01Overview

Transfigure is built for producers who want to change a track's sound rather than polish it. Sugar Bytes positions it as a sound design tool that can generate textures unrelated to the original audio, from subtle tweaks to glitchy results. A central XY pad lets you control several parameters at once, which suits live performance and evolving automation. The plugin ships in VST3, VST2, AU, AAX and Standalone formats for Windows and macOS, and a trial is available.

03In depth

Spectral and resynthesis engines for sound redesign

The spectral engine works in the frequency domain. You can isolate specific frequencies, freeze a sound in place, or delay individual frequency bands for evolving results. Most algorithms include detailed controls for adjusting particular frequency ranges.

The resynthesis engine analyzes the pitches in your input and generates new audio with its own internal sound engine. Results can stay close to the original or move far from it. Sugar Bytes includes a wide selection of standard and unique scales, and the developer notes that resynthesis works especially well with non-harmonic input such as drum loops.

Controls, modulation and the XY pad

Transfigure's central XY pad lets you adjust multiple parameters at the same time and record expressive automation. Every parameter in the generic effect slots is tied to the modulation section, so the XY pad can reach several targets in one gesture.

The two effect slots cover delay and reverb, a phaser, a filter with drive, and capture and looper effects. Together with the modulation system, they let you build a custom signature sound from a single plugin.
