Specimen is an audio dissection unit for Windows VST3. It does not simply play a sample back—it breaks it down into editable layers and reveals sounds already hiding inside the source. Drop in any sample and Specimen separates it into five versions of the same material: Body for the tonal core, Impact for transients, Residue for air and grain, Negative for a strange inverse, and Veins for buried resonant traces. Key features Five-layer extraction from any loaded sample Drag, resize, scroll and zoom with the Lens Microtome slicing into as many as 32 playable sections Mutation tools for erosion, crush, unison and spectral staining Four filter characters and three spatial Halo modes Incubate and Init controls for fast experimentation 64-bit VST3 plug-in for Windows. Compatible with VST3-capable hosts.
