Sinevibes has announced the release of version 2.0 of the Dipole through-zero flanger effect for Mac.
The fifth product in the company’s all-new plugin lineup delivers many highly-requested features, including availability of AU and VST3 formats, user interface size scaling up to 200%, as well as built-in functions for saving, recalling and quickly switching presets.
Dipole is a through-zero flanger. It employs two delay lines with dual-mode feedback, and one of the delays is able to run earlier or later in time in relation to another. As this time difference passes through the zero point, a very special sound transition occurs: with positive feedback, Dipole produces that coveted spectral “swoosh” effect of a jet plane flyby– and with negative feedback the output signal warps and eventually cancels itself out.
In the old days of audio production, such effects were created manually using two parallel tape machines – but now Dipole recreates that charismatic flanging, chorusing and psychedelic stereo widening with much higher fidelity and ease of use. The plugin offers both manual control of the zero point as well as modulation via its built-in multi-waveform generator.

- Added built-in preset manager.

- Increased Feedback control range to -100..+100%.

- More thorough state initialization when receding the reset() call from the host.
- More natural parameter mapping on Frequency, Stereo, Output, Mix controls.
