FRCTL has released SWRL, a movement effect plugin that runs six parallel DSP characters to add depth, space, and motion to any sound.
Instead of stacking separate chorus, reverb, tremolo, and saturation plugins, SWRL blends six effects, called characters, into one cohesive signal chain that runs together.
The 6 Characters:
- Drift – Chorus-based movement.
- Wash – Reverb and space.
- Orbit – Spatial modulation.
- Flutter – Tremolo and amplitude movement.
- Pulse – Rhythmic gating.
- Heat – Saturation and warmth.
Key Features:
- Individual amount control per character.
- Adjustable rate and stereo width.
- Crossover filters (HP/LP).
- Built-in spectrum analyzer.
- Reactive visualization.
- Automatic gain compensation.
What It’s Good For:
- Adding life to static synths, pads, and loops.
- Creating evolving textures without complex routing.
- Thickening vocals, guitars, or drums with layered movement.
- Sound design for film, games, and electronic music.
Pricing & Availability
SWRL is available for $19.99 for macOS, Windows and Linux in VST3, AU, and CLAP plugin formats.
A free version, SWRL Lite, is also available with the same engine simplified to two controls (Amount and Mix) driving all six characters at once.
