Jonathan Sandman, SSL Studio Plug-ins Product Manager comments, “We’re very excited to launch Module8 as it brings SSL’s renowned sound quality and advanced workflow to a modulation FX-based plug-in for the first time. We have taken great care to include features like Global LFO and drag-n-drop reordering, which not only speeds up the production process but encourages experimentation with sound design – grab yourself a demo and find out.”
6+2 FX rack
Module8 includes six modulation-based effects driven by LFOs, along with two additional effects on FX returns, resulting in a total of eight processors within Module8. Individual Phaser, Flanger, Chorus, Tremolo, Vibrato, and Pan effects are available, each with dedicated controls over LFO rate, depth, and shape. To encourage experimentation, users can easily customise the order of effects processing via drag-and-drop reordering. To complement Module8’s modulation effects, ‘Lo-Fi’ and ‘Space’ processing modules are available on two dedicated FX returns expanding Module8’s creative potential even further. Additionally, parameters like ‘Stereoise’ and ‘Width’ offer users further control of the stereo field.
LFOs
Each of Module8’s six effects features a dedicated LFO, which offers a range of different shapes, including Sine, Triangle, Saw, Ramp and Square. Phase offset and inversion parameters allow further manipulation of the LFO. ‘Global’ syncs the individual effect processors to the Global LFO, whilst ‘Manual’ allows Module8’s LFOs to be synced to external LFOs in compatible DAWs. Global LFO parameters like overall depth and mix offer quick adjustments across all modules, streamlining the workflow and keeping users in the creative zone.
