New Wave Presets Releases Two New Soundsets for the Elektron Analog Keys/Four

Elektrosphere

"Take a journey through 128 new sounds for your Elektron Analog Keys/Four

Elektrosphere for the Elektron Analog Keys/Four will propel your synthesizer through a refreshing new world of unique sounds! Elektrosphere is the result of one month of careful programming, and attention to making the most musically useful sounds. All New Wave Presets sounds offer a higher level of quality than what you will find from many other preset packs. For Analog Keys players all sounds have useful parameters mapped to the modulation joystick. All volume levels have been checked for consistency, feedback, resonance spikes, and distortion. And all categories of sounds are included to make many complete compositions using just this sound set alone.

Elektrosphere includes a nice selection of classic sounds, such as emulations of vintage synths, and acoustic instruments, but focuses on other worldly sounds and atmospheres. This package also features a convenient layout starting with basses, leads, keys, pads, and so on, listed by order of type and arranged alphabetically."

WMD MSCL Eurorack Compressor Demo

Published on Jun 6, 2017 Perfect Circuit Audio

"In this demo we show how the WMD MSCL compressor can be used on the master bus and as a side chain compressor. No compression or limiting was used other than the MSCL. The WMD Performance mixer is used to mix into the MSCL. The kick drum is from the Hexinverter BD9, Snare from Audio Damage Boomtschak, percussion from Audio Damage Neuron and noise from the SSF Quantum Rainbow 2 into the Make Noise Optomix. The bass is sequenced by the WMD Arpitecht and is two Intellijel Dixie II +s going into a AJH Minimod VCF and then a Hexinverter Galilean Moons for VCA and envelopes.

MSCL, from WMD, is a compact Stereo Compressor designed as a master compressor to help glue ones mix together. It is based off the DBX "Over Easy" style compressor, with attack and release knobs, output gain, and a master Compression knob which decreases threshold, increases gain and ratio with just one turn. Also included is a Limiter, which can be switched on to make the MSCL act as a peak limiter. A threshold switch can change the settings to function with signals with different volumes.
