What's New in Version 2
Experience the upgraded features of the Sinevibes Whirl Barber Pole Phaser plug-in in Version 2, designed to optimize functionality and user experience. This update allows users to set the barber-pole phaser frequency as a host tempo fraction, adjustable from 1/16th note to 16 bars, while simultaneously synchronizing phase motion with the transport location. The enhanced Stereo parameter range now includes negative values, enabling the relative phaser motion in the right channel to overtake the left channel, and vice versa. Furthermore, Version 2 introduces a modern, future-proof preset manager backend and is developed using the cutting-edge JUCE 7 framework.
Bode frequency shifter model
Whirl is a barber-pole phaser effect plugin based on a Bode frequency shifter model with a feedback line to create unique spectrum peaks and notches that move in seemingly endless motions upwards and downwards. The illusion of endless movement can be a powerful sonic tool, and you remain in control over how this tool finds space in your mix. Adjusting the frequency parameter alters both the direction and amount of full frequency sweeps per second so there is a comprehensive level of flexibility in Whirl's phaser engine. The Sinevibes Whirl is highly capable of handling light to rapid movements that can either provide a subtle sparkle or heavy sonic fluctuations to your mix and will always provide engaging phaser effects.
Fully synced phaser stages
Up to three sequential Bode phaser stages can be active and fully synchronised at once creating dramatic and unusual interactions between each phaser stage. Whirl holds the potential to provide a subtle breeze through your mix or overwhelm with emotive peaks and aggressive deeply resonant filtering; a powerful sonic range that is fortified by a progressive feedback system to feed the output signal back into the phaser's input at your discretion. Ultimately, you retain control over how gentle or dramatic the effect is, so you can build huge spaces into climactic drops with depth and width recorded live or automated into your mix.
Bipolar sweep frequency
Whirl's bipolar spectrum sweep frequency can seamlessly transition between upwards and downwards motions creating a robust sense of movement throughout your mix and developing a pronounced width that can bring vast illusions of space throughout the stereo field; an effect that is bolstered by a variable stereo phase offset so that you retain absolute control over the space that Whirl occupies in your mix.
User interface
Whirl follows suit in the Sinevibes range of effect plugins as it is presented in a sleek and intuitive user interface that makes it simple to produce and sculpt the range of phaser effects that Whirl offers. Colour-coded graphical elements along with consistent names, mapping, values and units for all parameters between the graphic user interface and automation menus make for easy-to-follow navigation while working with Whirl. Ultimately, Sinevibes offer all the tools necessary to make Whirl's complex barber-pole phaser effect an accessible plugin for all skill ranges.
