Improve the stereo imaging of your mono and stereo signals with Sonic Spread from Rave Generation, a plug-in that uses micro delays and the Haas effect to enhance the spatial immersion of signals with precision. Sporting delay, stereo width, volume, pan, and dry/wet mix controls, as well as high- and low-pass filters on each channel, you can easily shape the character of your stereo field.
Sonic Spread features integrated clipping protections, employing soft and hard clipping to keep your audio crystal clear without harshness when your output volume is set to a very high level. Dedicated controls are provided for mid/side processing. Furthermore, Sonic Spread can use the well-established psychoacoustic principles of the Hass effect to convert mono signals into articifical stereo ones by splitting the mono signal into two channels and using delay and frequency shaping to give the impression of a true stereo signal, a technique revolutionized by Capitol Records in the '60s. Sonic Spread is available in VST3 format for Windows machines and VST3 or AU formats for macOS computers.
- Delay Control: independently adjust the delay for the left and right channels, creating a wider stereo image
- Stero Width Control: precisely control the stereo width to widen or narrow the stereo field, enhancing the spatial characteristics of your audio
- Frequency Shaping: use high-pass and low-pass filters on both left and right channels for detailed tonal shaping
- Volume and Pan Adjustments: separate controls for mid and side channels allow you to balance the stereo field and control panoramic placement
- Dry/Wet Mix: adjust the blend between processed (wet) and unprocessed (dry) signals for flexible effect intensity
- Clipping Protection: Built-in soft and hard clipping prevents any peaks above 0 dB, ensuring a clean and distortion-free output
- Duophonic Effect Capabilities: simulate stereo sound from mono sources by desynchronizing two channels, with frequency shaping and optional reverb or stereo echo
