The Interface

The Plugin, At A Glance

One panel. Hover a dot or a control below to see what it does.

01Forward / Back

Sets spatial depth. Pull toward Back to cut the direct signal and raise early reflections, pushing the source deeper; push Forward to drop reflections and apply a mid-band boost that brings it closer.

02Vortex Visualizer

A live view of the spatial field — the vortex reacts as you move elements forward and back through the mix.

03Dimension Modes

Sets the room character for the Back position: 1 is a medium space, 2 is the smallest (great for drums and percussion), 3 is the largest for deep background or creative effects. Only affects Back.

04Up / Down

A simple gain control to fine-tune the overall level of the processed signal.

Depth & Space

Pull Your Listener Into the Mix

Black Vortex gives you a simple way to push sounds forward or backward without complicated routing, confusing reverb chains, or endless tweaking. Create space, movement, and depth in seconds.

Time-Based Effect

Finally Create Depth In Your Mix

Create a more immersive mix by adding dimension around your sounds. Black Vortex helps your mix feel wider, deeper, and more alive without washing everything out.

Depth Control

Pan Things Front To Back

Most plugins let you pan left and right. Black Vortex lets you control front-to-back placement, helping vocals, instruments, and effects sit exactly where they should in the mix.
