Digidesign launches Synchronic RTAS plug-in, an Audio Manipulation Tool

It smells good!
Does anybody already tried it?

Yeah, I've tried Synchronic and I'm seriously considering buying it. It allows you to do some very creative shit. It's design leans a little heavily toward DJ/Remix applications for my taste, but it could be used for all kinds of loops in different styles of music. The interface is clean and simple, but it will take a little study and experimentation to get the hang of it. One thing to remember about the modules is that they're LFO driven; the shapes and rates play a big part in the cool FX and transitions you can make with this plug.

So far I'd say Synchronic kicks ass.

I don't see the point in this plugin. it's too expensive. Sure the LFO stuff is great for quick access within protools, but I still think you can achieve this effect by exporting the samples to Reason or by using Pluggos (cheaper). And you're better off buying Live4 and do better more insane things with it, and either by rewiring or importing the freaked audio to protools. Now if Synchronic was less than $99, then I'll consider buying it!
