Digidesign Plug-in: D-Fi

D-Fi

Analog and Retro Processing in the Digital Domain.  Digidesign's D-Fi is a family of four unique Plug-Ins (Lo-Fi, Sci-Fi, Recti-Fi, and Vari-Fi) providing tools for creative sound design in the TDM, RTAS, and AudioSuite environments. Lo-Fi provides bit-reduction for retro sound processing without the expense of retro equipment. Sci-Fi adds analog synth-type ring modulation, frequency modulation, and variable frequency resonators. Recti-Fi provides super- and sub-harmonic synthesis, and Vari-Fi allows processing of disk files to create the effect of audio changing speed to or from a complete stop.
