Infuse your sound with dynamic digital textures and movement using audio-rate modulation. FAC Fizzica extends FAC Punchlab's Fizz module, maintaining its intuitive design while introducing advanced features for extensive sound shaping.

FAC Fizzica is your go-to solution for achieving a vintage lo-fi aesthetic and enhancing audio by adding digital noise artifacts that dynamically respond to your audio input. Ideal for refining basslines, pads, drum loops, and any elements requiring organic and expressive transformations.

The plugin offers dynamic expression thanks to its envelope follower, an essential processor in sound design that effectively transforms static sounds into dynamic motion. The envelope follower can monitor the audio input, the sidechain input, a dedicated automatable parameter, or a MIDI CC message. You can adjust the modulation depth for each controlled parameter, precisely controlling how the envelope affects them.

To provide a wide variety of textures and timbres, the plugin offers several models. The noise models introduce noisy artifacts, while the sine and triangle models enhance harmonic and tonal richness reminiscent of FM synthesis or RM modulation. The final models allow the use of either the internal or external audio signal (sidechain) as a modulator to affect your carrier signal, offering an interesting method to subtly blend the characteristics of one sound with another.

Another standout feature of FAC Fizzica is the sideband control, which adjusts the balance between the processed signal and the isolated sidebands generated by the audio rate modulation. At maximum, only the sidebands are audible! Additionally, a built-in low-pass filter refines the tonal color of the digital textures.

The workflow is optimized for simplicity and intuitiveness, featuring a central XY control pad for precise control, accompanied by a detailed visual representation of the envelope signal and all the modulations. Additionally, a spectrum viewer displays the audio output, providing clear visual feedback as you craft your audio to perfection.

The plugin comes with two extensions, both audio effects, but the second one also supports MIDI input to control the main frequency and the filter cutoff with MIDI notes, as well as the envelope follower with MIDI CC messages.

This is an AUv3 Effect and requires a compatible host to work
