ELASTIC Bender is a dynamic pitch envelope effect inspired by vintage digital pitch shifters, originally designed for guitar and bass but adaptable to any audio source including drums and vocals. It offers control over the depth and speed of the pitch envelope, allowing users to create expressive pitch bends that start either above or below the incoming note. The effect is capable of producing distinctive sounds such as dynamic wah, auto-wah, and Whammy-style pitch shifts, making it a compelling tool for adding movement and character to your sound.

The effect features multiple modes that expand its sonic palette, from lush chorus and wild flanger tones to ring modulation and early vintage pitch-shifting textures. A feedback control enables intense sonic experimentation, even allowing the effect to self-oscillate for unique soundscapes. The analog-modeled input and output stages add warmth and natural overdrive when pushed, enhancing the character of the processed signal. Users can also shape the pitch envelope curve and adjust peak trigger sensitivity, providing a high level of customization for dynamic and rhythmic performance.

ELASTIC Bender supports true stereo processing with subtle differences in envelope timing between channels, creating a wide stereo image and separation effect. It offers multiple trigger sources including audio peaks, an internal LFO, and MIDI note input for tempo-synced sequences, giving flexibility in how the effect responds to your music. Built with a custom C++ core, it is compatible with 64-bit Windows and Mac systems, ensuring efficient performance and broad accessibility for producers seeking vintage-inspired pitch modulation with modern control.
