August 6, 2003Soundart has
announced a major update to one of the flagship soundskins for the
Chameleon platform, a fully re-programmable DSP-based
rack-unit.
With Chromasonic loaded, the Chameleon becomes a multi-
effects processor for use at the heart of the studio or live rig. It boasts
flexible routing and a host of industry standard
features and effects.
Chromasonics features now include:
- Three simultaneous audio effects, comprising:
- Two-tap Delay
- 5 band Parametric Equaliser
- Compressor
- Limiter
- Noise Gate
- Tremolo
- Chorus
- Flanger
- Phaser
- Reverb
- Autopanner
- WahWah (manual, envelope, LFO with tempo sync)
- 4-voice Pitch Shifter
- Tempo Sync (external MIDI or internal with auto detect) for all time- based effects, with tap-tempo control
- Enhanced saving and storing mechanism with reset / compare / name copy functions
- Assignable front-panel Realtime controllers for performance control of almost any internal parameter: 9 per preset (3 sets of 3) with two operating modes (catch or free). Realtime Controllers can send MIDI controller data for effortless recording of parameter changes.
- Master Volume, Input level and global wet/dry mix always controllable from the realtime controllers for instant access
- Assignable Expression controller to almost any effect parameter
- Input, Output and Gain Reduction signal meters (for Dynamics FX types only)
- Multiple, flexible routing configurations between the effects series, parallel, dual mono configurations - creating endless permutations
- 128 user presets with factory bank of 64 widely varied examples ready for use
- Comprehensive MIDI automation and bulk dumps
Chromasonic 1.1 is available now as a free download for Chameleon users on
the SoundArt web site.
The Chameleon houses in a 1U rack the same powerful Motorola DSP processing
power as found in many top-name brands of audio hardware, along with
2x24bit I/O A/D D/A converters and MIDI I/O. Low-level Soundart code
allows it to effectively function as a "blank canvas" for talented
developers to use how they please. End-users load soundskins like
Chromasonic via MIDI and the Chameleon instantly becomes a completely
different tool.
