If you're not already familiar with
Exponential Audio plugins then you should be. The brainchild of former
Lexicon chief engineer
Michael Carnes, the first two products, the
R2 and
PhoenixVerb, give you that great Lex reverb sound at a very reasonable price.
Now Michael has come up with something completely different with his new
Excalibur modulation plugin. It's a multi-effects unit with a modular synth-like architecture that allows you to quickly and easily configure both traditional and non-traditional effects.
If you're not up to building your own effects chain, Excalibur comes with 500 presets of classic chorus, flanger, phase shifter, phasor, ring modulator, resonators, glide, distortion and reverb effects.
The plugin is built around a 4 voice engine (with 2 inputs per voice) that allows for millions of different combinations of the above effects.
The
Exponential Audio Excalibur operates on Mac or Windows platforms and on most DAWs. It also works in just about any plugin format and is comfortable with sample rates up to 384kHz. Despite it's architecture, the plugin is super efficient in terms of processor power (as are all Exponential Audio plugins) and low latency. An
iLok 2 is required.
The
Exponential Audio Excalibur multi-effects plugin normally sells for $199 but there's an introductory price of just $119 that's good until April 10th. A free trial is also available.
