What Is Kreuzberg Audio “WACKELPUDDING”?

WACKELPUDDING is a wobble filter plugin that connects the filter cutoff to a spring simulation with mass (0.1 to 10 kg), so the filter overshoots, bounces back and wobbles until it settles. When you pull the jelly in the center of the screen with the mouse and release it, its wobble becomes the movement of the filter directly. You can also make the pudding wobble with a kick in the sidechain, the track’s own signal or MIDI notes, and record and play back the movement as a loop of 1 to 8 bars.
