July 1st marks International Joke Day (who knew?) and plugin developer Caelum Audio is celebrating the occasion with the release of a hilariously – and deliberately – bad plugin that the company promises will "transform your music into something only a toddler could appreciate".
Toyphonic Micraliser is a mic and speaker modelling plugin that emulates the tinny and unpleasant sound of cheap and undesirable gear. Imagine a children's toy microphone that your three-year-old accidentally dropped in the bath run through a budget Bluetooth speaker, and you'll get the idea. As Caelum Audio puts it, "if your singing sounds like a dying cat, this finally kills the cat."
