RAZOR VST REVIEW PLUS
Last but not least, the Effects page houses compressor, overdrive, reverb and delay modules, plus the rather novel Frequency Shaping module - a pair of graphically editable band-pass filters. It's as intuitive a system as we've ever seen, and with the modulation of each control visualised by an animated white marker, it's always easy to keep up with what's happening movement-wise.

The Filter is a simple resonant affair featuring Low-Pass, High-Pass and Notch types.įorm's many modulation sources - two envelopes, two LFOs, Sidechain (a multiplied or alternated blend of any two sources), Motion and Pitch Curves, four Macros, mod wheel, etc - are assigned by clicking the name of the target parameter (each of which can accept three sources) and selecting from the pop-up panel that appears. The Form Oscillator (hosting the sample) offers control of Amp (level), Pitch, Pan and Formant, while the bolstering Additive Oscillator (a sub oscillator tracking the Form Oscillator from two octaves below to ten octaves above) outputs a constantly variable waveform, sweepable from sine to soft square via soft saw.Ī variety of processing options for the Form Oscillator are on hand in the Oscillator FX section, comprising FM (using the Additive Oscillator as the FM source), waveshaping, stereo 'jitter', distortion and harmonic multiplication. The Sound page is where Form's two oscillators and filter are tweaked, and modulation is applied.
Activating the Pitch Curve button reveals an overlay showing the pitch progression of the sample, for reference purposes, although it's also available as a modulation source. The Sample Page shows the waveform of the loaded sample, and the range to be used as the Form Oscillator wave is marked out by dragging its two handles left and right. The Motion curve can also be used as a modulation source, interestingly. Using the Motion controls, even a very short sample can be turned into an endlessly extended sonic adventure with as much temporal variation as you can find the time to design. The Motion Curve can run forwards, backwards, or forwards then backwards, looped or one-shot, with a Legato mode for preventing retriggering with overlapping notes.
The level, stereo positioning and attack time of each segment are all editable, and the range of a segment's motion within the sample is constrained by dragging the top and bottom handles. Segments can be added, deleted, merged, split, copied and pasted, and are resized by dragging their left and right edges.
