It may cost less than £30, but Replicant is definitely the most creative plug-in on the market in any price band for a long time.

Manufacturer's description

Replicant is a delay-based effect in the "beat slicer/looper" vein, with some tricks of its own that separate it from the herd. From a simple delay or panning effect, on up to massive random beat mangling, Replicant is a capable plugin well in line with today's modern electronic music styles. Stuttering buffers and filter drops are easy to program, and the comprehensive randomization features give it a mind of its own, if so desired. If you're looking to add some chance to your programming, you've come to the right place.

Replicant is available as a VST effect for Windows, and as an AudioUnit/VST effect bundle for OSX Universal Binary. Note that you must have OSX 10.3.9 or greater to use the Macintosh version of this plugin.

Pros

Stunning delay effects. Astonishingly cheap. Incredibly original. Completely versatile. Extremely creative.

Cons

Could do with wet/dry balance control in duck mode. Needs a crossover/release control in duck mode.

The bottom line

It may cost less than the average night out, but Replicant has the potential to revolutionise the way you work. Don’t let this stunning plug-in pass you by.
