Bondage is fully modular.
Bondage is fully modular.

Z3 Audiolabs has stepped into an SEO minefield by releasing Bondage, a fully modular Windows VST multi-effect plugin.

This contains 17 modules: five effects, five modulation sources, a MIDI In module, four modifiers, an X-fade module and a 4-channel mixer. There's also a scope to provide visual reference of your signals.

It looks like you can route anything to anything, and cables can be hidden to make the knobs more visible. Every parameter has a MIDI learn option, and there are 32 presets.

Bondage is available now from the Z3 Audiolabs website priced at €29.90, though you can save yourself 30% on that price until the end of the month.
