Sinevibes has announced the release of a hybrid vibrato effect plugin for Mac, Windows and Linux. Due to its unique design, Duality delivers much less coloration and more pitch modulation than traditional phase shifters – producing an effect that adds a deep “vibe”, but doesn’t reveal itself.
While it’s somewhat similar in nature to a phase shifter, in this effect, the notches in the frequency spectrum and the phase modulation are created separately – using multiple different DSP algorithm blocks. With this unique setup, Duality makes it possible to control the spectrum notch emphasis independently from vibrato, and is capable of producing cleaner and deeper pitch modulation – akin to a rotating speaker.
The plugin also avoids sound coloration and latency since it uses no feedback and no delay lines. Duality works exceptionally well on instruments like electric guitar, electric piano, tone-wheel organ as well as mellow synths or bells – adding an incredibly beautiful, hypnotizing vibe, while also being able to go into psychedelic effect territory at more extreme settings.
Available in VST3, AU and AAX plugin, Duality is priced $29 USD at the Sinevibes store.
