Modulation results may be so helpful with regards to including curiosity and movement to a mixture. Whereas typically only one could make an enormous distinction to the sound, typically stacking them can take the curiosity degree up a number of notches. One of many issues with modulation plugin stacking, like with all plugins, is that it may be time consuming including them to the sign path and setting every one up. SSL’s new Module8 multi-modulation plugin places the preferred modulation results multi function bundle, making setup and creating new results a breeze.
Module8 options 6 LFO-based (Low Frequency Oscillator) processors – phaser, flanger, refrain, vibrato, tremolo and panner. Whereas the tremolo, vibrato and panner most likely gained’t be used as a lot because the others, they do present movement to a sound supply, and having them simply out there in a single bundle implies that you’ll experiment in areas that you simply won’t have considered beforehand.
Modular
Every of those results is by itself module, which may be positioned in any order by merely dragging and dropping. On the high of the module is a Depth management, after which from 2 to five separate parameter controls relying upon the impact. Close to the underside of every module is the LFO management, with a big Price management and the power to sync to the tempo of the monitor or set it manually. There’s even a selector for be aware denominations, together with dotted and triplet notes. Every module may be set to completely different charges and settings.
On the very backside of every module is a small show that exhibits the LFO form, which may be chosen to the appropriate of the show. There’s additionally a setting for International LFO, which implies that all results will probably be set to the identical LFO settings. This International grasp may be discovered on the backside middle of the plugin.
There’s Extra
There are additionally two further modules under the primary results modules known as Lo-Fi and Area. Lo-Fi is basically a bit crusher, with Saturation, Retro, Sparkle and Combine parameter controls. Area is a reverb, with Predelay, Dimension, Modulation and Combine controls.
On the backside of the module you’ll additionally discover Enter and Output controls, together with Stereoize (efficient on mono tracks), grasp Depth, Width, and Combine controls.
Module8 seems to be aimed extra at digital music producers, however I can see any mixer utilizing it, although most likely not using the Lo-Fi and Area modules all that a lot. That mentioned, the power to simply stack and configure results can result in new sounds that mixers of any sort of music crave.
Module8 is accessible in a number of codecs together with VST2, VST3, AAX and AU as a part of the ever-growing SSL Full subscription from $14.99 per/m, SSL’s Lease To Personal plan, or perpetual buy for $99 by way of the SSL eStore.
