Native Instruments Form v1.1.2.1 HYBRID [WiN, MacOSX]

TRANSFORMATIVE SAMPLE-TRACKING SYNTHESIZER
Discover a powerful new form of expressive sound design. Expand your sonic versatility – create anything from evolving soundscapes and textured pads to earth-shaking basses and searing digital noise. Generate original results quickly and easily with an intuitive interface, or dig deep for detailed tweaking

► A NEW FORM

Extend sound creation beyond traditional synthesis, and transform samples into anything you can imagine. Intriguing and playful, FORM offers a refreshing approach to sound creation that delivers beautifully organic and powerful results.

► START WITH A SAMPLE

Start creating something new – just drag and drop a sample into the FORM interface. Using a sample as the primary oscillator for the synth engine, FORM lets you craft complex new sounds rapidly. Scrub the sample to discover new worlds within its waveform, then select the section you want to manipulate.

► CREATE MOVEMENT

Breathe life into samples and enhance the sense of realism by generating movement from even the most static starting points. Choose the direction and behavior of sample playback, and set playback rates according to sample length, frequency, or BPM. For in-depth manipulation, carve up and modify the amplitude curve, applying presets or using the Curve Editor to redraw segments.

Native Instruments has released Form 1.1, a significant update to this distinctive sample-scanning synthesizer. Free for existing users, Form 1.1 adds a number of new performance and editing features and expands the content library significantly.

Form is a powerful synthesizer that uses samples to create entirely new synthetic textures. It combines easy-to-use functionality and highly usable presets with creative performance features.
Form 1.1 includes over 200 new presets and corresponding samples ? taking the total to over 400. The new presets all include multiple Performance slot variations, and the NI Sound Design team has also added variations for most of the existing preset library. Many of the new presets and variations take advantage of the new features in the update. Updated, the library reinforces Form's versatility for all contemporary electronic styles, covering Leads, Bass, Keys, Pads, Hybrid Instruments, SFX, Soundscapes, and Sequences.

Form 1.1 introduces a number of new features, such as 'Center' and 'Width' controls to modulate scan range, allowing even easier control of sample playback and more consistent results. A new page of motion curve presets helps create distinctive choppy-style sample edits. Manual scan control allows complete hands on control of sample-playback. Volume faders for sound variations in 'Perform' section avoid jarring volume jumps when swapping Performance snapshots. The ability to copy / paste parameters from one Performance slot to another makes creating new variations far easier. Compact View places key performance controls in one simple interface, ideal for live play. All parameters can now be automated, making it simple to catch inspired live tweaks. Finally, there are new controller pages for Komplete kontrol S-Series keyboards and all versions of Maschine, allowing even deeper integration with Native Instruments hardware.
