All mod cons

Module8 finds SSL diverting down more of a creative sound design path than is usual. This plugin is designed to enhance vocals and add modulated movement to any instrument, all via a simple workflow, and with every effect and control on-screen and available to tweak. SSL says Module8 can be equally useful in an acoustic mix as it is in a more experimental electronic soundscape. It features a total of six effects, each with its own LFO. In addition, there are two more effects set as returns called Lo-fi and Space. Buy Module8 as part of the SSL’s Complete subscription ($14.99 per/month), or SSL’s rent to own option (twoweek trial and 12 payments), or just buy it old school for a one-off fee of £79.99/$99.99!
