Physion is the first plug-in to use our ground-breaking Structural Effects technology - A new method for processing audio. With Physion, you can split a sound into its transient and tonal parts, independently manipulate them using Eventide's world-class effects and then fuse them back together. With the ability to add effects and dynamic controls to the transient and tonal sections, you can produce a wide range of effects, from the subtle to the extreme.
 Sound DesignPhysion is a versatile tool for sound designers. Splitting and manipulating audio allows you to create and explore sounds never heard before. Remove transients from pianos or guitars to create bowed sounds, or go even further by adding extreme effects to the independent channels. |
 Drum TuningPhysion allows you to easily re-tune a drum without affecting the transient. Delay the cracking transient of a rimshot while leaving the tonal ring as-is. Solo out the transients to tighten up a sound and add some compression to tighten further. |
 ArticulationPhysion’s structural split can be used to modify vocals in subtle or drastic ways. Emphasize or reduce sibilance, add or remove resonance, or turn robust vocals into whispers. |
 Transient ShapingPhysion is not a traditional transient shaper - it’s a transient separator. It goes beyond what has been possible by allowing you to surgically tune the transient and tonal response independently. |
 Audio RestorationRemove unwanted tonal ring and hiss, or just reduce it with compression/expansion. Beef up the transients from old instrumental recordings to improve presence in a mix without squashing the life out of the tonal material. |
 Loop ManglingUse various instances of Physion to morph and transform your loops using independent tonal and transient delays. |

Controlling how sound sources enter and leave the picture is key to getting great mixes, and, as an example, I can imagine new ways to tailor the decay a and attack of a kick drum at several different frequencies.

...with the new Fission [Physion] plug-in, Eventide continues its quest to push the boundaries of sonic manipulation... MusicTech

It’s like no other effects processor on the market, and it offers enormous creative possibilities... Any source can be manipulated and tweaked in ways that were not possible before.

Fission [Physion] is a monster. You can create delayed pick hits with phased undertones, reverbed plucks with dry-pitched tonal drones, slow bowed-sounding piano notes with tremolo wobble... and the list goes on and on.

Fission’s [Physion] structural split functionality is an innovation not typically available in an effects plug-in. It rewards experimentation in more esoteric scenarios, but also works nicely for repairing audio.

This next-level approach opens up a whole new universe of processing possibilities, from precise drum tuning, frequency shaping and dynamics sculpting through to cinematic sound design, esoteric weirdness and beyond.

Fission [Physion] is the perfect tool to use when you are seeking to apply a more detailed approach to your engineering... It’s an idea that no other company to our knowledge has attempted, and Eventide has executed their idea resulting in the perfect plugin for this case.

Apart from opening a new frontier in plug-ins, its strength is that it encourages an approach that blurs the line between practical and creative sound design applications. Resident Advisor

I had excellent results using Fission [Physion] for transient balancing on bass, and I was able to remedy a track in such a way that I’ve only been able to partially achieve elsewhere.

5 Stars. It’s so clever that it begs the question: why no one has done this before?... Fission [Physion] is a remarkable plug-in, capable of pulling out tricks that were otherwise very hard to achieve, heavily favouring creativity and experimentation

This isn’t your run of the mill transient shaper, this is something very unique indeed... It’s a new way of affecting audio and I like that.

Despite its initial apparent similarity to traditional transient shapers, Eventide has come up with something very new and different with Fission [Physion] creative sound design and audio mangling.

Eventide wants to change how you think about processing audio... So you could separate the pitched, resonant components of a tom and separate it from the hit, or take fret noise out of a guitar sound, or mangle new sounds entirely. CDM

Eventide Fission [Physion] is a seriously great sounding plug-in that stimulates experimentation otherwise not possible. I highly recommend giving it a spin. And kudos to Eventide for really imaginative and creative plug-in development. Logic Pro Expert

The separation of the incoming audio into transients and tonal parts of the signal, leading to parallel multi-effects, introduces a new level of sound design like no other plug-in can deliver.
