MondoMod: Modulation Effect Plugin by Waves

MondoMod is a modulation effect plugin from Waves that combines frequency, amplitude and rotational panning. It is built to reshape tremolo, vibrato and stereo panning into effects that go beyond standard stereo placement.

01Overview

MondoMod is a stereo width and modulation effect from Waves in the Effects category. It applies frequency modulation, amplitude modulation and rotational panning at the same time, so a single plugin can handle movement, motion and depth. Waves describes the plugin as ranging from subtle to extreme, with modulation rates high enough to move into ring modulation and lo-fi territory. It is available in VST2, AU and AAX formats.

Modulation, Panning and Stereo Width in One Plugin

MondoMod lets you use frequency, amplitude and rotational panning together rather than picking one effect at a time. Its 360-degree rotational panning moves sound around the stereo field and can be set over any range, which gives a sound space and motion beyond simple left and right placement.

Using the FM modulation controls, you can create subtle chorusing, doubling and image widening. Turning FM modulation off adds a tight delay to the processed sound, which is useful when you want a short, controlled echo rather than a wide modulated texture.

Extreme Rates for Ring Mod and Lo-Fi Effects

The modulation rate reaches 6 kHz. At rates this high, the modulation moves past typical movement effects and into ring modulation, producing metallic, lo-fi and sound-design textures. Waves positions the plugin for sound designers who want modulation that sounds unexpected.

Because the same controls cover gentle chorusing at one end of the range and ring modulation at the other, MondoMod suits both subtle mix processing and experimental sound design.

Questions, answered

What formats does MondoMod support?

MondoMod is available in VST2, AU and AAX formats.

What operating systems does MondoMod run on?

MondoMod runs on Windows and macOS. On Mac it supports macOS Monterey 12, Ventura 13, Sonoma 14 and Sequoia 15. On PC it requires Windows 10 or later.

Can MondoMod create ring modulation effects?

Yes. The modulation rate goes up to 6 kHz, which is high enough for ring modulation and lo-fi effects.

Can MondoMod do more than panning?

Yes. It uses frequency, amplitude and rotational panning simultaneously, so it covers modulation and stereo movement in one plugin.
