01Overview

Prisma lets producers layer two sound sources and shape them into new instruments, drawing on curated content from over 100 UVI products and sound libraries. Each layer has its own amp, filter and effects controls, and a unified visual interface color-codes the layers for quick editing. The presets cover synths, drums, orchestra, world instruments and more, so the plugin can serve as a starting point or a full sound design tool.

Hybrid Sound Design With a Dual-Layer Engine

The core of Prisma is its dual-layer instrument engine. Each layer can draw on a different sound source, so you can pair an analog-style synth with a string section, a drum machine or a world instrument in a single patch.

Each layer includes its own amp, filter and effects controls. Morphing between layers and browsing presets and layers is designed to be fast, which helps when you are auditioning ideas.

The onboard effects include drive, reverb, delay and EQ, so a patch can be finished inside the instrument without a separate effects chain.

Performance Controls and MPE Support

Prisma provides 5 custom macros and deep modwheel integration, letting you control several parameters at once during a performance. The macros are useful for sweeping a whole patch or shaping transitions in real time.

The plugin supports MPE, so it can respond to expressive controllers that send per-note data such as pitch bend, pressure and slide.
