Efx AMBIENT
Un procesador onírico
Efx AMBIENT combina procesamiento espectral, redes de delay con realimentación y rutas complejas de efectos para crear espacios sonoror nuevos y eternamente cambiantes. Con seis modos distintos, control gestural de parámetros y un panel avanzado para modulación y movimiento avanzados: adéntrate en mundos inauditos.
Diffuse
the unheard
Efx AMBIENT merges state-of-the-art spectral processing with an immediate and inspiring graphical workflow.
From time-reversed textures to granular bending expanses and pitch-stepped after-effects - choose a mode, shape motion and push the boundaries of atmospheric sound design.
Craft evolving soundscapes
Six distinctive modes turn a simple input into an evolving sonic space - each with its own signal architecture, Feedback Delay Networks, and dedicated character FX.
Multidimensional control
Go from subtle enhancement to dramatic transformation with a two-axis X/Y control surface that maps Tone and Space in one continuous gesture.
In-depth motion shaping
When you’re ready to go deeper, four modulators - Sequencer, Function, Random, and Envelope Follower - add rhythmic structure, dynamic response, and continuous variation.
Set the
threshold
A two-axis macro control lets you explore every point of interaction between Space (X) and Tone (Y) in one continuous gesture.
Push up for more tonal weight, glide right for depth and diffusion — or pull back macro % to keep the sonic footprint in check.

From input
to infinity
Discover six distinct sonic spaces with custom signal mapping - from reverse cascades to overtone haze and degraded tape motion.
Each mode pairs a distinctive character with dedicated secondary controls that let you explore unique effects, edges and perturbations - at your command.
Reflect
backward swells
Turns any input into discrete segments, creating reversed swells and cinematic, time-shifted textures.
<more info>
Woven
tape stutter
Tape-style repeats with an upward-shifted spatial response for shimmering interlaced textures with a warm analog feel.
<more info>
Siren
stretched resonance
Resonant cloud shaping that stretches and blurs harmonic content into dense, smeared atmospheres.
<more info>
Organist
harmonic generation
Overtone generation and spectral enhancement that thickens and extends sounds into rich, organ-like textures.
<more info>
Codec
lossy compression
Lo-fi digital degradation inspired by lossy audio compression, introducing spectral artifacts, freezes, and digital instability.
<more info>
Sunken
ominous atmosphere
Create deep underwater atmospheres, combining dark tonal shaping with a pitched-down spatial response.

El panel
avanzado
Take your experimentation to another level with extended per-mode controls, precision Macros and a drag-and-drop modulation system that turns static air into malleable space.
Four modulators
Sequencer, Function, Random, and Envelope Follower add rhythmic structure, evolving curves, organic variation, or input-reactive motion - from subtle animation to complex, continuously shifting parameter motion.
Macro programming
View extended Macros and per-mode FX, assign multiple destinations per Macro, and shape how they respond with amount and range for controlled, performance-ready gestures.
Mix utilities
Filter what hits the engine with the Input Filter, set Pre-Delay to create separation and perceived distance, and apply Ducking so transients stay clear and defined.

A curated set of presets that showcases Efx AMBIENT’s range — from gentle diffusion to vast, evolving textures.
Epiphany
Creates long and lush ambient swells.
Insect Skanner
Higher frequencies transform into a bright yet menacing atmosphere.
Kush Crush
Lo-fi reverb with randomized crushing for an unpredictable degraded haze.
Organist Dreams
Harmonically-rich space, sparkling from within the darkness.
Shoegazer
Adds a touch of grit, and washes out the sound.
Stuck
Produces monotone and cold metallic tails.
Any source
transformed
Designed for innovative, experimental sound design, Efx AMBIENT takes you from subtle effect layering to textural world-building - turning simple sounds into living environments.
Transitions & tension beds
Turn any sonic material into builds, swells, and motion-heavy underscores. Use Reflect for backward cascades and pitched-down weight, or Siren for resonant vistas.
Instant pad creation
Make chords, guitars, vocals, or synth lines bloom into sustained, emotive layers. Organist adds overtone richness and body, while Woven brings tape-stutter shimmer.
Distorted and degraded FX
Push atmosphere into instability: codec grit, spectral holds and ominous undertones. Codec delivers glitch-type dropouts while Sunken adds weight, filtered depth, and irregular artefacts.

"The EFX Ambient plug-in is really amazing. I've been having a great time with the presets. I love the way it expands the sound source without changing it too much. The blend feature as well with the other it's a must have for me. "
Trevor Muzzy
Producer / Grammy-nominated mixer & engineer
"Instant ambient inspiration. I’m always a big fan of plugins that give you exciting sounds without having to mess with tons of knobs- but still allow you to dig deeper if you want to. This one can really bring a sound to life and expand it into other dimensions!"

Producer
"Not only do the preset effects stand on their own but the level of manipulation is also quite impressive. It adds a level of audio to my sounds I would never have thought of, I love the interface and how the X / Y paramteters can affect the tone and space effect, perfect for touch controllers,or touch pads infinite hours of sound adventures here... "
Sie Medway-Smith
Producer, Mixer
"What I love about Efx AMBIENT is how it turns a simple source into a living environment. It helps creates space, motion and dimension without losing clarity. A world within a world— instantly."
