TimeShifter by Psychic Modulation: Shift Your Groove with Innovative Delay
The search for a unique sound is a constant challenge for music producers. Psychic Modulation offers TimeShifter – a delay plugin that rethinks the standard effect. It’s not just an echo, but a tool for creating dynamic, unexpected rhythmic patterns and deep sound design. TimeShifter lets you sculpt the groove, adding freshness to your tracks.
The Foundation of Rhythm: Key Features of TimeShifter
TimeShifter integrates perfectly into any project thanks to stereo mode and full synchronization with your DAW’s tempo (BPM synced stereo delay). This ensures that your rhythmic experiments are always on time.
Tools for Dynamic Groove
- 8 Groove Shift Buttons: The main feature of TimeShifter. These buttons allow you to instantly switch between different rhythmic delay variations, creating a “shift” effect or pattern change. This is a quick way to add unpredictability and dynamics.
- X2 and Glide Function: Quickly double the delay time to create effects or change the rhythmic pattern. The glide function ensures smooth transitions between different time values.
- Gate Button: Instant on/off of the delay output. Useful for creating staccato effects, rhythmic pauses, or quick muting.
Modeling, Filtering, and Space
TimeShifter goes beyond basic delay, offering deep sound shaping capabilities.
Flexible Delay Modulator
The built-in Delay Modulator with crossfader allows you to add movement to the delay sound. It has 5 modes:
- Cycle
- Up
- Down
- Ring
- Stutter
These modes allow you to create a variety of effects: from subtle modulations to extreme transformations.
Multi-band Filter
The multi-filter allows you to shape the timbre of the delay signal. Each filter band can operate simultaneously, providing exceptional flexibility in frequency correction or creating filter effects.
StereoField Matrix
The StereoField Matrix provides precise control over the spatial placement of the delay. Independent control of the volume and pan of each channel allows you to create immersive stereo effects or experiment with panning.
Final Control
The Dry/Wet mix control allows you to easily balance the original and processed signals, perfectly integrating the effect into the mix.
Summary
TimeShifter by Psychic Modulation is not just a delay plugin, but a powerful tool for creative rhythmic design. Its unique groove shift functions, flexible modulation, and detailed stereo field control make it a valuable addition. If you want to add originality and dynamics to your tracks, experiment with rhythm and space, TimeShifter is a great choice. The plugin is available in VST format for Windows.
