Creative Sound Design with Reformer Pro by Krotos

Plugin Alliance recently approached me to ask if I would like to try out one of Krotos’s newest plugins, the Reformer Pro.  As a big fan of Dehumanizer by Krotos, which we previously blogged about using to create alien vocals, I quickly agreed.  

Not able to wait until I had time to install the plugin and really dive in, I took a few minutes between clients at work and checked out the Krotos website to see what Reformer had to offer.  What I found was this description:

SpecOps: The Ultimate Spectral Processor

When Plugin Alliance asked me to try out Unfiltered Audio's newest plugin, SpecOps, before it was released to the public, I was excited.  I love having the opportunity to try out new sound design tools and maybe even give valuable feedback to the maker pre-release.  

So, I began, as I always do, by reading the manual.  You may prefer to watch a YouTube user video, or read a blog post (hopefully, like this one!), but I’ve always been a manual gal.  I love to know every last detail about how to use a new piece of software before I try it out.

Well, this manual’s first sentence is “SpecOps is the ultimate spectral processor.”  

Bold statement, right?  I was a bit skeptical.  I like my manuals to be fact-based, and this seemed like a pretty hyped up opinion.  But, after digging into it, I can honestly say that it stands up to the hype.  It is the ultimate!

Fault by Unfiltered Audio: Using a Spectral Shifter for Sound Design

Unfiltered Audio’s newest plugin, Fault, has just been released, and it comes with high expectations.  Plugin Alliance’s website (where you can download a full functional 14-day trial version or purchase the plugin outright) boasts Fault as a “new kind of effect,” a “pitch/mod tool [that] soothes the savage sound,” and the creator of “spectral modulation mayhem.”  But what do those catchy phrases really mean? I dug into the new plugin to find out.
