EVENTIDE REVERSE SHIFT
The Missing Program
In the studio, I use an Eventide H3000 D/SX. It contains a program that I could not find again in Eventide's H3000 Factory plugin: Program 104, Reverse Shift.
Reverse Shift combines pitch shifting, delay and reverse playback. The unit records a short audio segment, then plays that segment backwards while the next segment is being captured. The result is a moving, spacious effect that sits somewhere between a reverse delay, a granular texture and a very unusual reverb. I wanted this sound in my plug-in rig when I am away from the studio, so GOZE REVERSE SHIFT was built from measurements of the original hardware and from the stereo behaviour of my own setup.
MACKIE 1202
A studio story
I have an old Mackie 1202 in the studio. I bought it when Mackie released it
in Japan and, ever since, it has followed me everywhere. It is the kind of console that becomes a working companion: you learn its knobs, its headroom, and the way it responds under yourfingers and in your ears.
GOZE 1202 is my model of that presence. The plug-in keeps the idea of a compact, direct and musical channel strip, with an input stage inspired by Airwindows MackEQ, followed by an equalizer section and the calibration tools needed for a progressive, usable saturation.
Instruments
POLY SYNTH
My idea was not to build yet another virtual analog synthesizer. I wanted a synth on my Mac that could read my Korg Prologue programs and let me keep playing with familiar studio sounds when I am travelling or working elsewhere.
GOZE POLY is not a 100% reproduction of the Prologue. Some settings are translated approximately and some features are not reproduced. In the comparisons I have made with my own programs, however, the texture feels very familiar and the sounds come very close.
DRUM BOX
Over the years, I have collected hundreds of drum samples. I use many different drum machines in my work, but getting my own sounds into them is not always straightforward. Some do not load my samples; others make a simple task feel unnecessarily complicated.
What I need is simple: a sample, pitch, a filter, volume and pan, with fast access to my folders and a clear view of the waveform. So I decided to create my own drum box - an instrument built around the sounds I already own.
GOZE DRUM BOX keeps that workflow direct. Choose a sound, shape it and play it. Write the rhythm in your DAW or perform it from a MIDI controller.
Racks
Goze Rack
One click. Your whole chain.
Stop switching between plug-in windows. GOZE RACK brings your favourite processors together in one view, so you can adjust your EQ, compressor and effects side by side. Save your chains and recall them whenever inspiration strikes.
One click. Three plug-ins on screen. Stay focused on your sound.
Super Synth
Four instruments. One sound.
Bring your favourite synths together in one instrument. Layer up to four synths to create one super synth sound, blend them with a simple mixer, then shape the result through two shared effects. Open any synth to fine-tune its sound and save the whole setup for instant recall.
Your synths. Your blend. One place to create.
