Puremagnetik describes their latest plug-in release, Shrike, as an advanced shimmer designer. They say that it processes an octave-shifted reverb through a matrix of 4 LFOs to create pulsating, fluctuating space effects. Between the different LFO settings (rate and waveform) you can generate cross-modulation from the controls, getting pulses and swell patterns that never repeat.
A spokesperson told us, "It is interesting to set different rates per control for overlapping, modulating spaces. Or turn the LFO rates toward the fastest speed for amplitude modulation artifacts. A slapback delay adds to the sound design possibilities as you can adjust it according to your spatial feedback needs."
Minimum Requirements
• OSX 10.8 or Windows 10 x64
