Based on 70 presets exclusively designed for MIKRO PRISM, even first time users can achieve great results instantly. Thanks to the clear and easy control-set, no synth knowledge is required to further tweak your sound, although the possibilities are immense. All parameters are instantly accessible through automatable macro controls, including two synchronized internal modulation circuits.

Creating new sounds with MIKRO PRISM is even more fun using the powerful preset morphing feature of REAKTOR or the free REAKTOR 5 PLAYER: Simply select two presets ("snapshots"), and use the morph fader to seamlessly morph between the two sounds.

Sonic Charge µTonic (pronounced "MicroTonic") is a VST / AU plug-in for Windows and Mac featuring a unique drum and percussion synthesizer combined with a pattern based drum-machine engine.

You can use µTonic as a sound module to play drum sounds from your MIDI keyboard or sequencer, or you can use the built-in pattern engine to play drum patterns in sync with your sequencer. The sound of µTonic is 100% synthetic and rendered in real-time. No samples or pre-rendered waveforms are used.

Following the release of Auto-Tune 7 Native versions, Auto-Tune 7 TDM brings the latest incarnation of the world's largest-selling audio plug-in to Avid's Pro Tools HD platform on both Macintosh and PC. Featuring the second generation of Antares' Evo Voice Processing Technology, a new-from-the-ground-up time manipulation system, new MIDI capabilities in Graphical Mode, and lots more, Auto-Tune 7 represents the most dramatic advancement in functionality since Auto-Tune's original introduction in 1997.
As a bonus, Auto-Tune 7 TDM also includes a license for all of the Auto-Tune 7 Native versions.
