Perform Your Sound Effects Libraries in Real Time

Reformer Pro can use any live signal or recorded audio file as input. Using the X-Y pad as a central controller you can blend between libraries. Get unique results each time by moving between Reformer Pro’s ‘four voices’.

Using and Creating Sound Libraries for Reformer Pro

Reformer Pro uses an input audio signal to perform your sound libraries. Libraries are a crucial Concept to Reformer Pro that can be loaded from a side panel. Any library can be loaded into any one of Reformer Pro’s ‘four voices’. You can create your own libraries for Reformer Pro using our own analysis tool.

Different libraries can be loaded into different voices to create complex sound design instruments. Each of these voices can be handled in slightly different ways using voice controls. For instance, you can use different playback speeds or response times to alter the sound, depending on the library and input sound, these will have different effects.

“Reformer gives any audio designer the ability to be a one-person Foley team.”
