Three bands, LR4.
A phase-coherent LR4 crossover splits the signal; each band glitches independently.
Stutter / freeze FX · Pay what you want
A zero-latency stochastic stutter and freeze effect that turns static audio into evolving, organic textures. Retro CRT interface included.
// core behaviour
Three independently glitched bands, probabilistic sequencing, and click-free capture.
A phase-coherent LR4 crossover splits the signal; each band glitches independently.
Probabilistic sequencing and a walk system keep back-to-back stutters off the grid.
Captures bias toward low-energy regions, so glitches don't click.
// controls
Four controls. Chaos goes from shimmer to full spectral meltdown.
| Parameter | What it does |
|---|---|
| Chaos | 0–100 — stutter intensity (Tame · Shift · Fracture · Melt) |
| Lo-Fi | 0–100 — bit reduction, decimation, companding, tilt EQ (Clean · Warm · Grain · Crush) |
| Tempo | Host-sync, or free-run 20–300 BPM |
| Power | True hard bypass for instant signal recovery |

Just tried it and blown me away. The best of its kind since the old 32bit buffer override.
Really interesting for freezing the sound and creating dark, industrial ambient music with a vintage lo-fi vibe.
Thanks to cloph-dsp for this cool effect plugin. Try or buy it… You can't lose!
Great.

A zero-latency stochastic stutter and freeze effect with a three-band glitch engine in a retro CRT interface. Pay what you want.
Freeze95 from cloph-dsp is a zero-latency stochastic stutter and freeze effect designed to transform static audio into evolving, organic textures. Housed in a retro CRT interface inspired by 90s computer crashes, the plugin uses a three-band glitch engine to add unpredictable motion to your tracks.
The Engine
The plugin dynamically splits your signal using a phase-coherent LR4 crossover. Each of the three frequency bands is independently glitched using randomized capture, reverse, slow-mo, and granular algorithms. Under the hood, probabilistic sequencing and a "walk" system ensure back-to-back stutters never lock into a mechanical grid.
