Group Humanizer – Add Life to Your Tracks
From the creator:
“Two or more tracks can be “group humanized” so that their timing resembles musicians playing in the same room together. For example, a bass and a drum sequence will adapt to each others delays in a “humanized” way.”
This group of devices can add life to any electronic composition.
