Modulation Effects Masterclass with Soundtoys Mitch Thomas

SonicScoop‘s Modulation Effects Masterclass features Mitch Thomas of Soundtoys. Modulation effects are filters where one variable changes over time, such as a tremolo, audio panner, flanger, and many other tools.
During the Masterclass, they discuss several industry-loved Soundtoys plugins that are Modulation Effects, including EchoBoy, Effect Rack, FilterFreak, PanMan, Tremolator, PhaseMistress, and others.

Soundtoys EchoBoy
The Ultimate Echo Plug-in
When Soundtoys designed EchoBoy, they were looking for an echo that was warmer than existing delay plug-ins, yet not as dark as guitar pedal echos. EchoBoy is now one of those ‘must-have’ plug-ins for Pro Tools, and has become a permanent fixture on the aux faders of thousands of top mixers and engineers.

Soundtoys PanMan
Rhythmic Auto-Panner
PanMan takes the supposedly simple process of moving audio back and forth in the stereo field and gives it that special touch that you’ve come to expect from our twisted minds.
It features an over the top range of panning modes to recreate classic analog auto-panners plus some of the cool modes from our other plugs to push it a bit further into the future. With MIDI sync to tempo, preset storage, dynamic control, and automation you get modern innovation alongside the classic features from hard to find vintage analog hardware. Control width, speed, direction and more with the most full-featured, over-the-top panner you’ve ever seen.
Soundtoys Tremolator
Analog guitar tremolo effects and beyond with beat-synced rhythmic chopping.
Step up your sound game with the Soundtoys Tremolator. Modeled after classic hardware like the legendary Fender Vibrolux guitar amp and the sleek Wurlitzer electric piano, this plug-in is the perfect addition to your collection. With features like the Tempo-Sync option and adjustable LFO wave shapes, you can effortlessly create dynamic tremolo effects that bring depth and dimension to any track.
Soundtoys PhaseMistress
Rich phase sweeps, deep analog vibe, and tempo-locked modulation.
From funk-laced guitars, to swooshing disco drums, to jazz-fusion keys and bombastic rock vocals, phase shifting is a wildly diverse effect that’s at the heart of countless records from the 60s to today. PhaseMistress captures the sounds of legendary phasers and packs them into one plug-in that takes this creative effect to the next level.
