This is a formant filter which simulates the characteristics of the human voice. If you’re feeling cheesy, this one’s for you and it’s a freebie by the way. You can even map your MIDI controls to this plugin to control all of the effects in real-time like on a synth. The EVOLVE knob uses multiple pitch-shifting delays for each band of the multi band-pass filters and it creates some out-of-this-world effects. Frohmage features a low-pass filter, multiple band-pass filter and a distortion stage and it can really transform your tracks. It’s designed to be dirty, warm and can add some serious colour to your signal. If you disregard all of this you’re getting a really decent resonant filter. The name itself sounds cheesy! But a side from the name the UI itself is all cheesy and weird looking. For 50 EUR you’re getting a lot of fun here.

Weirdly enough you can get some really inspiring and awesome results. The Mutate function is our favourite because it really randomizes each effect into something completely unexpected. Since Glitch features a multi-lane editor, you can trigger and tweak these effects in real-time. There’s a whole bunch of FXs here such as randomizer, modulator, tape stop, retrigger, reverser, stretcher, LoFi, distortion, gater and delay. This is a Swiss army knife for slicing, dicing, screwing, twisting, turning and mangling your sounds. This is technically a step sequencer but what’s unique about it is the fact that it doesn’t trigger sampled sounds. Let’s just simply jump into the craziness, here is our top 10 list of weird VST plugins in no particular order. What does it take to be on our list of weird plugins? We either judge the straight-up weirdness of the GUI or the sound shaping capabilities. We all have that one plugin that we load up when we’re in need of something extraordinary or simply crazy. Each family as well as each group of friends has that one weird guy doing some rather ubiquitous things which are straight up weird and that’s the case with plugin developers.
