Transform the tone of any audio with zplane’s new TIMBRE plugin
Already famed for its market-leading audio processing algorithms, zplane has just launched TIMBRE, a groundbreaking plugin that gives you a new way of shaping the character of any audio source – be that vocals, drums, instruments or even an entire mix – without affecting its pitch.
Catch up on all the latest news here.
TIMBRE is powered by an expanded version of the timbre-shifting engine that’s part of zplane’s renowned ÉLASTIQUE technology, and shifts formants and timbres across a massive range of plus or minus 36 semitones.
Key Features
- Real-time Formant Processing: Reshape the character of vocals, drums, individual instruments and full mixes without affecting their pitch
- Wide Timbre-shift Range: Go from subtle adjustments to extreme transformations with ±36 semitones of timbre-shifting
- Flexible Architecture: Use Unlinked Mode to independently process High and Low Bands, plus per-band On and Solo controls
- Linked Processing: Link the High and Low Bands for simple one-knob timbre-shaping across the entire frequency spectrum
- Dedicated Carrier Section: Create unique textures and formant-vocoder effects using the built-in noise generator or an external sidechain signal
- Fine-tune the Processing: Use the Resolution control to adjust processing detail, or use the Dry/Wet control to blend in the dry signal
- Low-latency Operation: Process audio in real-time with 23ms of latency @ 44.1kHz
The plugin’s flexible dual-band architecture enables you to process high and low frequencies separately, or you can link the bands for easy one-knob control. A dedicated Carrier section makes formant-vocoder effects possible, too, and low-latency operation allows for a creative and responsive experience.
You can find out more and download a demo of TIMBRE right now – it’s available at a 33% discount price until 30 September.
