COGG is a sound metallicizer and industrializer plugin for FL Studio using C++ and JUCE.
Turn EVERY sound into something industrial.
COGG is a free VST3/AU effects plugin that transforms your audio with a chain of metallic processing — harmonic distortion, convolution reverb built from synthetic metal plate impulse responses, and pitch layering.
Simply turn up the Grind knob and watch the cog spin faster to begin metallizing your sound. Or, if you prefer more control, adjust the other knobs to perfect and fine tune the metallic mayhem.
| Knob | What it does |
|---|---|
| Grind | The central macro. Dial up the intensity and watch the cog spin faster as your sound gets crushed and driven harder |
| Impact | Metallic attack shaping. High impact gives you a sharp distorted hit at the front of every note that decays into something calmer |
| Metal | Convolution reverb using a synthetic metal plate IR for resonant industrial space |
| Grit | Harmonic exciter that folds odd harmonics into your signal for industrial texture |
| Up / Down | Layer pitch-shifted voices above and below your dry signal |
| Mix | Global dry/wet — strength of the plugin over the original sound |
VST3 (Mac + Windows): FL Studio, Ableton Live, Reaper, Cubase, Studio One, Bitwig, Cakewalk, Reason
