Nightfall Sound Co. Mind Assembly (Glitch Effect / Mac Only)

$15.00

Nightfall Sound Co. Mind Assembly lives in the moment where sound forgets what it was just doing. Audio is pulled apart, examined, and stitched back together slightly wrong, fragments looping out of order, rhythms forming accidentally or locking tightly to the beat. It doesn’t smooth or correct. It rearranges. The result feels mechanical but unstable, like a machine thinking out loud. Mind Assembly turns that process into an instrument.

Assembly Engine (Primary Process)

Incoming audio is continuously sliced into small fragments and reassembled in real time.

  • Sound is divided into micro-segments

  • Fragments are reordered, repeated, or skipped

  • Rhythmic patterns can drift freely or snap to host tempo

  • Works equally well on instruments, vocals, drums, and full mixes

Core Controls

  • Chaos
    Introduces unpredictability into how fragments are selected and reordered.
    Low values stay patterned and rhythmic. Higher values drift, break, and misfire.

  • Slice (ms)
    Sets the size of each fragment.
    Short slices create tight, glitchy motion. Longer slices lean toward broken loops and warped rhythm.

  • Spacing
    Controls the distance and timing between fragments.
    At lower values, fragments cluster and smear. Higher values introduce gaps, stutter, and negative space.

  • Mix
    Blends the processed signal with the original input.

  • Sync Mode

    When enabled, slicing and spacing lock to the host tempo, allowing Mind Assembly to move with the track — or deliberately against it.

Character

  • Procedural, not preset-driven

  • Rhythmic without a rigid grid

  • Mechanical but imperfect

  • Designed for sound design, texture creation, and controlled disruption

Why I’m Releasing My Plugins the Way I Am…

I’ve decided to release my plugins the same way a lot of developers I admire do—with trust in the community instead of fear of pirates. I know how this world works: if someone wants to pirate something badly enough, they’ll find a way. That’s been true since the early days of tape machines all the way to modern DAWs. I’d rather spend my energy building tools that inspire people than building walls that only punish the honest users.

My story with music and sound design started long before I ever touched code. I picked up the guitar at 13, and the moment I got my hands on a Tascam PortaStudio, everything changed. That little box blew my world open. It made me fall in love with recording, experimenting, and chasing sounds that didn’t exist yet. As I grew, my setups changed—Cakewalk → Cubase → Studio One → and now Ableton Live—but that feeling never went away. Each stage opened a new door. Eventually I hit a moment where I looked at a simple problem and asked myself, “Could I build this?” I wanted nothing more than a basic amp switcher. That tiny question sent me down a massive rabbit hole.

I found the Beavis Audio Research website and learned everything I could—components, circuits, troubleshooting, all of it. Before long, I wasn’t just building pedals…I was inventing my own effects, tweaking ideas that didn’t exist in the real world. That journey pushed me from analog into digital. I started building effects with the Spin FV-1, turning ideas into code, creating sounds I couldn’t have achieved with hardware alone. And that, eventually, brought me to where I am now—developing plugins. I love it. It’s the perfect blend of audio design, imagination, math, and chaos. And because of that love, I’d rather my plugins be easy to install, easy to use, and easy to share—not locked behind a dozen activation hoops. The people who support my work want to create, not fight with copy protection. So I’ll keep trusting the people who believe in what I’m building.

At the end of the day, this whole thing started because I asked, “Can I build this?” And now I get to hand that same spark of curiosity to other producers, guitarists, sound designers, and weird-sound chasers everywhere. That’s worth more to me than stopping a pirate. If you see my plugins posted somewhere they shouldn’t be-please take action! Thank you all!
