SYNCHRONIC DESCRIPTION |
|
A Whole New Approach To Stirring Up Your Mix In the worlds of electronic music and sound design, a tool occasionally appears that promises to leave a permanent imprint. Digidesign's new Synchronic software instrument is such a device, providing musicians and sound sculptors with an intuitive, deep-featured means of developing truly distinctive loops and enhancing the originality of one's work. Whether in a studio environment or onstage, the Synchronic plug-in for Pro Tools gives you the power to substantially modify looped audio on the fly and, in the process, define your signature sound. Digidesign Synchronic at a Glance:
Spontaneous Composition and Improvisation An ideal instrument for spontaneous composition and improvisation, Synchronic offers performing electronic musicians and DJs the ability to sculpt loops and create tempo-based effects in a live setting in real time. With Synchronic, you can easily create rhythmic modifications and in-tempo effects with individual beats and beat subdivisions within a loop. With Synchronic's many possibilities and ease-of-use, you can achieve virtually any desired effect or something completely unexpected. When combined with a MIDI controller, all of its parameters can be controlled in real time, and individual presets within Synchronic's modules can be recalled simply by triggering a MIDI key. Once audio loops are loaded into Synchronic, they can be controlled using Synchronic's user interface, Pro Tools MIDI tracks, an external MIDI controller, a qualified Digidesign control surface such as Command|8, and/or Pro Tools plug-in automation. Multiple instances of Synchronic can run within the same Pro Tools LE or TDM session to meet your creative demands. Synchronic can even work alongside other music software products such as Ableton Live and Propellerhead Reason to bring a new breadth to your music. Five Main Sections or Modules Synchronic features five main sections or modules, each of which can be edited, stored, and recalled through presets accessible via the plug-in: Sound Module - The Sound module can load up to twelve different mono or stereo audio files of any bit depth and sample rate. After importing a file, the loop can be sliced up to play in synchronization with the Pro Tools MIDI Beat Clock. Any two sounds (A and B sources) can be played back simultaneously. Playback Module - The Playback module manipulates the output of the Sound module. Various aspects of sound playback - such as speed, order, duration and direction, as well as modes such as "Stab," "Spin," and "Smear" - are synchronized with the Pro Tools MIDI Beat Clock. Effect Module - This module processes the output of the Playback module and can be synced to the Pro Tools MIDI Beat Clock to introduce any combination of four concurrent in-tempo effects: Gain, Noise, Filter, and Delay. XFade Module - Synchronic's XFade (crossfade) module mixes the A and B sounds after they have been processed by the Sound, Playback and Effect modules. The crossfade between the A and B sounds can be controlled by either a Synchronic preset or through a mixer's crossfader. The XFade module presets can also be synced to the Pro Tools MIDI Beat Clock for in-tempo crossfading. MIDI Module - Synchronic's MIDI Module enables you to assign and trigger combinations of sounds and module presets using MIDI. You can also freely map MIDI controllers to Synchronic controls. Complex Beat Manipulation and Beat Clock Sync Unlike other beat and looping software products, Synchronic synchronizes to the Pro Tools MIDI Beat Clock directly. This relationship results in Synchronic playback locking to the Pro Tools session tempo (including tempo changes) even while you create modifications in the playback order, speed, and volume of individual beats and subdivisions of the beat (or "slices") within a loop. Synchronic is fully capable of performing complex beat manipulations, effects, and cross-modulations while remaining tightly synced to the Pro Tools MIDI Beat Clock. These effects are not limited to being applied only to loops in their entirety but also to individual beats within the loop, allowing you to create complex soundscapes that are still tied to an underlying pulse from the MIDI Beat Clock. 200 MB of Royalty-Free Loops 200 MB of royalty-free loops contributed by Digidesign's Development Partners™ ship with Synchronic to get you going right out of the box. In addition to sample-rate support up to 96 kHz, SD II, WAV, and AIFF files are fully supported and can be easily imported. LE and HD Compatible Synchronic is compatible with Digidesign-approved Pro Tools|HD, HD Accel, MIX Digi 002, Digi 002 Rack, Mbox, or Digi 001 systems running on Windows XP or Mac OS X. An iLok USB Smart Key and iLok.com account are required for authorization. Digidesign Synchronic Features:
