Through-Zero Flanger
Dipole is a through-zero flanger. It employs two delay lines with dual-mode feedback, and one of the delays is able to run earlier or later in time in relation to another.
As this time difference passes through the zero point, a very special sound transition occurs: with positive feedback, Dipole produces that coveted spectral “swoosh” effect of a jet plane fly-by – and with negative feedback, the output signal warps and eventually cancels itself out.
In the old days of audio production, such effects were created manually using two parallel tape machines – but now Dipole recreates that charismatic flanging, chorusing and psychedelic stereo widening with much higher fidelity and ease of use.
The plugin offers both manual control of the zero-point as well as modulation via its built-in multi-waveform generator.
Sound Engine:
- Flanger engine with through-zero time capability and positive/negative feedback
- Modulation generator with four different waveforms and variable stereo phase offset
- Low-cut filter and feedback self-levelling to ensure stable operation even at the most extreme settings
- Lag filters on all continuous parameters for smooth, click-free adjustment
- Supports mono › mono, mono › stereo, and stereo › stereo channel configurations
- Optional modulation generator host tempo and transport sync
Graphic Interface:
- Color-coded graphic elements
- Consistent name, mapping, value, and unit implemented for all parameters in both graphic user interface and host control/automation
- Built-in preset management functions
- Supports window size scaling up to 200%.
- 64-bit Mac computer with Intel or Apple processor, running macOS 10.9 or later, plus a host application with support for AU, AAX, or VST3 plugins
- 64-bit PC computer with x86 processor, running Windows 8.1 or later, plus a host application with support for AAX or VST3 plugins
