DISC Steinberg GRM tools volume 1

Description complète

GRM Tools is a collection of 4 unique creative Plug-Ins for PC and Mac VST from the Musical Research Group (GRM) at the Institut National de l°Audiovisuel (Paris), which is well known for its research into new sound modeling tools. The GRM Tools Plug-Ins go beyond standard filtering, auto panning or chorus effects. Their extreme flexibility and quality algorithms lead to a degree of audio manipulation never heard before.

All 4 Plug-Ins offer the same interactive integrated preset handling which allows settings to be assigned to one button in order to be reselected with a single click. The key lies in the delay parameter which defines the time frame in milliseconds during which the settings from the one preset blend over into the other. Complex parameter mixes allowing sensational sound movements are created in no time at all!

Shuffling is a random micro-splicing and shuffling algorithm. Depending on the selected memory sizes and density, Shuffling introduces bouncing of signal fragments at definable points in the signal's actual timing, whilst preserving the overall continuity of its time sequence. This leads to spectacular panning, panorama width and stereo movement effects.

Comb Filters is a bank of 5 comb filters with resonance up to self-oscillation. The comb filter amplifies the signal at a given frequency and at all harmonic frequencies (integer multiples of the fundamental) of that frequency. Harmless drum loops grow into exciting new groove happenings by emphasizing certain frequencies or morphing classical instruments into abstract fx tunes.

PitchAccum is an algorithm which combines two transposers with their feedback delay device. Transposition is switchable on a periodic or random basis. Harmonizer effects and spectacular pitch related creations can be generated in seconds thanks to the interactive window.

Band Pass consists of a combination of two filters: a high-pass filter and a low-pass filter which together form a variable width band-pass or band-reject filter. The cut-off frequencies can be set individually. This allows creations ranging from "telephone�-effects to filter blends of all kinds - even separately for each channel in the stereo version!
