MuSiCX (Multiband Sidechain Compressor & Expander) is a dynamic parametric equaliser with five adjacent bands separated by filters of 2nd to 20th order. Each of these bands’ envelope generators are controlled by pre-filtered signals of any track in a project. The routing between the tracks is done via internal host-independent side chains.
SCAF consists of a filter and an amplifier section. Both can be controlled by any track in your project. The routing between the tracks is done via internal host-independent side chains. The sections are independent so the filter’s cutoff frequency might follow the volume envelope of one track’s signal while an other track conducts the amplifier. You set the start and endpoints for gain and cutoff frequency. So the amp section can work in compressing or expanding mode. And the filter can sweep from low to high frequencies or vice versa while the controlling signals volume rises from zero to full scale.
The effect section of Cromina String Machine as separate plugin with enhanced options. Select from 4 different chorus types (modeled after vintage circuits), 3 phaser models and 2 delays! CromFX is the perfect addon for our string machine, but can of course add brightness and warmth to any sound source. In the chorus section you will find the lush and warm chorus of Cromina plus 3 more variations, modeled after famous designs from Korg™ and Roland™.
The original unit was available as an expensive module for the Moog™ modular system. The frequency shifter is not a pitch shifter, which changes frequencies by a multiplikation. Instead it shifts all frequencies/harmonics by adding a fixed amount. The sound reminds to a ring modulator, but unlike this, it is possible to get the upshifted and downshifted signal seperately. Unlike a ring modulator, the frequency shifter is also capable of changing the signal by a low amount, e.g. 1 Hz, to obtain effects known as “Barberpole flanging”.This plugin has some additional features like delays for each section, an LFO (all host synced), an envelope with MIDI trigger and an envelope follower to modulate shift and/or volume. Included is a version with a smaller GUI for laptops and an extra version with 2x oversampling.
Give your digital tracks a heavenly warmth. Or something a whole lot hotter. Whether you want to burnish your tracks to an angelic warmth or heat things up with some rich, devilish distortion, Antares’s Tube plug-in gives you the tools to create a wide range of modeled analog tube effects. Based on technology from Antares’ multi-award-winning Microphone Modeler plug-in, Tube is incredibly easy to use and so DSP efficient that even a modest native system will support dozens of tracks’ worth. (In informal tests, a Mac PowerBook G4 400MHz was able to provide well over 40 instances of Tube.) And with an astonishingly low price, you won’t have to sell your soul to afford it.
Your favourite synth (-plugin) has only one oscillator, but you want to have some beat frequencies? Want to make a brass sound more full, fatten up vocals or drums? dTUNE will do this by adding two detuned voices to your original signal. Very easy to use: just set the amount of detuning, how much the 2 signals (up and down detuned) should be spread in the stereo panorama, and how much of them should be mixed to the original (stereo) signal. This is not another chorus plugin. dTUNE doubles the incoming signal, constantly tuning one copy up and one down according to the Amount knob and mixes this to the original signal.
SpaceCraft Granular Synth is well known for providing instant gratification and inspiring creative flow. Two parallel granular engines provide grain frequency/length control, sample position LFO, stereo reverb/filter and pitch/ring-modulation. The innovative grain pitch sequencer, MIDI / MPE and live sampling capability open up further depths of performance and expression.
