Digital Performer Effects Plug-ins

This veritable cornucopia of audio software plugins was designed over the course of several years and part of several software releases for Digital Performer. They include guitar effects simulations, equalization, and modulation tools. These graphic user interfaces were created alongside the software engineer team and were often designed with inspiration from real-world audio gear.

This veritable cornucopia of audio software plugins was designed over the course of several years and part of several software releases for Digital Performer. They include a variety of audio tools such as equalization, a synthesizer, a phase tool, a suite of guitar effects such as amplifier simulation and effects pedals, and even an instrument tuner. These were all designed in concert with the software engineer team who took inspiration from real-world audio gear. The engineers would choose a particular project, code it and would then need a graphical user interface to display controls, labels, and readouts. Each plugin was carefully designed for both function and aesthetics. A few of which were heavily-inspired by particular pieces of hardware such as guitar effects pedals or amplifiers. Others were totally new creations and necessitated a little more consideration to the way users will interact with its features.

Tools used in this project included Photoshop, Illustrator and 3D modeling and rendering software.
