Curtiss King Midi Duck v1.0.3 WiN MacOSX
VST Plugins / Audio Soft
3-04-2023
MIDI DUCK is a wave shaping, customizable volume LFO plug-in hosted by a buff ass Duck with a glorious Durag.
You’re welcome.
THE SHAPER
Not all shapes are created equal!
Express your creativity by exploring the shaping interface canvas at the heart of the Midi Duck.
The MD shaper breaks boundaries and allows you to create your own flavours of ducking, drawing anything from simple curves all the way though to complex envelope shapes that resemble the stars of the Zodiac, the choice is yours!
TIME & VISUALS
Choose different time intervals to control how often your duck curve hits your audio and visualize the effects with the built-in on screen oscilloscope.
RANDOMIZER
Feeling lucky?... No problem!
Roll the dice by clicking on Drucks beak to create a countless number of envelope shapes, all generated completely at random.
POWER DIALS
The quote "With great power comes great responsibility" does not apply here! Real creatives know that many gems are found at the extremes, so Midi Duck encourages experimentation, extreme settings and makes it easy for you to get there.
THE BIG DIAL
An analog hardware knob placed on an illustrated backdrop is so wrong, but yet so right! Crank up the dial clockwise to increase the effect of your ducking shape. Again, don't hold back, the more the better!
WARP
Curve the left Warp slider up for a sonic trip like no other.
A seemingly simple control but don't be fooled, it's powered by multiple pitch modulators working in parallel in the background.
GRIT
Arc the right slider up for some of that rich gritty saturation and pay homage to the dirty grind of Drucks past. Only experience could produce a sound so textured and thick... Try it and see!
ADVANCED MODE
Ambitious sound designers and producers will be blown away by this not so hidden gem, as another level of multi-band control lies waiting behind the scenes.
Click on the Midi Duck logo, or the Inspector glass to reveal advanced mode and unlock a world of even greater sonic possibilities.
MULTIBAND
Now you can focus your Ducking or Power FX on a specific part of the audio spectrum. Just drag the outer bands in or out to hone in on your desired range.
Perfect for ducking the low end of an instrument or loop while keeping its upper frequencies untouched and vice versa.
Experiment and see!
BAND GAIN SLIDERS
Control the output gain of each of your bands independently by adjusting the LO, MID & HI vertical sliders. You're free to make bold moves with 10db of slider gain in either direction.
Additional Tech Info: All 3 bands are created with carefully designed Linkwitz-Riley crossover filters. This avoids phase cancellation whilst creating a very natural, analog like quality.
PRESETS
"The power of presets is far too underrated!"
Midi Duck comes packed with over 50 factory presets designed by our experienced in house engineers. We did the heavy lifting so that you can stay in the zone and get inspired with as little as 1click!
PRESET EXPLORER
Explore all presets in full view with a dedicated built in browser window. The browser explorer comes packed with smart features designed to help you store and find all of your presets.
Favorite your best combos, recall, add new groups and search by name. Not to mention the expansion system that makes it lightning fast to import & export presets with other music creators worldwide.
PRESET NAVIGATOR
The preset navigator arrows allow you to easily audition all of your stored presets sequentially with just a click of button, whilst staying locked in to the main plugin interface.
"Presets are gems, don't let anyone tell you otherwise!"
MENU
The menu section houses additional control & items to assist and inspire your workflow.
But its so much more than your typical menu section and comes loaded with a few hidden gems for you to get your teeth into.
UNDO/REDO
Midi Duck remembers every single move you make allowing you to undo and redo at the click of a button. Be as creative and experimental as you wish knowing that all of your moves are backed up in memory!
ACHIEVEMENTS
A unique feature of Curtiss King plugins is that you get rewarded for doing what you already should be doing, turning up to cook and create regularly! Midi Duck comes loaded with its own dedicated Achievement
for you to unlock. Time to get building that streak!

No problem, simply hit the settings cog to access a number of different scaling options for the plugin, or hit the ‘Help’ icon to chat to a member of our support team who are working round the clock to make sure that you’ve got what you need.
MEET DRUCK
Druck is a visionary. Callous with love. Endlessly inventive and casually cruel. Willing to go against grain till it smooths out.
They say he lost every fade he was ever offered before his beard grew infully.
Now?
He hasn’t been beaten by a soul. Only draw...after draw... after DRAW.
With Sox.

Ducking, or sidechain compression, is one of the defining effects of modern music. From classic house to modern EDM, tracks by Daft Punk, Noisia and Eric Prydz ooze that pumping, ducking effect.
So, whether you're producing pumping house or broken beats, Duck delivers in seconds.
Duck makes it easy to design a custom volume shape that repeats at a speed and depth of your choice, or use one of 58 presets to find new and inspiring effects. As well as sidechain compression Duck is capable of trance-gating, tremolo and any other volume effect you can think of. For more control, enable split band mode and adjust the separate low and high frequency controls. And Duck can be triggered with audio from a sidechain input or by MIDI notes, making it easier than ever for hip-hop and bass music producers.

Clearer Space
'Mutant Reverb’ is a mono-to-stereo reverb plugin with a built-in ducker; perfect for vocals, percussion, synths and many other applications where you need precise control of reverb tails. Adding reverb to sounds gives warmth, character and places the sound in a real-world space. However, big problems arise when a reverb tail masks the clarity of the original signal, resulting in a muddy and undefined sound. Mutant Reverb is the solution, in just a couple of clicks you can duck the reverb processing out of the way of the original audio without any complicated side-chain or compression routing. Just plug and play.
