Introducing ZAP - The Zynaptiq Audio Processors Bundle

We're thrilled to announce the immediate availability of ZAP – The Zynaptiq Audio Processors Bundle. The bundle contains our recently released UNCHIRP Codec Artifact Removal & Transient Retrieval plug-in, as well as our award-winning UNVEIL reverb removal, UNFILTER adaptive equalization and PITCHMAP real-time polyphonic pitch processing plug-ins. Users that have purchased one or more of the contained plug-ins before August 25th, 2014, can upgrade to ZAP at the difference in list price. 

UNCHIRP is a plug-in for removing artifacts caused by lossy audio encoding and other FFT based processes, such as spectral de-noising. The plug-in can reduce Musical Noise, suppress high frequency Chirping (also known as Underwater Sound, Warbling or The Tweeties), fix Transient Smearing, and restore lost high frequencies, simultaneously and in real-time.

•  Suppression of Musical Noise and high frequency Chirping artifacts.
•  Transient Synthesis to augment or replace smeared, over-limited or otherwise compromised transients.
 
• Psycho-Acoustically optimized Treble Boost circuit with Enhance and Excite modes.
•  Frequency-dependent control of all key parameters.
 
• SYNC parameter allows processing to be synchronized to signal transients for increasing clarity. 

 UNVEIL is a plug-in that uses a real-time de-mixing algorithm to attenuate or boost reverb in mixed recordings of any channel count and sample rate. It can also reduce or increase masking effects, bringing the key features of a recording into focus, or moving them to the background. UNVEIL is recognized across the industry for its excellent sonic characteristics and its artifact free operation. 

•  Attenuates or boosts reverb in a mixed recording.
 
• Leaves signal phase and dynamics untouched.
 
• Enhances clarity by attenuating masking effects.
 
• Supports channel counts from mono to 7.1.
 
• Transient bypass circuit for natural results even with extreme settings

 UNFILTER is an adaptive EQ that can correct even the most complex frequency response issues virtually automatically. It thus allows dynamically removing filtering effects like comb-filtering, resonance, roll-offs, or unwanted equalization. It can also apply a detected filter response to another signal, or export it to disk as an impulse response file (WAV), and can perform mastering grade adaptive, free-form, and graphic equalization. UNFILTER makes time-consuming and often impossible equalization tasks as effortless as adjusting one control.

•  Automatic detection and removal of resonances, equalization, roll-offs and comb-filtering from recordings.
 
• Export of filter responses to or import from linear- or minimum-phase impulse response files (WAV).
 
• Application of measured filter responses to other signals.
 
• Mastering grade adaptive, free-form and graphic equalization plus 96dB/oct HPF.
 
• Quite possibly the most precise and fastest-to-use corrective EQ available today. 

 PITCHMAP is a plug-in for changing harmonies and melodies within mixed music, samples or loops, in real-time. Target scales can be defined by playing them via MIDI or using the UI, and polyphonic tuning correction as well as creative sound manipulation options are also provided. Based on Zynaptiqʼs proprietary MAP (Mixed-Signal Audio Processing) de-mixing technology, PITCHMAP has many applications, including original music production, remix work, correction of tuning issues and creative manipulation of existing recordings.

•  Changes harmonies and melodies in mixed audio using De-mixing (aka Source Separation) technology.
 
• MIDI control for playing target scales/melodies in real-time.
 
• Polyphonic pitch correction.
 
• Suppression of mix elements based on their fundamental pitch.
 
• Parameters for introducing unique synthetic coloration. 

 The ZAP Bundle plug-ins come as AudioUnits, RTAS, AAX Native and VST for both Mac and Windows operating systems. Free trial versions of the plug-ins are available from the product pages.

 ZAP is available now and has an MSRP of USD 1099 / EUR 999 (Euro price incl. 19% VAT).
