SMT Build

From a gentle lift to the moment before the drop. Shape your transition with one automatable BUILD control.

SMT Build interface with BUILD macro, filter, delay, reverb and noise riser controls

One movement. Your settings.

Choose how much each effect contributes, then move BUILD by hand or automate it in your DAW. Watch the effective filter response as you adjust the sweep.

Let echoes carry into the next section with Ring out, or choose Cut for a tighter return. The growing factory preset collection provides starting points, and you can save your own.

Six featured starting points

Find your kind of tension.

Init

Start from the default settings and shape your own transition.

Subtle Lift

A gentle low-cut sweep, a little space and a quiet riser for smaller transitions.

Clean House Rise

A steeper filter sweep, fast synced echoes and a bright riser. Cut tails for a tighter drop.

Dub Transition

Dark dotted-quarter echoes with long feedback. Ring out carries the space into the next section.

Airy Breakdown

Long, bright reverb and airy noise with a gentler low-cut sweep.

Short Tension

A sharper sweep, triplet echoes and a stronger riser for a quick burst of tension.

Make any preset your own with individual effect amounts, tone and timing controls. Save your settings as a preset file.
