Cryostasis offers a unique spectral inertia effect that progressively smears audio until it is frozen indefinitely in time. This effect is controlled through a freeze knob that allows continuous variation or an automatic mode that can be timed to milliseconds or musical measures. The plugin includes spectral effects and parameters that shape the character of the frozen tail, enabling creative manipulation of sound textures and ambient layers.

The plugin’s diverse controls allow you to tailor the freeze effect extensively. Adjusting the Size parameter changes the spectral window length, resulting in sounds ranging from robotic to smooth and atmospheric. Additional features include a built-in pitch shifter for tape-stop style slowdowns and a frequency shifter for dissonant risers and downshifts. The Wash control adds a modulated reverb tail to create lush ambient soundscapes, while Bit and Rate reducers introduce LoFi glitch textures, perfect for experimental sound design.

Cryostasis is designed for seamless integration and ease of use, featuring a photorealistic GUI with adjustable size to match any workflow. It supports 64-bit audio processing at any sampling rate, ensuring top-quality sound. Smart bypassing prevents clicks and syncs latency, while intelligent sleep mode conserves CPU resources when not processing audio. The plugin offers hassle-free activation without dongles or internet access and includes free lifetime updates along with a 15-day unrestricted trial to fully explore its capabilities.
