G-Sonique Releases Mid-Side Envelope Follower FX Multi-filter+

Mid-Side Envelope Follower FX multi-filter+ is a new VST effect from the G-Creative series (by G-Sonique digital instruments).

Envelope follower is the technology of modulating a filter by the dynamics of a signal  with set attack, release and envelope amounts – simply put, dynamics  and amplitude  of the music signal modulate the cutoff frequency of the filter and the  result is a funky, liquid filtering effect that responds to the musical  material.  But Mid-Side Envelope follower FX multi-filter+ offers much  more... the signal is split into MID (mono)  and stereo (side) parts, each part can be boosted or attenuated to  create larger or smaller panoramic 3D effects, filtered by 9 various  filters and Ring Modulation Twist FX or Analog Distortion FX. Each of  the two filters (of the Mid or Side parts) can be  modulated by an envelope follower (attack, release, envelope amount)  and the dynamics of the music signal as well as with a LFO (speed, depth  and 4 waveforms). If you prefer a less altered signal, a Dry/Wet knob  is available – you can use just 10% wet and  90% dry for more gentle effects, or use a 100% wet (Altered) signal for  a short part of your song, for example in a breakdown, intro or outro.  (using automation in your host application)

If  you are creative enough, and prefer a new progressive sound in your  music Mid-Side Envelope follower FX multi-filter+ will be your favorite  tool of the trade.

Use of Mid-Side envelope follower is almost endless and can be used for example:

-     On stereo beats or percussion to create new, progressive  or crazy, funky sounds.

-     On individual stereo channels (real stereo with MID and SIDE  parts) as synths, pads, FX.

-     On main (stereo bus) channel of dance music (by automation of Dry/Wet knob in host application like Cubase, Fruity  loops etc.)

Top features:

- Mid (mono part of signal) and Side (stereo part) splitter, with  the possibility to boost or attenuate each part. (side stereo signal can  be boosted up to 5x)

- 1x MID and 1x Side envelope follower (with attack, release, envelope  amount control) that modulates the cutoff frequency of the filter.

-  1x MID and 1x Side LFO (with speed and depth control and 4 waveforms:  sine, saw-tooth, triangle, Square) that can additionally modulate cutoff  frequency of the filter.

- 1x Ring modulator Twist FX with knob for controlling amount of the effect from 0 to 100% on MID part

- 1x Analog Distortion effect with a warm sound on the SIDE part of the signal

- Dry/Wet knob of overall effect amount

- Preset manager with selected example presets
