In addition to that, you do not need to use the iLok License Manager to authorize your plug-in if you purchased MicroShift. This means that you do not need an iLok USB key to hold your authorization and that the authorization itself can reside on your computer or on your iLok. MicroShift and Little MicroShift now allow what is known as machine-based licenses. Still giving you those three sought after micro pitch-shifting sounds from the classic gear that made the technique famous (including one our designers created “wink”), Little MicroShift puts them right at your fingertips. It adds width, space, and spread to any track, just like it’s big brother, but with a simple, straight forward interface. It was also used by guitarist to get crazy huge walls of sound, and bring solos out front (where they should be). It’s also still a vital part of most mix engineers “bag of tricks”. Of course it’s been used on lots of other things but that’s kind of where it started. It adds a width, space, depth, and thickness to vocal and background vocals. The formulas are all a bit different on all the devices, but the effect is essentially the same.

The idea is fairly simple, small amounts of delay and or pitch-shift panned hard left and right. The technique has been around since the early days of pitch-shifting, using devices like the Eventide H910(x2), H3000, the AMS DMX 15-80, and all the way to plug-ins like our own SoundBlender and PurePitch. MicroShift combines the classic sound of the hardware with new advanced features, and an intuitive interface. Control of the detune amount, delay, and a mix knob let you tweak the effect to fit just right in the track. Amazing for adding “shimmer” to a vocal, or “air” to a guitar. Of course, the SoundToys spin takes it beyond the original with the new FOCUS knob that lets you push and widen specific ranges without affecting the rest of the track. Be it vocals, synths, guitars, backing vocals or whatever you choose to run through it, MicroShift uses this classic studio trick to spread out, thicken up, or give a new space to any track you hit with it.
