remaincalm relaunches with Paranoia, Gossamer and FREE Gloss Plugins

remaincalm announces Paranoia distortion, Gossamer modulation FX and FREE Gloss chorus plugins.

Boutique audio software developer remaincalm today announced its official relaunch with a new lineup of creative audio effect plugins. Operating under-the-radar since 2008, the Sydney-based company is reintroducing its brand with a set of new, hand-made tools designed to inspire unconventional sound design.

To celebrate the relaunch, the vintage chorus GLOSS effect is available for free, and for a limited time, customers can receive a 20% discount on paid plugins by signing up for the remaincalm.audio mailing list.

"We got our start doing bizarre stuff decades ago," says Daniel Arena, remaincalm's founder. "Homebrew drum machines on gaming consoles, contributions to weird sequencer software, lots of clunky tools with busted user interfaces - but somewhere along the way people used some of these things to create amazing music. We rebooted the company to take some of those strange ideas and expand them into polished software that is easy to use, but capable of otherworldly sounds."

The relaunched plugin suite is available in VST3, AU, and AAX formats for macOS and Windows, and features three products: GLOSS (free download), PARANOIA (commercial), and GOSSAMER (commercial).

PARANOIA - "Waveform Mangler"

An extreme modulated distortion effect inspired by the sounds of industrial music and vintage chiptune gear. A "sequenced sound destroyer," it is designed to produce "impossible" rhythms and textures, from light preamp crunch and unusual guitar tones, through to total audio meltdown.

Our first version of PARANOIA was added as a free contribution to the Reaper audio workstation software in 2010. Fifteen years in the making, this new release is a ground-up rewrite: optimized, extended and improved in every way.

GOSSAMER - "Synth Beautifier"

A multi-effect focused on modulation, designed to transform any synth sound. Inspired by "Berlin School" electronica, it offers a mix of circuit-modelled and modern effects. Modules include unique phaser, chorus, formant-filter, and shimmer, inspired by obscure 1970s classic equipment.

GLOSS - "Shiny Enhancer"

FREE

A free modulation effect designed to make any synth sound "a little bit nicer," it delivers two characterful chorus sounds and a reverb derived from its larger sibling, GOSSAMER. Designed to handle like the vintage gear it's inspired by, GLOSS is capable of drastic but warm tonal changes.

Pricing and Availability

GLOSS is available now for free.

PARANOIA is available now for $49USD ($39USD with introductory discount).

GOSSAMER is available now for $49USD ($39USD with introductory discount).

All plugins, including feature-restricted demo installers, are available for immediate download from the remaincalm.audio website.
