Eventide has released Physion MkII, a multi-effects plug-in using the company’s Structural Split technology that allows a sound to be split into its transient and tonal parts and these components independently manipulated with Eventide effects and fuse them back together.
Building on its legacy of groundbreaking effects, Eventide has hand-tuned each Physion MkII effect for transient or tonal material, and included new effects like Polyphonic Pitch Shifting based on new SIFT (Spectral Instantaneous Frequency Tracking) technology. It also features new Reverse delay with Gating, Ping- pong, and Crystals modes, as well as sidechain inputs for dynamics effects. The seven transient effects available are Delay, Tap Delay, Dynamics, Phaser, Reverb, Gate + EQ and Reverse Delay. Eight tonal effects can be applied to a source: Delay, Dynamics, Pitch, Chorus, Reverb, Tremolo, EQ and Reverse Delay. The transient/tonal split of a sound can be fine-tuned with four Physion MkII Structural Split controls.
Physion MkII’s factory library contains more than 500 presets, organised into easy-to-navigate categories. An engineer or artist looking for a little colour, a quick fix, some extra spaciousness or a deep transformation can quickly find a wide range of options. Structural Split techniques also allow soloed or rebalanced tonal and transient channel effects like tightening up drums by dropping the tonal section or turning a guitar into an ambient sweep by muting the transients. A/B Comparison and Undo/Redo features allow easy exploration of sounds without losing track of the original source.
New features:
- Polyphonic Pitch Shifting based on SIFT (Spectral Instantaneous Frequency Tracking).
- Reverse Delays with Gating, Ping-pong and Crystals modes.
- Side Chain input for dynamics processors.
- Filters, taken directly from SplitEQ.
- Resizable GUI with scrolling waveform display.
Physion MkII is available for Mac and PC in VST, AAX and AU formats.
