Features<\/h4>\n
SoundToys Crystallizer is an otherworldly creative effect that transforms instruments using a combination of pitch shifting and reversed echo. Based on the Eventide H3000\u2019s innovative \u201cReverse Shift\u201d algorithm, Crystallizer brings granular echo slicing, old-school pitch shifting and powerful new features together into one inspiring tool.<\/p>\n
If you listened to the radio in the late 80s, you\u2019ve 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\u2014from 80s anthems, to ambient compositions, to modern indie rock and chillwave. And now you can have it, too.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Getting the Glitch Right<\/b><\/strong><\/p>\n
Because Soundtoys\u2019 founders actually designed algorithms for the original H3000, you can be sure they didn\u2019t rest until they had recreated its icy tones flawlessly. One of the key elements of the Crystallizer sound is its old school pitch shifting. Modern pitch shifters (like SoundToys Little AlterBoy for example) use sophisticated mathematical algorithms to transform music and vocals as naturally as possible. The original old school devices (like Eventide\u2019s 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\u2019s 80s-futuristic charm.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n<\/p>\n
Upping the Ante<\/b><\/strong><\/p>\n
Once SoundToys nailed the sound of the original effect, they didn\u2019t stop there. They put their heads together to improve it. They 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\u2019ve brought a classic effect up to date with all the convenience and tweakability of a Soundtoys plug-in.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Instant Inspiration<\/b><\/strong><\/p>\n
Does \u201cgranular echo synthesizer\u201d sound a bit hard to get your head around? Don\u2019t worry. SoundToys included over 200 ready-made presets that you can explore, organized into categories that make finding the perfect starting point for your tracks simple. They\u2019ve included everything from the subtle to the all out psychedelic, so don\u2019t be afraid to experiment! When you\u2019re ready to go deeper, you\u2019ll find plenty of tweakability and control for making your own signature presets.<\/p>\n
