“The Transient Former

The idea behind the Transient Former TDESIGN is to give the user direct control over the attack and sustain characteristics of natural sounds, and though this sounds less than revolutionary, you only have to play with the unit for a few minutes to realise that the Transient Former is a very powerful creative tool. For example, you can take a recording of an unremarkable drum kit and dial in some really hard-hitting attack or take a very percussive sound and soften the attack. You can also use the sustain control to work on the decay portion of sounds, and with drums you can tighten up the sound to give a fast, dry decay or you can make them ring as though you’d taken the dampers off the kit. It’s just like having remote control over the amount of damping tape stuck to the drum heads, but after the recording. Other than a compressor this process is independent of level and the effect is the same regardless of whether the input signal is loud or soft.
Unique to TDESIGN is the ability to shape the transient not only amplitude wise but also with a dynamically controlled 24 dB lowpass filter with resonance control. This gives you the opportunity to change the sound in a way which normally is only possible if you recreate it with a synthesizer !
The transient design process works best on drums and other material which exhibits strong rhythmical components. But it’s really worth to try it with other input sources…

TERA

TERA

“Explore new sound spaces with VirSyn TERA that go beyond the emulation of synthesizer legends. Use the power of analog and digital synthesis combined with new physical models and new user interface elements to navigate through 8- dimensional sound spaces exceeding the limits of traditional sound morphing. The well-designed algorithms and the economical modular structure provides you with a comparatively high voice yield. Wireless patching of modules combined with an intelligent modulation matrix simplifies the development of new synthesizers from scratch. Up to 16 modular Synthesizers can be used simultaneously, all having the same user interface helping you operate this multi- modular system without losing track. Distortion, echo/delay and chorus/flanger/phaser effects for every modular synthesizer help boosts the sound into outer space. VirSyn TERA gives your production an individual character with its unique fat sound. Precise timing even with an external sequencer lets you feel the rhythm. Produce complete productions with VirSyn TERA as a stand-alone tool. Inspire yourself from the newly-designed 64 step- sequencer, expanding the concept of the classic analog sequencer with variable rhythmic structures and chord sequences. Or use the sequencer for real-time transposition of keys to play never-before heard arpeggios. Arrange up to 256 sequences in the song editor to complete the composition. And the integrated mixing console, together with a room simulator and a global chorus effect, helps you in the final production step.

“VoxSyn – Voice Controlled Synthesizer for iPad and iPhone

VoxSyn turns your voice into the most flexible vocal sound generator ever. Instantly following even subtle modulations of pitch and spectral changes of your voice VoxSyn creates signature vocal sounds far beyond traditional vocoding.

Talk or sing into the microphone and you’ll trigger various synthesizer sounds following your voice pitch or the notes touched on the hexagonal keyboard / external MIDI Keyboard. The basic sounds are selected from a vast pool of predefined sounds from the famous TERA synthesis engine which can be further expanded by its unique random sound generator.

The harmonic table note layout visualizes your voices pitch in realtime and also let you play notes for more traditional vocoder effects.
