FORM: How to shape sounds


FORM Audio Demos

Spoiler: More info:

A NEW FORM
Extend sound creation beyond traditional synthesis, and transform samples into anything you can imagine. Intriguing and playful, FORM offers a refreshing approach to sound creation that delivers beautifully organic and powerful results.
Effects add polish and depth – notice the two-band frequency shaper.


Load a sample – from your own collection or the included library.

Once loaded, scan through your sample.

In Multi mode, you can layer different sounds as performance presets (see bottom right).

Create complex movement patterns using multiple curves and shapes.

Draw on a large number of curve presets.

Make drastic sonic changes with just a few adjustments.

Modulate everything easily. Plus modulation sidechaining!

Effects add polish and depth – notice the two-band frequency shaper.


Load a sample – from your own collection or the included library.

START WITH A SAMPLE
Start creating something new – just drag and drop a sample into the FORM interface. Using a sample as the primary oscillator for the synth engine, FORM lets you craft complex new sounds rapidly. Scrub the sample to discover new worlds within its waveform, then select the section you want to manipulate.

CREATE MOVEMENT
Breathe life into samples and enhance the sense of realism by generating movement from even the most static starting points. Choose the direction and behavior of sample playback, and set playback rates according to sample length, frequency, or BPM. For in-depth manipulation, carve up and modify the amplitude curve, applying presets or using the Curve Editor to redraw segments.

CRAFT YOUR SOUND THROUGH SYNTHESIS

FORM OSCILLATOR
Use the Sound section to sculpt your sound at its source. Control pitch and formants independently from playback speed. Use an additive oscillator to enhance harmonic content. Further sculpt the sound in the OSC FX section, where you can deform the wave, add frequency modulation (FM), and more.

MODULATION AND FILTER
Tap into a flexible, easy-to-use, and powerful modulation framework that encourages experimentation. Just click a parameter, select a modulation source, and assign. Comprehensive modulation controls allow both pinpoint control and playful experimentation.

PERFORMANCE
Save multiple snapshots of sound parameters as performance presets, which you can apply to any sample. Quickly explore variations on your sound when you load a new sample. Choose Multi mode to simultaneously play multiple snapshots across instrument voices, creating evolving, shifting sounds.
POLISH WITH EFFECTS
Enhance the color of your sound and add polish in the effects section. Use frequency shaping to slice your sound into two frequency bands and then control them independently. Warm up the sound with digital or analog saturation. Give it some punch with dynamics. Then place your unique creation in a 3D space with delay and reverb. Modulate any effects to create complex, shifting textures.

Yeah I would buy this immediatly if I wasn't that scared of f*cking up my system because of the Service Center stuff/crap.

 

You think thats bad, take a look at the new version. Its called native access and it wants you to be online all the time, no more offline use.

I was all set to upgrade to komplete 11 before i found out about this new sneaky shit of theirs. So no more NI stuff for me, fuck em.

Hi there. I just posted a new review for Form by NI on my website, feel free to check it: Native Instruments From Review

 

this synth is complete shit . sorry

 

NI has completely overplayed its own bullshit rehashing the same shit year after year . These new products run thru reaktor which is just old at this point . Listen to Softube Modular the difference will blow your mind. Cost is way less . Free your computer from the bullshit that is Native Instruments not to mention the complete and utter intrusions they make on your personal data.

 

this synth simply just don't deliver. For the guy who said it would buy this immediately, i'm sorry for your money.
