The creative line of plug-ins was born from a unique collaboration with Armada University
Tuesday, June 17, 2025 – Renowned Amsterdam-based DJ and producer Mason is venturing into the world of music tech, revealing a new line of innovative audio plug-ins, designed to inject character – and chaos – to the music making process. Developed in collaboration with Armada Music and Armada University, the Critter FX series is a playful set of tools for both emerging and established producers ready to experiment.
The Critter FX range features three distinctive plug-ins that rhythmically animate sound using a curated mix of effects, each with its own distinct musical personality:
-
Critter Crunch – Adds grit and destruction with a stylish blend of bitcrushing and overdrive, perfect for giving overly polished sounds a raw edge.
-
Critter Splash – Drenches your audio in rhythmic delays and reverb tails, ideal for spacey textures and sonic depth.
-
Critter Flush – Warps your signal into uncharted territory by creatively disrupting time and space.
Alongside the launch, Mason and Armada University have released an in-depth video walking through the plug-ins and their various use cases. Watch here.
Mason says: “This isn’t your everyday salt and pepper – it’s more like a dash of musical Tabasco. Sometimes a track needs that unexpected kick. Consider yourself sorted with this bunch of critters.”
The Critter FX plug-ins are available now, exclusively through Armada University at an introductory bundle price of €9.99. To purchase, visit:
