X

Your multidimensional generator

X is an Audio Unit/VST/AAX stereo width titan.  By combining two Haas Effects, Doppler Effect, and Precedence Effect, X provides ultimate seismic power.

Type Writer Audio has set out to discover the design innovation, passion and endurance needed to transform an artistic vision into an audio tool that revolutionizes the way we touch sound. When it comes to making a statement it doesn’t get any bigger than this. By combining working knowledge of the precedence, haas, and doppler effect, we have perfectly combined these psycho-acoustic effects into one incredible piece of technology.

The world’s first dynamic imager

Control your stereo width as you would with a compressor, with a threshold, attack, and release.

Creative

X was designed to be a vocal, and mastering plugin. It has quickly become the secret weapon of producers who want to mix dynamically between mid/side.

How a stable dimension is built

Utilizing the Hyperdrive the signal increases in pitch as it travels from the phantom center to what is perceived to be behind your head. When the signal returns to the phantom center from behind your head it decreases in pitch. This interpolation is controlled by BPM of LFO. The slight change in pitch from the traveling signal, is inverse of the opposing channel creating “pitch width” without a stagnant pitch change. You may also control the Haas Effect by Note.

Advanced DSP

High precision DSP with the cleanest filters, delay lines, and LFO’s. X isn’t just beautiful, It is pretty on the inside. Complex operations at your fingertips.

Work Flow

Use X to precisely dial in a unique sound design element, or on the fly with the quick preset controls. X works for all skill and speed levels. Automate to your heats content.

The X Factor

X makes the sound, sound alive.

Engine

The engine view is where you can control presets, size, and the dynamic envelope.

• Load, save and delete presets, as well as scroll through 90 default presets.
• Sidechain feature easily accessible.
• Use the Size Crank to control dynamic size.
• Threshold slider to control when the envelope is engaged.
• Out-gain handle to control the volume of the effect.
• Attack and Release handles for maximum control.
• XMODE changes how the size reacts to the envelope.

Hyperdrive

The Hyperdrive is where you control two Haas effect delays, filters, and the LFO that interpolates between them. Every parameter is dynamic in the Hyperdrive, either increasing or decreasing with the envelope.

• Space Time allows you to control the delay time of space by note.
• Hyper Speed allows your to select the speed of the LFO that interpolates between both Haas effects.
• Choose the Waveshape of the jump between the two Haas effects.
• Space controls the size of the Haas Effects.
• Jump controls the amount of “pan” of the Hyperdrive.
• Designed to give you swift, powerful control over two haas effected delays.
• Creates the space, timbre, and character of your dimensions.
• High pass & low pass filters.
• Doppler effect.

Warpdrive

The Warpdrive is where you control the bandpass filters, and reverb of the plugin. Every parameter is dynamic in the Warpdrive, either increasing or decreasing with the envelope.

• The Warpdrive can be thought of as a reverb or the “Warp Field”. The glue of the plugin.
• Use the Bandpass Filter to control the frequency center in the pre-delay of the warp field.
• Add Pre-delay to your mix.
• “Teleport” the reverb to the signal after the dynamic imaging has taken place.
• Use the Dampener to control the frequency and dampen down the higher frequencies.

Sensor

The sensor is a separate window that can be opened or closed from any view. It monitors and displays phase information along with the access to the overall mix amount of X.  The overall amount of the plugin may be enabled to move dynamically.

• Using the Goniometer built into the plugin you can monitor the phases of the signals exiting the plugin.
• Use the Overall slider to control the wet amount versus dry amount in your mix.
• Pop out window that display's real time phase imformation.

“This is a fantastic concept, it’s like magical. It is not something that I have seen before, there is nothing to compare with other stereo widening plugins. This is very different.” 
- Emrah 

“Tried the first vocal preset on a female track and i already feel that i will be ahead of ppl that don’t have this plugin.” 
- Michael 

“The most complete stereo width plugin.” 
- Eric 

“I put it on everything, not just vocals and synths.” 
- Sean 

“Yeah, that's amazing, It's pretty damn cool.” 
- Katie 

“It has absolutely been fun! I find it really useful, even—not just for vocals, but guitars and organs too.”
- Nolan 

“This thing is super dope, FREAKING HUGE!!!”
