SigMod - Custom Signal Architecture Made Easy

Twelve Single-Process Modules
Instantly enhance the functionality of your plug-ins and DAW with twelve different signal modification units. Explore new creative possibilities and quickly add missing features. Each module can easily be inserted, swapped and moved around making new options to correct, convert or tweak your audio.

Use Stereo Plug-ins in Mid/Side Mode
Add mid/side functionality to classic stereo compressor and EQ emulations, or get creative with mid/side delays, distortion and many other effects by inserting the mid/side encoder/decoder either side of any left/right plug-in instance.

Protect Speakers, Ears & Sanity
Insert the Protect unit across your output bus and this safety module will automatically cut in to prevent bursts of noise or feedback howls due to system errors, saving both your nerves and your speakers. Manual or auto reset options give you the level of protection you need - a real gift when working with headphones!

Tap and Crossover
Want to try some parallel processing? Drop in the Tap module and you are good to go. Use the Crossover module to split the highs from the lows to apply different effects to different frequency ranges - great for avoiding muddying up the low frequencies or getting creative with automation and sweep effects.

Host Any VST3 Plug-in Anywhere Within Your Signal Chain
Enhance the functionality of your plug-ins and enable multiple new applications. A dual mono option allows for independent processing of two parallel channels, turbo-charging your existing plug-in collection with new creative possibility.

For Your DAW
Several of SigMod's modules offer easy access to functionality which is either missing from certain DAWs, or at least complicated to access natively. Solo/mute or trim the left and right sides of a stereo signal independently, or easily flip the stereo image in one click. Quickly detect and correct DC offset to retain valuable headroom.

How does your mix sound in mono? Think about how many listeners will be using a phone or a DAB radio with one speaker - the Mono module switches your signal from stereo to mono in one click. You can also check the phase relationship between your left and right channels with the Phase module.

Your Imagination is the Limit
With SigMod's creative signal routing - particularly the Mid/side, Tap and Crossover modules - the possibilities are virtually endless, not to mention easy and tweakable.
Ever wondered how your go-to tape emulator would sound in mid/side mode?
Splitting your vocals into 6 different frequency bands and sending each of them to a different compressor?
How about 600 to 800Hz through your favourite guitar amp sim, and the side channels above 13kHz sent to a giant hall reverb? Unusual, but very easy.

Expand Your System
SigMod contains many useful, creative functions which are otherwise difficult to engage. Combine these single-process modules in any order to design the precise routing you require. Auto-resizing keeps the signal flow and functionality clear at all times.
