Krotos develops innovative technologies that fundamentally advance the art of sound design. Featured in blockbusters like Avengers: Age of Ultron, The Jungle Book, Far Cry 4 and Doom, Krotos’ Dehumaniser has wowed Hollywood and the video game industry by making it possible for actors to perform otherworldly creature voices. Dehumaniser Live, the middleware plugin for interactive media, made its debut at the 2017 Sundance Film Festival in The Life of Us, a VR experience from Within. Reformer, Krotos’ latest innovation, makes it possible for sound designers to perform a library of sound effects with their voice or any other audio input. Paula Fairfield, sound designer on Game of Thrones called Reformer “insanely awesome”.

"Dehumaniser is an incredible tool for creating unique and varied vocal sound design treatments. From animal to alien effects, it is simple to use and easily tailored. The batch function is a real timesaver for processing an entire performance efficiently. I couldn’t have created the voice of Ultron without it!"
- Lora Hirschberg, Oscar-winning Re-Recording Mixer -Avengers:Age of Ultron, Inception, Lord of the Rings

"Reformer is an entirely new way of approaching sound design - incredibly advanced technology that allows you to instantly focus on the sound you want to create, rather than spending most of your time worrying about the practicalities of sourcing and editing individual assets."
- Matthew Smith, Former Audio Director of Rockstar North - GTA V, Max Payne 3, L.A. Noire, Red Dead Redemption
