The Kaleidoscopes Black Friday deal from Waves takes 69% off this modulation plugin, which comes to $29.99 until Nov 26, 2026.
Kaleidoscopes is a multi-effect plugin that puts four classic modulation pedals in one window: phaser, flanger, tremolo and chorus. The maker calls it a multi-FX playground for adding color and movement to a track.
The plugin runs two independent modulation engines. Each engine carries its own flanger, phaser, chorus and tremolo, and you can wire the two together in series or in parallel.
That routing is where new production effects come from. Stack a tremolo into a phaser, or run a chorus beside a flanger and blend the two.
Smart triggering lets the effects react to your playing in real time. The maker's examples: chop synth rhythms with tremolos, change mod rates with guitar strums, or trigger sweeps from drums.
You also choose the modulation source. Options include the input signal, a sidechain, and a range of waveshapes.
Each engine has its own set of five controls, so the two layers can run at different speeds and depths. The five analog tonal characters add another way to shape each effect.
On Mac, Kaleidoscopes supports macOS Monterey 12, Ventura 13, Sonoma 14 and Sequoia 15, in VST, AU and AAX formats.
On PC, it needs Windows 10 or later and comes as VST and AAX.
If your DAW loads VST, AU or AAX plugins, the Kaleidoscopes VST fits into a standard insert or send setup. Put it on a synth bus for rhythmic tremolo chops, or on a guitar track and let the playing drive the rate.
