Summary

LiquidShaper is a multiband Shaper effect plugin offering jet-plane flanging and lush phasing effects for sound design. It runs inside Cableguys' ShaperBox 3 suite and allows detailed modulation with editable LFOs and dynamic audio triggering.

Features

• Future Flanger with ultra-short delays providing jet-plane swooshes and robotic comb filtering.
• Fluid Phaser with up to 16 stages for smooth, resonant phasing effects.
• Drawable LFOs for Centre and Feedback parameters enabling the design of custom waveforms.
• MIDI and audio transient triggering to synchronize effects with rhythm and dynamics.
• Envelope followers for dynamic, analogue-like response producing talking phasers and reactive flanging.
• Multiband processing with separate LFOs and dynamics on three frequency bands, e.g., phaser on bass and flanger on treble.
• Multiple modes, including feedback polarity flipping for sonic variety.
• Stereo field expansion through Centre frequency offsetting in left and right channels.
• Runs within ShaperBox 3 allowing combination with up to 10 other Shapers for complex layered effects.
• Modern, resizable interface with HiDPI support and built-in help.
• Presets for common uses and ability to save custom waves and patches.
• High-resolution oscilloscope and smooth bypass for clean transitions.
• Extensive LFO editing with loop length synchronization from 1/128 to 32 bars, audio-rate modulation up to 5.24 kHz, and editing tools like copy/paste, randomize, skew, and unlimited undo/redo.
