- Ever wondered how to get those distinctive frequency-bending effects used by artists such as Aphex Twin? In this deep dive into Infiltrator's FFT modules, Rob Jones shows you how.

As mentioned in the reddit screencap, the Aphex Twin's Windowlicker and it's B-side were made with U&I software's MetaSynth, which has been doing amazing things with FFT since it launched 25 years ago. Infiltrator is a great way to get some of the same sounds though, and it has the benefit of being 1/4 the price, not Mac only, and way easier to understand!
Yes, I remember using MetaSynth when it first came out and when Richard used that effect it was so recognisable for anyone using that software. In fact, almost too distinctive in that you can't use it too much. Unfortunately, I agree, it's an extremely expensive piece of software that frequently only leads to one very particular kind of sound at the best of things. I love Infiltrator too!
This jogged my memory as I spent probably years as a teen looking for a specific effect (it's at 2:21 in Windowlicker) where the vocal turns into what sounds like a high-band bright vocoded smudge. Also in general this sort of filtering reminds me of one of my other favourite pieced of electronic music ever made; 'Do You Know Squarepusher'. Nice VST you got here.
bruh i was thinking about Spor before and i was like "what was that other alias of his i can't remember" lol
Nice vid. I first heard this sound as an artifact of really low bitrate mp3 encoding. Like you said, a weird bitcrusher. Maybe that’s what afx used
Hey bro you still alive. Used to watch your maschine tutorials back in the day
Infiltrator needs a limiter that can be set and locked for the volume changes between presets.
How about if I add a lock button to the compressor section (like on the master mix, bass bypass) so that it keeps its settings between patch changes? -Dom

@@DeviousMachines Sounds legit!

I used to get that effect miss-using a noise removal software around that time. I think it was in “sound forge”
yes, i know what you mean
Can also do it in audacity to achieve similar results
and the harmonic paint feature in izotope iris
love spectral artefacts
Sounds like he might be using Digitalis by Aberrant DSP.. Great explanation :) always wondered about the fft effects.
Love it ❤❤
Idk if you ever thought about it but you could release the FFT modules as a standalone plugin and maybeeee sell hot cakes of it it's amazing and there aren't many.
haha idk i guess but i love the module and always reach for it but would love a standalone version !
Anyway if you never do it its still amazing stuff!!
love it
Cool stuff going on here, but I don't think this is how that texture was achieved in Windowlicker. Try running some audio through Waves X-Noise (or probably any other digital noise reducer) with all the perameters set to extreme and this will get you the EXACT texture you're looking for :)
Sounds like noise reduction, the kind you'd get on Cool Edit back in the day.
Оо i have VXT8 too:)
fur-ee-ay. it's french.
I have no idea what a furia transform is, could this be the transform you’re looking for?
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fourier_transform?wprov=sfti1
It’s because many British English dialects have non-rhotic terminals, which is why he pronounces Fourier “Fourieh”, center “centeh”, shifter “shifteh”, etc.
Besides, the name Fourier is French, “fu-ri-yeh”, so his pronunciation is more accurate than American Standard English.
