Plugins / Magnetar Flux

Magnetar Flux plugin window: knobs either side of a glowing ray-traced black hole set to 75% gravity

Gravity

The black hole is the main control

Drag it up and down to pull up to 36 dB of drive into the core. Auto gain keeps the level steady, so more gravity sounds dirtier, not just louder.

It's ray-traced for real. Light bends around it and the stars behind smear into arcs. It spins faster and burns brighter the harder you push, and SPAGHETTIFY, HAWKING and WORMHOLE each bend, break or ripple the disc so you can see what you hear.

The core

Three ways to destroy a bass

Switch at any time. The change fades smoothly with no clicks.

Neutron

Tight, hard clipping that stays focused under pressure.

Neuro · Tearout

Plasma

Asymmetric tube growl that makes basses talk.

Dubstep · Talking basses

Gamma

Foldback and rectifier for metallic, octave-up grit.

Jungle · Grime · FX

Signal flow

Your sub never goes missing

A crossover splits the sound at the EVENT HORIZON (30 to 400 Hz). The sub stays clean and mono. Only the band above it goes into the black hole, oversampled 4× by default and time-aligned with the sub.

Modulation

Eight LFOs. Drag them anywhere.

PULSAR and QUASAR give you four LFOs each, synced from 4 bars down to 1/32 or free in Hz. Drag the crosshair onto any knob, or onto the black hole itself. A coloured ring shows how far it moves, with up to 32 routes.

TIDE follows the loudness of your bass, so growls open up on the hits. Put PULSAR on VOWEL for instant yoys.
