Hi all,

Long shot but I've been searching high and low for this including all over Sean's website. I thought not quite yet worthy of a support ticket. I've also gone through the archived sub forum here but no joy.

I seem to remember Sean posting a preset for someone that basically gave a diffuse soundfield effect without noticeable modulation. Almost static. Perfect for really dry synth parts that're mono.

I've tried recreating something similar myself but I always have to bump up the diffusion parameter to the point where it starts becoming too much like a reverb. (Which I guess essentially it sort of is, like an ambience program). Maybe I'm missing which algorithm to start with.

As I seem to recall he'd posted it to a comment on his blog but I've checked every single Ubermod post and can't find it.

Any help much appreciated. Übermod is my favourite effect plugin!

You already saw that, right? Example 1 with 3 UberMod instances includes an early reflections setting.

Ooh interesting, always interested in diffusion and smearing plugins. I meant to buy Kilohearts Disperser, was waiting for a sale but forgot about it.

I have JMGSound Cryostasis that's a pretty wiggy effect in a similar not quite reverb but smeared tf vain (: At least I thought I had it but just loaded it up now n its the demo ):

I did, cheers. Seems like I should maybe be starting with the 16 taps algorithms but I've been working my way down the list n must've got frustrated tweaking by the the time I reached those.

Often have put Übermod on other reverbs for its diffusion. What started this off was trying to stereo an analogue BBD delay. Once it gets smeared enough it might as well be reverb so I'm then kind of on one of those holy grail of reverb missions.

I hope I'm not making it up in my mind but I swear Sean was replying to a lady in one of his blog comments :nutter:

If you're looking for chorus-y effect without or with minimal noticeable modulation, Acon Multiply and UVI Thorus are really good for this.
A well-behaved signature.

Disperser is pretty much just an allpass filter
If you have something like Volcano3 has it.
You can also do it with Melda MPhaser (free) if you override the LFO with 100% wet.
Mode = order, Max Freq will be your Fs.

Just to follow this up. I think I found the preset that Sean posted n it's actually present in the included presets under the name "MakeSoundWiderNow" in the Stereo Enhancers bank.

I can rest a little easier now. Will try that as my starting point from now on. It was in a discussion about blurring audio on another forum.
