What's new in Fusion?
Fusion is the next evolution of Rhythmizer, fusing game-changing features with the classic Rhythmizer functionality:
✅ Poly Arpeggiator: You asked for arpeggiation, so we put on our dreaming hats and created something revolutionary. Beyond basic arpeggio functions, we've built a complete harmonic playground:
- The Fusion Fader lets you blend seamlessly between arpeggiation and chord triggers
- Chance control determines how often your tonic appears versus other notes
- Extend intelligently grows your chords beyond your input
- Fine-tune your sound with detailed chord controls for interval spread and polyphonic complexity
✅ Enhanced Step Sequencer: Paint custom rhythms with new note modes and variable probabilities. Force base grooves or input notes with Shift+Click and Alt+Click for precise rhythmic control.
✅ Glitch Engine: Add controlled chaos to your patterns. At lower intensities, the engine locks to the grid for tight, rhythmic glitches. Crank it up for wild, experimental textures.
✅ Quality of Life Updates:
- Improved keyboard latch functionality
- Arpeggiation as a modulation source
- Fresh preset library
- Various bug fixes and optimizations
What happens to my Rhythmizer Ultra license?
Your Ultra license remains active for life! While Ultra will no longer be available to new customers, existing Ultra users can continue to download and use it from their customer portal. We're even rolling out a bug-fix update for Ultra users. Think of Fusion as Ultra's evolved form, taking its legacy to new heights.
Are there tutorials available?
Absolutely! We've got tutorials ready to go, with more coming throughout 2024 and 2025. Check out our YouTube channel for regular content drops.
Will there be a Max for Live version?
Yes! We're working on bringing Fusion to Max for Live. Stay tuned for updates.
What about Pro Tools support?
Pro Tools (AAX) support is a major priority. We focused on getting Fusion perfect for the majority of DAW users first, but we haven't forgotten about our Pro Tools friends!
I'm using Rhythmizer 2.1. Can I upgrade?
We're working on an upgrade path for 2.1 users. We'll announce this soon!
Will Fusion be included in the 2024 Black Friday sale?
No, Fusion won't be part of the 2024 Black Friday promotions. The current Ultra user upgrade offer is the best value way to get your hands on Fusion.
Fusion represents everything we dreamed Rhythmizer could become.
- a tool that pushes the boundaries of what's possible with MIDI. From transforming simple chord progressions into evolving cosmic journeys, to painting intricate rhythms with surgical precision, every feature has been crafted to expand your creative horizons.
We can't wait to hear what you create with it.
