Read full description

BattleFX was created to satisfy the common request of a dedicated plugin for the send effects in Battalion. The famous "Shatter Delay" and "Headspace Reverb" can now be used on any track. We have included a fully-featured set of mix controls, as well as Solo and Mute, so that you can hear or use each portion individually. Included is the Maximize and EQ section from the Master portion of Battalion, which have quickly become a signature sound of the device, and something fans have requested to use elsewhere. Versatile enough to be used as both a utility-tool and full creative effect, it is the right squad-partner to keep always at your side in the field and trenches. In addition, we have added a system for automatically choking the delay and reverb buffers at repeating intervals, including a Euclidean pattern knob. These can be tempo synced or free, controlled independently on reverb and delay, and even nudged slightly off of the beat in either direction. You can use this to create complex, organic ducking patterns, especially in conjunction with a noisy input and the Maximize knob turned up. If this is your first introduction to a piece of Battalion, be sure to check out the full drum synth itself, which includes everything here besides the automatic choke system (as this can be done directly by sidechaining drum hits).
