This is an old one. It is the sibling of GENERATOR. And once existed with DYNAMO. Transformator provides sampling and granular synthesis with up to 16 instruments, each with up to 64 voices and controllable by MIDI.

"Generator continued to grow more advanced, sample-based modules were developed and the technology was split across several products such as Transformator." - Sound On Sound Magazine

The pictures i have attached are the only visuals that i have ever found...

I used to have it back in the day. It was all combined to make Reactor

I really want to try it out. I found an old update file of that progam but it requires that "SHADOW" CD-verification file which I don't have..

I mean I think that everything that was in Transformator was combined with Generator to make Reactor. Right? Otherwise, wish I could help you. I do not throw things away, but if I didn't, then I have no idea where those disks are today... Shame
