Description
Discover the transformative power of the Polyverse Music Wider, a groundbreaking stereo width plugin designed to revolutionize your audio production. Imagine taking a simple mono signal and effortlessly expanding it into a wide, immersive stereo landscape without losing integrity or introducing unwanted phase issues. That's the magic of Wider.
This unique plugin extracts the stereo magic from its popular sibling, Manipulator, and delivers it in a sleek, user-friendly package.

Perfect for producers and musicians looking to add depth and space to their tracks, Wider can amplify the stereo width of any mono source up to an astonishing 200%. Whether you're looking to subtly enhance your mix or create a bold, expansive soundscape, Wider provides the flexibility you need while maintaining professional-grade audio quality.
Key Features:
- Expands mono signals into a wide stereo image without phase issues
- Innovative all-pass and comb filtering algorithm for natural sound
- Up to 200% stereo width expansion for dramatic effects
- Mono-compatible output preserving the original signal's integrity
