David Farmer

SUPERVISING SOUND EDITOR / SOUND DESIGNER / RE-RECORDING MIXER

“Transformizer was a vital tool for generating lots of material ( ed. for Avengers – Infinity War.) I spent a couple of days, at least, just recording out take after take of interesting unique sounds.  These were used to make the Q-Ship, to spark energies, to traveling mystical sounds for the Infinity Stones and the gauntlet, as well as as lots of others.  I’d fire up Transformizer with a sound in mind, and a couple of hours later have a host of other cool sounds I didn’t expect to make.  What a great, fun, and useful tool to have!”

Mathias Savery

COMPOSER / PIANIST

“Transformizer is in a way a synthesizer, but instead of oscillators, you’ve got .wav files. 
The great thing about it, is the many parameters that can all be controlled in real time, just like a synth. It’s possible to conjure up unique sounds, that no one thought of before, and that no one’s ever heard. To come up with your own original sounds that haven’t been heard before, that’s essentially what you’re after as a composer.” 

Using his piano, synthesizer and computer, Mathias’ interest lies in the meeting between acoustic and electronic sounds. For him it’s about breaking rules and having fun.
Whether he makes intimate acoustic piano recordings, ambient analog synth works or an epic orchestral score, his music always inherits his own unique DNA. “If I only had two words to describe my music, I would say cinematic and emotional.”

Gregor Quendel

SOUND DESIGNER

“Transformizer is one of these rare plugins that don’t just have an exciting concept, but are also inspiring to use. The sound quality of all 4 algorithms is especially convincing, which makes it easy and enjoyable to come up with new, interesting and useful textures and sounds. It has become one of my go-to plugins for every new project as a starting point, because it performs very well as a creative sound design tool.”

Sound designer from Berlin, releasing sample libraries, for which he is always looking for new ways to explore, discover and create unique sounds.
