Atrum Lab Rumor v1.0.0 VST3 AU
The newest machine from the Lab: chop, pitch, morph and glide, all driven by one engine.
GLITCH · STUTTER · MORPH. LOCKED TO YOUR TEMPO.
FORM + FUNCTION
[01] CHOPS ON A TEMPO MAP. PITCH, REPEATS, REVERSE PER SLICE.
[02] THREE PEDALS, WIRED IN ORDER. RVRS, ECHO, M-PITCH.
[03] FOUR LFOS YOU CAN DRAW. PIN THEM TO ANY KNOB.
WHAT IT DOES
Any sound in. Cut to the grid, pitched, reversed, echoed. Then a star that turns a take into an idea.
[01] MORPH CONSOLE
The engine on one panel. MORPH sets how deep the chops go, GLIDE how the pitch slides between them. PITCH and CHOP are stepped: musical intervals, short or long slices, or random. SYNC locks the whole map to the host grid.
MORPH 0 – 100% · PITCH OFF, +-3 5 7 12, RNDM · CHOP OFF, SHORT, LONG, RNDM · SYNC
[02] MORPH MAP
Two bars of sixteenths with the chops laid on them. Zoom from two bars down to a quarter. Roll the dice and the map lands on the strong beats; the bin clears it.
ZOOM 2B / 1B / 1/2 / 1/4 · DICE · TEMPO-AWARE
[03] MAP EDITOR
Draw the map yourself. Double-click to add or remove a chop, drag positions and lengths on a 1/16 grid, set pitch and repeats, flip reverse, draw the volume of every repeat. The filter and its LFO live on the same screen.
1/16 GRID · PER-CHOP MIX · REPEAT VOLUMES · FILTER + LFO
[04] GLITCH SCOPE
A CRT screen that draws the input and every chop as it fires: pitch and repeat count on each marker. The same screen records the output to a WAV, and hosts the Magic star.
LIVE MARKERS +12 / -7 / X4 · REC TO WAV · MAGIC
[05] PATCH BAY
Three pedals wired in order. RVRS flips slices before or after the chops. ECHO is a worn tape delay with rate, feedback, cut and WEAR. M-PITCH loops a bar down to an eighth and slows it 2x or 1.5x. Every knob here is an LFO target.
RVRS · ECHO · M-PITCH · 4 LFOS
RVRS > ECHO > M-PITCH
[06] MAGIC
Record anything, press the star. Rumor finds the loud moments, cuts the silence and builds an accent, a phrase or a loop on the grid. Reverse, stutter, sometimes a filter or a reverb. The last four ideas stay in the history. Drag the file straight into the DAW.
ACCENT / PHRASE / LOOP · HISTORY OF 4 · DRAG TO DAW
REC > MAGIC > DRAG
[07] IN AND OUT
Input gain in, output gain out, a bypass lamp between them. After the chain: master pitch, a soft safety compressor and a touch of saturation, then the MIX knob. Nothing leaves too hot.
IN / OUT +-24 DB · BYPASS · SAFETY COMP
[08] 100+ PRESETS
The [LAB] series ships inside the plugin and grows with every update. Favourites, search, user folders that become sections of their own.

SIGNAL PATH
Seven stages, every one of them locked to the host tempo
WHY RUMOR
One panel instead of a pedalboard. What it replaces, and what that would cost.
