PVFX - Spectral Transformations


This new audio effect was designed to be played like a real-time instrument. Includes six primary effects that can be linked or used independently.

TRANSPOSER allows for continuous real-time pitch shifting. Produces major tonal changes which range from high reedy sounds, to richer low sounds.

ACCUMULATOR creates glissando, delay, pitch bends and reverberation effects.

EXAGGERATOR cranks the peaks and valleys of your spectral frequencies. Bring out and sweep through specific frequencies bands.

LO-HI FILTER removes frequencies above or below specified frequency levels.

TRACER allows you to thin the sound until only a 'trace' of its former self remains.

SHIFTER moves frequencies by adding or subtracting values to the various frequency components.


Additional Automatable effects
Tempo sync modulation filter ,Tempo sync delay , High frequency exciter, Tempo syncing classic phaser with feedback , Studio reverb, Multi-voice chorus/flanger , 2-band parametric EQ , Compressor/gate

 

P-SEQ - pattern sequencer


Create and edit music and automation using a flexible "piano roll" style pattern sequencer that superimposes track automation with note data. Offers step- and real-time recording. Automation can include track and MIDI data, plus automation for any DXi or audio effect patched.

Pattern Bin to browse, organize, and audition multiple patterns for your project then drag the patterns to the Pattern Editor for additional editing.
In Project5 all data can be treated as a pattern.
Automation can even be written to pattern independent of note data.
When you're ready, send your pattern to a track where you can click and drag to repeat patterns for the required duration, and cut and paste patterns to when and where you like.

 

SYNCHRON32 - Step Sequencer

Models and expands uponanalog hardware step-sequencing. Generate patterns and trigger synths, and trigger patterns in real-time from MIDI devices. Provides 32 steps with control over pitch; rhythmic duration with shuffle; tempo sync; per-step flam, legato, bends; polyphonic mode; 32 banks for pattern presets; more.
After creating patterns in SYNCHRON32, you can select simply right click in the Track View to from your many preset patterns. Then click and drag to repeat patterns for the required duration, and cut and paste patterns to when and where you like.

 

ACID-compatible loop integration

Click and drag to roll out tracks using ACID-format loops that match your project tempo and pitch changes. Features automatic beat matching, flexible time stretching/pitch shifting, and support for multiple loops per track.
Project5 comes packed with nearly 2 CDs of professional DS864 sampler banks, Velocity kits, and ACID-format loops from Q-Up Arts, FXpansion Audio,ProSamples, and Smart Loops.

 

SYN.OPS on-demand mixing

Click a track in the Tracker View and the related synth interface, effects, mix, and aux parameters appear ready for automation from your external MIDI devices, hardware control surface, or mouse.
