Discover Paradigm Shifter by Psychic Modulation – a powerful “beat mangler” and delay with deep modulation. A perfect tool for sound experimentation and creating unique textures.

About Paradigm Shifter

Paradigm Shifter is a VST effect for Windows from Psychic Modulation. It combines shift, filter, and delay sections, each with a sequencer for dynamic modulation. Create unique rhythmic patterns and soundscapes.

Main Sections

Three sections work together:

Shifter Section

For “beat shifting” and unusual effects: from phaser to extreme chaos (FSU).

  • Effects from phaser to extreme sounds.
  • Sequencer for shifting speed modulation.
  • Hidden panel with additional options.

Filter Section

Multistage filter with gain compensation adds tonal coloring.

  • Multistage filter (up to 8 stages).
  • Gain compensation.
  • Sequencer for cutoff frequency modulation.
  • Hidden panel with additional options.
  • Soft distortion after the filter.

Warning: high resonance at high stages can result in extreme loudness.

Delay Section

Stereo delay with modulation adds depth and space.

  • Stereo delay.
  • Dual sequencer for speed and feedback modulation.
  • L/R pan of the delay channels.
  • Hidden panel with additional options.

Sequencer Capabilities

Automate parameters for complex rhythmic and tonal changes:

  • Pause.
  • Direction change.
  • Speed change.
  • Glide function (Shifter and Filter).

Control

Enable/disable sections, use hidden panels for fine-tuning.

For Whom?

Ideal for:

  • Musicians (IDM, Glitch, Techno, Ambient).
  • Producers (unusual processing).
  • Sound designers.
  • Experimenters.

Conclusion

Paradigm Shifter is a creative tool for experiments. Its unique architecture with three sections and sequencers makes it interesting for “mangling” and dynamic processing. Try it for unpredictable sonic journeys!
