FXDesigner from SpinAudio is the first VST/DX plug-in to be ported to the Chameleon platform. It is a delay-based digital audio effects processor with a flexible signal processing design that allows to produce such audio effects as chorus, flanger, phaser, spatial effects, various reverbs and any combination of above. FXDesigner offers six modulated delay lines with LP/HP filter sections, six freely assignable LFOs and flexible tap interconnection matrix. The plug-in is perfectly suited for any experimental electronic music production. FXDesigner comes with a factory bank of 70+ ready-to-use presets.
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 software developers to use how they please. End-users load applications via MIDI and the Chameleon instantly becomes a completely different tool. The uniting of the Chameleon 'blank canvas' DSP hardware with speciality software leads the way to a new trend in the audio software industry, led by Soundart and SpinAudio. Watch this space.
SpinAudio develop innovative, highly optimized DSP processing applications and supplementary tools for all digital audio production work, from music creation to multimedia and film/video post-production. Their VST and DX plug-ins for delay effects, Virtual Room Acoustics Modelling, 3D Positional Audio are well respected and their technology is used by the likes of Mackie.
