Introducing New HotSawz Synth Algorithm for Eventide's H9


Published on Nov 6, 2018 Eventide Audio


"Transform your instrument into a massive synth with HotSawz, a pitch-tracking, monophonic synth engine for your H9. With six stackable sawtooth oscillators, three modulation sources, and four assignable destinations, HotSawz allows you to create a wide palette of sounds that run the gamut from classic synthwave to a pulsing panorama of bouncing blips, brassy swells, and sub-bass swagger.

The modulation sources include LFO, Envelope Follower, and ADS Gate, while the four assignable destinations are comprised of Filter Cutoff, Volume, Pitch and Oscillator Depth. Each modulation source can be assigned to any of these destinations at a given time. Thus, multiple sources can manipulate the same destination. In fact, there are 64 combinations of source to destination assignments, providing a vast landscape for serious experimentation For example, scope your favorite sci-fi thriller sounds from Blade Runner to Stranger Things, and create 8-bit video game blips, screaming 70s saw leads and undulating bass odysseys on individual tracks.

Too spicy? Dial it back with the global Mix function and maintain some of your original tone. Not spicy enough? Transpose the oscillators up and/or down by one octave for that thick, analog synth sound. Create your own recipe for sonic satisfaction by sprinkling on a bit of HotSawz to excite your auditory taste buds!"

New Electro-Harmonix Mod Rex Polyrhythmic Modulator


Published on Sep 18, 2018 EHX


"The MOD REX is a kinetic tour-de-force that lets you weave compelling, shifting, musical tapestries. Whether you are a guitarist, synthesist or electronic musician you will find it inspires your creativity and stretches your musical boundaries.

Learn more: http://www.ehx.com/products/mod-rex

FOUR INDEPENDENT MODULATION SECTIONS:
The heart of the pedal are its four, independent modulation sections synced in time, they are:

MOD features great sounding EHX Vibrato, Flanger, Chorus or Phaser. The Depth knob lets you set the amount of the effect while Feedback controls the resonance of the Flanger and Phaser.

TREM delivers tremolo, an effect that modulates the volume of your signal. The Depth control sets tremolo intensity.

PAN modulates between left and right in stereo operation. In mono operation the PAN section acts as another tremolo section, but with the wave shapes all inverted!

FILTER offers a choice of a modulated LPF, HPF or BPF. In LPF (low pass filter) frequencies above a modulated cutoff point are cut. In HPF (high pass filter) frequencies below a modulated cutoff point are cut, and in BPF (band pass filter) frequencies above and below a modulated center point are cut.

Each section also features a choice of four LFO shape options: rising sawtooth, triangle, falling sawtooth or square wave. They affect the way the modulation transitions and provide advanced creative control over the specific section as well as the way they interact with each other.

Introduction to U-he Colour Copy


Published on Sep 7, 2018 uheplugins

"In this video, Ronan Macdonald introduces Colour Copy and gives an overview of its features and functionality.

Colour Copy is a virtual analog effect inspired by classic bucket-brigade delays (BBD), but extended with modern features. We called our new baby "Colour Copy" because it can deliver the kind of colouration people still love in classic BBD units, but with a wider variety of colours. Colour Copy started life as the little delay unit called "Lyrebird" we built into Repro-1, but the sound was too good not to be developed further and become an fx plug-in.

Colour Copy info and demo: http://u-he.com/colourcopy"



bbd-style analog delay, for the smoothest possible pitch effects

unique colour morphing, with saturation for non-linear effects such as distortion / resonance

1ms to 1s or host-synched time base, scaled via rate control from 25% to 400%

dynamic ducking via envelope follower, with an option that preserves the initial delay

lfo (with dynamic frequency and depth) can modulate rate, tap position or amplitude.

midi note tracking and Freeze button (infinite loop) for wildest experimental effects

powerful preset browser with tag and/or text search functions

independent input and feedback routing options allow all possible stereo or mono combinations

100 factory presets, nks-compatible

ui instantly resizable from 70% to 200%

Seymour Duncan FOOZ Analog Fuzz Synthesizer Pedal


Published on Aug 26, 2018 Seymour Duncan

"To learn more and enter for a chance to win a FREE FOOZ click here!
http://www.seymourduncan.net/fooz

Many guitar pedals can make your guitar sound like a synth, but few capture the tactile feeling and interactivity of using one. Real analog synths use different blocks (oscillator, filter, LFO, envelope) that work together to create unique new sounds and textures. Combining these tools in one box and allowing them to interact with each other is the spirit of the FOOZ."


"We have amazing engineers here in the Seymour Duncan Research Lab. And, like all great engineers, they love to tweak, tinker, and push the boundaries beyond the realm of what’s possible. Wayne brings his deep knowledge of analog circuits from the days of working on the Mars Rover (for real!) and Kevin has been designing circuits since before he could walk. And, now they’ve designed FOOZ...

Designed to synthesize the ultimate fuzz tone."

Dwarfcraft Reese LIghtning (Reese bass demo w/Elektron analog keys, octatrack)


Published on Jul 26, 2018 theonetrueaen

"Finally, I get to show you what this thing was made for.
Yeah, most of our customers will use it on guitar or bass, but it's called Reese Lightning because it's made to tear up your synth, too.

Featuring pretty much my first octatrack project, too."


via Dwarfcraft:

"At Dwarfcraft, we do not fear the storm, we do not run from it. We are the storm. First came the Eau Claire Thunder, and then the Baby Thunder. Perhaps you only heard distant rumblings, but now you can see the Reese Lightning on the horizon.

It’s versatile, it’s compact, and it will wreck whatever you point it at. Reese picks up where the Thunder left off. It’s brighter and dirtier. The Timewarp toggle connects/disconnects a clipping diode for some octave-up artifacts to scratch your psych itch. Toneblast bypasses the tone control, for EVEN MORE volume and more timbral changes. The Feedback switch and knob are especially savage and enjoyable, practically begging you to let your freak flag fly.

We’ve also implemented some of the most common customer requests. This bad boy has true bypass soft switching, top-mounted jacks, and for the bass players, a clean blend.

The name 'Reese Lightning' comes from the age old synthesis technique called “Reese Bass.” So you better believe it’ll sound cool on your keytar or your theremin."

Cimmerian Caves V2 - Echo/Chorus/Vibrato + Fuzz DEMO


Published on Jul 9, 2018 Artificial Noise



Cimmerian Caves V2
Echo/Vibrato/Chorus + Fuzz

"Dark, warbly and tape-like. Dense modulating echo's. Thick, woolly tube-like distortion. Definitely NOT one of those sterile clean delays, but warm and full of character.

When the poet Homer talked of Cimmeria, he called it the land of fog and darkness at the edge of Hades. Artificial Noise took those words as inspiration for the original Cimmerian Cave effects unit and now the Cimmerian Caves is back! Streamlined and with subtle but important circuit improvements, the Cimmerian Caves V2 gives you the same warm, warbly echo, chorus, vibrato and fuzz as the original but with a more affordable price and a more compact design.

Consisting of a tape-like Echo unit (approx. 925ms max delay time) which, depending on the setting can also be used as Vibrato or Chorus. Along with the Echo effect there is also a thick and woolly Fuzz/distortion. Highly tweak-able with 8 knobs, Cimmerian Caves is a hybrid of analog and digital circuitry. Utilizing a digital delay to get a nice long echo (nearly one full second), with the remaining circuitry all analog, including the Low-Pass filters, modulations and fuzz to create a strange, otherworldly sounding effect.

Along with the standard line level 1/4" inputs and outputs, the Cimmerian Caves V2 also has 1/8" modular inputs and outputs. These allow for the 'hotter' Eurorack signals to be used with the Cimmerian Caves, lowering the input to avoid distortion and raising the output level back to the hotter modular signal.

Cimmerian Caves works great with synthesizers and drum machines, but it also works perfectly well with guitar and bass!

Ships with 9v power supply (region specific)

Estimated shipping will begin mid to late August, 2018

OTO Biscuit 8-bit Effects Makes Its Way to Software


Introducing OTO Biscuit – Softube Published on Jun 19, 2018

"Get it today – https://softu.be/OTO_Biscuit
✮ Vive Le Biscuit
Delicious 8-bit effects and analog filtering make the Biscuit a "magic box" – a must have for DJs, producers, engineers, and composers alike. It has detailed bit-by-bit control, unlike other bitcrushers, and built in digital multi-effects to complement the sweet-as-can-be analog-modeled filter. Once you taste it, you'll find it hard to keep your hands off. ✮"


Initially introduced in hardware in the late 00’s, the French-made OTO Biscuit quickly became a cult classic with DJs and electronic music producers around the world. Gritty bit-crushing, lo-fi multi-effects, a sweet and smooth analog filter, and a quality look and feel, made it a go-to awesome-sound-maker in clubs and studios alike.

Now it’s available in software, bringing those crunchy, dirty, edgy sounds closer to the DAW-based studio or laptop-based performance rig, and making it more intuitive than ever before.

The Biscuit offers incredibly detailed control of these essential sonic possibilities, with eight individually invertable or mutable bits, control of sample rate, waveshaping, delay, even pitch-shifting, and analog filtering (controllable manually or with a built-in step sequencer) to round off sharp edges and make even the harshest digital screech sound alive and organic.

Introducing EFFECTS SERIES – CRUSH PACK | Native Instruments


Published on Jun 14, 2018 Native Instruments

Playlist:

1. Introducing EFFECTS SERIES – CRUSH PACK | Native Instruments
Watch this introduction to CRUSH PACK – the latest installment in Native Instruments' new line of effects.

BITE, DIRT, and FREAK offer modern twists on the prized tone of early samplers, the timeless shred of a sophisticated stomp box, dynamic ring modulated sci-fi sounds, futuristic timbres, other-worldly radio broadcasts, and more.
2. Introducing BITE from EFFECTS SERIES – CRUSH PACK | Native Instruments
CRUSH PACK is the latest installment in Native Instruments’ new line of effects. BITE, DIRT, and FREAK offer modern twists on the prized tone of early samplers, the timeless shred of a sophisticated stomp box, dynamic ring modulated sci-fi sounds, futuristic timbres, other-worldly radio broadcasts, and more.
3. Introducing DIRT from EFFECTS SERIES – CRUSH PACK | Native Instruments
DIRT is a distortion stompbox that combines analog modeling with highly refined controls and flexible routing.
4. Introducing FREAK from EFFECTS SERIES – CRUSH PACK | Native Instruments
FREAK combines frequency shifting, ring modulation and radio modulation techniques in one versatile package.

Update: The official press release:

"Berlin, June 15, 2018 – Native Instruments today launch EFFECTS SERIES – CRUSH PACK, a follow-up to the critically acclaimed MOD PACK.

CRUSH PACK offers three plug-ins, covering a wide array of tonal distortion effects – bit-crushing, stompbox-style distortion, ring modulation, amplitude modulation, frequency shifting, and more – and each with innovative new creative features, such as allowing external sidechain sources as modulators. Each also features the same prized sound quality that earned MOD PACK plaudits from press and users alike, making CRUSH PACK another essential upgrade from the distortion effects found in DAWs.

CRUSH PACK consists of three VST/AU/AAX plug-ins: A bitcrusher and sample rate reducer called BITE, a distortion effect called DIRT, and a multi-mode modulating device called FREAK. 234 carefully designed presets showcase the huge range of tonal distortion possible.

Additionally, all MOD PACK owners can enjoy a significant crossgrade discount on the price of CRUSH PACK.

BITE recreates the prized sonic imperfections that defined hip-hop and dance music’s first golden era, but it takes things much further. It allows a wide sonic palette, from authentic 80s organic digital crunch to depth-charged extremes. Modern features like auto-input/output compensation ensure controlled chaos.

DIRT offers organic-sounding distortion, crafted by sound designers. Flexible signal routing, blending, and other carefully crafted parameters allow unusual levels of control. Unlike the stompboxes upon which its sound is based, DIRT’s controls are calibrated for subtle tone-shaping (even when delivering extreme sonic results), and powerful features such as wavefolding allow complex, dynamic timbres, even from simple sources like sine waves.

FREAK (derived from ‘frequency shifting’) delivers three sound-bending modulation types in one plug-in. Innovative modes like retro radio lo-fi, stereo modulation, and wild sidechain ability sit alongside classic AM, ring mod, and frequency shifting techniques. This range allows detuned horror-style vocals, rich metallic timbres, rhythmic sidechaining, the sound of vintage broadcasts or alien transmissions, and more.

Pricing and availability
EFFECTS SERIES – CRUSH PACK is available now at the NI Online Shop for €69 / $69 / £59 / ¥ 8780 / AU$ 99

MOD PACK owners can upgrade to CRUSH PACK now at the NI Online Shop for just €44 / $44 / £37 / ¥ 5600 / AU$ 60"
