Galaxy Brain is a frequency shifter + delay combo ready to take any sound into outer space. With easy stereo controls, three modulation sources, and optional hardware clipping; things can go intergalactic very quickly!  

In our frequency shifter we included the same range options as the original 1630 module, and each one has its own strengths. From thick chorusy effects, choppy AM sounds, to space-laser SFX, it's all packed inside.  

The delay module follows a straightforward digital approach but has a few nice extras thrown in: tone-shaping filters in the feedback loop, wet signal ducking, and easy stereo controls.

Details:
- Frequency Shifter
    - Range settings from 5 Hz to 5 kHz (inspired by OG 1630 module)

    - Direction mixer allows tremolo & ring mod FX

    - Free or synced
    - Easy stereo controls
        - Continuous ping-pong
        - LR delay time skew
    - Tone-shaping filters in FB path
    - Wet signal ducker

- Morph Settings lets you transition the plug-in between two settings. Useful for performance, modulation, automation, and more!

- AUv3 effect plug-in runs in a compatible DAW
- Standalone links to user manual and video tutorials
- Universal purchase on Apple platforms

Fun and interesting yet very usable!

### 4/5 — Good

*2025-02-24*

A bit pricey for what it is. UI needs more polish on iPhone (portrait mode elements don’t always respond). Fun stuff, though!

**Developer response:** So glad you're enjoying Galaxy Brain! Thanks for taking the time to leave a review.

A bit pricey for what it is. UI could use a tad more polish on iPhone (turning pages in portrait, for example). Fun stuff, though!
