ShaperBox 3 Bundle Upgrade from TimeShaper 3 + VolumeShaper 7: Multi-Effect Plugin by Cableguys

Switching on the Audio mode restarts the LFO with each transient, so ShaperBox can track the rhythm of drums, melodies, basslines or full mixes. Three triggering algorithms are available: Drums, General and Complex.

An External Sidechain Input lets the triggering follow a separate signal, such as a kick, so a bassline can be ducked to a rhythm that is not four-on-the-floor. VolumeShaper also gains a Show External Sidechain view, which overlays the kick on the bassline so a ducking curve can be drawn to match it.

The pointer tool puts the main editing functions under left-click operation. Angled breakpoints, curve bending and selection editing are included.

The Master Mix algorithm is improved for dry-to-wet blends, and a master Bypass button switches to the original dry signal without clicks. LiquidShaper adds a positive/negative feedback mode and 4, 8, 12 or 16 phasing stages, and its Centre and Feedback can be modulated across three frequency bands.

The upgrade is aimed at producers who already own TimeShaper 3 and VolumeShaper 7 and want the ShaperBox 3 bundle without a full purchase. It suits rhythmic editing, glitch and stutter effects, multiband mixing with the Compressor as a separate insertable tool, and sound design with flanging and phasing. Users who only own VolumeShaper 7 are directed to a different upgrade path on the vendor's site.
