Expert Sleepers are proud to announce the release of Oomingmak, a new plug-in for Mac OS X and Windows. Oomingmak is a pitch- and envelope-tracking (re)synthesis effect. Or, to put it another way, if you feed a sound source (e.g. a guitar) into Oomingmak it will come out sounding like you’re playing an analog monosynth. Or maybe something else entirely.
