Where to get itIncluded with Logic Pro. It is part of that DAW, not a separate download.apple.com

Ringshifter is a modulation plugin that combines a ring modulator with a frequency shifter effect. It processes input signals through an internal sine wave oscillator or external side chain to create metallic, clangorous, and phasing effects ranging from subtle tremolo to robot-like timbres. The plugin offers four operational modes and extensive modulation control via envelope follower and LFO.

Written from the manual and checked against it. How we check

Key Features

01Four mode buttons: Single Freq Shift, Dual Freq Shift, OSC Ring Mod, Side Chain Ring Mod
02Internal sine wave oscillator with Linear/Exponential frequency scaling
03Delay section with Sync button for tempo-locked note values and Low/High Cut filters
04Envelope follower with Sensitivity, Attack, and Decay controls
05LFO with Symmetry/Smooth waveform shaping and Sync button
06Output parameters: Dry/Wet, Feedback, Stereo Width with modulation depth controls

Things to Try

  • 01Use high Feedback setting with delay time less than 10 ms for comb-filtering effects
  • 02Combine high Feedback setting with longer delay time to produce continuously rising and falling frequency shift effects
  • 03Use Feedback in combination with a slow oscillator sweep for rich phasing sound
  • 04Adjust Envelope Follower Sensitivity at lower settings to react only to dominant signal peaks, or at higher settings to track signal more closely
