Soundtoys Microshift

MicroShift offers you three different flavors of a classic stereo widening trick with just the press of a button. It uses a special recipe of pitch shifting and delay that varies over time, creating rich stereo width. It's incredibly easy to use and perfect for adding flavor to important instruments or subtly blending background vocals into a mix.

We designed MicroShift to replicate the vibes of the most sought-after hardware pitch shifters, like the Eventide H3000 (which included algorithms originally designed by the founders of Soundtoys) and the AMS DMX 15-80s. MicroShift captures the quirks of the originals, including saturation and even the different deglitching algorithms used by these units. Now you can have the big, wide sound of the original hardware with a simple, refined interface that makes achieving those tried-and-true sounds faster and easier than ever.

While MicroShift is very easy to use, it also allows you to finely tune the character of the width you add to your tracks. Change the amount of variable delay over time with the Delay control. Adjust the amount of micro pitch shift with the Detune control. And the Focus control allows you to sculpt the low and mid frequencies that can make some tracks sound muddy.
