Radiation

Dusty Devices

Where to get itAvailable from Dusty Devicesreasonstudios.com

Radiation is a Rack Extension effect that simulates FM radio transmission and reception, combining a multi-stage broadcast processor with a dual-station FM transceiver. It processes audio through stereo widening, adaptive gain leveling, and multiband limiting before frequency-modulating the signal at carrier frequencies for transmission and demodulation, creating a distinctive radio-like coloration and character.
