Blue Cat DP Meter Pro Part 2: MIDI Controller Output

Published on Jul 24, 2013 MusicMarketingTV·519 videos

"In this conclusion to the 2-part series on Blue Cat Audio's DPMP, Prof. Garbutt shows two active DPMPs controlling filters and envelope generators in 2 LuSH-101 synths, If your DAW supports MIDI out from an audio strip, then you can hook this up directly. This generic demo uses Plogue Bidule to host the instruments and route the MIDI."

Trivia question: who programmed the original version of the sync sound in the beginning of the video and on what synth? Where is he now?

"Prof. Don Garbutt takes us on a crazy detour through additive synthesis, complex waveforms and how to survive an attack by a sabre-tooth tiger, to arrive at a lucid description of oscillator sync in the LuSH-101 by d16 Group Audio Software. He also explains the settings in the pitch control section."

Launch the player above and read. The top two pics are what it would look like in hardware. Below is the virtual synth in software.

"LuSH-101 is a synthesizer created from modules that can be found in many modern virtual synthesizers, all combined into a single compact and logically intuitive design. However, this basic simplicity combined with its multilayer architecture turns it into an easy-to-use but extremely powerful instrument that can be programmed and tweaked quickly, almost effortlessly leveraging its maximum potential.

The multilayer architecture guarantees that both the sound design possibilities and number of unique situations in which LuSH-101 can be used are virtually limitless..."

Modded Monotron acid demo by Gravitronic

"What you are listening to is two tracks of korg monotron, and some 909 drums via the excellent d16 909 emulation VST.

The first monotron track is MIDI sequenced from ableton live sent to a MIDI->CV converter and finally to the monotron, which has been modded and calibrated to approximately 1V/oct tuning. This is a 24-bar loop that is repeated a few times. There is reverb on this track to give it that acidy depth."

D16 Group Shioitor

"Shioitord is a revolution in sound within the plugin market. Its authentic analogue character and extensive software features will fulfil the needs of the most demanding musicians and sound designers who use synthesisers in their work.

Since it uses a layered architecture, Shioitor has endless sound shaping possibilities. Each layer can be freely assigned to any midi channel or keyboard zone. Its audio output can be routed to any of the available audio outputs. Layers can either be used to create a single massive sound (where all layers respond to a single midi channel and a single keyboard zone) or to create many different timbres (where each layer plays a sound on a different midi channel). Using Shioitor to play a different sound on each midi channel allows Shioitor to work very efficiently as it saves memory and CPU compared to loading in multiple instances of the plugin for each sound.

Shioitor can work as either a monophonic synthesiser or a polyphonic synthesiser, where each layer can play up to 16 voices of polyphony (dependent on CPU of host computer). These settings are independent for each layer. Also, each layer can have its own independently controlled arpeggiator. In both play modes (mono/poly), it is possible to turn on a Unison mode with tweakable parameters for spread, filter cut-off frequency, panorama and tune. Unison mode will use up polyphony. However, it allows the creating of bigger more defined sounds.

Shioitor also has a built in chorus effect. This can be used instead of Unison mode to fatten a sound or it can be used with Unison mode enabled to create much bigger richer sounds. The chorus effect was modelled on classic analogue units, the same type found on old synthesisers. The chorus setting have been reduced to a few parameters with discrete values to make it easier and faster to use.

Shioitor is also equipped with an excellent Preset Manager tool which organises presets into groups. It also has a Timbre Manager which allows searching for layers and arpeggiator sequences within presets. Shioitor comes with a huge library of presets created by famous artists. This allows users to get up and running quickly. However, for those who love to experiment and create their own sounds, Shioitor will keep them busy for many hours as they become lost in its incredible array of sonic possibilities!

... Your imagination is the only limit."
