Bref, a compact synthesizer plugin, specializes in creating synthetic percussion sounds. Utilizing a modified version
of Ephemere's synthesis engine, Bref effortlessly produces a vast array of short, crisp
metallic sounds.
The workflow of Bref is streamlined and intuitive:
The plugin randomly generates a pair of sounds on startup.
Trigger it with a MIDI note (the sound has a fixed pitch, making it easy to use the plugin inside drum racks for
example).
You can blend the sounds together using the MORPH knob (automating this knob can yield dynamic and interesting
results).
You can regenerate each sound individually by clicking on the A and B buttons.
You can also regenerate the whole state of the plugin by clicking the dice button at the bottom.
There is no preset system, but the state of the plugin is saved when you save a project in your host.
The user interface can be resized by dragging the handle in the bottom right corner.
