13x Audio just dropped Colony, a free multi-effect plugin built around one big ENERGY knob. It packs six effect cells — saturation, modulation, reverb, sidechain ducking, stereo widening, and lo-fi color — and one turn of ENERGY moves all the active ones through their own ranges at once.
There's a BUILD view for setting how each cell responds, a TWEAK view for digging into the individual controls, and a PLAY view that keeps the preset browser and ENERGY up front. Ships with 73 presets, and you don't need an account or an email to grab it. Runs as VST3, AU, and standalone on macOS 11+, 64-bit Windows 10/11, and Linux.
