GLITCHMACHINES ® | CATARACT | USER GUIDE V 1.0 © 2014 www.glitchmachines.com SETUP:! Unpack the GM_CATARACT .zip file and proceed to the CATARACT_INSTALLERS folder, where you will find software installers for both Mac and Windows.! We recommend that you store a backup of the original zip file in the event that you ever need to recover overwritten files, etc. Assuming you purchased this product, you can always contact us to request a new download: sales@glitchmachines.com! If you experience unusual behavior when unarchiving the Cataract .zip file on a Windows computer, do not be alarmed. Programs like WinRAR are notoriously picky about Mac archives. We recommend the free application 7zip (www.7-zip.org) for a much smoother experience when extracting archives.! After successfully running the respective installer, launch your DAW of choice and you will find the plugin in your list of Audio Unit or VST instruments, in a folder labeled “Glitchmachines”. If this isn’t the case, re-start your DAW and/or re-scan your plugins.! Windows Users : please take care to ensure that you’ve chosen the proper options during the installation dialog, where you’ll be prompted to choose the destination folders for the 32bit and 64bit versions of the plugin. In the event that the plugin does not appear in your DAW, it’s highly likely that you put both versions in the same folder in which case one of the files will overwrite the other. To remedy this, simply run the installer again and carefully select the appropriate folders for each architecture.! ! Upon first launch, Cataract will prompt you to navigate to the location that the samples folder is located. This folder can be located anywhere in your system, though it is imperative that the following file structure is retained in order for the path to be resolved: ! GM_CATARACT —> CATARACT_SAMPLES! The CATARACT_SAMPLES folder should not be moved independently (it needs to remain inside the main folder, labeled GM_CATARACT). ! Should the path ever need to be resolved again (in the event of having to move this folder), simply use Cataract’s Global Menu (M button in the Master Section) and use the “change cataract path” command to point to the folder in its new location.! We recommend that you get acquainted with the plugin by thoroughly checking out the included presets, which have been designed to showcase what the plugin is capable of. ! When you get a good sense for how things work, we recommend that you load in your own samples and utilize any of the onboard randomizers to get instant and rewarding results. ! From there, you can start your own patches from the ground up to explore the numerous ways that Cataract can fit into your workflow. For some tips on how to integrate the plugin into your projects, check out the QUICK START GUIDE and USAGE EXAMPLES sections further into this User Guide.! GLITCHMACHINES ® | CATARACT | USER GUIDE V 1.0 © 2014 www.glitchmachines.com CATARACT DESCRIPTION:! ! Cataract is a Segment Multiplexer plugin geared toward electronic music production and experimental sound design. Cataract features an arsenal of sample scanners with integrated modulation sequencers and morphing functions. This makes it possible to construct architecturally complex patterns ranging from nuanced percussive articulations to intricate particle sound effects and all out generative hyper glitch chaos.! ! Infinitely transform your audio files with Cataract’s extensive randomization and modulation options. Warp pitched samples into parallax melodies or redistribute loop segments into generative polyrhythms. Whether you are sculpting articulate percussion patterns for an electronic music EP or designing high-tech cyborg effects for a sci-fi game, Cataract will give your projects a unique cutting-edge twist.! ! Cataract features a dynamic, color-coded user interface that simplifies navigation and streamlines functionality. One of the plugin’s highlights is the ability to step-sequence nearly every parameter, making it possible to coordinate extremely expressive and detailed patterns. Synchronize tightly with your hosts’s clock, use your MIDI keyboard to improvise complex pattern variations in real time, or sequence precise parameter changes from within your favorite DAW. You can even utilize Cataract’s GEN functions to set up completely generative evolving phrases.! ! Cataract includes two scanners, each of which are equipped with two sample slots. Each scanner includes two LFOs, a multimode filter, a multimode delay effect, a scan sequencer with windowing and dedicated LFO, a 3-Band graphic EQ, four dedicated randomizers, five MIDI triggered save states and a dedicated modulation matrix. Globally, Cataract features a crossfade-style morph section with its own dedicated X- MOD LFO, as well as three percentage-based randomizers that facilitate consistently compelling results with relative ease.! ! To get you started, we included a collection of presets and over 130 new loops by sound designers Ivo Ivanov, Nicholas Yochum and Daed. In the interest of maximizing Cataract’s broad potential, we’ve also included a sample pack consisting of 200 brand new Foley and synth sound effects exclusively designed for this plugin by Ivo Ivanov.! ! When you’re ready to extend the plugin’s sonic palette, check out our numerous Macropacks, Libraries and FREE Nanopacks which will provide you with exciting new aural landscapes to traverse. Of course, Cataract also works with all of your existing samples. No matter what you throw at it, Cataract will inspire creativity and exploration.! ! ! ! ! GLITCHMACHINES ® | CATARACT | USER GUIDE V 1.0 © 2014 www.glitchmachines.com QUICK START GUIDE: ! ! ! This is an example of how to go about generating an evolving loop with Cataract. It is intended as a step-by-step guide that will give you the basic knowledge you need to get started using the plugin.! ! Note that we focused on making Cataract a versatile instrument that offers many workflow possibilities. These are just some basics to help you get a feel for some of the plugin’s capabilities.! ! ! Before you begin, turn on the transport in your DAW (i.e. activate “Playback”).! ! ! ! 1. START WITH ONE SCANNER MODULE :! ! • Pick 2 loops from the Cataract Loops folder and load them into the 2 slots of the blue Scanner module (left) (drag them onto the slots or choosing them from the menu).! ! • Having 2 slots for one scanner allows you to apply the same set of modulations to 2 different sound sources.
