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

ModMachine is a multi-effects plugin that combines delay modulation and filter modulation in a single processor. The filter's frequency and resonance can be modulated by an LFO or set manually, with the delay offering independent tempo-sync control and feedback distortion via a Drive parameter. It's designed for creating vibrato, chorus-like effects, and rhythmic filtering applied either in the delay feedback loop or at the output stage.

Written from the manual and checked against it. How we check

Key Features

01Delay modulation with tempo-sync and Rate control (1/1 to 1/32, straight, triplet, dotted)
02Filter modulation with LFO or Manual mode for frequency and Q-factor
03Low-Pass, Band-Pass, and High-Pass filter types
04Filter Position switching between Loop (feedback) and Output placement
05Delay Nudge button for analog tape-style speed simulation
06Drive parameter for distortion in the feedback loop
07Spatial offset controls for stereo panorama on frequency and Q-factor modulation
08Wet/dry Mix control

Things to Try

  • 01Use Delay Nudge to momentarily speed up audio and simulate analog tape machine effects
  • 02Set Width to create a vibrato or chorus-like effect by modulating the delay
  • 03Turn Filter Position to Loop to distort repeats over time by routing the filter into the feedback path with Drive active
  • 04Adjust Spatial offset on Frequency or Q-Factor clockwise for a pronounced stereo panorama effect
