State-of-the-art Sonic Sculpting and Temporal Tampering

Thanks to a partnership with iZotope and its Radius plug-in’s algorithms, Avid’s X-Form plug-in is your gateway to unparalleled time-space warping. Sitting at the zenith of time compression/expansion and pitch-shifting possibilities, X-Form offers two distinct algorithms of unreal sonic-manipulation potential that deliver natural formant-correct processing, leaving Sweetwater’s studio scholars amazed at the consistent pro-tier output, even when pushed to the extreme. From everyday production and ambitious sample-warping exploration to foley work and visionary sound-design possibilities, X-Form spans an expansive array of evocative sonic-contouring tools, effortlessly preserving stereo imaging, attack transients, and timing accuracy. And with a host of multichannel and multi-input supports complementing its spectrum of pitch-bending power, X-Form is an essential plug-in to supercharge your Avid Pro Tools palette.

Multidimensional musicality

Whether you need some subtle nudging or explosive manipulation, Avid’s X-Form plug-in has you covered. Time compression and expansion covers a mammoth 12.5%–800% range of processing, meaning anywhere from 1/8 to eight times the duration of your audio is transformed with transparency that ensures natural, nuanced audio. On the pitch front, mono, stereo, monophonic, and polyphonic processing modes cover an extensive 6-octave range — three above and three below — that preserves every element of your audio with exacting precision. Moreover, X-Form’s algorithms can be applied to multichannel and multi-input configurations, remaining phase coherent to guarantee pristine processing is always on tap.

Avid X-Form Features:

  • Cutting-edge audio processing provides advanced, natural, and professional time compression/expansion and pitch shifting
  • 2 baseline algorithms streamline your workflow without sacrificing depth of detail or precise control
  • Designed under license of iZotope’s Radius algorithms to guarantee premium performance at extreme settings
  • Time compression and expansion spans a 12.5%–800% range of processing to give you high-fidelity output with stereo imaging, attack transients, and timing intact
  • ±3-octave range of pitch-shifting possibilities means subtle nudges and extreme alterations are always available
  • Multichannel and multi-input support promise phase-coherent processing with mono, stereo, monophonic, and polyphonic audio

Reviews

Much better than stock TC/E
This TC/E tool is much better than the pro tools stock TC/E (I use Pro Tools 9). I also have Serato's Pitch 'n Time Pro. The main con of X-Form is that you're quite limited with how far you can stretch audio. With Serato, you have much more capability to stretch audio. What's great about X-Form, however, is you can use it with Elastic Audio, which speeds up the editing process vs. manually editing each note/chord/transient. Between X-Form and Pitch 'n Time, I can get great results with my audio editing. If one doesn't seem to fit the audio or scenario, the other usually will.
