2B Played Music has announced the release of Attribute, a new creative audio plugin designed to transfer the musical characteristics of one sound to another.
By analysing rhythm, dynamics, tonal brightness and stereo movement from a reference recording, Attribute allows producers to introduce the expressive qualities of one performance into an entirely different audio source.
Unlike traditional modulation effects, Attribute uses the musical behaviour of a reference as the basis for its processing. For example, the expressive dynamics and tonal movement of a saxophone solo can be applied to a synthesizer, allowing the instrument to take on characteristics of the original performance while retaining its own sound.
The plugin features four independently adjustable processing dimensions: Rhythm, Dynamics, Timbre and Space. A visual Performance Map displays the analysed characteristics, while two independent reference slots allow users to combine different sources through Motion Morph.
Attribute supports imported audio references, 50 Factory Motions and two independent Live Sidechain inputs. Additional controls include Adaptive Motion, Transient Protect, Groove Align with DAW synchronization or independent BPM, Spectral Focus, and automatic output level compensation.
They say:
Attribute was developed around a simple idea: what if the musical expression of one instrument could be transferred to another?
A saxophone solo, for example, contains distinctive rhythmic accents, dynamic changes and tonal movement. Attribute analyses these characteristics and uses them to influence another sound, such as a synthesizer, while preserving its original identity.
Four independent controls, Rhythm, Dynamics, Timbre and Space, determine how the reference affects the audio. Users can import recordings, choose from 50 Factory Motions or connect two Live Sidechains. Motion Morph also makes it possible to combine the characteristics of two different references.
With Adaptive Motion, Transient Protect, Groove Align and Spectral Focus, producers can refine the transformation and control how the reference interacts with their sound.
Attribute offers a new approach to creative sound design, allowing the expression of an existing performance to become part of something entirely different.
