Spacer is like no delay you’ve ever heard, and no reverb you’ve ever dreamt of. All together.

With five types of spatial experience within one plugin, there are no limits to where you can take your sound. Send your signal into orbit through three types of reverb – algorithmic, convolution and granular – and two delays – simple and granular – to create dreamlike overtones, shifting soundscapes or contemporary ambiences.

Start small, build big – discover new sonic expanses with Spacer, a modular multi-effects station where time and space are united as one.

Modular

Spacer has five effects modules which can be linked in any order to generate infinite creative FX combinations, but are also designed to work as independent processing stations in their own right.

Each module has a parametric EQ for shaping the frequencies of that particular effect, as well as per-effect presets, parameter randomization and bypass controls. Rearranging modules to affect the plugin’s signal processing order is simple and intuitive; simply drag and drop and hear the effects interacting with each other in entirely new ways.

On top of the individual module parameters, you can also apply Spacer’s global effects to contour the plugin’s output signal. There are Air and Presence controls for high-end EQ shaping, Saturation for subtle upper harmonics, Chorus for phase modulation and Age to simulate the characteristics of vintage recording equipment.

Granular

Spacer’s granular engine allows you to create transformative spatial environments and motion effects, deconstructing your audio signal and then reanimating it to produce three-dimensional, otherworldly sounds.

The Grain Reverb and Grain Delay modules are dynamic granular effects that process your signal in real-time with unique results. Both effects are powered by Zynaptiq’s high-quality pitch-shifting technology to allow granular transposition, perfect for conjuring up ethereal tones or dark undercurrents.

Meet the Modules

Reverb

Spacer’s Reverb module provides the perfect foundation for adding depth and expansiveness to your sound. The effect is a classic algorithmic reverb with the full range of knobs you’d expect, which means you can easily dial in some initial size or position it at the end of a chain to maximise lushness.

Convolution

As well as an algorithmic reverb, Spacer also has a Convolution Reverb module with 110 Impulse Responses to choose from, captured via a mixture of recording and synthesis. Select from three distinct categories: Hall for large spaces, Room for smaller spaces and Synthetic for unique and creative spaces.

Grain Reverb

Combining Spacer’s powerful granular engine with an expansive reverb, Grain Reverb is your go-to creative effect module for building rich textural ambience. The individual grains of your processed sound are each given their own reverb treatment, which in turn creates a multitude of reflections that interact with one another, producing an immersive layered effect.

Delay

The first of Spacer’s time-based effects is the Delay module, which is an essential stop-off if you want easily configurable signal repeats. Develop your sound across the full width of the stereo field, either syncing repeats to the beat or opting for a more free flowing approach using milliseconds.

Grain Delay

Spacer’s second granular effect module is Grain Delay, where you can break down your signal and cast it out into the void, receiving a host of otherworldly reverberations in return. Alongside standard delay controls, the module’s granular parameters allow fine control over the size and behaviour of the grains, while pitch-shifting functionality is also provided (powered by Zynaptiq ZTX LE).

Utilities

The Utlities section is a two-page module that contains additional tone-shaping controls and a powerful multivoice chorus. Boost high-end shine with Air or front up your signal with a mid-range Presence adjustment, get a vintage, aged feel with Saturation, and spread out into the stereo field with Dimension and Haas effect parameters.
