Immerse yourself in a world of deep and rich sound with Stratum – an innovative plugin from zOne.sk, designed to transform your audio signals. This powerful tool goes beyond ordinary effects, offering a unique combination of unison, delay, harmonizer, and harmonic exciter functionalities. Whether you need to expand a mono sound into a wide stereo, add density to vocals or instruments, or create atmospheric ping delays with pitch modulation – Stratum unlocks endless possibilities for your creativity.
Create Volume and Density with the Unison Effect
Stratum is designed with one main goal: to make your sound bigger, fuller, and richer. At its core is a complex unison mechanism that allows you to generate up to 8 additional stereo voices from the input mono or stereo signal. Imagine being able to turn a single lead part into a powerful chorus, or add incredible presence to bass or synthesizer. Each of these newly created voices (up to 16 in total) has its own individual parameters for precise adjustment, giving you unprecedented control over the final result.
Full Control Over Each Voice
The uniqueness of Stratum lies in the ability to independently control each of the 16 generated voices. This allows you to create complex, multi-layered textures that are impossible to achieve with simple effects.
Here are the key parameters available for each voice:
- Detune: Precise pitch adjustment. You can shift the voice in semitones within a range of +/-2 octaves to create deep harmonic layers or use fine tuning in cents (up to +/-1 semitone) for classic unison and chorus effects.
- Pan & Amplitude Control: Full independent control over the positioning of each voice in the stereo space and its volume. This is ideal for creating wide stereo images from mono sources or for fine-tuning the layers in complex textures.
- Delay: Add a time dimension to each voice with a maximum delay of up to 2 seconds. The ability to sync with the tempo of the host program (DAW) allows you to create rhythmic, multi-layered echoes or use delay to spread the voices in time.
- Highpass Filter: A separate high-pass filter for each voice helps to shape the timbre and clear the mix of unwanted low frequencies.
- Optional Gain Reduction: A unique feature that allows you to scale the amplitude of the voice without applying compression. This ensures that the overall output signal level does not exceed the input level, helping to avoid clipping and preserve dynamics.
Versatility of Application
Stratum is not just a unison effect. Its flexibility allows it to be used as:
- Harmonic Exciter: Add “air” and brightness to your sound by generating finely tuned harmonics.
- Harmonizer: Create simple or complex harmonic lines using the precise Detune adjustment for each voice.
- Synced Pitched Delay: Combine the delay and detune functions to achieve unique rhythmic and melodic effects.
- Stereo Expansion Tool: Easily transform mono sources into voluminous stereo signals with full control over the panorama of each voice.
The Stratum plugin from zOne.sk is an indispensable tool for any musician or sound engineer who strives to achieve the highest quality, rich, and unique sound. Its multi-functionality and depth of settings make it a powerful asset in your effects arsenal. Download Stratum today and unlock the full potential of your audio recordings!
