AIR Music Technology has launched a modern take on the studio hardware staple of the 80s and 90s – the multi-effects processor.

A plugin that is as simple, or as complex as the user desires, Sprite does things not possible in a hardware unit.

Make synths shine, bring guitars to life, and sprinkle audio fairy dust on vocals. The simple user interface gives fast control of every element, offering sound shaping of effects in seconds, but this is just the start.
