What it does
  • Eight families: risers, downlifters, swooshes, impacts, sub drops, pitch FX, reverses and zaps
  • Layered noise, tone, sub and reverse sources, shaped by 9 drawn curves
  • Tempo-synced length that stays on the grid
  • LAND ON GRID: fire it late and it still lands on the bar line, with an impact on arrival
  • A 3D swoosh ribbon shows the shape of the sweep before you fire it
  • SIMPLE face with LENGTH, RISE/FALL, TEXTURE and SIZE macros; EXPERT shows every layer and curve
