Krotos Reformer Pro
Sound Design Plugin
Reformer Pro is a unique ‘sound design instrument’, that transforms pre-recorded audio files into performable sound effect libraries in real-time via a microphone, input audio file, or MIDI controller.
Interact with sound like never before: perform your Foley, Animal, Sci-Fi, or Impact SFX instantly and intuitively within your DAW, saving you hours of editing and easily capturing subtle movement and nuance that elevate your project to another level.
Grab a mic and record a quick vocal recording in sync with a scene, and replace it instantly with cloth foley or surface textures instead of trawling through your existing library. Feed existing assets into Reformer Pro to add texture or variation without ever leaving your session.
Analyze your own recordings with our standalone Analysis Tool, revitalizing your existing library into new forms at high speed.
Our award-winning, patented technology introduces inspirational new ways to maximize your own sound library and design workflow.
Reformer Pro ships with our fantastic Krotos Bundle, that’s over 2.5 GB of high-fidelity sounds waiting for you at start-up. Libraries include Bengal Tiger, Black Leopard, Electronic, Leather Foley, our Fruit & Veg Collection, Gun Foley, Polystyrene, and Sizzle.
