Gooey Audio are offering 80% off Shimmer for a limited time, now only $4.99, (usually $24.99). The offer ends April 20th.
Shimmer is a novel dimension expander plugin offering four unique modes: Reflective, Shimmer, Choral, and Swirl, each providing distinct spatial and textural effects.
Reflective
Reflective mode is modeled after traditional dimension expanders, using a combination of series and parallel signal processing. With little to no modulation applied, it preserves the original character of the sound, though slight harmonic overlap can occur from the lack of modulation, and this can introduce subtle tonal coloration.
Shimmer
Shimmer mode is a streamlined dimension expander mode with a distinctive twist. As the Shimmer control is increased, a sparkling quality emerges from a series of subtle offsets, adding brightness and depth. It serves as a go-to tool for creating glistening spatial textures.
Choral
Choral mode applies slow modulation within the dimension expander to create a smooth, natural sense of aural width. It offers a tonally clean stereo image, though the modulation can introduce a slight dampening effect, subtly dulling the sound. This can be compensated for with the Sparkle control, which restores a touch of brightness.
Swirl
Swirl mode is an experimental hybrid between a dimension expander and a chorusing effect. On tonally rich material, increasing the Swirl control introduces silky frequency movement reminiscent of a chorus. On percussive or spectrally flat sounds, the effect remains restrained enough to have the movements be nearly imperceptible.
The plugin is designed to create space and add depth to sounds, with features like an optional Sparkle button for brightness and a low CPU footprint.
Features include:
- Four unique dimension expansion modes.
- Fifty elegant presets.
- Stereo, Volume, Mix, and Master Slider.
- Optional Sparkle button for brightness.
- Low CPU footprint for a big sound.
Shimmer is available for PC and Mac users (VST3, AU and AAX).
