mortamer

Example 01: Mortamer adds extreme aliasing with dithering and RM.

Mortamer was inspired by big dreams and small calculations. It’s a homage to the craft of building tools that are not only functional, but also willing to embrace imperfection.

What once felt like major technical hurdles—integrating low-frequency oscillators into control units, for example—has long since become a thing of the past. And problems that once seemed monumental, like reducing image aliasing without relying on traditional lowpass filtering, eventually revealed themselves with alternative solutions.

Unlike many decimator plug-ins, Gooey’s Mortamer doesn’t depend on pre- and post-filters to tame aliasing artifacts. Instead, it uses several very short delays mixed together and averaged—without feedback— which acts as a mock filter to dull the harshest aliased frequencies while preserving the character of the effect.

Of course, the more traditional aliasing algorithms are included for those who want the classic digital grit: the beeps, the bops, the crunchy edges.

And for those who want to push it, Mortamer includes a pseudo ring-modulator designed to exaggerate those wonderfully abrasive, fax-machine-like tones.

Example 02: Gritty-formant-crush.

so much static

Mortamer helps others lose their sound fidelity.

But that’s not all—Mortamer comes with optional dithering, clipping, mixing, jittering, and modulation controls, making Mortamer a versatile tool in the studio.

Mortamer comes with 70 presets that cater to a wide range of genres and styles, from drones and formant textures to digital-beeper noises and even water-like sounds that imitate babbling brooks.
