Transform Audio Tracks from Ordinary to Magical—On the Fly

Creating changes, surprises, and special moments in your tracks can be challenging. Setting up multiple effect buses and many lanes of automation can take a long time—but not with Space Rider.

Space Rider combines three high-quality effects—reverb, delay, chorus—in one streamlined interface built for speed. You can send the chorus to the delay, and the delay to the reverb, at the click of a button, for deep spatial effects that will liven up your tracks.

But that’s just the beginning:

Space Rider’s secret weapon is its dynamic Rider, assignable to any parameter. Engage the Rider to morph the different effects, instantly creating movement and interest. You can also engage the built-in envelop shaper and have the Rider dynamically respond to the incoming audio signal, for effects that would normally take ages to set up.

No more complex automations, routing, and send/return hassles: Deep results that used to require engineering backflips are now achievable with a few clicks.

Automate Your Spatial Effects in Real Time

From chorus-infused delay throws, to reverb tails that move with your music, Space Rider allows you to automate your FX quickly with just a few clicks of a mouse. Assign any parameter to the ‘Rider’ and activate the Envelope Follower for real-time reaction to input audio. Make your effects ‘breathe’ effortlessly, skipping hours of work on traditional automation.

Routing Hassles Are Over

Simply twist a knob to route the Chorus to the Delay, and then the Delay to the Reverb. No need for multiple channels, multiple plugins, or complex routing.

Trio of High-Quality Effects

Space Rider offers two types of Reverb plus Delay and Chorus effects, all newly designed and inspired by both vintage and modern processors. With these effects positioned side-by-side, Space Rider helps you get the results you want faster—or explore sonic textures you never knew existed.

Fast, Creative Sound Shaping

Transform your effects on the fly with the built-in filtering, width manipulation, and modulation offsets, and create sounds you’ve never heard from Reverb, Delay, and Chorus.
