Darkpalace Studio has introduced a new audio effect plugin which lets you widen your sound. The Caterpillar stereo enhancer applies bell-shaped peak filters with alternating gain to the left and right audio channels, creating a unique stereo effect while maintaining full mono compatibility.
Originally a part of BUTTERFLY, CATERPILLAR brings the SpreadEQ to a standalone format allowing you to add stereo information without heavily sacrificing your mono image.
By boosting and cutting specific frequencies differently in each channel, Caterpillar can:
- Enhance the perceived stereo width.
- Make the soundstage feel broader and more immersive.
- Be used to create formant-like filters.
- Create unique resonances in the bass domain or the high frequency spectrum.
- Create transitions by applying modulation effects or automation.
The plugin is free to download for Windows, Mac and Linux (VST3, AU, LV2 and CLAP).
