Phrazor's concept follows a completely new outstanding approach. It combines traditional elements with unique features for rapid productions and livesets. It's compact and exceedingly flexible all the same.
Feels like a Hardware Rack
Phrazor has 64 tracks, each providing up to 8 plugin-slots which can be routed in a semi-modular way. You can set up and use a new rack with a few mouse clicks. Phrazor supports VST instrument, effect, midi and it's own native plugins. Furthermore Phrazor itself can be loaded into any VST compatible host.
Reuse everything
Every single piece of your work can be reused in other projects with one mouse click. You can setup your own instrument or effect racks and simply drag them on the mixer. Or build up your personal clip library and drag sequences directly on the pianoroll.
ombine your Instruments
Instruments and effects can be routed in a semi-modular way. You can create multi-instuments using keyboard-splits or you may want to build up a reusable effect-rack library. The complete state of each track can be stored and recalled via MIDI.
Advanced Patch-Mechanism
Plugins are stored in so called slots. This meta-format is much stronger than the traditional VST presets. You can create programs for VST plugins which do not provide a presetlist at all. No need for opening the plugin-editor to change the sound!
Additionaly you can assign 8 control sliders and 128 MIDI-CC's to certain parameters. Assign once and reuse ...
Sequencer aboard
Furthermore Phrazor provides a full-featured sequencer, perfectly synchronized to your host - if you're working with the VST version. MIDI editing in Phrazor is outstanding - based on the experience of the supporting community. The features include shuffle/random algorithms, a dedicated drumgrid-editor and a comfortable clip-based arpeggiator.
All in one Interface
The workflow-concept of Phrazor has been designed to keep everyday's work easy and fast. All important elements are placed in one window. Drag 'n drop allows you loading and organizing of objects on the fly. Context menus provide a quick access to all functions and the filesystem.
Quick access
The integrated customizable browser and manager will help you to find sounds, tracks and clips in seconds. You can categorize everything the way you want. The high-level file formats allow you to easily transfer any kind of object from one computer or host to another. Even if the VST plugins are in a different directory - Phrazor will find them...
Get on the Stage!
Phrazor has been designed as an instrument! Clips can be played live in different modes: Poly, Legato and Arpeggio. You can mix the playlist with remote clips to perform a controlled liveset... or just for fun!
Each track contains up to 128 states including plugin settings, mixer states, clip and groove settings. Furthermore you can store and recall complete machines state via MIDI... get phrazorized
