Wave Shifter

Minimal Audio

Where to get itAvailable from Minimal Audiominimal.audio

Wave Shifter is a frequency shifting, ring modulation, and amp modulation plugin that modulates the input signal to generate new harmonics and inharmonic sidebands. It combines synthesizer-style controls like FM and soft sync with a built-in LFO for classic sweeping effects, rhythmic movement, and random modulation. The plugin excels at creating unique harmonic distortion and spatial sound effects ranging from lush ambiance to experimental textures.
