Spectral Transform Tools From EMF!
We're always scouring the planet for new sounds and ways to make those sounds. The GRM Tools ST plug-in bundle is unbelievable for it's sound design possibilities. Used by artists like BT to create edgy film scores, dance electonica, pop, or to push vocal processing even further - GRM Tools ST is one of the more mind-bending collections of plug-ins ever. if you're interested in fresh sounds, look no further than GRM Tools ST.


GRM Tools ST Bundle at a Glance:
  • Four plug-ins based on FFT analysis and resynthesis.
  • Contrast: extreme transformations and effects.
  • Equalize: turns an equalizer into a performance instrument.
  • FreqShift: transform sound by frequency scaling or shifting.
  • FreqWarp: radical transformation of timbre.


4 Spectral Transform Tools
Based on advanced FFT technology, GRM Tools ST (Spectral Transform) is a bundle of four Native plug-ins designed to be used in applications that range from mastering and composition to sound design and post production. The GRM Tools ST plug-ins contain all of GRM's interface and control innovations, such as the elastic string, 2DController, SuperSlider, and high-level parameter interpolation, which make them intuitive, easy to use, and musical.

Contrast
GRM Tools ST Contrast can add vibrancy, liveliness, depth, and subtle changes in timbre to sounds in mastering applications, and create a wide range of extreme transformations and effects. GRM Tools ST Contrast takes a completely original approach to compression/expansion-type processing technique.

GRM Tools STContrast analyzes a user-defined frequency range within the spectrum of an input sound and groups the frequency components within that range according to the strength of their amplitudes. The groups are frequency components with strong amplitudes, frequency components with medium amplitudes, and frequency components with weak amplitudes. The strength of each of the groups can then be modified independently.

GRM Tools ST Contrast's approach allows you to redefine the character of a sound in a powerful and original way. If you decrease the strength of the medium and weak amplitudes, thus emphasizing the strong amplitudes, for example, you'll make a sound more mellow. If you strengthen the medium amplitudes relative to the stronger and weaker amplitudes, you'll add vibrancy, liveliness, and depth to a sound. If you strengthen the weak amplitudes relative to the others, you'll make the sound more metallic, harsh, and percussive. GRM Tools ST Contrast is out of control.


GRM Tools ST Equalize
GRM Tools ST Equalize uses powerful and dynamic controls to rebalance the highs, lows, and mid-range of a sound. In the stereo version of GRM Tools ST Equalize, you can control the equalization curves of left and right channels independently or together.

GRM Tools ST Equalize is a 31-band graphic equalizer. Each band, controlled by a single slider, is 1/3-octave according to the ISO norm. Intuitive mouse-and-key commands are used to manipulate the slider controls easily and responsively. You can create an equalization curve with simple mouse gestures, for example, or move the curve to higher or lower frequencies, or control any number of sliders as a group. This plug-in turns an equalizer into a performance instrument.


GRM Tools ST FreqShift
GRM Tools ST FreqShift allows you to transpose or transform a sound by any combination of frequency scaling or frequency shifting.

GRM Tools ST FreqShift contains two functions that can be used separately or together. The scale function transposes a sound by multiplying each spectral component by a constant frequency.

The shift function is a frequency shifter, sometimes referred to as a single-sideband ring modulator, that adds a constant frequency to each spectral component. When you use a frequency shifter, harmonic sounds become inharmonic.

FreqWarp
GRM Tools ST FreqWarp performs radical transformation of a sound by transposing its frequency components in a completely free and creative way.

The input bar beneath the GRM Tools ST FreqWarp control window shows a bar display of the frequency components of an input sound, where low-to-high frequencies are represented left to right and the intensity of the frequency components is represented by color. The output bar to the left of the GRM Tools ST FreqWarp control window shows a bar display of the output sound, where low-to-high frequencies are represented bottom to top and the intensity of the frequency components is represented by color density.

The diagonal line shown in the GRM Tools ST FreqWarp control window defines the transpositions from input sound to output sound. When the diagonal line is straight from lower left to upper right, the position of any point on the line indicates the same frequency along the input and output bars. When you click on the diagonal line, or anywhere in the GRM Tools ST FreqWarp control window, you create a junction point at a specific position that represents a source frequency in the input sound and a destination frequency in the output sound. You are, in effect, transferring a frequency from the input sound to a new position in the output sound, and the output sound will contain a rearrangement of the frequency components of the input sound. This is how the GRM Tools ST FreqWarp can create a radical change in timbre.
