Synchronic

Compatible with both Pro Tools LE and TDM systems, Synchronic is a novel new RTAS plug-in that enables you to easily manipulate audio loops to create an innumerable variety of unique rhythmic and sonic variations. With Synchronic, you can easily create rhythmic modifications and intempo effects with individual beats and beat subdivisions within a loop.

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. Much like a typical DJ rig's deck arrangement, Synchronic's interface includes two discreet channels through which audio is displayed, manipulated, and played back. 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 Beat Clock to introduce any combination of four concurrent intempo 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 DJ mixer-style crossfader. The XFade Module presets can also be synced to the Pro Tools MIDI Beat Clock for intempo crossfading.

MIDI Module — Synchronic's MIDI Module enables you to assign and trigger combinations of sounds and module presets via MIDI. You can also freely map MIDI controllers to Synchronic controls.
