Stereo Expansion and Width Control

MStereoSpread offers a standard comb-based stereo expansion algorithm alongside a separate expansion algorithm that MeldaProduction describes as tight-sounding and suitable for most audio material. The developer states that this algorithm is fully mono compatible.

An integrated stereo field analyser displays the stereo width the plugin produces, so you can see the change while you adjust the settings rather than judging it by ear alone. M/S processing and single-channel processing are both supported.

Modulation and Automation

Any parameter can be modulated. Each modulator can act as an LFO, an audio level follower, an envelope, a randomizer or a pitch detector, which lets the stereo effect move over time instead of staying static.

The plugin includes four multiparameters, adjustable oscillator shape, smart randomisation and MIDI controllers with MIDI learn. Automatic gain compensation and a safety limiter are built in, and up-sampling is adjustable from 1x to 16x.
