01Overview

Rocket Fuel is built around modulation. Its effect chain can hold up to 12 effects drawn from a set of nine, including reverb, delay, chorus, distortion and filter. An XY pad lets you assign multiple chain parameters to each axis, so a single gesture can move several effects at once. The developer describes the plugin as suited to vocals, single instruments and full mixes alike.

03In depth

Modulation with an XY Pad and LFOs

The XY pad is the main performance control. Each axis can drive multiple parameters across the FX chain, and the pad works alongside four distinct LFO shapes. Each LFO can be fine-tuned, so you can shape anything from slow, subtle movement to fast rhythmic changes.

Because the effects are stacked, modulation can affect the sound in layers. A filter, a delay and a distortion stage can all respond to the same movement, which makes it practical for building evolving pads, basslines and rhythmic textures.

Interface, Randomize and Presets

The interface is fully scalable and built for quick adjustment. LFO and XY pad macros can be dragged and dropped to re-route modulation without digging through menus.

The randomize function generates new settings with one click, which is useful for finding starting points you would not reach by hand. You can save results as presets. The plugin also includes hundreds of modulation-focused presets, along with FX chain and LFO presets you can use as a base for your own edits.
