Crystallizer

Product Introduction 产品介绍​

Crystallizer is an otherworldly creative effect that transforms instruments using a combination of pitch shifting and reversed echo.
Based on the Eventide H3000’s innovative “Reverse Shift” algorithm,
Crystallizer brings granular echo slicing, old-school pitch shifting and powerful new features together into one inspiring tool.
If you listened to the radio in the late 80s, you’ve heard the Crystal Echoes effect from the Eventide H3000 effects processor.​

The sound is absolutely unmistakable, and has been used on countless records to transform simple chords into epic soundscapes.
Once musicians and engineers got their hands on this unique technique,
and realized how it instantly turned minimal guitar lines into shimmering symphonic textures, there was no going back.
You can hear it on hundreds of records—from 80s anthems, to ambient compositions, to modern indie rock and chillwave.
And now you can have it, too.​

Getting the Glitch Right
Because Soundtoys’ founders actually designed algorithms for the original H3000,
you can be sure we didn’t rest until we’d recreated its icy tones flawlessly.
One of the key elements of the Crystallizer sound is its old school pitch shifting.
Modern pitch shifters (like our own Little AlterBoy for example) use sophisticated mathematical algorithms to transform music and vocals as naturally as possible.
The original old school devices (like Eventide’s classic H910 Harmonizer) used a simpler resample and crossfade technique that introduced audible artifacts in the pitch-shifted audio.
This retro technique adds a glitchy character to the sound that is an essential part of Crystallizer’s 80s-futuristic charm.​

准确还原扭曲效果
由于 Soundtoys 的创始人亲自参与了原始 H3000 的算法设计，
所以可以放心，我们在重新创造其完美的冰冷音色的过程中从未停歇过。
Crystallizer 音色的一个关键要素是它的经典音高变换。
现代的音高变换器（比如我们自家的 Little AlterBoy）使用复杂的数学算法，尽可能地自然地改变音乐和人声。
原始的经典设备（比如 Eventide 的经典 H910 Harmonizer）使用了一种更简单的重采样和交叉淡入淡出技术，在音高变换后引入了可听见的音频失真。
这种复古技术为声音增添了一种扭曲的特质，是 Crystallizer 音色的 80 年代未来魅力的必要组成部分。

Upping the Ante
Once we nailed the sound of the original effect, we didn’t stop there. We put our heads together to improve it.
We added MIDI sync and automation to give you precise creative control.
A built-in Gate and Duck feature adds a new level of dynamic control over triggering echos, helping you keep this sometimes wild effect in check.
You can also shape the sound with low- and high-cut filters to create bright shimmery blooms or dark, rich beds of sound.
In short, we’ve brought a classic effect up to date with all the convenience and tweakability of a Soundtoys plug-in.​
