"Welcome, this is a site devoted to the ARIES Modular Systems. Here you will find some useful info, pictures, schematics and documentation about the various ARIES systems. If you have any more information about Aries, please contact me.
Aries was a modular synthesizer manufacturer founded by Frank Fink and was located in Salem Massachusetts US. They built high quality modular synths in both factory assembled and kit form. The modules of the ARIES modular system ware at the time manufactured by resident company RIVERA MUSIC (RMS)."
"1999 Yamaha CS-2x. Patches / performances edited by WC Olo Garb. Video editing by WC Olo Garb. ||| Syntezatory.prv.pl Videos: showing you not what a synthesizer can do, but what a man can do with a synthesizer.
Each of these machines has its own distinct sound. The three different characters complement each other very well:
ARP Omni 2: Clear, shining, shimmering
Logan String Melody II: Fat, warm, organic, middy
Weson Symphony: Balanced, restrained, smooth
The goal was to achieve the highest audio quality possible in order to leave the original sound untouched. That's why only highend equipment and a reference wordclock were used to sample every single key of the machines at 24 bit resolution. The 241 samples were then restaurated and cleaned from hum and noise. To preserve the original movements within the sound the loop points were searched manually according to the natural "loops" caused by beats which resulted in loop lenghts up to 4 seconds. With this method the looped sampled tone can't be distinguished from the original and there are no noteiceable loop points. A lot of work, but worthy to capture those really glorious sounding machines with the original character leaving untouched.
There are two engines that allow to layer and split two sounds, tune and pan them, and change the attack and release times. The two engines even can be sent to individual stereo outs on demand for separate external processing.
The samples are completely loaded into the RAM (140mb), no disk streaming needed. This means: Compact and easy on CPU. Available for Receptor too with free crossgrade from the PC version.
Note that there are also a few other string machine emulating plugins containing "Stringer" in their names: - Falkelab Stringer - Numerikart Stringy Stringazoide Stringer - Easytoolz easy-mr.stringer"
"The time has come to announce the release of the world's first published polyphonic tone manipulation software. The dream of musicians to isolate single notes out of chords and so to manipulate most forms of recorded audio has come true on the 20th of January 2009.
Applications: * Change chords or single wrong notes in polyphonic recordings o To fit pieces into your composition that otherwise would not have been accessible due to their key o To creatively play around with recorded audio like with a midi instrument - it will play your musical ideas by a click but it still sounds like the real instrument * Isolate the natural harmonics of instruments, manipulate them, take your instruments under the magnifying glasses to understand their sound * Create real sounding harmonizations, i.e. make chords out of monophonic parts of audio * Correct intonation problems of any instrument or voice while keeping the formants as they are Create artificial vibrato, stretch the formants, rearrange melodies, draw frequency curves with your mouse to access monophonic and polyphonic audio in a way it has never been possible before
This first version of VisualVox polyphonic costs only 25 Euros as being a student and not a big company I still need your suggestions to remove any possible inconveniences. The final version 1.0 will cost 99 Euros but the upgrade from version 0.9 will cost only 50 Euros. (Prices do not incude taxes dependent on your location)"
YouTube via AbletonInc "Max for Live puts the power and potential of Max/MSP inside Live. Create all the instruments, effects and extensions you've ever wanted. Go beyond the common and predictable, and transcend the limits that conventional tools impose. Build completely unique synths and effects, create algorithmic composition tools, or fuse Live and controller hardware into radical, new music machines. Join a society of makers and share ingenuity.
Max for Live was co-developed by Ableton and Cycling '74."
