Clear Complex has announced Transistor, a new slicer/sampler plug-in to create fills from drum parts or to recreate loops or entire mixes and apply various effects to modulate the sound. Transistor has 7 effects with 9 controllers each with 4 patterns and 4 sub-patterns. All in sync with the host and in real-time. You have total control over which MIDI-note to assign to trigger a sub-pattern. You can hold notes for returning later for each effect separately.
Transistor is designed to be inspirational in the studio and great for live-performers. You will get complex results with clear controls.
