This algorithm is a bespoke sound design tool that is inspired by the mix beat algorithm from the Kurzweil K2x00 series samplers. The chrome effect is essentially a very high rate tremelo/cross fader effect. If you ramp the BPM up to ludicrous speed and set one sample to silence, he described the result as dipping your sample into liquid chrome.

I’ve reproduced this here, allowing you to chrome a sample in real time. You can also mix 2 inputs to chop between the 2 sources very quickly. This sounds great with the wormhole reverb after the effect.

Chrome is pretty simple. Just increase Mod Amount to hear the effect and mess with the other controls to suit. Sine and Triangle LFO’s give the smoothest result, harder edges like saw’s and square waves give a harsher tone.

Wire in a second sound source to 3/4 if you want to mash 2 sounds together.
