Pro Tools Gets a Beat Transfusion
Hi Folks. Digidesign has announced a new virtual instrument that looks totally cool… Transfuser. It’s a “real-time loop, phrase, and groove creation workstation” and looks like an awesome tool for working on electronic, dance, and hiphop music. Digi’s got a free trial download of it with 200MB of sounds available now (the full product will have over 2GB of sounds/loops).
There are a couple of demo videos on Digi’s site… check them out here:
From the looks of it, Transfuser might be really easy to integrate into some of the M-audio MIDI instruments, such as the Axiom line, Trigger Finger, and even the Xponent with Torq because of its ability to map effects to knobs and samples to pads. As I’m on vacation at the moment, I have yet to download and play with it, but if any of you do, please feel free to post your comments here to this blog. I’d certainly be curious here what you think. And if you have some suggestions on things to fix, I can pass those along to Digidesign too. 
The Transfuser VI is great. Although I just wanted to correct the statement about the full product having over 2GB of sounds/loops.
Digidesign stated it would be more than the demo’s 200MB of sounds/loops, closer to 2GB, but the actual amount of sounds/loops included with the full product is only 1.6GB. 7 times more than available with the demo (rather than 9).
So they rounded it off to 2GB.
