K-Devices, an innovative developer of music software tools, has released Shaper 2 as part of its Phoenix Series of plug-ins (VST/AAX/AU - Mac/Win). Shaper 2 is a deeply creative tool that combines our classic wave-shaper with an innovative multi-fx processor. It was specifically designed to allow the user to redefine–or totally destroy–any flavor of the sound source.
Shaper is composed of several modules, that can be re-arranged in any order:
- Glitch Gate, now with a Smooth parameter
- Waveshaper with 5 inspiring functions: Muffin, Multistress, Cracker, S&M, and Bits&Samps
- Transform module with Clip, Wrap, Fold, and sFold functions
- Resonator/Short Delay, that can act as a comb filter as well
A new addition to version 2, adds a Lopass/Hipass filter allowing the user to further fine-tune the processed sound.
Shaper 2 allows the user to add a personally destructive touch to sound work. Emphasize Basslines by tweaking the Waveshaper sections: Blend and Color, or increasing the clip's value, (this also works great on drums and acoustic percussive sounds). Blow digital coldness into your synths with the S&M and Bits&Samps functions, or increasing the Wrap and/or Fold values. Add unpredictable dynamic glitches thanks to the exclusive Glitch Gate section.
== Additional Features ==
- Modular Structure - Drag and reorder modules as you prefer. Create and save different chains for different needs.
- Graphics - Beyond a classic oscilloscope, two displays show the exact function you are using to process incoming sounds.
- I / O - You choose how to feed Shaper 2 and how to mix it using the Gain and Mix parameters.
Shaper 2 is part of the Phoenix Series of plug-ins.
