2CAudio has released Kaleidoscope, a new Visual Sound Designer for Mac OS X and Windows in AU, VST and AAX plug-in formats.
Here's what they say:
"Five years ago we revolutionized the algorithmic reverb plug-in market with the release of Aether. In the years to follow we further established our legacy in spatial processing with the releases of Breeze and B2. To this day our reverbs remain among the best in the industry and are heard daily by millions of people around the world."
"We have said from day one that 2CAudio's focus is on spatial processing and advanced creative effects. Today we are ready to share with you the second half of that vision, and begin our journey to attempt to revolutionize the creative effects and sound-design market. Today we are proud to share with you Kaleidoscope."
Kaleidoscope is described as "the ultimate sound-design tool and creative effects toy". Technically speaking, Kaleidoscope is a massively parallel bank of physically modeled resonators that can be tuned completely arbitrarily with scientific precision and dynamically modulated over time by over two million points of automation. In simplistic terms, Kaleidoscope uses pictures to control sound.
Kaleidoscope is both an effects processor as well as a content generator, meaning that it is possible to synthesize completely new sounds without any input sound or MIDI performance data as well as to transform incoming audio signals in other-worldly manners. Music is organized sound. The organization occurs in two axes: time and frequency. Kaleidoscope is a tool that offers ultimate control over musical organization in both of these domains and adds a third axis of creative control we like to call spatial choreography. It is designed with one goal in mind: to inspire and invigorate composers, sound-designers, and artists to push the boundaries of what is possible in cutting edge sound-design.
Some of its most common applications are:
- Custom Sound Design for Film, Television, Games and Electronic Music.
- Scoring for Film, Television & Games.
- Special Effects Processing & Generation.
- Algorithmic Composition & Inspiration.
