Sound Character and Controls

The eXplorer 11 upgrade is built around a Ribbon Slider with a tempo-based slide-back option, which lets you move a preset in a controlled way over time. An amount control handles how much of the effect is added to the signal.

The plugin includes 50 presets and offers MIDI control, so the parameters can be mapped to hardware or a controller. The interface can be displayed at 100%, 125%, 150% or 200% GUI size, and the display animates in response to audio and effects.
