Available to buy now in all major formats for PC and Mac, Fission is an advanced plugin effect for next-level signal dissection, surgical mixing and creative sound-mangling. It’s the first effect to use Eventide’s proprietary Structural Effects technology – a groundbreaking and exciting new algorithm that can split a signal into its Transient and Tonal components for independent processing of each.
Fission is incredibly simple to use: load it over any audio signal, separate a signal into its constituent transient and body elements, then process each component with independent effects, before recombining the signal at the output – all the while maintaining complete phase coherence at every stage.
This next-level approach opens up a whole new universe of processing possibilities, from precise drum tuning, frequency shaping and dynamics sculpting through to cinematic sound design, esoteric weirdness and beyond.
In this four-part video series, Computer Music explores Fission’s corrective and creative applications, taking you through all of its features: from basic signal dividing and workflow shortcuts, through to general-purpose mixing scenarios, and some of the insane sonic transformations you can achieve.
