AudioThing Things - Texture

The AudioThing Things - Texture is going to be a series of smaller plug-ins covering a wide range of effects, focused on sound design and creativity.

The first in the series is Texture, an easy to use granular reverb with pitch shifting and mid/side mode. Texture can transform any sound into an ambient soundscape, or add that drone vibe to your tracks. This plug-in was inspired by the techniques used in the soundtrack and sound design of the award-winning indie game The Swapper.

MID / SIDE

What is Mid / Side?

In a stereo signal, the Mid channel is considered the center, and contains both Left and Right channels. Boosting the Mid channel results in a more mono sound.

The Side channel instead contains the difference between the Left and Right channels. Boosting the Side channel results in a more spacious or wider sound.

Mid / Side Mode

When the Mid and Side mode is engaged, the granular effect is applied only to the Side part of the input signal. The Mid is instead attenuated, creating a special stereo width effect. The reverb is always applied on both Mid and Side parts.
