ShapeMod

Instant Volume Ducking

ShapeMod is a volume modulation plugin that provides full flexibility to achieve modern volume ducking effects in seconds.

Introducing: ShapeMod

What can ShapeMod do?

• Create ducking effects on any sound to add rhythm to your audio.
• Quickly add sidechain-style volume ducking to bass.
• Add movement to synth chords and arpeggios.
• Create tension and release during key moments of a track.
• Rhythmically filter out unwanted frequencies.

Full Control Over Your Sound

Within ShapeMod's main envelope section, you can design the exact volume ducking shape for your sound to follow. With no limit to the number of possible modulation nodes, you can draw the shape in intricate detail, before using the hi and lo frequency sliders to focus the ducking on a specific frequency band.

Create pumping sidechain bass effects in time with your kick drum, draw repeating tremolo effects for synths & pads, map out precise rhythmic gating effects, and much more.

Tweak the Modulation

Once you've drawn your modulation shape, you can dial in the depth of the effect using the Amount control and set the time interval of the envelope to determine how long the envelope takes to complete a cycle. Set rapid stutter effects on 1/6th notes, or build a slow and evolving volume swell over 16 bars, or anything in between.

For in-depth editing, adjust the mid/side balance of the effect, adjust the phase of the envelope to change the start point, or introduce pulse width modulation to add an analogue feel to the effect.
