KR-Imager STR is an advanced stereo image enhancer designed to expand and refine the spatial characteristics of audio signals. Unlike traditional stereo imagers that split input signals into a few broad frequency bands, this plug-in employs a sophisticated frequency domain engine that analyzes hundreds of individual frequency components. This detailed spectral division enables precise control over the stereo field, allowing users to select from various algorithms that tailor the stereo expansion effect with exceptional clarity and depth.

The plug-in offers dynamic stereo imaging through two distinctive animation methods: algorithmic sweep and morphing. The sweep method continuously alters the frequency response bands based on a user-defined rate, creating evolving spatial effects. Meanwhile, the morphing method blends two different algorithms in real-time, enabling seamless transitions that add movement and interest to the stereo image. These animation techniques can be applied separately or simultaneously, providing a rich palette of spatial modulation options for creative sound design.

KR-Imager STR works effectively with both mono and existing stereo audio sources, enhancing stereo width without altering the original frequency content. The output remains spectrally balanced and neutral, ensuring that the audio's tonal character is preserved while the stereo image is broadened for improved listening experience. Its user-friendly controls include selections for input channels, algorithm shapes, effect depth, and animation speeds, making it a powerful tool for producers seeking to add spaciousness and dimensionality to their mixes.
