Flux Ircam Trax (Digital product)

A suite of three ingenious processors using pioneering technology developed during the last decades by the sound analysis/synthesis team at IRCAM, with innovative signal transformation algorithms for altering sound characteristics such as; pitch, spectral timbre and duration to manipulate properties of a voice such as gender, age and breath.
TRAX Transformer v3 is based on an augmented phase vocoder technology and a cutting edge transformation algorithm, allowing for manipulating characteristic properties of a voice such as gender, age and breath, and on any other sound; expression, formant and pitch.
With the Spectral Envelope complex remapping of the actual spectrum envelope, according to a freely definable curve, can be performed.
Target, provide a range of options for the transformation of the source material. In voice mode, a range of vocal types/ranges are available, and on top of that, parameters such as gender, age and breath can be used as well. For all types of material, pitch, expression and formant are provided as well.
Up to eight channels of simultaneous processing for multichannel surround configuration is provided. The processing can be disengaged on any of the channels leaving the material unprocessed, bypassing the original sound. When operating on a multi-channel bus all, up to eight in total, channels are processed by default, though the processing can be disengaged for any number of channels leaving the material unprocessed and bypassing the original sound. By doing this in combination with serial instances the material on any number of channels can be processed with individual settings.
TRAX Cross Synthesis v3 utilizes a phase vocoder (the amplitude and the frequency/phase spectra), to morph the spectral characteristics of two sounds. The amplitude and frequency/phase spectra can be blended continuously and since the features that are used here are strongly nonlinear, the sound morphing is nonlinear as well, offering a way to create a wide range of new exciting and unusual sound effects.
