What it does
BTA Rise turns any loop, group or full mix into a build-up with a single knob. Turn up BUILD-UP INTENSITY, or automate it over 8 to 16 bars, and everything rises together.
Behind that one knob, four effects work as a team. A high-pass filter sweeps up from 20 Hz to 3 kHz with an adjustable resonant peak. A ping-pong delay locked to your song tempo and a growing reverb fill the space. A noise riser climbs with the build. Six depth knobs set how far each effect goes, and the glowing turtle shows how far you have risen.
At 0 % your sound stays exactly as it was. Bring the knob back down after the drop and the effects fade out smoothly, with no clicks. A built-in safety limiter makes sure the output never goes above -0.3 dBFS - your ears and speakers stay safe, even with everything maxed out.
Inside BTA Rise
2
Rising filter with resonance
A smooth high-pass filter sweeps up to 3 kHz as the build-up rises. RESONANCE adds a sharp, whistling edge.
3
Tempo-synced echoes
A ping-pong delay follows your song tempo in 1/4, dotted 1/8, 1/8 or 1/16, so the echoes always sit in the groove.
4
The turtle glows with you
The Blue Turtle in the main knob glows brighter the further you build - you see the tension rise at a glance.
5
Presets in one click
Start from 6 factory presets, flip through them with the arrows and save your own with the disk icon.
6
Safe at any setting
A built-in limiter keeps the output below -0.3 dBFS and silences broken signals instantly, so nothing can blow your speakers.

Questions
Does it change the tempo or pitch of my track?
No. BTA Rise only filters and adds effects. Tempo and pitch stay untouched, and the delay follows your song tempo automatically.
Can I automate it?
Yes. Every knob can be automated. The usual move is to automate BUILD-UP INTENSITY from 0 to 100 % over 8 or 16 bars before the drop, then jump back to 0 % on the drop.
Does it work on the master or on a group?
Yes, on a single track, a group bus or the master. On the master, start with lower REVERB and NOISE depths so the build-up stays clean.
What happens at 0 %?
Nothing. The moment BUILD hits 0 %, BTA Rise switches to your untouched sound within 1.5 ms - no reverb or echo tails, so the first kick of your drop hits at full punch.
Can it get too loud?
No. A safety limiter keeps the output below -0.3 dBFS, even with Output at +18 dB.
Does it add latency?
No, the latency is 0 samples.
