caelum audio flux mini cm

The lovely folk at Caelum Audio have created a bespoke plugin just for Computer Music readers. Here’s how to download and use it!

Caelum Audio are relatively new to the world of plugin creation, having produced great tools like Beef, Schlap, Tape Pro and Flux Mini over the last couple of years. Their design is very much focused on ease of use – indeed they tell us on p8 that “If we can make a plugin that simplifies a complex process so users have more time for creativity, then we’ve met our goals”. Flux Mini CM embodies that philosophy. It’s a bespoke version of their free plugin Flux Mini but, not only comes with an additional Pan modulation control, but also a whole bunch of extra presets, demonstrating just how much better than the freebie this CM version really is!

Flux Mini CM essentially lets you modulate volume, filter and pan parameters using a fantastic UI on its left, allowing you to effectively draw in the level of modulation onscreen (and over our logo), so you can create really complex or subtle movement with any audio that passes through the plugin.

Flux Mini CM is great for sidechain style effects, any kind of movement you can imagine and for dynamic and tension-inducing builds. Best of all it follows the Caelum Audio philosophy to a tee, delivering great results, fast. So you get basic controls to deal with the big stuff on each setting – Filter, Pan, Volume – and smaller controls to tweak each one.
