Undersong, a walkthrough: turn audio into tuned particles (Max for Live and iPad)

video upload by ijo audio

"In this video I walk through Undersong, my audio effect that acts more like an instrument. It's out now as a Max for Live device and for iPhone and iPad.

Undersong is based on an idea I had for a live performance that ended up taking on a life of its own. Some of my past devices have been pretty immediate. You drop them on a track and they do the thing you're expecting. But this one really feels more like an environment that you have to get to know a little bit, kind of like a modular workstation full of ideas I like. They're often ambient leaning, but I think it's open to other types of music as well.

Liminal Space 2 RC7: Tape, Fuzz & Beautiful New Reverb Spaces

video upload by Keith Crosley

"Liminal Space 2 RC7 now has tape saturation, tape shimmer, fuzz, robot speech, and new Authentic Soundware-inspired spaces. Your old pal Keith went in to update his haunted digital reverb synth and apparently forgot where the brakes were. So grab your headphones: we're going from beautiful studio strings to a cassette deck that probably shouldn't be allowed to drive!

First, Space Age Strings from Authentic Soundware meets four new reverb banks evolved from Jared Hunter's impulse responses, used with his permission. We explore Color EQ and Decay Color, compare Eastside Church with its source IR, and squeeze into the tiny Relic Room. These are algorithmic reverbs inspired by measured spaces; the IRs aren't playing inside the plugin.

Then things get gloriously unreasonable. The new GRIT module brings warmth, crunch, wavefolding, bitcrushing, shoegaze fuzz, varispeed tape, and Speak & Spell-style speech processing. We build tape shimmer, stereo wow and flutter, and a weird reverse-tape bloom. How many ways can you bend pitch in a reverb? Apparently, ALL OF THEM.

We also cover the new "Clean" tank filtering, Vulture 224 vintage flavor, spring/plate Material, Follow-driven reverb ducking, Lexitone Split Decay, and a quick return to True Shimmer. Plus a "Skippy Save" shortcut for your own wonderfully questionable patches. Woot!

Buzz Zone V3

video upload by DATABROTH

This video was sponsored by Toybox Audio: https://www.toyboxaudio.com/products/...
Read my full review here: https://www.databroth.com/blog/buzz-z...

Buzz Zone is a boutique performance-oriented synth with a rich set of features, cutting edge DSP and a streamlined modern interface for endless inspiration and experimentation

The synth has two engines that can be layered together for a range of complex sounds and textures. The 'Synth' engine is a great sounding wavetable oscillator with a unison function for buzzy, harmonically rich timbres, hence the name! The 'Sample' engine mixes in additional textures or attack samples over the sound.

Buzz Zone has 6 sequencers, built for messing around with phrases, riffs, and ideas before locking things down: grab a few bars on a controller and drop them into a slot, scrub the playhead to audition the result before committing it, or trigger and transpose sequences live from a keyboard or pad controller.

Someone Ported ReBirth to Modern macOS… and It Still Works

video upload by Autodafe

"ReBirth RB-338 is back on modern macOS — unofficially.
Someone has managed to bring the legendary Propellerhead classic back to life as a standalone app and plugin. In this video I’m testing it inside Logic together with other plugins and drum parts.
ReBirth was released for free years ago, but it is not open source or public domain, so I’m not providing a direct download link here.
If you’re curious, though… you may want to have a look around autodafe.net. 👀
This is an unofficial project and is not affiliated with or endorsed by Propellerhead or Reason Studios."

Reflection 2.7 preview: draw a path, the sound flies along it

"A first look at what's coming in Reflection 2.7. We're skipping a few version numbers: there's that much new in it.

Draw a path and the sound moves along it: doppler, air, early reflections, room size in metres. Then ShimVerb, a reverb whose tail climbs in pitch on every pass, a new 8-band EQ drawn over the live spectrum, and the Metasurface morphing between two snapshots.

Currents & Nostalgia - Using Velocity to Slot position for variation in two patches - Coming synth

video upload by Unusable Engineering

"In this video I am not showing off patches, but showing 2 different ways to utilize the slot system and velocity to generate different degrees of variation to patches. The patches are of course included as presets with the synth when it is available.

By using the velocity to position function - the velocity can move to entirely different oscillator settings or filter settings - or both at once. It can be combined with sweeping slot movement too for evolving patches.

The first patch in the video uses the oscillator slot system to increase detuning and feedback with higher velocity and some random movement from there. The filter is set up in a rather flat way across three slots letting mid velocities add extra drive and distortion to the sound.

The second patch is having 5 independent drum sounds set up by using no interpolation, thus giving 5 discrete velocity zones - one for each slot. The system is set up the same way for both oscillator and filter making it straight-forward to adjust the patch.

Astra Creative Audio releases Tesseracto 4D MPE Software Synth

Press release follows:

"Astra Creative Audio, the plugin brand of Barcelona producers BLIKO and Phonkid Prod, releases Tesseracto 4D, a wavetable synthesizer for macOS that can be played in the air. Its companion app, Tesseracto CAM, reads both hands through the Mac's camera or an iPhone (Continuity Camera) and turns height, tilt and an open or closed hand into per-note MPE expression, the way an MPE controller would.

Tesseracto 4D

- Wavetable oscillator that travels the table in four dimensions (X, Y, Z and W), shown rotating at the centre of the panel.

- Full MPE: every finger carries its own pitch, pressure and slide; also playable from any MPE controller or a regular keyboard.

- 4D modulation matrix with 3D LFOs and chaos; filter, envelopes, unison and glide; arpeggiator and 4D path.

- Hyper-FX rack: Quantum Folder, Phase Flanger, Chrono Delay, Void Shimmer, Hyper-Stereo Displacer, Hyper-Compressor and Vintage Reverb 70s, in series, in parallel or in a feedback loop.

- 80 presets in 10 categories.

- Version 1.0.0. macOS: VST3 and Audio Unit, universal binary (Intel and Apple Silicon). Licence for life on two computers.

- Tesseracto CAM: macOS 13 or later. Hand tracking runs on the computer: the camera image never leaves it, and the internet is only needed once, to activate the licence.

- Price: €99, taxes included. Tesseracto CAM is included.

One bundle, one payment

- Astra Color Pack: the four compressors (A-2A optical, A-3A leveller, A-2Bus bus compressor, A-76 FET limiter) and the four EQs (A-Pre EQ, A-Channel EQ, A-Program EQ, A-500): €199, taxes included, against €338.80 bought one by one. One licence key activates all eight; macOS (VST3/AU, universal) and Windows (64-bit VST3).

Also coming: from 19 October the A-Vocal FX vocal chain joins the Astra subscription (€9.99 a month or €99 a year, taxes included) with version 1.2.3.

Celestine for iPad: My real‑time granular device is now an AUv3

video upload by ijo audio

ijo audio also brought us Polycrush 16 - 8-bit synthesizer for Ableton Live

"Celestine is a real-time granular AUv3 audio effect for the iPad. It's always listening and always spitting out grains. If you've been following my channel for some time, you'll know that Celestine started out as a Max4Live device... my most successful one to date. Many people have asked for it to be ported to other platforms and this marks the beginning of that journey. I've spent the last few months on this. I've also got future plans to release Celestine as a VST3/AU for other desktop DAW users.

Just like the original, this iPad version aims for the immediacy of a pedal and the depth of a granular instrument. There are eight granular modes: classic Grain clouds, Mosaic’s harmonic tiles, Glide’s tape‑like swoops, Reverie’s reverse washes, Bloom’s halos, Tide’s pulsing waves, Stars’ sequenced sparkles and Orbit’s swirling stereo motion. Everything stays tempo‑locked when you want it to in Sync mode, the (now touch-based) visualizer lets you perform playhead and pitch gestures on the fly, and the grain panel offers control over density, size, spray, jitter, reverse probability and more.

To shape the final output, Celestine includes a 'Magic panel' of various multi-FX to sweeten things, a lush reverb and a Dirt section with wavefolding and a bitcrusher. Use Celestine as an insert effect and set the dry/wet to taste or put it fully wet on a send to let fragments of your entire session bloom into shimmering clouds. I’ve found it shines on vocals, guitars, synths and pianos, but percussion can turn into glittering glitches and rhythmic sparkles too. I've also added undo/redo, a full preset system and a constrained randomizer to jump to new ideas quickly.

As I mentioned, I’m planning future releases for VST3/AU on desktop, so this is just the beginning of Celestine’s journey. For now, I hope you enjoy sculpting sounds on the couch, in the bathtub or wherever you like to use your iPad. :)

Celestine for iPadOS has an introductory price of $5.99 USD for the first two weeks and then will jump up to $9.99.
