Device Details


Overview

Name | Version: HP Wider 1.0
Author: SquatEA
Device Type: Audio Effect
Description: A phase-accurate stereo expander for Max for Live.
This device widens mono signals using Hilbert transform processing and an alternative ±45° phase rotation mode — without relying on simple delay tricks or basic Haas widening.

What it does
- True quadrature signal generation via Hilbert transform
- Alternative 45° phase rotation mode (L/R with opposite polarity)
- Mono-compatible design
- Continuous width control
- Zero artificial reverb or chorus artifacts

Why it’s different
Most stereo wideners fake width with delays or decorrelation.
This one works in the phase domain.
Cleaner center.
More stable low-end.
Better mono fold-down.

Perfect for:
- Mono synths
- Bass textures (controlled widening)
- Sound design layers
- Experimental spatial processing
