Liftoff is a phaser-flanger built for takeoff. Turn one knob and your whole sound sweeps skyward. Hit one button and it launches itself into orbit. Flume-style warp included.
Get started in 3 steps
1. Put Liftoff on a track. Synths, vocals, pads, whole mixes before a drop: anything you want to send to space.
2. Turn LAUNCH. This is the big one. As you turn it up, the sweep climbs. Ride it by hand for builds.
3. Hit IGNITE. One press and Liftoff auto-ramps to full altitude over four seconds. Perfect right before a drop.
Make it yours
WARP. The Flume-style time-and-space warp. Adds motion inside the sweep for that expensive modern texture.
SPEED. How fast the phaser-flanger cycles. Slow is cinematic, fast is alarm-going-off energy.
STEREO. Spreads the sweep wide across the speakers.
Automate everything. Every knob is automatable. Draw a LAUNCH curve over 8 bars and walk away.
Pro tip
Stack IGNITE with a riser sample and a drum fill. The auto-ramp is exactly four seconds, so line it up with the last bar before your drop.
Common questions
What is the difference between a phaser and a flanger? Both sweep a whoosh through your sound. A phaser is smooth and watery, a flanger is metallic and jet-like. Liftoff blends both into one launch control, from gentle motion to full rocket takeoff.
