This monophonic octave plugin was based on the BOSS OC-2 stomp-box, stemming from the early 80s. Well, it’s really no mystery what guitar pedal Octaver 82 is supposed to be emulating… if you don’t know, then either you aren’t a guitarist or you just haven’t been around instrument stores all that much. You’ve also got spectrum view, oscilloscope view, expandable LFO, draggable width parameter, LFO loop length, audio-rate modulation, trigger smoothing, 2x/3x parameter for doubling or tripling patterns, wave or selection controls (flip, resize, move, randomize), copy / paste, undo / redo, and selection skewing. Waveforms can also be synced to beats and follow rhythms.Īll in all, WidthShaper 3 comes with a resizable user interface, retina / HiDPI support, wave presets, custom waves (save up to nine), switch user waves via MIDI, dry / wet mix for all bands, master mix, smoothed bypass, and solo bands. This plugin lets you design your own waveforms, allowing for virtually any kind of mid / side modulation imaginable. The sides-only stereo widening effect has been designed to work in mono as well, no matter how hard you push it. Loved by electronic music producers, WidthShaper 3 lets you tighten up your bass, widen your treble, enhance your drums, and create powerful, memorable risers. Perfect for use on individual tracks, buses, mixing and mastering, even sound design. The three bands of mid / stereo control each come with an envelope follower and drawable LFO.
