The Collective 8 Audio Unit Bundle features three unique plugins: F8-V2, Mod8, and Res8, each designed to enhance audio production with complex amplitude modulation capabilities. The core concept involves splitting the audio input into eight identical streams, allowing individual amplitude modulation patterns to be applied to each. These patterns can be freely drawn and edited in an intuitive environment that appears when hovering over them, making it easy to customize the modulation shapes. Each stream can also be processed with filters or effects before being blended back into a cohesive output.

F8-V2 offers LFO-based modulation targeting highpass, bandpass, or lowpass filters, delivering dynamic tonal shifts. Res8 provides a choice between driven, nonlinear multi-stage filters and formant filters, individually adjustable for each stream to create rich harmonic textures. Mod8 expands creative options with modulation effects such as vibrato and ring modulation, complemented by echo, reverb, sub-octave, and pitch shifting capabilities. These diverse tools enable deep sound shaping and experimental effect design within a single bundle.

This bundle allows up to eight parallel effects running simultaneously, each with unique settings and modulation sequences, enabling intricate layering that results in complex, evolving soundscapes. From subtle chorus and textured reverbs to wild, experimental effects, the Collective 8 Audio Units provide a broad sonic palette. Hundreds of presets are included to jumpstart creativity, and amplitude modulation patterns can be easily copied and pasted within and between plugins for flexible workflow integration.
