Number 9 is not a multi-effects plugin. It’s a reactive audio laboratory where your tracks can trigger, transform, and destabilize each other in real time.

Built around six Briarwave effect engines — Echo, Pitch, Space, Freeze, Reverse, and Smear — Number 9 turns the relationship between tracks into movement, atmosphere, rhythmic disruption, and controlled musical chaos. Instead of placing effects on one sound and hoping they sit in the mix, Number 9 lets source audio respond to external Agent tracks, so the performance itself becomes part of the effect system.

A kick can summon echoes. A vocal can trigger frozen textures. A guitar can smear into space only when another track tells it to. A percussion loop can make pitch movement appear, disappear, duck, reverse, or bloom in ways that feel composed, reactive, and alive.

This is where Number 9 separates itself from a normal effects chain.

The source track becomes the canvas. The Agent tracks become the invisible hands moving the machinery. Echo can pulse around the groove. Pitch can fracture into intervallic motion. Space can open and vanish. Freeze can grab moments and turn them into sustaining artifacts. Reverse can pull sound backward through the mix. Smear can soften edges into strange harmonic weather.

It is built for moments where static effects are not enough — when you want one track to provoke another, when you want ambience to react to rhythm, when you want the mix to feel like a living system instead of a stack of inserts.
