LinPlug announces the releases of its first effects plugin: the LinPlug relectro for Mac and PC.
The relectro is designed to transform single drum sounds and drum loops into something sounding substantially different; as no such effect yet exists, there is no attribute to describe how it sounds.

Relectro is to be primarily used in industrial, electronic, glitch, experimental, ambient, idm, noise, dub and techno, but will create unique highlights in all kinds of experimental and electronic music.
The license fee is 79 US$ / 59 Euro.
