Leit Audio Releases Evil Clown: Free Broken Machinery Effect

Posted on by

Leit Audio has released Evil Clown, a new free creative effect plugin. It turns any sound into the broken machinery of a possessed sideshow. The plugin is available for macOS, Windows, and Linux. Moreover, it is completely free to download and use.

What Does Evil Clown Do?

Evil Clown uses three main controls to shape the audio. SNARL adds distortion and a broken-speaker edge. LURCH creates wow, flutter, and drift. CURSE introduces moving dissonant voices and resonances. These three processes work together as one coherent machine.

As a result, the effect can range from slightly warped to genuinely hostile. The plugin retains the character of the original source. It works on synths, guitars, vocals, drums, and more. Therefore, it suits many production styles.

Key Features

Evil Clown includes a MIX control for latency-matched dry/wet blending. It also features seeded, repeatable random movement. This ensures consistent playback and bouncing. Additionally, the plugin operates in mono and stereo.

The reported latency is 24 ms. It supports VST3 on all platforms and Audio Unit on macOS. For that reason, it integrates well with most DAWs.

Availability and Pricing

Evil Clown is completely free. A free Leit Audio account is required. There are no trials, subscriptions, or in-plugin activations. All current Leit Audio plugins are free to download.

You can download it from the Leit Audio website. Choose your build for macOS, Windows, or Linux. The installation is simple and quick.
