Freeze Time Forever

Cryostasis is a spectral inertia effect that can progressively smear your audio until infinitely frozen in time. It features spectral FX and controls to shape the character of the frozen tail. All are controlled by a continuously variable freeze knob or an auto switch that can be timed in milliseconds or musical measures (double-click).


Cryostasis Key Features

Freeze Designer

You can use the various controls to change the sound of the freeze effect. For example, the Size parameter will change the time length of the spectral window, which completely changes the sonic character. Lower values sound unnatural and robotic, while higher values sound smooth and atmospheric.

Slow Motion

When the freeze effect is coupled with the built-in pitch shifter, it creates a tape-stop style effect, where the sound appears to slow down over time until it becomes completely frozen - forever. Or use the frequency shifter for dissonant risers and downshifters.

Ambient Dreams

The Wash control diffuses the freeze effect into a lush and smooth modulated reverb tail. Easily create spaced-out ambience and soundscapes that dissolve into the either. It can even be used as a sound design tool to create frozen vocal loops to load into your favourite sampler.

LoFi Glitch

Use the built-in Bit and Rate reducers to add some LoFi magic to the sound. Couple that with lower Size values, and you can create dirty robotic glitches to washed-out dusty soundscapes.

Filter Transitions

Cryostasis is great for transitioning between musical sections and for creative intros and outros. The built-in high-pass and low-pass filters can help to sweep the effect in & out and up & down. Imagine your sound diffusing into thin air or blurring into the darkness.

Progressive Freezing

Cryostasis can freeze audio using the switch, but unlike most other freeze plugins, it also has a continuously variable freeze. You can smoothly transition between freeze states or even partially freeze to create time-smearing effects.

Hassle-free software protection

No iLok, no dongle, or internet access is required for activation. Our software uses license files to activate your software. You can freely use the purchased software on all your computers as long as you are the user.

Realistic 3D yet flexible GUI

The photorealistic graphic user interface of the plugin gives you the feeling you are touching the real hardware. But it easily adapts to your needs. You can always drag the arrow in the bottom right corner to change its size - make it smaller to save valuable screen space, or enlarge it to make it easier to use.

FREE 15-Day unlimited trial

All the descriptions are nothing compared to putting your hands on the plugin. No saving limits. No noises. No boundaries. Engage the plugin in your project for real and fully exploit its powers for two weeks.

64-bit audio quality at ANY sampling rate

The plugin provides the maximum audio quality you can get. It uses internal 64-bit audio processing and can handle any sampling rate. 192 kHz or even higher.

Smart bypass

The intelligent way our plugins manage bypassing ensures that you don't get any clicks or harmful noises when automating the parameter. It also compensates for latency, ensuring that the bypass states are perfectly in sync with each other.

Intelligent sleep on silence

This plugin intelligently detects whether it makes sense to perform processing at all. If not, it temporarily turns on sleep mode. In such a state, it requires virtually no CPU at all to save the computing sources for other processes.

Free-for-life updates

Our plugins never become obsolete. We keep track of the current operating systems and DAWs. You may always update to the most recent version for free, without paying a cent, a penny, or whatever currency you prefer.

Everything I like in an effect plugin. A nice and easy to use interface to do complex things. The multiple ways to freeze the sound give us insane creative possibilities. And a multitude of great presets that make Cryostasis an important element of my next music productions!

Cryostasis is great. I just used it to make a vocal disappear into a cloud of reverb and then have the cloud freeze over. This is very useful for transitions and atmospheric effects for both songs and scores. You can hear Lars using Cryostatsis on his Magic Wands - Whispers - Remix

I love the easily automatable controls in Cryostasis. It's such a great tool to use to design fresh new effects or some cool effects you might have already heard in songs and films. The possibilities are endless when you can freeze time!

Perfect to generate that little bit of extra background ambience to fill the track. Lots of fun to play with!

Cyberdrive takes a unique approach to distortion and fx that gives me sounds I wouldn't anticipate-creative but very usable!

The presets inside of this plugin are outstanding. I can create a certain lush detune or a pleasant ambience that isn't achievable with other plugins. The pitch and lo-fi knobs are my go-to now for turning boring pianos into beautifully textured, atmospheric keys.

A lot of fun and an extreme range of unique effects from Jason at JMG Sound. If you work in any genre that can use unusual FX, you should give it a try
