Effector

Image-Line

Where to get itAvailable from Image-Lineimage-line.com

Effector is a multi-effect plugin offering 12 performance-oriented effects that process one at a time, each controlled via an expressive X/Y pad linked to two key parameters per effect. Built around real-time modulation and beat-sync capabilities, it emphasizes hands-on control through an LFO section with tempo-synced modulation (8/1 to 1/8 beats per cycle), making it ideal for live performance or studio manipulation of distortion, filtering, delays, reverbs, and spectral effects.

0112 performance-oriented effects (Distort, Lo-Fi, Flanger, Phaser, Filter, Delay, Reverb, Stereo, Trans, Grain, Vox, Ring)
02X/Y pad with linked performance parameters per effect
03LFO with tempo-synced modulation (8/1 to 1/8 beats per cycle)
04X MOD and Y MOD multipliers for modulation intensity control
05LFO waveform selection: Sine, Saw, Square
06Tempo multiplier knob for cycle speed adjustment
07Input/Output Gain controls
08Dry/Wet mix control
09Momentary or toggle Bypass modes

Things to Try

  • 01Use the X/Y pad to modulate Distortion amount and tone control simultaneously for expressive speaker-driven distortion effects
  • 02Set Trans effect with tempo-switched grain size for side-chain-style pumping synchronized to track tempo
  • 03Apply Vox effect with formant filter (X) and throat size (Y) controls to create human vocal resonance sounds
  • 04Combine LFO tempo-synced modulation with Delay or Reverb feedback controls (X MOD/Y MOD at non-zero values) for automatic parameter movement
