Soundghost certainly make relatively simplelooking plugins, but they also seem to be highly, er, effective. Scatter is their latest release, and creates random granular sounds from the audio you supply. The results are complex soundscapes, shimmering ambience and deep textures. “Shape, pitch and reverse the scattered grains,” Soundghost say, and then add, probably in a slightly whimsical way, “and send them into space”. Which is easily enough to persuade us to do a review, so we’ll have one soon. Scatter costs £49, although you might just catch 20% off online. https.soundghost.net
