Produce pumping tracks that stand out from the crowd with the FwS FREQue II, a genuinely new and inspirational analogue effects processor. In a world filled with plug-ins that do everything, the FREQue II is a processor that few, if any, plug-ins can emulate. The FREQue II is truly a sound designer’s dream. It’ll chew up program material like nothing else out there!
The
Effects:
With low frequency modulation inputs:
Simple to complex autopan effects, gating, amplitude modulation, flanging,
spatialising
With mid frequency modulation inputs:
Vocoding type effects, adding tunable harmonics, both lower down to subsonic,
and up to supersonic, second harmonic distortion (like valves/tubes),
harmonising, retuning percussion, gating, general rich distortion, Sci-Fi voices
(eg a Dalek)
With high
frequency modulation inputs:
Transposition with distortion, adding glitter, air, sparkle etc when mixed back
into original
With music or
sounds into both inputs:
Vocoding effects, gating effects, fattening/thickening effects, spatial effects,
weird transformations
Internal FM:
Frequency Modulation of modulation oscillator at all frequencies, giving effects
ranging from slow pulsation to the classic FM generation of complex waveforms
External voltage control of oscillators:
Envelope follower effects, FM effects as above, randomised autopanning
Frequency shift:
Up and down shift of frequency with change in harmonic structure, with FM for
sliding effects, using feedback loop to create filter type sweeps
Paul White from Sound on Sound said:
“I’ve used numerous ring modulators over the years, but none have felt either
as musical or as natural to use as this one.”
