New iOS Morphing FX Processor, ShapeStage
Developer Cem Olcay has introduced ShapeStage, an AUv3 audio effect plugin that features a multi-stage morphing architecture.
Olcay says that ShapeStage is designed for:
- Adding movement and evolution to static sounds
- Creating complex rhythmic effects that respond to your playing
- Designing unique atmospheric textures and soundscapes
- Adding character and dimension to any audio source
- Building custom effect chains with precise control
Features:
- Multi-Stage Processing: Shape your sound through four distinct processing stages (A, B, C, D), each with independent parameter settings for drive, character, pitch shifting, time effects, motion, stereo spread, and texture.
- Smooth Morphing Engine: Morph between stages to create evolving, dynamic effects that transform over time. Go from subtle warmth to extreme sonic manipulation with a single control.
- Multiple FX Processors:
- Drive: From subtle tube-like warmth to aggressive distortion that adds rich harmonic content
- Character: Shape tonal quality with algorithms ranging from warm tape-like saturation to edgy wave-folding
- Drift: Pitch shifting from -12 to +12 semitones with unique stereo detune capabilities
- Motion: Delay processing (0-1000ms) with modulated feedback for evolving echo patterns
- Flow: Dynamic feedback and modulation control creating movement within the time-based effects
- Spread: Enhanced stereo imaging from focused center to dramatic width with frequency-dependent processing
- Texture: Granular processing that creates complex sonic textures with variable density and character
- Comprehensive Modulation System:
- 3 LFOs with multiple waveforms and tempo sync
- 2 loopable envelope generators with MIDI trigger support
- Envelope follower that responds to your audio’s dynamics
- Modulation matrix for complex routing possibilities
- Extensive Modulation Matrix: Route any modulation source to virtually any parameter, with adjustable polarity and amount controls. Create pulsating rhythmic effects, smooth transitions, or dynamic responses to your playing.
- AUv3 Plugin Format: Works with all AUv3-compatible hosts including AUM, Logic Pro, GarageBand, Loopy Pro, Cubasis, and more.
ShapeStage is available now for $6.99.
