A Gesture contains timeline information, too, determining how parameter modulation is scaled to fit the grid and when a Gesture begins and ends. The effects are applied using what Izotope call Gestures, which are made up of one or more effects modules (Stutter Gestures) or a noise generator (Generator Gestures), and are each tied to a single MIDI note. What's more, everything is automatically sync'ed to the host tempo, making flawless transitions, fills and breakdowns a breeze. It works by constantly sampling the incoming audio and storing it in a buffer, so that it can be used for repeating short loops or slices, among other things. Stutter Edit is an effects plug‑in that can manipulate an audio source in a variety of ways. Enter Stutter Edit, which has been co‑developed with trance producer BT (see the 'Trigger Finger' box). Izotope have given the world plenty of top‑notch signal processing tools over the years, including Ozone 4, RX2, Nectar and Trash, but they haven't before released anything designed for use in a live environment. Izotope have teamed up with electronic composer BT to bring us an effects processor that can be 'played' in real time.
