The Transform sound begins as an 8 hz pulse repeated five times for 0.7 seconds each repeat whose pitch can be represented by the absolute value of a declining sine wave, with each zero-to-zero arc of the wave representing one of five cycles of the repetition. The actual value of the sine wave can be modified by factor N which is multiplied into the X value but divided into the Y value, which means that although the actual pitch is largely indefinite, in analog terms when the transform pitch is higher the length of each pulse is shorter, and conversely when the pitch is lower the length of each pulse is longer." Other fans have noted that the sound generally increases in pitch when changing to robot mode and gets lower when changing to their alt-mode.

Thanks! nice theory basis, sorta see how it works.
Right, how can I get this idea onto my track? Any particular VSTs that can be of help (preferably freeware as im a tight git)? Any more tips that I can use with the method stated?
Ive sorta got an idea for glitching-up the sample wether thatd sound pukka or not. Ill jus have to see.......

Whatever. You should wrap that in a quote tag if you're going to yank it off some other site.producer_snafu wrote:factor N which is multiplied into the X value but divided into the Y

As for VSTs, try Roboticize.
Time-stretch also has a similar effect, if you stretch it far enough.

That site is badass. Got quite a few VSTs from there and can't wait to try them out.

Sorry if this sounds dumb but how do you apply this in practise?
