Dimension Expander is a free stereo spreader plugin that emulates the classic Roland Dimension D hardware from the 1980s. Unlike typical stereo wideners, it works by creating four chorus voices with extended delay times, with two voices being out of phase with the other two. This creates a unique spatial effect that adds width and depth without the harshness of simple phase manipulation. The plugin utilizes various stereo widening techniques including phase manipulation and delay-based algorithms to achieve its characteristic sound. Known for its simplicity and effectiveness, Dimension Expander has become a go-to tool for adding subtle to dramatic width to instruments and vocals while maintaining mono compatibility.
