Cameleon 5000

Product Information

Cameleon 5000 VST plugin - (PC Only)

Version: full version 1.7

Cameleon 5000 is an additive synth, featuring resynthesis and sound morphing, which excels at pads and evolving textures and comes with a library of over 800 presets. At its heart is the morph square which allows you to morph between four different instruments at once. You can also use the morph timeline to create rhythmic loops, evolving soundscapes and pads. Uniquely, Cameleon comes with a range of preset morph timelines, to make creating new sounds even easier.

Cameleon can import sampled sounds (WAV/AIFF) into any of the four voice slots, or you can choose from the extensive range of built-in voices. Cameleon has many unique features: it breaks sounds down into both a harmonic and noise component, for much higher quality and greater flexibility. No other additive synth is able to perform multi-sampling resynthesis. Cameleon's realistic and expressive sounds are unparalleled.

Cameleon also allows you to import image (BMP) files and turn them into sounds. This provides an extremely powerful way to design never-heard-before sounds. If you're ever stuck for inspiration, just try loading up any picture - perhaps a photo of your mum!

Once you've imported a sound you can edit it in ways which would be impossible with a conventional sampler. You have independent control over each of the harmonics, so you can (for example) boost all the odd harmonics - or even draw your own harmonic spectra!

Every part of Cameleon's interface has been designed with ease of use in mind; the 'Easy' page is just one example. On the Easy page you'll find simple but powerful controls to quickly shape the sound, including changing the balance of harmonics and noise, adding LFOs, or editing the amplitude envelope. You can also use the unique 'stretch' parameter to time-stretch sounds in real-time without the loss in quality associated with sampled instruments.

Cameleon has a comprehensive set of effects, including a sweepable formant filter, distortion, compression, chorus, delay and reverb. Cameleon is supplied with over 800 presets, all arranged into categories (pads, leads, basses, and so on). If you're after instant inspiration, just select the type of sound you require (eg. rhythmics) and hit the random button to get an entirely new random rhythmic loop! Cameleon also comes with a well-written manual.
