Now Shipping: All-new Synchronic Loop Manipulation Tool

Make way for a whole new approach to stirring up your mix: the Synchronic^TM plug-in for Pro Tools^®. Whether in a studio environment or onstage, Synchronic gives you the power to substantially modify looped audio on the fly and, in the process, define your signature sound.

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.

Synchronic invites you to interact with its control set. With its 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. And 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.

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.
