Custom slider adsr sample manager5/6/2023 ![]() ![]() Each of the seven controls also has a Mute function so that you can bring sound sources in and out as you work. In the case of the sound sources and the convolvers you have total flexibility to sculpt the sound in the same manner. The controls are nearly identical except for the Dry and Wet controls in this instance being swapped out for Output and Pitch. At the very top are four sound sources, each with their own ADSR, Waveform and Parameter controls for Dry, Wet & HPF the central section houses the three convolvers. The main GUI is designed around a fairly logical layout. Just as Spitfire Audio has developed a series of videos to cover the functionality of BT Phobos, I couldn’t possibly do justice to covering every nuance in a single review so I encourage you to watch the videos and read the documentation to get the most out of what is possible. There is a well-defined method to the madness at play here that will become increasingly clear as you work with it. What makes more sense is to look at the primary interface and dive in from there.Īt first glance, the interface may seem a little bit ominous. I thought it was an important illustration of the overall complexity of the underpinnings over the engine behind it. I think that the slide that Spitfire Audio has made available to map the signal chain for BT Phobos is beyond impressive, if not a little menacing at first glance.īack to the question at hand, “What does BT Phobos do?” So, the above diagram clears It all up for you then? I’m guessing not. When I used to lecture I always joked about breaking out the complex diagrams and deep-diving on the technology. Think about it simply like subbing in the sound of a pad or bell for the large room or cathedral IR which creates and entirely new sound by marrying that to a string or percussion sound. By using three separate convolvers to modify the four potential sound paths, we arrive at Polyconvolution. ![]() ![]() ![]() This allows you to take a beat, pad or string noise and effect it via a selection of tonal convolutions which contain the same sounds as the sound sources themselves. The pressing question for many is “What is Polyconvolution Synthesis?” BT came up with the idea of using convolution IRs and instead of using them in a conventional way, they are being used as tonal convolvers. This partnership gave birth to a unique opportunity to stand the world of composing and frankly synthesis as we know it, squarely on its head. While the venture took two long years, I think at the end of the day it has really paid off big! Featuring custom sound design by BT, Richard Devine, Christian Henson, Paul Thomson and the entire Spitfire teamīT Phobos sells for $299.00 from Spitfire AudioīT (Brian Transeau) should need no formal introduction here, but based on his current level of achievement in the music world you need to ask: What do you do after you have invented Trance, scored music for over 4 dozen movies and video games (including The Fast and the Furious, Laura Croft: Tomb Raider & Monster) and released a steady stream of albums, done sound design work and performed live? Well, you get together with Spitfire Audio and develop a new class of synthesizer that is out of this world.įor Spitfire Audio who also needs no introduction, this partnership gave birth to a unique opportunity to stand the world of composing and frankly synthesis as we know it, squarely on its head.
