Apocalypsis
Key Features
- Combines delay, reverb, pitch shifting, and distortion in one creative multi-effect.
- Uses hidden side panels and a top-right switch to reveal the main controller during editing.
- Includes left and right pitch shift, delay, and feedback controls for stereo movement.
- Adds volume-reactive pitch automation through Attack and Release behavior.
- Provides distortion and mix screws for pushing the processed signal from texture into damage.
- Includes a help button that identifies the controls directly from the interface.
- Works well for destructive transitions, unstable ambience, mangled guitar parts, and experimental electronic sound design.
Description
Apocalypsis is a chaotic multi-effect from Witch Pig that folds delay, reverb, pitch shifting, and distortion into one sound-mangling plugin. It is built for turning ordinary audio into unstable textures, pitched echoes, damaged ambience, and aggressive transition effects.
The core workflow is intentionally performative. Clickable side panels and a top-right switch reveal the controller, while the help button identifies the hidden controls when the interface becomes hard to read.
Its pitch section can react to playing volume through Attack and Release controls. With Attack engaged, the input level pushes pitch upward, and Release sets how quickly it falls back, which makes the effect feel more reactive than a static delay chain.
Apocalypsis is not a clean mix utility or a subtle reverb replacement. It makes the most sense when you want a source to collapse, smear, scream, wobble, or mutate into an apocalyptic layer for experimental electronic music, guitar noise, cinematic risers, and destructive sound design.

Frequently Asked Questions
What kind of effect is Apocalypsis?
Apocalypsis is a creative multi-effect that combines delay, reverb, pitch shifting, and distortion. It is aimed at sound mangling rather than transparent mixing.
How does the Attack and Release behavior work?
Witch Pig says turning the Attack screw on lets the input volume move the pitch upward. Release then controls how quickly the pitch returns after that movement.
Is Apocalypsis useful for subtle mixing?
It can be blended with its mix control, but its main character is unstable and destructive. Use it when you want obvious motion, pitch chaos, distorted ambience, or dramatic transition effects.
Where are the controls on the interface?
The developer page explains that the side panels or the top-right switch reveal the controller. The question mark help button identifies the controls when you need a quick reference.
