Modnetic gives you four powerful effects in one: - supreme analog emulated tape delay, - extremely realistic spring reverb choices, - bucket brigade chorus / flanger / phaser and - classic tone. Analog sounding on the one hand, but digital clarity and impossible tricks on the other, such as classic digital phasers, reverse-tape and clickless realtime routing options. This is built solid enough for live performance as well as to transform your studio. ****** Modnetic is an Audio Unit V3 plugin; it benefits from an AUV3 host like Logic, GarageBand, Cubasis, FL Studio Mobile, AUM, etc.
