Seeq-One

Sound accompanies almost everything, be it a simple audio background, or various movie, and video game effects. Given the right set of software components, these can be build without the need to plug in any real instruments. On set of effects to come in handy is Seeq-One, a VST plugin with an abundance of filters, and effects.

Since it’s a VST plugin, it requires no actual installation, and can be stored on a thumb drive along with your entire collection. However, you do need to have a suitable host application to load it in, such as VSTHost.

The package contains two sets of filters, but it’s best to use one at a time, because they’re rather similar in set of features. Both of them start to generate oscillations on specific notes and octaves, so it’s a good idea to leave them running for a second or two before pressing any keys.

On the one hand, there’s the Slow Acid plugin, with a more refined control panel. Three effect layers can be used, such as filter decay, glider, as well as octave and note, each with a variety of sliders to set frequency. You don’t have to use all bands, but the more are active, the higher the variety of oscillations.

Additional knobs can be handled to control overall effects and tones. General cut, resonance, and depth can easily be set. Similar knobs can also be used on trigger, oscillation on three levels, vibrato, attack and release, LFO router, and cross decay.

On the other hand, Slow Start is the second plugin, which works in a rather similar way. However, this one is fitted with five different, fully adjustable sequencers. A three-level oscillator can be configured through waveform selection, volume, fine tune, octave, and note knobs. Similar effects can be applied, such as two LFO routers, two decay effects, a five-band equalizer, channel delay, and soft distortion.

All things considered, we come to the conclusion that Seeq-One is a powerful VST plugin, with a ton of configurable knobs, and effects. It comes with two different oscillator packs, each with various filters, and sequencers to help you generate psychedelic, or binaural beats for your musical composition projects.
