Soundtoys Effect Rack

What Soundtoys Effect Rack 5 Is For

Soundtoys Effect Rack 5 is a multi-effects processor for mixing and sound design that centralizes essential treatments within a single interface. It is used to shape vocals, add character to drums, enrich bass, thicken synths, or transform a track into cinematic texture. In the studio, it is employed both for subtle processing (warmth, presence, width, perceived dynamics) and for creative effects (rhythmic delays, modulations, animated filtering, experimental ambiences).

Main Features

A complete multi-effects rack with 14 premium modules

Effect Rack 5 brings together 14 Soundtoys effects ready to be combined in a single chain. You'll find musical delays, analog-style saturations, and modulation and filtering effects designed to add movement, depth, and personality to your productions.

Custom chains and instant recall

Create custom effect chains by stacking modules in the order that suits your sonic intention. Once your processing is dialed in, you can save and recall your chains easily from project to project, regardless of your DAW, saving valuable time in production and mixing.

Global controls, Mix, and Recycle: from musical to radical

The global controls allow you to manipulate the chain as a single effect, ideal for automating an overall sound without multiplying tracks. The Mix control simplifies adding parallel processing, perfect for retaining the attack of a source while adding grain, width, or movement. The Recycle control opens the door to original ambiences and denser textures, useful for transitions, special effects, or giving a sonic signature to a bus.
