Digidesign is hoping that
its new RTAS plug-in, Transfuser ($295;
www.digidesign.com/index.cfm?navid=314&itemid=5962&ref=preview_redirect),
will inspire modern dance and electronic producers to love Pro Tools by
offering some very futuristic tools inside a groove-oriented interface that
makes it a snap to create killer fluid grooves from even the most mundane of
sources. Using a modular layout almost as if Reason were made up of Ableton
modules, samples or regions can be dragged from the desktop, left-hand browser
or from within Pro Tools itself and dropped into Transfuser using one of the
four basic Synth modules. The Slicer Synth will divide audio at its transients
and allows the slices to be rearranged or manipulated. The Phrase Synth will
beat-match any audio to the current session tempo (similar to Warping in
Ableton). The Drums Synth provides 12 Sample Pads—great for dropping in your
favorite hits. Lastly, the Input Synth lets you use Transfuser's awesome
effects on any incoming Pro Tools audio. Using the different Sequencer modules,
Effects modules, Controller section and powerful randomizer (called
MARIO—Musical Advanced Random Intelligence Operations), you can seriously
glitch out and destroy your audio all with a rhythmic bent that is impressive
and perfect for modern production styles.
