Access Atomizer: It May Be In Beta, But It's Already DJ Puzzle's Alpha-Toy
Access Atomizer is all loaded into DJ Puzzle's Virus TI, and in this video he gives the new application a quick test drive. He's only had it for a short time, but Puzz is already thinking of a thousand and one uses for the Atomizer.
This video examines the Atomizer's beat sync, sample, stutter, granulated tones and reverse loop functions. It sounds pretty awesome and looks like a whole lot of fun. Wouldn't you like to be a Puzzle, too?
JASON DONNELLY: Jason Donnelly with Gearwire.Com and the Access Atomizer. Ah yes: The Access Atomizer in action. What I was doing there was grabbing a sample from the source audio, and what it's doing is trimming it into such a small slice and tuning that slice and looping it. It feels like almost a granular synthesis, grabbing a sample on the fly from the source audio and then I can play a melody using that little slice over the tune.

It's also grabbing a slice here real time and then looping it at different increments. So here you can hear on the E it just grabbed a loop and I'm looing it right now. It's a quarter note loop. Now here's the source audio. Watch this: [JASON PLAYS LOOP FROM ATOMIZER] totally grabbing the loop and looping it right there on the fly; a quarter note loop. Here's the source audio [SOURCE AUDIO PLAYS ON]. This is a kind of a crossfader here. This allows you to toggle between the sample processed sound and the unprocessed signal. Let's start that song over again. These songs are always mine. This is another one [JASON PLAYS ANOTHER TRACK]. This is a Jason Donnelly special. Let's use something [JASON REVERTS TO PREVIOUS TRACK].
So once again, Jason Donnelly here with Gearwire.Com and we're looking at the Access Atomizer. It's in beta right now. Of course, I've had a little time with it today, very little time; makes me no expert but definitely getting the feel for it. I can grab a loop here and a quarter note and then loop the quarter note [JASON PLAYS ALONG]. Now, I don't really know this song but this is a small looping grabbed from the song. It sounds like a totally different song like remixing on the fly here. Now I can grab on it. This is a different increment here. This would be probably either half notes or probably 16ths. Hold on. Yep, this would be the quarter, one-two. I see, and here's our reverse. Okay [JASON CONTINUES TO PLAY THE ACCESS ATOMIZER]. Oh wow; that's pretty neat. So there's a reverse on the D key. Oh, DJs can definitely use this, creating a buildup here [JASON GOES UP THE KEYBOARD], then if I play it higher [JASON PRESSES THEN RELEASES NOTE OCTAVE HIGHER], wow! Pretty cool. So stay tuned.
