Modulation Mastery

Detailed Parameters per Effect

Effectrix2 offers a wide range of modulators which can be applied per step. This results in endless possibilities to create vivid soundscapes. The most straight forward modulator is From To. The modulation will start with your parameter value and then transition to the target value.

With the Step Sequencer, you can easily create a modulation per step, turn up the smooth parameter to have a seamless transition. The Envelope Follower directly relates to the power of your audio signal, this allows to create very sound dependent effect variety. The most common use case is the cutoff frequency, reacting to your input amplitude.

Then there are classical LFOs to create rhythmic and repeating patterns to perfectly fit to the speed of your project. The Steptrain is a special variant of the Step Sequencer allowing to create stunning stutter effects when connected to the volume parameter. But of course it can be used on any parameter to create interesting results.

Precision and Artful Surprises

Perfect Balance of Total Control and Unexpected Revelations

Experience the power of advanced mix blending modes to seamlessly merge and shape your audio elements like never before. With intelligent randomization options woven throughout, serendipity becomes your greatest collaborator.

In Effectrix2 you can randomize the whole pattern, a single effect track or the setup of the effect parameters. Sugar Bytes implemented 3 intensity levels of randomization, so random results can range from very subtle to total mayhem. Of course you also have a random modulator you can use for parameter control. With tempo and smoothness you have detailed control over how a randomized parameter will behave.

Effectrix is known for its stunning looping effects. With Effectrix2 Sugar Bytes have extended its capabilities. Looper A and B are packed with state-of-the-art features to bring audio looping to a new level. Apply swing to your loop, define a repeat pattern or gradually change the pitch or size of the loop - the possibilities are endless. Try out presets from the looping category to realize its full potential.
