Lo-Fi • Vinyl • Excitement • Ambience • Groove

NoiseShaper gives you the secret sauce for lo-fi beats and exciting mixes: noise! Imagine trap melodies crackling like vintage vinyl. EDM synths that fill the speakers with high-end electricity. Drums sizzling with classic console hiss. Pianos submerged in bubbling water. Cassette house grooves, retro gear hum, broken digital textures, organic field recordings… and so much more.

Explore an expansive world of noise with mix-ready noise sources by BT, Cyclick, and InsideInfo. Layer them onto any sound in just one click – with built-in dynamic control, NoiseShaper reacts to your music, for noise that breathes with every beat. Running inside Cableguys’ ShaperBox 2 plugin, use NoiseShaper on its own or combine with other Shapers for elaborate, multilayered effects.

MAIN FEATURES

An expansive world of noise

Explore an exciting world of noise with a production-ready library crafted by BT, Cyclick and InsideInfo. Get classic synth noise, vinyl crackles, tape hiss, broken textures, organic recordings, and more.

Dynamic and alive

Forget boring static noise with no dynamics – in NoiseShaper, the noise breathes with every beat. Follow mode adds rhythmically synced sizzle. Duck mode fills the gaps with lo-fi textures.

LFO’s that you design

With Cableguys’ famous LFO drawing tools, it’s easy to target specific mix elements – for instance, add noise to just the snare in a loop. You can even design your own rhythmic noise patterns.

Runs in ShaperBox 2

NoiseShaper runs inside Cableguys’ acclaimed ShaperBox 2 effects plugin. Use it on its own, or combine with Drive, Time, Crush, Filter, Volume, Pan and Width Shapers.

Easy multiband control

Trigger the noise from up to three frequency bands. Add sizzle to just the hats in a loop, or enhance the kick drum by reacting only to bass frequencies, for example. Or go further: combine up to 3 separate noises with fully independent settings per band.

See your sound

Modulation can be hard to understand – but not with NoiseShaper. You always see exactly what’s happening with the big modulation trace, LFO graph, and spectrum view. All expandable, if needed.

Cableguys quality

Every noise is carefully mastered to balance perceived volume, dynamics, and frequency response across the entire library, so you can seek out the perfect noise without constantly tweaking the volume up and down.
