Eventide Fission Structural Effects Plug-In
Eventide has released the Fission plug-in, which features the new Structural Effects meth-
od for cleanly and completely separating the transient and tonal components of a sound
in a way that makes it practical to modify the individual components independently.
Eventide’s proprietary Structural Effects method makes use of frequency and time domain
sifting to, in effect, deconstruct a sound. Fission features multi-effects for the transient and
tonal sections enabling modifications from the subtle to the odd. A Focus control makes
it possible for Fission users to “guide” the separation. The ability to “solo” and mix the de-
constructed audio allows for forensic and subtle changes. For example, users can modify,
delay, or remove the transient plucks of a guitar part without affecting the tone; retune
a snare drum without touching the crisp transient; or modify, delay, or remove the tonal
component of a piano line for a more staccato sound.

Studio Technologies
Model 5401 Dante
Master Clock
Studio Technologies has released the
Model 5401 Dante master clock. The
Model 5401 provides precise timing
signals for applications that utilize Dante
Audio-over-Ethernet media networking
technology.
The unit implements a high-perfor-
mance IEEE 1588 precision time protocol
(PTP) server, compatible with the require-
ments of Dante and capable of simulta-
neously supporting the timing needs of
up to hundreds of Dante-compatible
devices. The Model 5401 provides the PTP
v1 compatibility required by Dante, as well
as supporting PTP v2 for AES67 applica-
tions. In addition, the unit generates up
to eight sine-wave audio tones on Dante
transmit (output) channels, useful during
audio network installation, maintenance,
and operation. A clock input connection
allows the Model 5401 to synchronize
with a variety of timing reference signals.
