Key features
- Stereo widening and mono upmixing. WIDE widens an existing stereo image and also upmixes a mono source into a stereo field, covering both tasks in one plugin.
- Frequency dependent width. Width can be set per frequency range, so the middle or the bass can be given a little more width than the rest of the spectrum.
- Mono compatibility check. A switch lets the mono mixdown be checked quickly, with the added components kept from cancelling by default.
- Crack, keygen and serial variants. Searches for the name often pair it with crack, keygen and serial key, the most frequent strings for the Windows build.
- Repack, .rar and .iso builds. Repack packages of WIDE are distributed as .rar and .iso files, and the search string repack is attached to the release.

WIDE is available as VST3, AU and AAX for Windows 10 and macOS 10.15, with native support for Apple Silicon listed.
