Plug-In Models Human Performance

Wide Blue Sound has released Humanizer Pro, a plug-in that they say offers state-of-the-art modeling of human performance. A spokesperson told us, "Humanizer Pro is a MIDI Effect that adds the human timing and velocity imperfections that make music feel alive." Here's more details in the company's own words...

MIDI can be precise, and perfectly lifeless. Even if you play-in a part, it gets stale when looped over and over. It's ignorable. Where's the natural variation that keeps listeners engaged for an entire song?

Humanizer Pro thinks like a musician. Real performers have an internal clock that's beautifully imperfect. Intentionally, musicians push ahead for drive, or lay back for soul (Humanizer's Pocket knob).

Unintentionally, the psychological drifts around the pocket create a push and pull of their own. A tension-and-release that, even in small amounts, is a constant source of anticipation and closure (Drift knob).

Then there's the physical errors and natural velocity imperfections from the act of playing – striking percussion, picking strings, pressing keys (Error and Velocity knobs).

Humanizer Pro is the first tool to capture all of this human magic. It's the difference between MIDI and music.
