01Overview

SphereQuad is built for adding rhythmic movement, filter sweeps and stereo motion to a mix without rebuilding effect chains each time. Its modules can be activated individually or mixed and routed in different combinations. The developer describes it as useful on everything from synth leads to bass lines, and says it can also be applied to full mixes for breakdown-style filter sweeps. It ships with 64 presets organized by instrument group and effect.

Stereo Filtering and Sequenced Movement

The core of SphereQuad is a stereo filter fed by the flanger, phaser and chorus modules. Each side has its own filter, so shapes, speeds, ranges and types can be set separately for the left and right channels. This lets the filtered sound move across the stereo field.

A 16-step sequencer controls the filter cutoff. It can be synced to the BPM of your track or run freely. A real-time waveform display shows how the cutoff changes the signal, which helps when judging the stereo effect.

Routing, Output Controls and Presets

Signal routing between the flanger, phaser, chorus and filter modules can be changed to create different effect combinations. The master output section provides a Dry/Wet control and a Saturation dial for adding odd harmonics and overall intensity.

The 64 presets are named by instrument group and effect, so they are easy to browse. They serve as starting points that you can then edit, and a full PDF manual is included.
