Blue Cat's Flanger

Blue Cat's Flanger is an exceptional freeware plugin from the Blue Cat Audio library. This vintage-style flanger plugin offers a versatile and intuitive interface, allowing users to adjust delay, depth, rate, feedback, and spread of effects. It also provides control over the wet/dry mix, feedback, and feed-forward with a two-way switch to select the flanging shape. Available in both mono and stereo versions, this plugin works seamlessly with any audio source and can be integrated into any production phase. It supports multiple formats including VST, VST3, AU, AAX, and RTAS, making it compatible with any DAW. Famous in the '70s and '80s, the Flanger effect can be used on various audio tracks, from drums and voices to synths and guitars. Despite its simple user interface, Blue Cat's Flanger is highly versatile, capable of producing both harsh, metallic and smooth, soft filtering effects. The stereo version of the plugin allows users to transform it into a stereo flanging effect with a single knob. With the "Spread" slider, the effect can be manipulated to create a surrounding auditory experience. Key features include vintage flanger effect, stereo spread control, sine or triangle LFO shapes, in or out of phase feedforward and feedback paths, full MIDI control, and automation support. Additionally, the plugin has a skinnable and customizable user interface and supports any sample rate. Recent updates include native Apple Silicon support, added MIDI control support, improved MIDI & automation control settings, Unicode support, and reduced memory footprint. System requirements for macOS include an Intel or Apple Silicon processor, OS X 10.9 or newer, and a VST / VST3 / AU/ AAX compatible DAW (64-bit only). For Windows, an SSE2-enabled processor (Pentium 4 or newer), Windows Vista or newer, and a VST / VST3 / AAX compatible DAW (32 or 64 bit) are required.
