You can route these mod sources to all the usual destinations (including pitch, pan and amplitude), as well as to filter cut-off and resonance.Įverything that should sync to the host tempo does so, ensuring that your rhythmic machinations automatically lock to your song's bpm. This means you have a phenomenal range of modulation possibilities. 20/20 visionĪlso onboard are a staggering 20 LFOs and 20 multi-stage envelope generators. In addition to the insert effects, you can send each layer (or Element) to an aux effect.

After these comes a dedicated multi-effects processor with another resonant filter and an LFO. You can spit the samples through a multimode filter, a bit-reduction processor and a fully parametric 3-band EQ. It offers the ability to stack four stereo sample sets, each of which has a complete array of advanced synthesis functions. While the included samples certainly pass muster on their own, Dimension Pro only really comes to life when said samples are pumped through its vast synthesis architecture.

You also get a nice bonus in the shape of Gary Garritan's Pocket Orchestra. Guitars and basses abound, and there's a good selection of keyboard instruments. They cover all of the sonic categories one might expect to see in a general purpose ROMpler - there are drum kits galore, ethnic and orchestral instruments and loads of synthesizer waveforms. The samples are stored as SFZ files, a format we first saw used in rgc: audio's SFZ SoundFont player. Cakewalk are shipping Dimension Pro with a whopping 7GB of samples (these are spread across a pair of DVDs).
