ShaperBox 3

ShaperBox 3 is a multi-effect plugin that combines 11 different processors into a single interface. It’s designed for producers who want to add rhythmic movement and detailed texture to their tracks, or solve complex mix problems with precision. You can create everything from tight sidechain compression to complex, evolving soundscapes. It works on any sound.

The core of the plugin is its modulation system. You can draw any LFO shape you can imagine to control the effects over time. An envelope follower lets the audio's own dynamics drive the processing, and an audio trigger can start effects based on transients from any track in your project. This makes it easy to create reactive, musical patterns.

Each of the 11 effects can operate across the full frequency spectrum or be split into three independent bands. This lets you apply processing with surgical accuracy. You could distort only the low-end, stutter the mids, and add reverb just to the highs, all within one plugin instance.

The effects cover a wide range of creative and mixing tasks.

• Dynamics & Stereo: Shape volume for sidechain ducking, adjust panning, and control stereo width.
• Time & Pitch: Create rhythmic stutters, tape stops, reverses, and drawable pitch-shifting patterns.
• Distortion & Texture: Add drive, bitcrushing, and layers of noise.
• Filtering & Ambience: Use versatile filters, phaser/flanger effects, and a rhythmic reverb.

It also includes helpful tools for mixing. A built-in oscilloscope lets you visualize your audio, and you can overlay an external sidechain signal to see how two tracks interact. This is especially useful for dialing in the perfect ducking curve.
