Where to get itAvailable from Audio Damageaudiodamage.com

AD056 Replicant 3 is a tempo-based delay plugin that divides each measure into slices and loops repeated segments of audio triggered at specific positions. Featuring comprehensive controls for slice manipulation, filtering, and effects, Replicant creates everything from synchronized delays and stutters to complex rhythmic textures through random parameter variations and multiple effect layers.

Written from the manual and checked against it. How we check

Key Features

01Divide measures into 3-16 slices with dotted-note and n-tuple note-length support
02Repeatable audio segments from 1/128th of a measure to a full measure
03Slice Effects: Stutter (with DIVISION 2-128), Delay (tempo-synced with TIME, COLOR, FEEDBACK), Redukt (sample-rate and bit-depth reduction), and Ringmod (amplitude modulation)
04Event Effects: Auto-panner with POSITION, SPEED, WIDTH and WRAP modes; Envelope (ATTACK, HOLD, RELEASE controls); LPF and HPF filters (40-20kHz and 10-10kHz respectively) with STATIC mode and automatic sweeping
05Probabilistic triggering via Selected and Random Likelihood knobs, plus per-effect probability controls (STUTTER, etc.)
06Scatter mode and Rand knob for forward/backward playback variations
07LEVEL (-40dB to +6dB), DECAY (0 to -6dB per repetition), and MODE mixing (MIX, DUCK, SEND)
08Manual triggering and MIDI note control (C3-C4)

Things to Try

  • 01Set Stutter DIVISION to 4 or 8 with a short SIZE (e.g., 1/16) and moderate REPEATS to create pitched, stuttering beeps
  • 02Use Envelope ATTACK and RELEASE at matching values (e.g., both 0.5) to crossfade between repeated slices for smoother sustained-signal processing
  • 03Set Ringmod FREQ to a low value (activate LO RANGE for frequencies below 12.3Hz) to create tremolo-like amplitude modulation effects
  • 04Enable the Scatter button and increase the Rand knob to make playback direction reverse with each repetition, creating forward-backward alternation
