DSP Audio Effects: Multi FX

A Multi FX plugin works much like an instrument rather than an ordinary signal processing plug-in. By combining various effects, you may increase both the creative and operational options. These tools should, above all, be flexible – a type of Swiss knife for sound designers and a playground for sound enthusiasts at the same time.
