Kilohearts has introduced Clipper, a sleek and efficient per-sample clipping plugin that’s available as a free addition to the Kilohearts Ecosystem.
Precision Clipping with Flexible Controls
Clipper gives you control over audio peaks with razor-sharp precision. Whether you’re aiming to reduce transient peaks for headroom or push for a grittier, distorted sound, Clipper provides the right set of tools:
- Threshold – Define where clipping begins.
- In Gain – Adjust the input level before clipping.
- Knee – Apply a soft knee to smooth out harsh clipping artifacts.
- Out Gain – Set the output level after clipping.
Integration with Snapin Hosts
Clipper functions as a standalone VST, AU, or AAX plugin, but it truly shines within Kilohearts’ modular Snapin Hosts like Phase Plant, Multipass, and Snap Heap. There, it can be combined and modulated alongside other Snapins to build complex custom effects and instruments.
Lightweight and Intuitive
As part of the ever-growing Kilohearts Essentials collection, Clipper is designed with a clean and user-friendly interface, making it easy for beginners and professionals alike to start using it immediately.
Free Within Kilohearts Essentials
Clipper is included in the free Kilohearts Essentials bundle, which offers a wide array of versatile tools. Snapin Hosts and premium Snapins are available separately.
