About this product

Lift Off solves one of the most common challenges in electronic music: building tension. Turn one knob for an instant build-up on any audio in your mix, or dive into Advanced mode to design your own risers from synths or samples.

Features

  • One Knob mode: a full build-up from a single knob, with presets from subtle to dangerous
  • Synth mode: risers with pitch bends up to +60 semitones and pitch LFO modulation
  • Sampler mode: turn any sample, like a vocal chop, a hit or a texture, into an accelerating riser
  • Works on any audio: use it on an audio track, a drum group or your master bus, with reverb, echo and filters
  • MIDI triggering: start risers from MIDI notes, or automate them in your DAW
  • Tempo-synced: synth and sampler build-ups lock to your project's BPM, from 1 to 32 bars or a custom length up to 64
  • Drawable curves: shape the pitch and volume of the rise with your mouse
  • Drag-and-drop export: drag a finished synth or sampler riser straight into your project as audio
