Zynaptiq CREATE Bundle Creative Processing Plug-Ins

The CREATE Bundle by Zynaptiq bundles six sound design powerhouses into one indispensable package. Synthesize, cross-filter, transform, vocode, warp, morph, sustain, formant-/pitch-/frequency-shift your audio, control pitch polyphonically, colorize your sounds, and add the lushest sounding smart reverb available today. Whether you are a sound designer, music producer, audio artist or film composer, the CREATE Bundle is for you.

Colorize Your Sound

Like its popular sibling PITCHMAP, PITCHMAP::COLORS conforms any audio to whatever tonality you want, quickly and easily. It does so with a distinctly electronic flavor geared for sound design. Switch between the SICK setting, the gloriously resonant NSANE, and the mesmerizingly electric WTF modes, with a single click.

Map Those Pitches

PITCHMAP::COLORS works by separating the input audio into separate sounds based on their pitch, then shifting each up or down to fit a pitch grid individually. This grid is set up using the UI keyboard or a MIDI keyboard—just play the chords that you want to shape the tonality of your audio. Turn major into minor, A minor 7 to F# Major, or wobble bass and noise into harmonic content.

Tweak That Sound

PITCHMAP::COLORS goes way beyond just pitch-mapping your audio. On top of switching the pitch-mapping algorithm itself between three types of awesome modes, the plug-in also provides scale shifting, advanced formant processing, and transient bypass functionality, as well as high-pass and low-pass filters. Create harmonic processing in seconds.

Scale Shift

The Scale Shift parameter makes it easier than ever to sweep through the pitch grid. Find the sweet spot within the scale, or automate Scale Shift as a new arrangement technique, with a single MIDI-controllable parameter.

Formant Shift

PITCHMAP::COLORS features a powerful formant shifter, for changing the perceived size of the sound and making large pitch shifts more natural sounding. Its two octave range has you covered from huge demon voices to hyperactive chipmunks, and a 0.01 semitone resolution provides butter-smooth automations.

Formant Gamma

The formant shifter sports a unique function called Formant Gamma that exaggerates formant peaks and troughs. Think of it as a complex self-modulating filter that creates far-out organic-sounding mutations that add movement and an alien sonic quality to your mix.

Transient Bypass

The more extreme sound modes can smooth out transients in a cool way, but sometimes you may want the transient detail. Enter PITCHMAP::COLOR's super-easy-to-use and great-sounding Transient Bypass. Just dial in the amount of transients that you want to take out of the pitch mapping and then mix back in afterwards. Optionally, boost them beyond their original level, with just one control.

Zynaptiq Morph 3 PRO Audio-Morphing Plug-In

FX Blend

Instead of a dry-wet control, WORMHOLE offers an FX Blend section which provides multiple algorithms for combining processed signal with unprocessed signal, thus allowing you to morph seamlessly between your input and the effect you'd wish to use. The net effect is a more natural fusing between dry and wet signal, as well as greater realism for heavily processed effects in sound-design applications (invaluable for yet larger than life-yet realistic-voices for monsters, aliens, or whatever else a production necessitates). Additionally, the FX Blend will allow the harmonics achieved by your effects chain to bloom out of the sound source, rather than fade in.

Warp

This module performs a localized time-domain spectral warping effect. Its flavor evokes aspects of ring-modulation, frequency-modulation, frequency-shifting, formant-shifting, modal resonation, and spectral mapping, without sounding like any one of these specific processes. Although Warp, like many of the other facets of this plug-in, does not introduce aliasing, it also includes a tilt control which can add aliasing into the signal to generate grit.

Shift

This effect combines +/-4 octaves of pitch-shifting with +/-4 kHz of frequency-shifting into a single processing step, doing so in a manner that is neither delay/grain nor FFT/phase-vocoder based. Therefore, this module exhibits none of the typical artifacts of software pitch-shifting; neither grains, nor flamming, nor aliasing are present here, while pitch-jumping and warbling is minimal. The module offers 4 dedicated algorithms: Smooth, Tight, Detune A, and Detune B. From simple pitch shifting to thickening chorus effects, pitch-shifting will sound warm and organic. The Frequency Shifter is also clean, providing 96 dB of carrier/side-band suppression and operating aliasing-free. You'll note the Decay Time slider, which, discarding signal components that exceed an adjustable duration, unclutters and tightens up the sound. For instance, it can greatly reduce the ringing effect caused by naturally longer decay times in lower frequencies being forcibly shifted into a subjectively louder mid-range. This effect can also be used for special effects, like simulating analog communications circuit sagging and more.

Reverb

The Reverb section features two simple, lush-sounding random-modulated hall reverbs with shared controls. One is placed before the FX BLEND, giving you a swath of unusual effects when used in conjunction with dry-wet morphing. The other is placed after the FX BLEND. For flexibility, you can use one reverb or both at the same time.

Delay

Living in the slot where other plug-ins might have a pre-delay parameter, WORMHOLE's Delay module can delay the effected signal, the dry signal, or both-and in opposing directions for the left and right channels. You can use the delay to create super-wide effects that are nonetheless fully balanced around the center of the sound stage. In combination with the pitch shifter's Detune modes and the FX Blend, you can achieve a variety of unique effects.

Meticulously Crafted

Staying true to the Zynaptiq style, they threw in an excellent formant shifter, a new take on a filterbank, release/reverb called Traces, HF through and unvoiced synthesis, an expander keyed on the plug-in input, as well as zero-latency operation for two of the modes. And most importantly, all of this was meticulously crafted to sound incredible, up-front, and dynamic, and to sit well in the mix.

Comprehensive

Going way beyond just offering the ultimate in vocoding, Zynaptic have loaded Orange Vocoder IV with features for workflows related to vocoding, like creating vocal tuning and layered harmonization effects, pads and drones, synth sounds, and harmonic support in a color bass style, so you can literally mix and match.

The Synth

Orange Vocoder IV features a 64-voice synth that comes with hundreds of presets and a preset generator that will create new sounds for you with a click on a button. The synth can be used as input to the vocoder, layered with other modules, or used on its own.

Mono- and polyphonic LFOs (audio-rate capable for the oscillators)

AD envelopes

Envelope followers and zero-crossing trackers

Velocity and a 4-destination macro control

Unison operation with up to 8 additional voices and DETUNE and CLUSTER modes

Mono Legato with glide

MIDI control and on-screen keyboard playing options

Pitch Quantization

Orange Vocoder IV features a pitch quantizer for forcing the input signal onto a specific pitch, which can be used in parallel with, or instead of, the vocoder. It has 5 modes: Quantize, Scale, Note, Enforce, and Polyforce, that provide flexibility and a wide range of sound options.

The Freezer

The Freezer module will freeze the audio coming in to the plug-in when you click its big snowflake button, sustaining the current timbre indefinitely. It is placed before the pitch quantizer module, so that you can play melodies with it. You can load and save freeze buffers, building a library of colors as you go.

The Dice

The Dice button in Orange Vocoder IV triggers a smart randomizer, which will load randomly selected but carefully designed settings into the synth, vocoder, and Freezer modules, giving you the inspirational infusion that a randomizer brings to the table, but creating useful results.
