Dipole is a through-zero flanger effect plugin designed to deliver classic flanging sounds with modern precision. It uses two delay lines with dual-mode feedback, allowing one delay to shift before or after the other in time. This unique timing relationship creates a distinctive sound shift as it passes through zero, producing the iconic spectral swoosh reminiscent of a jet plane fly-by when positive feedback is applied. Negative feedback causes the output to warp and gradually cancel itself, offering a rich palette of flanging, chorusing, and stereo widening effects. This plugin brings the vintage tape machine flanging experience into a digital environment with superior fidelity and user-friendly controls.

The sound engine features a through-zero flanger with positive and negative feedback capabilities, combined with a modulation generator that offers four waveform options and adjustable stereo phase offset. Users can synchronize modulation to host tempo and transport, ensuring tight integration within any project. Stability is maintained through a low-cut filter and feedback self-leveling, even under extreme settings. Smooth parameter adjustments are enabled by lag filters, and the plugin supports multiple input/output configurations including mono to mono, mono to stereo, and stereo to stereo setups, enhancing its adaptability in various mixing scenarios.

Dipole’s graphical interface is designed for clarity and ease of use, featuring color-coded elements that maintain consistent naming, mapping, value, and units across both the interface and host automation. It includes built-in preset management and supports window scaling up to 200%, accommodating different screen sizes and workflow preferences. The plugin is compatible with AAX, AU, and VST3 formats on macOS and Windows platforms, supporting both Intel and Apple Silicon architectures, ensuring wide accessibility across modern digital audio workstations.
