What it is
A tonal macro with four bipolar axes, each running from -100 to +100: Warmth, Space, Width, and Edge. Eight presets plus a reset give you a fast starting point. Each axis is a macro: moving one drives several modules under the hood at once (stereo width, compressor, saturation, M/S EQ, and EQ shelves), so a single move shapes the global character without you opening each panel.
How to use it
- Start from one of the eight presets, or reset to neutral and dial the axes by hand
- Warmth shifts the low-end body and harmonic colour; positive warms, negative tightens
- Space opens up depth and air; Width widens or narrows the stereo image
- Edge adds bite and presence at the top, or softens it when pulled negative
- Each axis is bipolar (-100 to +100); small moves usually do the job on a mix that's already close
What it affects
Global tonal character driven from one control surface. Because each axis maps onto several modules at once (stereo width, compressor, saturation, M/S EQ, and EQ shelves), ToneMap is the fast way to shift the overall feel without manually balancing each section. Useful when the mix is almost there but you want it warmer, wider, airier, or with more edge. Saved with the session as part of .mfproj.
