D-Fi
is a family of four unique Plug-Ins (Lo-Fi, Sci-Fi, Recti-Fi
and Vari-Fi) providing tools for creative sound design
in the TDM, RTAS and AudioSuite environments of Pro Tools
and Pro Tools LE software.
While
Lo-Fi provides bit-reduction for retro sound processing
without the expense of retro equipment, Sci-Fi adds
analog synth-type ring modulation, frequency modulation,
and variable frequency resonators. Recti-Fi provides
super- and sub-harmonic synthesis, and Vari-Fi allows
processing of disk files to create the effect of audio
changing speed to or from a complete stop.
Pro
Tools offers extremely high quality signal paths with
extremely low distortion and noise artifacts. The D-Fi
Plug-Ins boldly challenge this convention in the name
of creativity. Lo-Fi diminishes the audio quality through
bit-rate reduction, and pure unadulterated noise and
distortion. Sci-Fi contorts the audio signals through
ring modulators and resonators. Recti-Fi warps the signal
through waveform rectification. Vari-Fi (AudioSuite-only)
simulates tape or turntables starting-up or slowing-down
while playing back audio.
