BLEASS Flanger harnesses the sonic characteristics of classic flanger effects and brings them fully up-to-date with a pair of flexible LFOs, variable modulation routing, an envelope generator and beat synchronisation. Classic flangers are a delay-based effect, and modulate the delay time to create the distinctive, repetitive flanged sound. But with BLEASS Flanger, multiple modulation sources are combined to create detailed, complex and evolving timbral movement within your sound. The addition of an envelope generator, which is triggered by the incoming signal, adds an additional dimension to the flanger effect, making it sensitive to the dynamics and nuances of your performances. The second LFO can take the sonic possibilities further still, with the option for it to modulate the delay’s feedback strength or stereo width. The tonal character of the effect can be controlled easily thanks to the multi-mode input filter, whilst the ability to synchronise the LFOs to the beat of your music allows you to explore completely new rhythmic and evolving effects. BLEASS’ trademark interface design ensures this powerful collection of tools are both easy and fun to work with, so you can harness their sonic versatility without ever hindering your musical creativity. And with super-efficient CPU usage, and compatibility with all major hosts and DAWs on desktop, iPad or iPhone, BLEASS Flanger is the only flanger you will ever need.

Do you remember the single most iconic phaser you've ever heard? For the first time, there's a good chance of finding that exact sound captured in a plugin. FEATURES: • Faithful reproduction of a legendary 4-stage phaser pedal from the late 70's - early 80's • Complex effects can be built using composite LFO's, parallel phaser structures, as well as an independent modulation system for the sweep range • Barberpole or "Shepard" phaser included: infinitely rising / falling modulation that can optionally be combined with sweep range modulation • Strong, rhythmic / syncopated patterns can be created by configuring different LFO frequency ratios within the various modulation sources • Mid-Side modes allow adding special phasing effects to stereo sounds • Exact visualization of the notch filters' real-time frequency response, with different stereo options • Exceptional multirate performance: results are less sampling rate-dependent than what's currently available with most digital phasers (even from major manufacturers) • Designed to be an anthology app extensible with additional hardware-based or synthetic analog models in future MIDI NOTE EVENT RECEPTION: RealPhase can accept MIDI note messages, syncing an envelope-based modulation source to note on and off events. This makes it easy to use RealPhase as a powerful analog modeling OTA-based resonant notch filter with any synth or sampler. PLEASE NOTE: • An Audio Unit v3 compatible host app is required to use this plugin • Supported sampling rates: 44.1, 48, 96 kHz
