ABOUT ATOMIZER

Reversing Audio

Pushing the D1 key plays the buffered audio backwards. Please note that after reversing the audio buffer it

might not be in sync with the playback anymore.

GatingAudio

Atomizer features a sophisticated implementation of a “DJ Kill EQ” - style audio gater effect. Hit C#1 to gate

all incoming audio and the modwheel to narrow the range of the gater effect. This way you can limit the gate

to for instance the bass frequencies of the playback. D#2 does exactly the same as D#1 does. If you hit D#2

while holding D#1 you temporarily release the gater key which is fun when performing stutter effects.

Atomizing audio

Press and hold the A1 key on your keyboard (the next ‘A’ up from the tempo key) - you should hear the in-

coming audio being swapped with a pretty quick loop which, assuming you tapped the tempo in 1/4 notes,

will actually be looping every 1/16th note. Let the note go, and you will immediately it switch back to the

original incoming audio.

Now spend a little time playing any of the keys from E1 and up. You will notice that from C2 and up, the

loops are no longer recognisable in the time domain, and are instead perceivable by pitch. The loop lengths

have in fact been tuned to the standard note pitches you would expect on a keyboard, which means you

can play melodies along with the incoming audio.
