What GRIP does
Instead of triggering prerecorded loops, GRIP produces wheel and chassis sounds dynamically from its source recordings, which total over 650 MB. Five base vehicle types are offered, and the speed, grip, chassis intensity and perspective parameters can be automated for every sound. Suspension impacts are triggered with a simple tap, and an onboard mixer lets each individual sound be balanced and automated. The plugin is supplied as VST2, AU and AAX for Windows and macOS (64-bit), needs about 8 GB of RAM, and activation uses iLok.
Key features
- Five base vehicle types. The instrument starts from five base vehicle types, and each one sets the character of the tire and chassis sound that the other controls then shape.
- Automatable parameters. Speed, grip, chassis intensity and perspective can each be automated, so the sound changes over the length of a scene.
- Dynamic perspectives. The view can be switched between interior and outside, with the angle and distance of the listening position adjusted.
- Suspension impact trigger. Suspension impacts are played with a simple tap, without a separate sampler setup.
- Onboard mixer. The mixer balances the individual sounds and carries their automation, so each layer can be raised or lowered over time.
- No manual sample editing. Cutting, crossfading and pitch alignment of samples are handled by the plugin rather than by hand.
Compatibility
GRIP is supplied as VST2, AU and AAX for Windows and macOS (64-bit), with minimum OS macOS 10.13 and Windows 8, and native Apple Silicon support is listed. Activation uses iLok, and the plugin needs 8 GB of RAM.
