That is nice phaser effect that can run in stereo mode. The app is Audio Unit AUv3. In stereo mode the signal is split and run through 2 phaser effects with different frequency settings but same rate, depth and feedback that are shifted in stereo space with the same rate(same as the phasers’) The app is an Audio Unit Effect AUV3 and can be used inside GarageBand or other AU host apps as an effect plug-in. Stereo Phaser can also run as a stand alone app adding effect to the audio input so you can play your guitar, bass or synth directly through the app if you have the connector to do so. Stereo Phaser controls: - Rate - that is the phaser speed - Depth - phaser depth - Feedback - effect feedback - Stereo - stereo spread
Stereo Modulator
This audio effect plugin transforms mono sound into stereo, adding width and depth. It uses micro-delays to create a natural sense of space, with optional LFO modulation for a Leslie speaker-like effect without pitch shifting. Ideal for creating separation in mixes, especially for guitars and vocals.
- Mono to stereo conversion
- Adjustable stereo width
- Optional LFO modulation
- Micro-delay de-correlators
- Creates natural spatial depth
- No pitch shifting or echo

Stereo Modulator is an AU3 effect that converts mono sound into stereo, with an adjustable width and optional LFO modulation. It works by using a bank of randomized stereo de-correlators that apply micro-delays to introduce random differences between the spectrums of the left and right audio channels. In its output we hear a natural sense of space that is not present in mono recordings. It's similar to the sound space one gets from using a stereo reverb plugin except that it is tight and clear, without echo. It can operate either as a static effect or it can be gently modulated by a low-frequency oscillator. The modulation is akin to the sound of a Leslie speaker, except that it doesn't do any pitch shifting, so the output remains focused and tuning is not compromised. This effect is especially useful for mixing overdriven electric guitar sounds together with vocals. Using Stereo Modulator on the guitars, we can push them out to the sides, creating a space in the centre for the vocal to cut through, without needing to reduce the volume of the guitars. NOTE: Stereo Modulator is an AU3 plugin only, not a standalone app. To use it, you will need an audio unit host app such as Garageband or Audiobus.
