Tempo-Synced Modulation Filter

Draw the shape. Lock it to the beat. A drawable modulation engine that drives a filter, tremolo, auto-pan, reverb, or delay, looped, tempo-synced, or triggered from a sidechain.

Draw the modulation shape with control points, then lock it to the beat or free-run in Hz
Eight targets, meaning what the curve drives: low-pass, high-pass, band-pass and notch filters, volume, pan, reverb and delay
Stereo / Mid / Side routing, Loop, One-Shot, or sidechain-triggered
Live overlays show the playhead, the smoothed trace, and the output; no added latency

How it works

One shape you draw, driven by the clock, aimed at the target you choose

Draw It — The Shape

Click to drop control points on a large screen, drag them to move, and bow each segment with its mid-handle. Straight ramps, smooth humps, exponential curves, anything you can draw.

The shape becomes a looping modulator, a value from 0 to 1 swept left to right across one cycle.

Turn on SNAP and points lock to the grid, including the swung off-beat lines, so a tight rhythm is easy to place.

The exact curve you want, not a preset

Aim It — The Target

Point the curve at one of eight destinations: a resonant low, high, band-pass, or notch filter, volume for tremolo and gating, pan for auto-panning, or a reverb or delay whose wet amount the curve drives.

The CHANNEL selector aims the effect at the full stereo signal, just the mid, or just the side, so you can filter only the centre or wobble only the width.

DEPTH scales how hard the curve drives the destination; MIX blends the result against the dry signal.

One shape, any destination

Drive It — The Clock

Run the curve as a free LFO at a Hz rate, or lock SYNC on and it follows the host tempo at any note division, in time with the host, no setup.

Or trigger it from a sidechain: One-Shot plays the curve once per hit, Loop (Trig) restarts the loop on every hit.

Raise STEREO to split the left and right playheads for wide, swirling motion from a single knob.

v1.1.0 · Now Available

What's New in v1.1.0

Orra Pump v1.1.0 points the drawn curve at a reverb and a delay as well as the filters, the volume and the pan. It adds a preset browser with 77 played shapes, a per-target edit view on the TARGET card, and an adjustable grid with swing types. Sessions saved with 1.0.0 load unchanged.

Reverb and Delay targets, with Send for throws that ring out and Insert for tails the curve shapes
Six reverb algorithms, level matched and crossfaded so ALGO can be swept while audio runs
A preset browser with 77 factory shapes in seven categories, drawn as played phrases rather than one cell repeated
Per-target edit view: press EDIT on the TARGET card and it becomes that target's own controls
An adjustable grid from 4 to 64 lines, a separate swing grid, and Late, Early or Gallop swing types
Mid / Side on the filters and Volume, RATE steps the divisions under SYNC, and tooltips in seven languages

Behavior change in v1.1.0

The self-calibrating duck detector is a deliberate behavior change. The duck now responds to the key's dynamics rather than its absolute level, referencing the key against its own recent peaks, with a silence floor around -60 dBFS so a noise floor cannot trigger the duck. Hot key tracks duck essentially as before, but sessions that relied on a quiet key producing an unintentionally shallow duck will now duck at full depth. Turn DUCK down to taste.

Four-Layer Modulation Engine

Want four of these at once? Orra Pump Pro.

Four complete drawable modulators in one window, run in series or one at a time with a crossfade between them. Fourteen destinations for the curve instead of eight, adding saturation, distortion, width, bitcrush, chorus and phaser, plus 105 layer presets and 91 scenes across 22 styles.
