MicroShift

Where to get itAvailable from Soundtoyssoundtoys.com

MicroShift is a stereo widening plugin that uses micro pitch-shifting and delay to thicken and widen vocals, instruments, and backing tracks. It models classic hardware techniques from the Eventide H3000 and AMS/Neve DMX 15-80, applying small pitch shifts up and down between channels with variable delay to create a wider, thicker stereo image. The Focus knob lets you apply widening selectively to mid and high frequencies while keeping the low end tight.
