Stereo Generation and Width Controls

The plugin offers four programs for turning mono sources into stereo: Detune, Delay, Reflect and Split. Detune is aimed at wide vocal and lead sounds, while Split divides the signal into frequency bands and pans each band left and right.

For placement, the Width, Pan and Rotation controls let you narrow a sound to bring it forward or widen it for more space. A Pre button moves panning ahead of the width stage for wider auto-pan sweeps. Rotation pans the center signal while leaving the sides in place, so reverb on a drum loop can stay put as the kit moves.

An LFO can modulate key controls and sync to your project tempo.

Metering and Bass Bypass

The centre panel includes a goniometer for viewing the stereo placement of your sound, a phase correlation meter and input and output level meters. The phase correlation meter, combined with the MONO button in the output section, helps you check how your mix holds up in mono.

The bass bypass applies a crossover so stereo processing affects only the higher frequencies, leaving the low end untouched. A mono bass option sums the bass line into a single mono signal.
