The feature set of Minimal Audio’s Wave Shifter frequency modulator is seriously impressiveMinimal Audio has introduced its Wave Shifter “warped” frequency modulator plugin.
Wave Shifter offers frequency shifting, ring modulation, and amp modulation effects that modulate the input signal, generating new harmonics and inharmonic sidebands. Flexible frequency controls like BPM sync, tuning, and stereo spread gives you additional control over your sound.

The plugin includes controls typically found in synthesizers, such as FM and soft sync, enabling the creation of “unique harmonic distortion effects”. Dive into FM feedback routing for chaotic textures, add grit with noise operators, or use the external sidechain input to turn any sound into a frequency modulation source.
The onboard morphing LFO lets you build anything from high-tech data rhythms to complex harmonic movement. Feel free to customise its behaviour with adjustable waveforms, randomisation, and stereo offset to create unique, evolving effects.
In the event that you’re feeling uninspired, Wave Shifter also features a diverse collection of presets – over 70, in fact – ranging from futuristic, sci-fi-esque sound effects to high-powered distortion and beyond.
The plugin is fully compatible with macOS 10.11 and higher, including native Apple silicon, as well as Windows 10 and higher. It can be used in any major DAW that supports 64-bit AAX, AU, VST2, and/or VST3 formats.
Wave Shifter is available at an intro price of $29 (usual price $49), or $15 per month as part of Minimal Audio’s All Access subscription plan.
