HZE Pedal Series Volume 1

PEDAL SERIES is a collection of software effects presented in a stompbox pedal format, designed specifically for unconventional and creative audio processing on Mac. The bundle includes eight distinct effects that unlock a wide range of possibilities for inventive sound design work in music production and professional sound design workflows.

The HZE Pedal Series Volume 1 brings together effects covering delay, pitch shifting, reverb, looping, granular processing, phasing, tape emulation, and spectral manipulation. Each effect is crafted as an individual pedal featuring a meticulously detailed visual design and its own unique sonic character and personality.

• BACKVERSE — a reverse delay effect that plays audio backwards in real time. It continuously captures the last four seconds of incoming audio and allows you to "freeze" them, slow them down, shift the pitch, and play them in reverse direction. Ideal for building atmospheric intros, creating unusual transitions, and generating evolving moving textures in your Mac sessions.

• BITSTREAM — an experimental processing effect that combines audio bit-crushing into tiny fragments, digital distortion, and frequency filtering. It enables you to create fluid, glitchy, and lo-fi textures — ranging from subtle digital artifacts and gentle degradation to radically destroyed and deconstructed sonic results.

• CHAOS PATTERNS — a powerful tool for generating broken rhythms, stutters, and glitch effects. It captures fragments of audio and replays them at varying speeds, in different directions, and with adjustable delay, producing chaotic, constantly evolving and shifting rhythmic structures.

• DREAMPHASE — an atmospheric effect designed for crafting airy, psychedelic sonic spaces. It merges modulation, delay, reverb, and phasing together, allowing you to quickly achieve lush, "dreamlike" sounds — from gentle shimmering and soft movement to dense, swirling rotating textures. The HZE Pedal Series Volume 1 plugin excels at creating these immersive soundscapes.

• EXPLORER — an effect built for creating deep and expansive sonic landscapes. It combines granular processing, delay, and spatial effects to add a profound sense of emptiness, vast distance, and cosmic scale to any audio source you feed through it.

• LOOPBOX — a dual-channel instrument for recording and manipulating audio loops in real time. It lets you time-stretch sounds, alter pitch, introduce tape-like wobble and instability, and apply signal filtering. Perfect for live performance experiments, layering sounds, and transforming musical phrases creatively on your Mac.

• STEPSHIFTER — an effect for altering pitch and playback speed of your audio signal. It operates in multiple distinct modes, covering a full range of two octaves up and down, and is complemented by a delay with a warm analog character and tone. Excellent for sharp dramatic transitions and expressive tonal transformations in any production context.

• SUPERCOLOR — an effect that faithfully emulates VHS tape degradation and decay. It adds characteristic noise, warm saturation, and playback instability, producing a vintage lo-fi aesthetic — from a subtle patina of age and gentle wear to heavy distortions and a completely "falling apart" disintegrating signal.
