"original composition (needs practice)! thanks to youtuber fischek who helped me with the stereo uploads. Im using the Korg X5's choir , Microkorg some sweeping and beeping using its arpeggiator at the slowest speed. The Ensoniq Esq1 is making that lovely old piano sound, synthesized as it is, it has a lovely warm tone.ESQ is also making the "vangelis" type leads . The Junos are doing the rest"

Last day for Limited Edition AFG pre-orders

"Just a quick note to let everyone here know that Tuesday, March 25 will be the last day to pre-order the Limited Edition version of the Livewire Audio Frequency Generator.

We have definitely exceeded our expectations for pre-orders, but we've decided to leave it open for two additional days, due to overwhelming demand and some paypal cart problems (too many orders!).

Again, you can pre-order your AFG by going to www.livewire-synthesizers.com or simply emailing Shawn Cleary at shawn at analoguehaven.com. Existing customers of Schneiders Buero, MESI or Moog Audio can reserve their Ltd. Ed. AFG directly with these dealers. Also, customers in Japan can contact Fukusan Kigyo Co. (www.fukusan.com) to inquire about pre-ordering an AFG.

Thanks to everyone for the great response and support of Livewire products... it has been extremely encouraging.

Random modulations

"Using two oscillators as LFO's and mixing their output. Added modulation comes from a third LFO (Moog Voyager out of picture). I'm sending the mixed modulation signal to the pitch and waveform inputs on the Voyager and getting some really wild sounds. Its fun!"

Ohm Force Frohmage - Free Low Pass Filter

"Sorry, did someone say FREE! Yes indeed. Ohmforce's most affordable plugin offers, as you would a expect, a unique palette of sounds, combining lowpass filtering and analogue crunch with a bundle of special features.

You can easily tune the filter to resonate with specific notes in your music, and the built in harmonic multiband feature adds tons of warmth to your sound. For extreme fun, delay effects can be applied across the filters at the turn of a single knob, creating swish phasing or weird gliding echoes.

Finally, why not dial in some distortion. Whether you like your music to scream in pain, or simply crave that phat, analog tone, Frohmage's final overdrive stage is waiting to be abused. Oh, and did we mention that it's free?

Core features
Highly resonant low-pass filter
Cutoff frequency unit selection : Hz or musical note
Up to 15 additional bands, harmonically distributed
Delay on each band for unique phaser effects
Distortion stage, with two routing schemes
Very fine MIDI control (PRN and NPRN sent or recorded by Frohmage are 14-bit accurate)
Low CPU load
And as usual on Ohm Force products
Useful presets instant variable transitions where all the parameters switch from the old value to the new one in a ballet you won't forget!
MIDI automation: It allows control of all parameters from *any* MIDI source and records its movements. With the MIDI feature, it's also possible to adjust the LFO phase to get accurate tempo synchronization and to obtain totally musical and rhythmic effects. All RPN and NRPN data sent or recorded are 14-bit accurate. This feature is not available on demo versions but is featured on the Frohmage free version, instruments demos or every standalone versions for you to try.
Easy MIDI configuration with Auto-Bind feature. Select a knob on the screen, activate the Auto-Bind and move a controller knob on your MIDI device: the parameter will be automatically bound to the chosen knob.
Fast configuration: Save MIDI configurations into files and reload them to avoid repeating the same operations each time you load the plug-in. Advanced MIDI support with autobind feature and fast configuration
Tempo synchronization: Instantly matches the exact beat of your track
High quality DSP algorithm: The greatest sound quality. See for yourself with any demo version or check out the samples.
Sampling rate up to 384 kHz.
Revolutionary graphic user interface! Big handy buttons which are more precise and smoother than you could imagine... With our SubPixel technology there is more definition.
Move several buttons at once, with group selection and side-click. Advanced GUI full of live-performance features, such as flying knobs, preset morphing, and grouped parameters..."
