Transitions are supremely important in many contemporary electronic music styles, so why not create an instrument that's dedicated to helping you create better ones?
That's what AIR Music Technology reckons it's produced with The Riser, which features three editable sound generators - sweep, noise and chord - that enable you to "manipulate the movement, timbre, and tonality of the transition".
There are also three LFOS that can be used to modulate the 300 presets (you can also create your own transitions from scratch) plus a Pumper effect that modifies the dynamics.
"We understand the science behind the suspense and emotion that a great transition delivers," claims Ben Wendelstein, AIR Music Tech Product Manager, "Until now, recreating the transition in your head has been a convoluted, manual process. The Riser puts intuitive soundshaping tools right where you need them so you can design effects that keep the listener on the edge of their seat."
A 15-day trial version of The Riser is currently available from the Air Music Technology website, though this will be removed tomorrow. The full version will be available to buy on 1 September priced at $79.99.
