Sculpt Sound in Cold Light
Enter Icewave — a multi-effect engine born from the balance between movement and stillness. Where Sound Melts, Fractures, and Reforms in Waves of Ice.Â
Frozen Motion and Depth
Freeze transients in time, drift harmonics like vapor, and blur edges into a luminous frost. Every control reacts like frozen water meeting light — smooth, reflective, and alive with energy.
Reforms in Waves of Ice
From shimmering diffusion to fragmented echoes, Icewave lets you reshape texture itself. At its core, Icewave is motion suspended — a living reflection of sound caught in the cold.

What do we have hear?
Shape. Freeze. Melt. Redefine Your Sound.
Step into the frozen frontier of sound design with ICEWAVE — a multi-effect module that bends, blurs, and sculpts audio into crystalline form. Built from five interactive effect engines, ICEWAVE transforms static tones into glacial movement, shattered textures, and shimmering reflections.
Each control reacts like frost under light — organic, unpredictable, and deeply expressive. Whether you’re chasing smooth atmospheric layers, fractured percussion trails, or liquid-glass echoes, ICEWAVE turns cold precision into art.
Sculpt, melt, and reshape your sound into something beautifully unfamiliar.
Check out the individual Effect Modules below.
Fracture: Glassing Transient Shaper
Breaks your signal like ice cracking on impact. Fracture adds transient-reactive movement with a glassy edge, enhancing punch while leaving a trail of crystalline shimmer. Perfect for giving drums, plucks, and synths a sharp, frozen attack that instantly cuts through the mix.
Cryotone: Dynamic Cold/Warm Tilt EQ
Balances brightness and warmth like temperature control for sound. Soft passages become glacial and pristine, while loud moments melt slightly into smooth warmth. Cryotone adapts dynamically to your performance, keeping every mix balanced and emotionally alive.
Drifts: Dual Detune Mirror
Creates slow, hypnotic detuning between two mirrored voices. As they drift apart and realign, you get a motion that feels alive — fluid, wide, and constantly evolving. Drifts transforms any static tone into a living, breathing shimmer of ice and reflection.
Icicles: Granular Glitch Reverb
A reverb that refuses to stay still. Icicles freezes reflections mid-air, fracturing them into shimmering fragments that pulse and glitch in rhythmic motion. Each tail feeds back into itself, reshaping into granular bursts of texture that sparkle like ice scattering light.
Frost Haze: Rhythmic PingPong Delay
A stereo delay that dances through space like drifting snow. Frost Haze sends echoes bouncing left and right with evolving diffusion and rhythmic precision. Its feedback path creates a soft haze that lingers — part delay, part motion blur — wrapping your mix in hypnotic stereo movement.
- Five multi-effects designed to shape and transform sound.
- Hybrid delay, reverb, modulation, and tone engines.
- Built-in randomization for infinite variation.
- Tempo-synced timing with adaptive diffusion movement.
- Ultra-low CPU impact for seamless layering.
- Built-in width for 200%+ dimensional emulation.
- Input rendering modulation for musical movement.
- Full dry/wet routing per effect module.
- Multi-Genre, cinematic, and experimental use.
4 Bonus Tools
Exclusive & 100% Royalty Free...
Icewave: MIDI Collection ($19.95 Value)
The Icewave MIDI Collection delivers a huge library of evolving melodic ideas — each one crafted as a full-length, multi-section composition rather than a single loop. Inside, you’ll find icy chord progressions, layered melodies, switch-ups, and rhythmic patterns that unfold naturally over time, giving you instant song structures to build from. Each MIDI Stem lets you customize every note, swap instruments, or reshape melodies instantly. Whether you’re making trap, R&B, pop, or atmospheric electronic music, these MIDIs give you a powerful starting point that stays perfectly aligned with Icewave’s cold, modern sonic identity.
Icewave: Loop Collection ($19.95 Value)
The Icewave Loop Collection goes far beyond traditional loops — every file is a complete instrumental stem with multiple switch-ups, melodic changes, and section variations you can slice, rearrange, or use straight out of the box. From cold pianos and clean guitars to icy plucks, bells, pads, and modern rhythmic layers, each loop evolves over time to help you build full tracks without repetition fatigue. Every audio stem includes its corresponding MIDI, giving you both instant plug-and-play inspiration and full creative control. It’s the perfect toolkit for turning a single idea into a complete song — fast, flexible, and fully aligned with Icewave’s frozen sonic character.
Icewave: Drum & Perc Collection ($19.95 Value)
The Icewave Drum & Percussion Collection includes 32 complete drum and percussion stems, each built as a full rhythmic performance with multiple switch-ups and arrangement sections — not just one repeating loop. Expect bouncing trap percussion, clean modern drum patterns, icy hi-hats, punchy kicks, crisp snares, textured percs, and evolving fills that make arranging effortless. Every full drum stem comes with its matching MIDI, so you can customize grooves, swap sounds, or rebuild entire kits with total freedom. Whether you’re creating hard-hitting trap, smooth R&B, or modern pop, these drums give you a polished, ready-to-build rhythmic foundation shaped to match Icewave’s cold, modern vibe.

As with most moonwave plugins they are pretty fun, and have a great GUI. The sound is a tier lower than the highest end plugins in the game, but they also don't cost the same. Especially considering all the discounts etc Aaron throws our way.

I consider Icewave a texture maker - it has a variety of different delay/reverbs that allow me to dial in a nice texture based on the audio input. It's unique and useful.

My favourite Multi-FX plugin after Parallax, Aaron really owned the frosty effect. IceWave actually feels like being in a tundra and some presets feel like sound filtered through a wall of ice. Very versatile and I love how there is always a movement option to spice things up, would need 5 different plugins to do what IceWave does in one. I'm not giving 5 stars just because some fx combo (even presets) can generate artifacts, but I guess this can happen with experimental multi fx. I don't know if lower velocity or more delay dampening could help (it's not my CPU since Parallax was doing fine). Still, extremely satisfying plugin 🙂

I love the way I can tweak a sound to give it glazed over sound and my only complaint is I am take my track into Logic in order to use then process it and then comeback, should love to see AAX version to of a lot of the plug ins I have purchased, Any future in that?

This Fx unit is awesome and super unique! Plenty of parameters and modules to warp the sound of my instruments for an icy cold glacial tone. All types from ambient to weird effects, this thing is very inspiring!
