Instantly unlock studio magic An extremely common studio trick that has been used for decades on some of the biggest hits ever heard MicroShift 5 accurately recreates the vibe and character of pitch-shifting effects found on vintage hardware effects processors. Using proprietary modeling techniques MicroShift 5 Digital Delivery captures the quirks of each hardware unit its modeled after in immense detail even down to the saturation and harmonics that result from analog circuitry and de-glitching circuits. Using MicroShift will allow you to implement the same width character and vibe of the vintage (and often rare and pricey) hardware units into your material through a refined interface thats quick and easy to navigate and get running straight away. Still used to this day by professional mixing engineers pitch shifting is vital in achieving a wall-of-sound when it comes to background vocals pianos electric guitars or bass guitar. Quickly MicroShift 5 will become part of your “bag of tricks” to transform simple and bland mono tracks into wide thick and characterful stereo tracks that blend seamlessly into your mix giving you a professional edge to your production. Built for experimentation A simple yet powerful tool MicroShift 5 simply takes the pitch of your signal and shifts up or down a few cents within each channel of your signal and adds a dash of delay. Theres no limit to the instruments or sound sources that MicroShift can work with be it vocals synthesizers guitars percussion or sound effects you can create a huge wall-to-wall barrage of sound that fills out the stereo image to perfection. Featuring an exclusive Focus control you can dial in the effect a certain frequency range giving you a huge range of flexible control of the sound no matter what instrument or sound source you are using. With Focus you can choose to spread only the high frequencies of a bass guitar and retain the punch and thundering pump of the lows while the high frequencies are spread in the stereo field. You can use this to great effect with mono drum and bass loops where you want the low frequencies to go unaffected and the mid-range to highs are spread wide. Try adding MicroShift to your Mellotron parts to achieve the signature sound of 70s funk or add to any impact or riser sound effects in your cinematic mix to add tension and thickness in those vital drops that bring the listener closer. Built to experiment with the sleek and intuitive interface means that no matter what sound source youre working with you wont get bogged down with difficult to understand parameters and instead youll be able to flex your creativity much quicker than ever before. Three different styles Featuring three different styles of pitch shifting from three world-renowned studio hardware units the MicroShfit gives you plenty of options to chose from to manipulate your audio to get the desired effect. Style 1 is modeled on a preset from a H3000-style hardware processor capturing every detail of the response including the sound of the analog saturation. Style 2 is modeled from another H3000-style preset with a large number of delay variations and a unique frequency response that provides the focused and cutting sonic signature. Lastly Style 3 is modeled from an AMS hardware effects processor delivering a much wider delay variation and a more stable effect thanks to the de-glitching circuit present in the original hardware. Having three different styles makes the MicroShift the obvious choice for studio mixing engineers giving you instant access to three unique flavours that may suit a wide range of different instruments meaning no matter what session comes into your studio you will be ready for any challenge.
