"I used it in ISAM for a range of things from sound processing to sound synthesis. I’m still very much a student of the language and learning more all the time. It’s by no means the only thing I use, but it’s been getting more and more frequent as time goes on.

One way I’ve been using it is to make playable instruments from field and foley recordings. An audio source is analyzed into its spectral properties using the TAU editor, then assigned various morphing, pitch and timbre properties that react to MIDI CC events. Again, I have a video of some early experiments with this on my website."

In an interview with Steinberg, Amon Tobin says, "I've played DJ sets with a variety of things from straight up vinyl to Serato and even Traktor."

“That was a combination of using noise reduction and EQ,” Tobin explains. “Some noise-reduction plug-ins [such as Sonic Foundry's DirectX, which has a Keep Residual feature] allow you to look at the dirt you're taking off a track; I just took that garbled noise from the drum track and ran it through the GRM Tools EQ plug-in, which seems to add a harmonic content when you adjust the different faders. I was left with this really metallic, liquid-y plastic type of sound; I mixed that with the original drum sound and balanced it out so that the drums have this strange sheen to them.”
