breath and attacks, with what it removes mixed in about 15 dB lower when fully down; high settings give what it removes, the pitched skeleton.

enginePicks the cleaner. Spectral tracks each frequency's noise floor and subtracts it, with about 21 ms of latency; notch is an adaptive predictor that removes anything periodic, with no latency.

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

§ built-in modulation

it modulates itself

Lost Property 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

Lost Property is a module from Tangle, the free cable-patchable rack. Buying it here licenses both: this standalone plugin, and lost property 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.
