Plugin Functions

Main Interface

1. Capture: AI analyzes your input signal for 3–4 seconds and adjusts parameters (excluding Makeup, Heat on/off, and Output Gain).
2. Breeze Knob: Adjusts the global effect intensity and acts as the main dry/wet control. All parameter values scale dynamically with this knob.
3. Output Gain: Sets the final output volume.

Advanced Controls

1. Space: Adjusts the reverb amount (modifiable by AI or manually).
2. Span: Controls the reverb tail feedback.
3. Makeup: Combines glue compression with gain compensation.
4. Crisp: Enhances high-frequency presence for clarity and brightness.
5. Heat: Neural-modeled amp simulation for brightness and saturation. Includes an on/off switch to enable or bypass this effect.
6. Preset Bar: Scroll, browse, and manage presets.
7. Scale: Increases the GUI size to 150% for better visibility on high-resolution screens.

Visual Feedback

• Outer Rim Indicators: Show real-time parameter values based on the Breeze knob’s position. For example, if the Breeze knob is set to 50%, the outer rim glows to reflect 50% of the maximum value.
• Control Buttons: Define the maximum value for each parameter. The actual value depends on the Breeze knob setting.

Use Cases

1. Polished Vocals: Use Capture to auto-adjust, then tweak Crisp and Heat for clarity and warmth.
2. Rich Ambience: Adjust Space and Span for a lush reverb effect, perfect for ballads or cinematic vocals.
3. Creative Saturation: Enable Heat and push it for overdrive, then experiment with presets for unique vocal textures.

Other Creative Use Cases

1. Instrument Glow – Smooth Reverb for Guitar or Piano: Use Space and Span to add a subtle yet immersive reverb to acoustic guitar or piano tracks. This creates a lush, atmospheric sound, perfect for lo-fi, ambient, or cinematic compositions. Dial up Crisp to add brightness and clarity to the instrument.
2. Vocal Distortion for Experimental Genres: Turn on Heat and push it to higher levels for distorted, saturated vocal textures, ideal for genres like industrial, experimental pop, or hyperpop. Combine with a shorter Span for a gritty, in-your-face effect.
3. Drum Ambience Enhancement: Use the plugin on drum loops or individual hits to add space and texture. Increase Space and adjust Span to give snare hits a rich, resonant tail, or use Heat for subtle saturation on kick drums to add warmth and punch.
4. Sound Design for Foley and Effects: Apply Cloudmax Breeze to field recordings or sound effects to add depth and realism. For instance, use the reverb settings to enhance the spaciousness of footsteps in a cave or the clarity of rustling leaves. Enable Crisp to accentuate subtle, high-frequency details.
