What is Orbitix Raw?
Orbitix Raw opens up your mix from a single knob. It spreads the stereo image and eases in high-frequency shimmer for air: the same engine from the full Orbitix, here pinned to a mono-safe, level-stable mode that keeps your bass solid and centered. The level is matched as you widen, so your mix sounds bigger and more dimensional, not just louder.

The knob
- 2SPACE: a single macro that drives width and shimmer together. As you turn it up, the stereo field spreads and a polished high-frequency shimmer eases in for sparkle. It runs in a mono-safe, level-stable mode the whole time, keeping the low end mono so the result is always club- and phone-compatible. At zero, Orbitix Raw leaves the level and stereo image untouched, and everything else is tuned internally: SPACE is the only control you need.
Key specs*
| Bass-mono crossover | A Linkwitz-Riley split sums everything below the crossover to mono and only widens the highs, protecting the low end. |
|---|---|
| Correlation Safe Mode | Width is pulled back when phase correlation drops, and a Center-Anchor Gain Shield locks the phantom center, so the mix survives mono fold-down. |
| Oversampled shimmer | The air exciter is generated through 8× polyphase-IIR oversampling for clean, anti-aliased high-frequency saturation, with an anti-hiss gate that fades the shimmer on near-silent input. |
| Level-matched, constant latency | A gentle output bias holds perceived level steady as the air builds, and the shimmer oversampler's latency is reported once and never changes mid-stream, so plugin delay compensation stays stable. |
| Output safety | A 15 Hz DC blocker preserves headroom and a soft-knee sanitizer bounds the output and guards against NaN/Inf on any input. |
| Controls | One knob, SPACE |
| Formats | macOS: AU, VST3, CLAP, AAX, Standalone. Windows: VST3, CLAP, Standalone |

How do I use Orbitix Raw on a track?
- Insert it. Put Orbitix Raw on the track or bus you want to change.
- Start with SPACE at 0. At zero, Orbitix Raw leaves the level and stereo image untouched, and everything else is tuned internally: SPACE is the only control you need.
- Turn SPACE up. Raise SPACE until it sounds right. As you turn it up, the stereo field spreads and a polished high-frequency shimmer eases in for sparkle. It runs in a mono-safe, level-stable mode the whole time, keeping the low end mono so the result is always club- and phone-compatible.
What about the full Orbitix?
Love the space? The full Orbitix goes deeper. The Pro version adds three width algorithms (Haas / Mid-Side / Stereo Shuffle), three width characters, three shimmer voicings (Air / Silk / Sizzle), full Air-band frequency control, a mono-anchor crossover, real-time phase correlation monitoring, Black Hole and Supernova transition effects, and 12 factory presets. Every control is explained in the Orbitix manual.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is Orbitix Raw free?
Yes. Orbitix Raw is completely free: freeware, no trial, no nag screens, no expiration.
What does the SPACE knob do?
SPACE is a macro that drives Orbitix's width engine, spreading the stereo image and adding high-frequency shimmer together. It runs in a mono-safe, level-stable mode that keeps the low end mono-compatible and the output level-matched, so it sounds bigger, never just louder.
Is Orbitix Raw mono-compatible?
Yes. Width runs in a volume-stable, mono-safe mode that keeps bass mono, so your mix survives mono fold-down on club PAs and phone speakers.
How is Orbitix Raw different from Orbitix (Pro)?
Orbitix Raw gives you the width and shimmer engine behind one SPACE knob with automatic level-matching. The full Orbitix adds per-band width, Haas / Stereo Shuffle modes, three width characters, three shimmer voicings, full Air-band control, phase monitoring, and 12 factory presets.
Does Orbitix Raw run on Apple Silicon and Windows?
Yes. Orbitix Raw is a Universal Binary that runs natively on Apple Silicon (M1/M2/M3/M4) and Intel Macs, and ships as a 64-bit build for Windows 10 and 11.
