What it is:
A sonic recreation of beloved machines such as the Eventide H3000 and AMS DMX 15-80s.
How we use it:
Make a track larger than life.
Why it's cool:
Having designed the original H3000 which MicroShift is based on, the Soundtoys engineers really nail the algorithms that have grown to populate music over the years.
Sound Toys' MicroShift is a stereo width-enhancement plug-in that employs the micro-shifting technique - using small amounts of delay and/or pitch shift - to add width, depth, thickness, and space to any track you instantiate it on. You get complete tweakability over the effect with Mix, Focus, Detune, and Delay controls. You'll find many uses for MicroShift: it's great on lead and BG vocals - or anything else you want to sound huge. And it's downright indispensable for building a wall of guitars. At Sweetwater, we understand that sometimes, you've just got to go wide. Go for it, with Sound Toys' MicroShift.
