VCB-SKPR-FREE

⚓️ VCB-SKPR — the free edition

⚓️ Got skip? 💿 Here's a taste.

VCB-SKPR FREE is the real plugin with most of the damage still attached. Same proprietary VCB (Virtual Circuit Bending) engine, same dying CD players, same BPM-synced glitch and granular stutter. We just kept a few of the nastier toys back, because we'd like to eat.

No trial timer. No countdown. No "14 days remaining" nagging you at 3am. It just works, forever, with less of it.

⚓ WHAT'S ABOARD

▸ The full BPM-synced skip and stutter engine — repeat time, repeat rate, randomness, loop reset ▸ All 5 CD transport modes: Loop, Reverse, Play, Pause, Skip ▸ The Paulstretch-inspired dual-mode time stretcher, complete with stretch verb ▸ Pitch shifting across the full ±48 semitone range ▸ 2 of the 5 CD damage models ▸ 4 of the 9 VCB circuit bending switches ▸ Bass Boost with harmonic saturation ▸ BPM-synced probability wet/dry system ▸ 38 factory presets across 2 banks ▸ VST3 · AU · macOS Universal and Windows

⚓ WHAT WENT DOWN WITH THE SHIP

▸ The distortion pedal. That enigmatic circuit-bent 90s thing with Pre/Post routing. It's still in there. You can see it. You cannot touch it. ▸ The mutation sequencer. Probabilistic mutation with Lock — the part that makes it play itself. Greyed out, humming quietly, judging you. ▸ 5 of the 9 circuit bending switches. Nine switches is 512 combinations. Four is 16. You do the math, we'll do the damage. ▸ 3 of the 5 CD damage models. You get the first two. The genuinely crashed ones are behind the paywall, where crashed things belong. ▸ 164 of the 202 presets. You can see every bank name in the menu. Nineteen of them are greyed out. That's not an accident, that's a sales technique. ▸ Saving your own presets. Build the perfect wreck, and it lives in your project forever — but it never makes it to the preset list.

⚠ NOTE

Everything locked is visible, dimmed, and still doing its job in the factory presets. So yes — some of these presets are using the distortion and the sequencer you can't reach. We thought that was funnier than hiding them.

◉ SONAR: If the greyed-out sections start keeping you up at night, that's the intended effect. The full version is one click and considerably fewer regrets away.
