Anansi Mid/Side Router

Mastering Spider, with integrated mono check, mergers and splitters

Anansi is an audio routing super-spider designed particularly for use in Reason’s Master Insert FX section, featuring a mid/side send/return splitter and a mono mix check facility.

With its clean lines and simple-to-use interface, this is the only mid/side splitter you need in your Master Inserts section.

Product Details

The Mid/Side section allows for splitting an incoming stereo single into two mono signals for separate processing and re-merging them. Up to three stereo signals can be run through a one-switch Mono Check function to check mono compatibility. Additionally there are basic three-channel merger and splitter sections.

Anansi RE includes several example preset Combinators compatible with Reason and Reason Intro and Reason Lite, plus several further examples using a number of additionally available Rack Extensions contemporary to the original release.
