Effectrix

Effectrix is a powerful effect sequencer that can be used as a standalone musical instrument, as well as a VST plugin for compatible hosts.

It is destined for use inside musical studios, karaoke environments, as well as during live performances due to its MIDI support. Equipped with a very generous array of audio effects, the application can assist in the making of unique beats.

The installation process is easy to follow through, although users who want to benefit from the plugin deployment ought to pay attention. At one point during installation, a selection of plugin types is offered, including VST (for both 32-bit and 64-bit architectures), RTAS (corresponding to Pro Tools) and AAX (Pro Tools 10+).

As far as appearance is concerned, Effectrix sports a modern and intuitive GUI that is easy to explore and work with. It distinguishes itself from the majority of audio mixers/editors (that usually have a cluttered GUI) by empowering a well-organized environment.

Audio effects are placed in a neat list just next to the editing area and can be activated or deactivated with a single click. Filters such as X-Loop, loop, scratch loop, stretch, vinyl, tonal delay, stutter, crush, phaser, chorus, delay, and reverb can arrange for a special audio touch.

These can be fine-tuned using a set of controls that is specific to each one of them; for instance, the reverb effect contains controllers for decay, width and high pass, which can be adjusted to your own taste.

All of your work can be recorded using the dedicated command and provided that you’re doing a live performance, you can turn the MIDI feature to modify the audio in live mode.

Bottom line, Effectrix can really contribute to a rich audio experience through the variety of effects embedded inside its engine. The possibilities that come from it are quite extensive.
