Phrazer - 2.0.1

Introducing Phrazer, the BitHeadz solution for loop-based composition and arranging. Phrazer combines multitrack audio playback with automatic pitch and tempo mapping, providing a powerful solution for mixing and matching audio loops and phrases on the fly. Phrazer is designed for layering different loops in real-time. Users can import standard digital audio files, ACID™ files from Sonic Foundry's ACID software, or Unity DS-1 samples from the BitHeadz Unity DS-1 Digital Sampler. Phrazer automatically pitch shifts and time stretches audio material, so complex arrangements can be created in minutes without having to worry about matching tempos or key. Audio can be played back from RAM or from the hard disk, and volume and panning automation can be assigned per track along with multiple DSP effects for attaining the perfect mix.

Phrazer also offers unique performance oriented features. Different tracks can be triggered from the computer keyboard, or from a MIDI keyboard, enabling the user to start and stop phrases with their MIDI setup. A sample editor is provided for fine tuning audio files and loop points, and support for external MIDI sync is included for remote control. Phrazer will also provide an additional mix window that displays tracks vertically, similar to a mixing console. Once a mix has been perfected, Phrazer can high-speed render it's output as a disk file for use with other applications.
