SoniqWare releases T3 (Time To Trigger) - Universal Trigger Engine

SoniqWare has released T3 (Time To Trigger), a stereo MIDI trigger engine that listens to incoming audio, detects new events, and sends MIDI notes with appropriate dynamics and pan to control a drum sampler or any other synthesizer, all this live or in the studio.

With T3, you will be able to:

• Perform drum replacement.
• Enhance a drum or instrument sound by doubling it with a synthesizer.
• Trigger a synthesizer using any sound from instruments, voice, or others.

Features:

• Fast and accurate detection engine.
• Pinpoint frequency band used for detection using low-pass and high-pass filters.
• Control both detection sensitivity and detection loudness threshold.
• Adjustable guard to avoid faulty double triggering.
• Percussive trigger mode, to be used for instance for drum replacement.
• Sustained trigger mode, where sustained sound generate sustained MIDI notes.
• MIDI channel, program, and note control.
• Continuously adjustable dynamics curve, linear and non-linear.
• Velocity and pan captured from the input signal.
• Velocity tracking in sustained mode: expressive changes in the loudness will generate appropriate MIDI expression messages.
• Pan tracking in sustained mode: a left-right panned input audio will generate a left-right panned MIDI note.
• Graphical display: signal loudness and internal detection signal.
