ShaperBox is a box of many must-have, well organised tools for sound design … The 'Time' function is my favourite.

What is TimeShaper?

Just like a DJ working vinyl, TimeShaper 3 lets you freely manipulate the flow of time, slowing down or accelerating your music. Simply draw the exact LFO shapes you need – our unique curve-editing tools make it fast and easy. Warp pitch and time to create everything from essential everyday FX to extreme multiband transformations.

Running inside Cableguys' ShaperBox 3 effects plugin, use TimeShaper on its own or with other Shapers – they all work in exactly the same way, stacking up to create elaborate, multilayered effects that'll make your productions stand out.

Incredible time-twisting effects

With TimeShaper, you'll manipulate the position of a virtual playhead within your audio to create chops, stutters, slow-downs, speed-ups, reverses, glitches, scratches, tape-stops… and more!

Drawing

Waveforms that you design

Our easiest ever waveform-editing tools make it simple to draw the exact time-bending patterns you want to hear.

Go from rhythmic repeats to wild pitch-warping transformations in just a few clicks.

Lock to the beat

Locks to the beat

Sync your patterns to beats and bars so they're always locked to your track. From half-bar reverses to intricate 8-bar stutter grooves and beyond, all with sample accuracy.

Audio Trigger
NEW

Follows any rhythm

Trigger your patterns in any rhythm at all using MIDI. Or use powerful new audio triggering that tightly tracks the rhythm of drums, loops, instruments – even full mixes.

Multiband

Multiband made easy

TimeShaper gives you a separate LFO for lows, mids and highs. Reverse the bass. Half-time the mids. Glitch the tops. Go nuts!

Time Offset Display
NEW

Amazing visual feedback

A unique time offset display shows precisely how TimeShaper's virtual playhead is moving inside your audio, helping you to design the perfect scratch, slow-down or stutter.

Quality

Top-quality algorithms

Best-in-class resampling interpolation means you can modulate audio speed to extremes with minimal aliasing and artifacts. And our Smooth Step Mode minimises the clicks and crackles that can affect other time-jumping plugins.
