Reviews

It’s hard to find any alternatives.

The structural split alone is one of the most exciting new sound design tools to emerge in recent years, and the future is bright as Eventide continues to add new features, effects, and possibilities. It’s hard to find any alternatives other than their own Structural Effect line. You know it’s serious when you’re in a lane of your own.

Physion Mk II allows even more in-depth surgery than classical dynamic processing.

This innovative tool allows engineers to separate a sound out into its transient and tonal portions. While simple re-balancing of transient and tonal portions can be effected, the updated Physion Mk II allows even more in-depth surgery than classical dynamic processing by offering a number of effects treatments as well. These can be applied differently to transient and tonal portions offering powerful sound design possibilities.

I’m busy exploring it all.

Way too much to fit in here and I’m busy exploring it all. So go download a trial and put it on guitars, vocals…pretty much anything! Easily control both the transient and tonal output levels of any sound source in your mix using Eventide’s new Physion Mk II.

Truly spellbinding.

Physion Mk II’s effects are truly spellbinding. You can turn a guitar part into pad with just a couple of clicks, then add even more ambient flavour by soloing the tonal channel and muting the transients.

A real step up.

In short, Physion Mk II is a real step up from its predecessor, and given my penchant for incorporating ambient elements in my own compositions I can see it getting a lot of use.
