via brian c:"Tasssman is a sound construction set where you model sounds and then compile the instrument - its quite fun. Version 4 is latest rev. It can be standalone or a VST or Mac plugin. I got roped into it via an Ableton users discount of 45% - good thru July 31. I'm an easy mark for Abeton marketing I guess
The intriguing part to me was the physical modeling part, kind of like my old Technics WSA1 only better cause it is more expandable
Attached is a simple demo of one simple preset for a bass , it starts out with an ultra simple SCI TOM loop, then Tassman bass line and then joined by the old trusty DSI evolver - quick and fun

Plenty of better samples than mine there too.
'The Tassman is a tightly integrated environment comprising three interfaces: the Player, the Builder and the Browser. With the Tassman Player you are ready to play any of the synths included in the library. The automatically generated Player interface is inspired by classic analog hardware making it easy to tweak any of the existing factory presets to create and save your own custom sounds.'"
They also do a cross-grade for owners of Reaktor. All you do is enter your serial number for Reaktor and you get the cross-grade price, which I believe is $199.
ReplyDeleteThis is how I bought it last summer. I haven't used it nearly enough, but it does sound good and, like Reaktor, it allows you to create effects too.
I tried tassman for a while and i do agree that it has a good sound.But when I tried VAZ modular I never used tassman again. It has the same completly modular setup as tassman , but to me VAZ gave many more options.My favorite is the granular oscillator, all 3 of the filters sound excellent as well.The peaople that made tassman also made the new "analog" synth in ableton 7 hence the discount for ableton users( i assume).Please check out VAZ modular here- www.software-technology.com
