What RingerShifter does
The plugin is aimed at synth lines, percussion and experimental textures, where a frequency shifter adds tonal experimentation and creative sound design.
A built-in LFO supplies modulation movement, so the shifted signal can be animated instead of held static. The developer describes the result as indispensable for music producers and sound designers who want to push the character of a track.
Key features
- Frequency shifter. The core module shifts the frequency of the input signal, producing inharmonic tonal changes that suit synths and percussion.
- Built-in LFO. An LFO provides flexible modulation movement that can be applied to the shifting, adding motion to otherwise static loops.
- Tremolo and phasing. Tremolo and phasing effects can be built from the same signal path, covering classic movement effects with the frequency shifter.
- Robotic voice and siren effects. The developer lists siren and robotic voice effects as available sounds for vocal and synth sources.
Compatibility
Minimum OS is Windows 7 and macOS 10.9.5, with 4 GB of RAM and 2 GB of disk space.
