Plug-In Suite
The plug-ins to be produced will include: 1) Stereo Delay A stereo time delay effect with feedback, time, tempo sync and wet/dry control. Including the ability to set time for L and R separately to create panned effects. 2) Stereo Reverb A stereo reverberation effect with size, time and wet/dry control, as well as a sweepable high pass filter on the wet output 3) Spatializer An extension on the Stereo Reverb plugin with a range of controls aimed more at a studio environment than a live performance, Flexgluv parameters will effect the width, reverb mix, and wet/dry controls 4) Gater A tempo synced stutter effect with length, width and wet/dry control. Modelled on the Native Instruments Traktor Gater, included in the Traktors 12 plugin package. 5) High Pass Filter A sweepable high pass filter with frequency and resonance control, visual feedback and a valve distortion. 6) Low Pass Filter A sweepable low pass filter with frequency and resonance control, visual feedback and a valve distortion. 7) Distortion A valve style distortion plug in with drive and character control, as well as parametric EQ. 8) Granualizer As an extension to the project, if all the above plug-ins work well with the interface, and time permits, a granulation effect could be developed with intensity and length control using Sonicbirths granulate effect object. All of the plug-ins will also feature a bypass switch
