Rave Generation: Symphonic
Modulation multi-FX
Modulation multi-effects processor in the style of the classic mid-80s Japanese rack unit. Seven classic algorithms running at the hardware's native 31.25 kHz internal clock with a 12 kHz passband. From lush ensemble shimmer to metallic flanging, the signature sound behind countless late-80s productions.
Features
- Seven classic effects in one pluginStereo Flange A & B, Chorus A & B, Stereo Phasing, Tremolo, and the signature Symphonic patch. Switch between them with a single Preset knob.
- The legendary Symphonic patchFour long delay taps, each modulated on its own LFO phase, produce a lush ensemble bloom that sits between a chorus and a reverb pre-delay. The sound behind countless 80s string pads, synth leads, backing vocals and electric piano.
- Running at 31.25 kHz, just like the originalAudio is resampled to the original's native rate, processed through a faithful emulation of the hardware modulation engine, then converted back. The slightly dark, bandwidth-limited character that made the unit famous is preserved exactly.
- Authentic stereo imageThe original hardware's 70/30 cross-feed output matrix gives that distinctive wide-but-cohesive stereo field on every preset.
- Two flanger flavoursFlange A has a lively, asymmetric sweep; Flange B hits harder and more symmetrical. Bipolar feedback (-99 to +99%) goes from metallic and resonant to inverted and hollow.
- Dual-modulation chorusChorus A and B combine delay modulation with amplitude modulation for that organic, pulsing shimmer of classic hardware chorus.
- Musical tremoloUses the original biased-sine LFO that never fully cuts out, for a smooth pulse instead of a hard gate.
- Smart panelOnly the knobs relevant to the active effect are shown. Changing preset instantly recalls the factory default settings for that effect.
- Drive the 16-bit pathPush the Input knob to saturate the signal path, exactly like on the original hardware.
