03In depth

Sound and Control Layout

UniMagic keeps its controls to a minimum. The amount control sets how much of the effect is added to the signal, so you can blend it in gradually on a vocal or instrument track.

The ribbon slider is the main way to shape a sound. Each preset type has a predefined range of parameters, and the ribbon moves through that range for fine adjustment. Rob Papen says you do not need to understand the effect type to use it, only to load a preset and add it to your track.

Tempo-Based Slide-Back and MIDI Control

The ribbon slider includes a spring-back feature that can be set to a tempo. You can choose from selectable time divisions, which lets the movement of the effect follow the rhythm of your project.

MIDI control is available, so you can automate or perform parameter changes from a controller. The plugin offers 100%, 125%, 150%, and 200% interface sizes to suit different screens.
