FX Modulator

Steinberg

Where to get itIncluded with Cubase. It is part of that DAW, not a separate download.steinberg.net

FX Modulator is a multi-effect modulation plug-in for Cubase Pro that combines several modulation effects with an integrated LFO system and custom curve editor. It allows you to shape modulation curves freely and apply them to up to 6 effect modules simultaneously, with triggering via MIDI or side-chain inputs to create everything from classic ducking effects to rhythmic modulation patterns.
