Phantom Sounds is giving away Intermod, a self-intermodulation effect plugin that generates “phantom frequencies” derived entirely from the input signal itself. Unlike ring modulators that rely on an external carrier, or distortion units that generate harmonics, Intermod multiplies the signal’s own components together to produce new frequencies — which means every input creates a uniquely characterful output profile.
Following up on Phantom Sounds’ previous freebies Orbit and 56K, Intermod is a sound-design-oriented tool that can conjure otherworldly tones and sustained, pulsing tails from drums, guitar, piano, synth, vocals, and more.
