Reliq - Rlx 1.9.0: Build Your Own Hybrid Instrument

video upload by Reliq Instruments

"A single Reliq track can now play four Eurorack oscillators and an FM synth at the same time. Rlx 1.9 adds Custom Track Outputs: each of a track's eight voices can go to a different MIDI output, CV output or gate, so one track becomes an instrument you build out of the gear you already have. It also brings a redesigned Clip page, Sheet navigation, Clip Loops, freely assignable CV modulation and a Scale Detector.

(Don't forget to check the 'Show Betas' box to access this update)

Metropolix 1.6.2.3 beta firmware update allows you to derive triggers or gates from the 8 Mod Lanes - adding some extra sequencing power to this already jam packed sequencer. These can be output from the A & B Mod Outputs, the Gx (or Qx) Expander Module, or via MIDI.

Curves & Membranes 1.4.0 | Expressive MPE & Paraphonic Synth Sounds

video upload by Unusable Engineering

"Curves & Membranes 1.4.0 adds new MPE performance, 4-voice paraphonic synthesis, and velocity-controlled waveform morphing. This no-talking sound demo goes through 10 new presets using those features, from expressive pads and keyboard sounds to rhythmic and more experimental synth patches.

There are 20 new presets in the update in total. The ten in this video are played first dry and then with some Geometry Reverb added.

The three main new performance features are:

Expression / MPE Mode
MPE pressure controls the amplitude envelope and oscillator brightness, CC74 / Slide moves through the Oscillator Preset slots, and pitch bend is expanded to 48 semitones. Preset Slew controls how smoothly CC74 interpolates between waveform geometries.

Sound Design BEAST! 3rd Wave 8M gets New Firmware

video upload by The Midlife Synthesist

"3rd Wave 8M gets a big update! In this video I explore the wavemaker and the new Shimmer Reverb effect"

3rd Wave Shimmer Verb Demo (No Talking)

video upload by Groove Synthesis

"Shimmer Verb is a brand new reverb effect in 3rd Wave OS 2.0. Check out some of the sounds it's capable of in this demo performed by Christian Frentzen.

The idea behind a shimmer effect isn't new, but the way we've built ours gives you a lot of freedom to create and control inside the synthesizer. Most importantly, it sounds great without harshness or the need to EQ.

This Shimmer will give you the ability to shift the pitch in fractions of a semitone across a full two-octave range, from one octave down to one octave up, which means you're not limited to complete octave or semitone shifts. Dial in something in between, and you'll land on intervals that most shimmer effects can't reach, from lush and consonant to genuinely dissonant and unsettled, depending on where you land and how you play into it.

Examples:
00:00 - Lush Bells
00:24 - Falling Shimmers (Pitch Envelope)
00:45 - Warm Shimmers
01:30 - Detuned Warmth
02:00 - Snappy Verb
02:26 - Sidechain Shimmer (LFO-modulated)
03:04 - Long and Dark (Pitch -12)"

Bliss 3.20 What's New

video upload by discoDSP

"Bliss 3.20 is out for macOS, Windows, Linux and iPadOS. The crusher gains five vintage sampler DAC models (SP-1200, MPC60, Emulator II, LinnDrum and Mirage) that alias with the pitch like the real hardware. Sampling gets round robins, silence trimming with a recording threshold, and program range capture that renders a whole bank of plugin programs in one pass. Zones can now be grouped and linked so one edit updates the whole set, with per-zone CC ranges and CC choke for realistic hi-hat control."

Important!

PlayFader:
Current price is €299 plus vat.
From 8th August the new price will be €399 including vat for EU and US customers! (€339 ex vat price for rest of the world)
