Kraken Underwater Effects Plugin
Unlock deep, smooth and lush underwater effects in one package with the Kraken Underwater Effects plugin.
Drop any vocal, instrument, synth or full mix beneath the surface — from a gently submerged, dreamy haze to a fully drowned, murky abyss. One simple “Depth” dial delivers instant analog‑style low‑pass muffling, while “Waves” and “Space” add living movement, motion and realism.
Why you’ll love Kraken
- 🌊 One‑knob depth — sink your sound from crystal‑clear down to deep underwater in a single move.
- 🐙 Living movement — pulsing “Waves” and a swaying filter make it breathe like real water and passing currents.
- 🏛️ Lush 70s‑style hall reverb with tails up to 16 seconds.
- 🎚️ Boutique analog character — vintage console & transformer warmth baked into the output.
- 🎛️ 250 ready‑to‑go presets for instant inspiration.
- ✍️ Type‑in values & full MIDI Learn for precise, hands‑on control.
Turn anything into “under the ocean”
Kraken runs three sections in parallel — a warm Depth muffle, a moving Waves modulator and a deep Space reverb — then finishes everything with analog console glue. Perfect for dreamy vocal FX, lo‑fi beats, ambient pads, transitions, risers, whispered breaks, cinematic underwater scenes and creative sound design.
💧 Depth — the master muffle
The big centre dial is the heart of Kraken: an analog‑voiced low‑pass filter that sweeps from wide‑open brightness all the way down to a thick, submerged rumble.
- Depth (0–100%) — how far underwater you go, from ~14 kHz open to ~20 Hz fully drowned.
- Resonance — adds emphasis and bite at the filter’s edge.
- Slope — filter steepness: 12, 24 or 48 dB/oct.
- LFO Shape — Sine, Triangle, Saw, Square or Random movement.
- LFO Rate — speed of the underwater sway.
- LFO Depth — how far the filter drifts brighter⇄darker, for that living “water” motion.
🌊 Waves — pulsing motion
A parallel resonant band that pulses in and out like swells and boats passing overhead — rhythmic, tonal movement layered under your sound.
- Mode — voices the pulse: Deep (50 Hz), Low (150 Hz), Medium (350 Hz) or Light (600 Hz).
- Rate — how fast the swells come and go.
- Depth — pulse intensity, from silent swells up to full level.
- Feedback — resonant regeneration that makes the band ring and sing.
- Spread — stereo width of the movement, from centred to wide.
🏛️ Space — deep, lush reverb
A rich, bit‑accurate recreation of a legendary 1970s hall reverb — the “deep” in deep underwater.
- Reverb Mode — tail length in six steps: Short 2s · Standard 4s · Medium 6s · Long 8s · Deep 12s · Extra Long 16s.
- Pre‑Delay — space before the reverb blooms (0–250 ms).
- Damp — high‑frequency absorption for a darker or airier tail.
- Tone — overall brightness of the reverb, from −100% (dark & muffled) to +100% (open).
- Wet — how much reverb sits under the sound.
🎚️ Global controls
- Input / Output — trim levels in and out (±24 dB).
- Mix — blend dry and processed, from subtle to fully underwater.
- On/Off — click‑free bypass that reveals the live reverb tail instead of cutting out.
🎛️ 250 factory presets
Kick‑start any session with 250 hand‑built presets — from Shallow Current and Surface Shimmer to Deep Trench, Sunken Cathedral and Abyssal Drift. Browse with the on‑screen preset bar, then tweak to taste.
Built for fast, precise workflow
- Type‑in value fields — double‑click any control to enter an exact value.
- Full MIDI Learn — map any knob or slider to your hardware controller.
- Smooth, animated interface with a responsive, real‑time display.
- Analog‑style, click‑free bypass so automation and A/B checks stay seamless.

- Formats: VST3, AU, AAX & Standalone
