Quick Overview (Full version)

Six-String-Audio presents ULTIMATE-ROCK-GUITAR-6, the most detailed multi-sample-library of a custom electric rock guitar up-to-date with 14 different articulations added by 34 Chord Groups, Special Chords and further extras, resulting in over 40 GB sample material of only one pickup, the bridge humbucker pickup, compressed to 26,4 GB with Native Instruments‘ lossless audio compression!

Having recorded an Ibanez-RG-Series guitar with unparalleled detail, we tried to capture the essential nuances of rock guitar playing, re-creating the almost perfect emulation of a rock guitar. We recorded the pure direct-in-signal (DI) of the bridge humbucker pickup, so you can sculpture the sound to your taste. Run it through a professional amp simulation and enjoy!

Unlike other sample libraries, ULTIMATE ROCK GUITAR 6 comes with a huge palette of pre-recorded chord samples. The reason is evident: It sounds better, tighter, much more realistic.

Therefore we recorded all the chords inevitable for authentic rock guitar tracks. But not enough! We painstakingly recorded them in detail, resulting in up to 4 velocity layers, upstrokes, various palm-mutes, slide-in, slides, hammer-ons and pull-offs.

To accomplish the chord section, we recorded a bunch of SPECIAL CHORDS, mainly open stringed chords. All together summing up to 38 GB of pre-recorded chord samples, an effort other companies did not even consider!

FRETBOARD MONITOR

Ultimate Rock Guitar comes with a lovingly crafted fretboard monitor, that combines the fretboard with tablature and notation, and also presents all playing techniques and ornaments in a detailed and dynamic way.

Be it legato, slides (portamento), glissandi, tremolo picking, tapping, unison bends, harmonics, artificial harmonics, vibratos, dips and dives, … You won’t miss anything!

Six String Audio Ultimate Rock Guitar FreeVersion Kontakt [FREE] screenshotSix String Audio Ultimate Rock Guitar FreeVersion Kontakt [FREE] screenshotFree assignable keyswitches, velocity split keyswitches and velocity layer mappings give you the opportunity to customize how articulations are mapped and triggered! This allows you to create the setup that perfectly meets your needs.

ONBOARD FX

The Fx-Rack uses the onboard effects of KONTAKT, giving you the option to shape your sound immediately for a first go. Well, to be honest, we recommend using professional amp simulation software instead. There are cool freeware amp, speaker and Fx-pedal-simulations on the web, doing a great job.

Ultimate Rock Guitar 2.0 allows you to setup your own guitar skin. This seems to be only a cool gimmick at first glimpse, but it becomes helpful if you are using more than one instance of ULTIMATE-ROCK-GUITAR-6 in your project. Each skin is stored with the selected Guitar/Random-Mode.

Choose from 20 factory skin presets or choose different guitar-bodies, necks, and pickups to create your own guitar setup.

Valhalla Supermassive gets Pleiades reverb/echo mode in v4.0.0 update

 



Valhalla DSP has released an update to its free audio plugin designed for massive delays and reverbs. Version 4.0.0 of Valhalla Supermassive features a new Pleiades reverb/echo mode.

Pleiades isn’t one of the “weirdo” Supermassive modes. Instead, it is designed to make the smoothest, most natural reverbs yet found in Supermassive. Pleiades has a very fast attack, and a filtered exponential decay. The reverb structure is inherently dense without coloration, and the echo density can be increased by turning DENSITY up to 100% without sounding metallic.

The goal of Pleiades is to create transparent, open sounding reverbs, but it also excels at modulation effects and chorused delays.

Showcasing the Pleiades mode, a selection of new presets range from lush choruses and metallic flangers, to smooth chorused echoes, to grainy huge reverbs, and beautiful modulated reverbs with high echo density and a natural open decay.

Valhalla Supermassive is free to download in VST/VST3, AU and AAX plugin formats for Windows and Mac.

Rare DSP DrumСlone (Drum Re-synthesizer) v0.6.2 VST3 WiN MAC [FREE]

 


Drumclone allows extracting and modifying high-quality single drum sounds from complex audio sources like songs, samples, or any recording with perceptible percussive elements. Drumclone comes with models* to precisely isolate and resynthesize drum sounds, which allows a fast iterative workflow thanks to its sub-second processing times and drag and drop UI. While it works for isolation, drumclone's main focus is it's sound-design capabilities. Being able to imitate one-shot percussive noises and tweak their attack, transient, noise component, etc, down to the sample-level.

Real-world usage

The utilization of pre-made sounds or song samples is a prevalent practice across various music production genres. Drum samples, in particular, serve as essential components, often forming the structural foundation of numerous compositions. Utilizing drumclone, these high-quality drum sounds can be extracted from existing recordings and subsequently modified without any degradation in sound quality.

Rare DSP DrumСlone (Drum Re-synthesizer) v0.6.2 VST3 WiN MAC [FREE] screenshot

This methodology can effectively isolate a drum sound and mutate it from pure sine-like percussion, to harmonically rich and distorted drum sounds, while keeping the processing fast enough to visualize the results it in real-time.

Unlike traditional extraction methods, which tend to degrade the quality of the sounds with unnatural filtering artifacts and output static audio samples, resynthesis can model the original timbral characteristics of the drums and allows creative flexibility by tuning the underlying formula with simple user-facing controls.

Technology

1. Analysis

Processing starts with time and frequency domain analysis of the input. Features are extracted and modeled in the time domain to aid in detecting events and components corresponding to percussive signals in the spectral domain.

2. Extraction

Components are isolated from the input using different soft spectral masks tailored to the component type, built around detected events and user-specified envelopes.

3. Resynthesis

Once these audio layers are reconstructed from the spectral domain, dynamics and stereo processing are applied to refine the output.

These filtered percussive component layers serve as the input for the resynthesis process. Each signal is matched using a synthesis technique that accurately represents their tonal and amplitude characteristics.

4. Mix + post-processing

This is achieved by using different polyphonic or monophonic oscillators (sine and band-passed noise) and generating modulation envelopes that closely resemble the input.

Following resynthesis, the layers are mixed down into a cohesive stereo track. Straightforward cross-fading and summing with predefined curves are employed in the mix.

Finally, stereo and dynamics processing are applied to the output track to achieve a more natural sound and controlled audio levels.

Capabilities:

One-shot percussion isolation and resynthesis.

Flexible transient and body sculpting with tone and noise controls.

Fine-tuning with sample-level resolution.

Synthesis models to avoid typical filtering isolation artifacts.

Extremely clear drum sound output for applying further processing chains.

Real-time visualization of every change in the waveform.

Fast drag-and-drop workflow.

Fully offline, no cloud or servers involved.

Sub-second processing times on common hardware.

Multi-segment envelope editors to accurately shape the underlying model.

Low-profile vector UI with data visualization and inline controls.

MIDIOX: bom, bonito... e de graça!







Este poderoso software utilitário MIDI para Windows mostra que nem tudo que é bom precisa ser caro.




O MIDIOX é derivado de um software de testes criado pela Microsoft em 1991, chamado MIDI Monitor, que foi aprimorado por Jamie O'Connel e Jerry Jorgenrud. Quando foi lançado o Windows 95, os dois programadores re-escreveram todo o código em 32 bits, com muitas funções adicionais, e batizaram a nova versão de MIDIOX. Analisamos a versão 7, que pode ser obtida gratuitamente na Internet.
Quem trabalha com MIDI controlando vários equipamentos em um sistema certamente já teve a necessidade de analisar com detalhe certas situações, como, por exemplo, quando os comandos deveriam estar funcionando mas não funcionam. É quando então precisamos "rolar" telas e mais telas nos displays dos equipamentos para verificar configurações de canais de MIDI, habilitação de transmissão e recepção de mensagens, checar cabos e conexões. Tudo ficaria mais fácil se pudéssemos de fato "ver" as mensagens que cada equipamento está mandando. Com o MIDIOX, você pode não só visualizar as mensagens em tempo real, mas também gerar comandos, armazenar dados, executar arquivos MIDI, e outros recursos úteis.

Visão Geral

O MIDIOX é um software de grande utilidade para quem quer analisar a operação MIDI de seus equipamentos, e diagnosticar problemas. Ele pode mostrar todas as mensagens que o equipamento transmite, e também enviar mensagens criadas pelo usuário, para testar ou configurar seus equipamentos. É um software bastante versátil e completo para isso.

As telas principais do MIDIOX mostram as mensagens que estão sendo recebidas (Monitor - Input) e transmitidas (Monitor - Output) pelo software. Há várias outras janelas e quadros que também podem ser visualizados, para acompanhar detalhes da operação MIDI.

A instalação é simples e rápida; o software é fornecido em um arquivo com cerca de 800kB, e depois de instalado ocupa menos de 2MB. Além de ser pequeno, o MIDIOX também não atrapalha a operação de outros softwares MIDI.

Para testar equipamentos (hardware) externos ao computador, basta configurar as portas de entrada e de saída de MIDI a serem usadas pelo MIDIOX para receber e transmitir mensagens. Para testar equipamentos e softwares, pode-se interligar o MIDIOX aos softwares usando o driver "virtual" MIDI Yoke (também criado por Jamie O'Connel), tomando-se o devido cuidado em não conectar a saída do MIDIOX à sua entrada, através do MIDI Yoke, o que criaria uma realimentação MIDI, com efeitos desagradáveis.
Usando o MIDI Yoke pode-se, por exemplo, controlar simultaneamente a operação sincronizada de dois softwares de gravação, usando MTC/SMPTE.
As mensagens recebidas pelo MIDIOX podem ser retransmitidas (MIDI Thru) pela porta de saída de MIDI, o que é ideal quando se tem um teclado controlando outros equipamentos MIDI. Se você possui duas ou mais portas MIDI In e MIDI Out, poderá fazer roteamentos das entradas para as saídas através do gráfico "MIDI Port Routing", que facilita bastante a interligação. Com esse recurso, o MIDIOX pode atuar também como um MIDI Patchbay, inclusive com capacidade de efetuar "merge" das entradas MIDI.

Visualizando mensagens

A maior utilidade do MIDIOX é realmente para analisar o conteúdo de mensagens MIDI. Para isso, o usuário deve escolher qual a porta de entrada MIDI In que deseja monitorar, e definir se quer filtrar algum tipo de mensagem. Por exemplo, mensagens que ocorrem repetidamente, como as de tempo-real (clock, start, stop) e de Active Sense, podem ser ocultadas na tela para não atrapalhar a visualização das demais informações.

A janela de monitoração de entrada mostra as mensagens já decifradas, com os valores mostrados em decimal ou hexadecimal. Ela lista o momento em que cada mensagem ocorreu (TimeStamp), qual a porta de MIDI em que ela foi recebida, os valores dos bytes de status e de dados, o número do canal de MIDI, e também o significado da mensagem. Esta janela é ótima para se observar quantas mensagens de MIDI são transmitidas, sobretudo as de Pitchbend, Aftertouch e de tempo-real. Eu recomendo a todos os usuários de MIDI que façam alguns testes com o MIDIOX, para ter uma idéia de como os dados são enviados pelos seus equipamentos.

Além das janelas principais de monitoração de mensagens, o MIDIOX ainda dispõe de painéis para controle e observação de outras funções de MIDI, como sincronização via MIDI Sync e MIDI Time Code. Por meio desses painéis, o usuário pode não só visualizar as mensagens de sincronização e o código de tempo, mas também transmitir essas mensagens para equipamentos externos ou para outros softwares.

Configurando e controlando equipamentos

Além de poder enviar mensagens de sincronização, o MIDIOX pode também transmitir qualquer outro tipo de mensagem de MIDI. O painel "MIDI Status", por exemplo, permite ao usuário transmitir diversos tipos de comandos pré-definidos (em qualquer um dos dezesseis canais de MIDI), usando um slider virtual para ajustar o valor do comando/controle. Já pelo "Control Panel" o usuário pode transmitir comandos de troca de timbres (combinando mensagens de Bank Select e Program Change) e eventos de controle (Modulation, Volume, Pan, Chorus, Reverb, etc). Há uma facilidade até para selecionar a troca de timbres em instrumentos que possuem numeração combinada por seção e programa (ex: A11, A12, etc).

O painel "Instrument Panel" é um recurso interessante. Ele aceita as mesmas definições de nomes de instrumentos usadas pelo Cakewalk Sonar, de forma que o usuário pode selecionar os timbres de seus equipamentos pelos nomes, e não pelos números. Para isso, basta carregar o arquivo de definição apropriado, e o MIDIOX mostrará todos os nomes (o site da Cakewalk possui inúmeros arquivos do tipo INS, com as listas de nomes de instrumentos da maioria dos sintetizadores MIDI fabricados até hoje).
O painel "NRPN Calculator" é uma ferramenta que ajuda a calcular o valor completo dos dados de 14 bits que são compostos por partes MSB e LSB. Isso é muito usado em mensagens do tipo NRPN, assim como nas de Bank Select, onde o valor efetivo do banco é determinado por duas mensagens (Control Change 0 e Control Change 32).

O MIDIOX permite ainda transmitir diretamente mensagens de configuração do tipo "GM On", "GS On" e "XG On", e também pode efetuar um reset geral em seu sistema, enviando mensagens individuais para cessar notas e controles em todos os 16 canais de todas as portas MIDI.

Se você não estiver com um teclado MIDI conectado ao computador, poderá usar o próprio teclado do computador para transmitir notas e outros comandos (pedal de sustain, pitchbend, etc) em tempo-real. Há diversos modos para a operação do teclado, que pode gerar não só notas individuais, mas também acordes e arpejos (diversos tipos diferentes).

O recurso de mapeamento de dados permite que o MIDIOX altere um comando recebido para que atue como outro, definido pelo próprio usuário. Exemplo: transformar os comandos de Aftertouch em comandos de Pitchbend. Da mesma forma, pode-se fazer o mapeamento de números de programa.

Com tantos recursos, o MIDIOX não poderia deixar de executar seqüências MIDI. Para isso ele vem com seu próprio tocador de MIDI, o "MIDIBar", que faz apenas o básico. Mas se você já tem seu tocador de MIDI preferido, poderá associá-lo ao MIDIOX, no lugar do MIDIBar.

Armazenando dados

Além da visualização de mensagens, a outra facilidade de enorme utilidade é a possibilidade de manipular SysEx. Embora o MIDIOX só possa receber dados enviados manualmente do equipamento (ele não efetua requisição de dados), o usuário pode editar os bytes e fazer checagem de validade. A janela de SysEx do MIDIOX mostra também os dados em formato de texto (onde se pode visualizar algumas informações úteis, como o nome do programa), e permite salvar os dados em alguns formatos diferentes, além do padrão SYX.

Adicionalmente às funções descritas acima, o MIDIOX ainda possibilita ao usuário configurar a barra de ferramentas (botões), cores, tipos de fontes nas telas, e outras opções estéticas.

Para os programadores avançados que tenham interesse em criar algum software para interagir com o MIDIOX, existe uma interface de programação, que pode ser acessada por qualquer linguagem que suporte COM, como Visual Basic, C++ e Windows Script Host.

O MIDIOX pode ser obtido diretamente no site www.midiox.com. Ele é gratuito ("freeware") para uso doméstico, mas quem desejar usá-lo para fins profissionais (oficina de testes, estúdios, etc) deverá pagar uma taxa "shareware" aos programadores. O driver MIDI Yoke também pode ser obtido no mesmo site.

Miguel Ratton é engenheiro especialista em tecnologia musical, e desde 1996 mantém o site www.music-center.com.br com diversas informações sobre o assunto.

Cab Lab 4 Powerful IR Mixer and Tools – Now FREE!







Cab Lab 4
Powerful IR Mixer and Tools – Now FREE!

Cab-Lab 4 with DynaCab™ makes it quicker, easier, more intuitive, and more fun to achieve great tone, allowing you to customize and mix cabs, mics, and more. An Impulse Response, or “IR” can be thought of as a sonic “capture” — essentially the “fingerprint” of a tone over time. Fractal Audio is known for industry-leading amp modeling, but was also the first to allow installable Impulse Responses in a guitar product. This set a new industry standard. Suddenly, guitarists could to recreate the sound of their favorite mic’d speaker cabs in a portable format, for both studio recording and live performance.

CAB-LAB is FREE. Download Below!

                    

Standalone and Plugin Versions
Cab-Lab 4 comes with both Standalone and Plugin Versions. The Standalone uses your Axe-Fx III, FM9, FM3, or another audio interface so you can select, position, and mix mics while listening in real-time. The plugin version processes audio in your compatible DAW or host and can be used both to “re-cab” raw amp recordings. Features include a 4-channel IR mixer, plus tools to EQ, align, and more. Cab-Lab can export IRs for your Fractal Audio hardware product, save files to your computer.

DynaCab™ Technology
For decades, artists, producers, and engineers have carefully positioned and mixed mics on guitar speaker cabs in the pursuit of great tone. DynaCab™ replicates this process in a revolutionary way, allowing you to hear results in real-time while moving a virtual mic on a virtual speaker. Compared to previous techniques, DynaCab™ makes it faster, easier, and more intuitive to find the tone you’re looking for without sifting through so many individual IRs. In fact, the DynaCab system in Cab-Lab 4 offers even more resolution and flexibility than our hardware products, with 360° of placement at variable distances, the possibility of additional microphone choices, and more.

DynaCab Packs
DynaCab Packs are like plugins for Cab-Lab. Each pack contains a “3D” set of speaker IR captures made with multiple microphones. For example, packs might be based on a vintage 4×12, modern 2×12 or boutique 1×12. With a DynaCab Pack installed, you have complete access to the vast array of tones that the captured speaker and available microphones are able to produce.

Semana do MIDI: Ripchord is a free MIDI plugin for creating and remixing chord progressions.







Ripchord is a free MIDI plugin for creating and remixing chord progressions. You can create custom chord presets from scratch, load expansion packs, or import any MIDI file that contains chords and Ripchord will automatically create a preset from it. Ripchord helps you easily compose progressions by playing single notes to trigger full chords. You can watch the tutorial on YouTube: Ripchord Overview

Expansion Packs

Anyone is welcome to make expansion packs for Ripchord, and give them away or sell them, without any further permission required. We don't sell any expansion packs directly, or take any kind of cut from third party expansion pack sales.

Open Source

Ripchord is open source under GNU GPLv3. You can check out the source code on Github: Source Code

Plugin Formats

Ripchord is avalailable as an AU or VST3 for Mac, and a VST3 for Windows. We get a lot of requests for a VST2 version of Ripchord. Actually the first version of Ripchord we made was a VST2, and then we found out that Steinberg would not let us give it to anyone. Steinberg stopped granting any new VST2 licenses in 2018 because they are trying to retire the format, so unfortunately that is the end of the story. This also means that whatever DAW you use must support the full VST3 MIDI spec in order to use Ripchord. More details can be found here: VST2 is Discontinued

Play Mode

Ripchord has two modes, play and edit. Most of the time you will be in play mode, in which you can either play an external MIDI keyboard, or click on the input keys with a mouse, in order to trigger the chords in your preset and compose progressions.


1.

(Button) Favorites or unfavorites the currently loaded preset.

2.

(Button) Opens the menu.

3.

(Button) Allows the chords to be enabled or disabled while maintaining the MIDI routing.

4.

(Button) Contains any MIDI that has been recorded. When it is fully illuminated you can click and drag the MIDI from this button into your DAW.

5.

(Button) Switches between the presets view and the keyboards view.

6.

(Display) The name of the currently loaded preset will be displayed here.

7.

(Arrows) Select the next or previous presets in your collection. You can also use the left, right, up, and down keys on your computer's keyboard to trigger these buttons.

8.

(Button) Switches between play and edit mode.

9.

(Button) Clicking once enables MIDI recording. When enabled, recording will begin the moment the first input note is recieved. Clicking this button a second time will disable MIDI recording.

10.

(Button) Switches the direction of the velocity strum between always LTR, always RTL, LTR then alternate, or RTL then alternate. It can only be clicked if the velocity strum knob has been engaged.

(Knob) Increases the note strum, which is the difference in timing between the first and last notes of a chord. The difference will be spread evenly across all of the notes.

18.

(Button) Switches the direction of the note strum between always LTR, always RTL, LTR then alternate, or RTL then alternate. It can only be clicked if the note strum knob has been engaged.

Edit Mode

Edit mode can be used to create a new preset from scratch, or to edit an existing preset. In edit mode, when you mouse click on the input keys, instead of triggering the chord, it will select the input key so that you can assign or modify the output keys that are mapped to it. You can still trigger the chords in edit mode if you have an external MIDI keyboard hooked up, that way you can preview the chords as you edit them.








The MIDI Association MIDI 2.0 Specifications (Complete) PDF [FREE]



MIDI 2.0 is an extension of MIDI 1.0. It does not replace MIDI 1.0 but builds on the core principles, architecture, and semantics of MIDI 1.0.

A foundational architecture for MIDI 2.0 expansion is defined by the MIDI Capability Inquiry (MIDI-CI) specification. MIDI-CI allows Devices with bidirectional communication to agree to use extended MIDI capabilities beyond those already defined in MIDI 1.0, while carefully protecting backward compatibility.

MIDI 2.0 is not a stand-alone specification. Manufacturers and developers must have a thorough understanding of MIDI 1.0 in order to implement MIDI 2.0.

MIDI 2.0 Core Specifications:

These documents make up the MIDI 2.0 Core Specifications. Please click on individual name to access details for document:

  • MIDI 2.0 Specification Overview

  • MIDI Capability Inquiry (MIDI-CI)

  • Common Rules for MIDI-CI Profiles

  • Common Rules for MIDI-CI Property Exchange

  • Universal MIDI Packet (UMP) Format an MIDI 2.0 Protocol

  • MIDI Clip File Specification (SMF format for UMP)

Protocol

The MIDI 2.0 Protocol is an extension of the MIDI 1.0 Protocol. Architectural concepts and semantics remain the same as MIDI 1.0. Compatibility for translation to/from the MIDI 1.0 Protocol is given high priority in the design of the MIDI 2.0 Protocol.

Compared to the MIDI 1.0 Protocol, MIDI 2.0 Protocol messages have extended data resolution for all Channel Voice Messages. New properties have been added to some Channel Voice Messages, and new Channel Voice Messages have been added with greatly improved Per-Note control and much more musical expression.

Property Exchange

Property Exchange is part of the MIDI Capability Inquiry (MIDI-CI) specification and MIDI 2.0. Property Exchange is a method for getting and setting various data, called Resources, between two Devices. Resources are exchanged inside two payload fields of System Exclusive Messages defined by MIDI-CI, the Header Data field and Property Data field. This document defines only the contents of the Header Data and Property Data fields. For information on how to transmit and receive these Resource payloads inside MIDI-CI System Exclusive messages, see the MIDI Capability Inquiry specification and Common Rules for MIDI-CI Property Exchange specification.

Profiles

A Profile is a defined set of rules for how a MIDI receiver device implementing the Profile shall respond to a chosen set of MIDI messages to achieve a particular purpose or to suit a particular application.

Arthur Benilov Aeolus (Pipe Organ Synthesizer) v0.2.0 x64 VSTI VSTI3 AU Standalone Windows MacOS Linux [FREE]


 Pipe organ emulator using additive synthesis as a VST or AU plugin (or a stand-alone executable).Aeolus was originally developed by Fons Adriaensen and presented in 2004. The original implementation is Linux only and can be found here (or across Linux distribution packages). At present it looks like Aeolus development has been mostly abandoned (but Organnery picked up the original Aeolus project to make it run on a Raspberry Pi).

This project leverages the wavetable systhesis part of the original Aeolus, improves on it, and delivers it as a standard VST plugin using JUCE framework, so that it can be run in Windows/macOS VST3/AU hosts.

This implementation contains additional improvements to the sound generation including:

  • Pipe models can be composed of multiple pipes (to create proper mixtures);
  • Different pipe models can be used across the keyboard compass (this enables mixtures breaking-back);
  • Pipes chiff noise is played on attack;
  • The plugin uses zero delay convolutional reverb with selectable IRs from OpenAir library;
  • Registration presets also act as a sequencer.
  • pipes chiff noise on attack;
  • new pipe models;
  • convolutional reverb.

The original binary format for the pipe models and the organ configuration has been translated (partially) to JSON.

MIDI Control:

Sequencer steps are controlled via the program change messages sent on the control MIDI channel (program 0 corresponds to the first step of the sequencer, 1 – to the second and so on).

In a DAW you may use Program parameter to control the sequencer steps. Another way to control the sequencer is via key switches (MIDI notes). The default configuration uses keys 22 and 23 to control the sequencer.

CCs:

CC 1 modulation wheel enables/disables tremulant

CC 7 controls the global volume (on the control MIDI channel) and the volume of each division which has swell config flag enabled (on the swell MIDI channel)

CC 91 controls the reverb output level

CC 98 Stops control

👉 The stops control follows the original Aeolus convention. The control mode is set by the message 01mm0ggg, where mm is the control mode, and ggg is the control group (division number, counter from the top starting from 0). Control modes are:

00 Disable the division (all stops are off)

01 Set stop off

10 Set stop on

11 Toggle

Once the control message is received the value of the format 000bbbbb will execute the selected control mode action on specified stop buton bbbbb, counted from 0.

Custom organ configuration:

Custom organ configuration will be loaded by the plugin if found at Documents/Aeolus/organ_config.json location.

👉 The Documents folder’s exact location depends on the operating system and the user profile.

To create the organ_config.json start with default one embedded into the plugin by copying it to Documents/Aeolus folder and renaming to organ_config.json.

It is also possible to use custom pipe configs in .ae0 or .json format. These have to be placed to the Documents/Aeolus folder for then can be referenced from the organ_config.json (use pipe file name without the extension in the“pipe“attribute of the organ_config.json).

Multibus output:

When compiled with the WITH_MULTIBUS_OUTPUT CMake option enabled, the generated plugin will ouput to the 8 separate monofonic buses. Each bus corresponds to the pipes groups placement in space according to the internal horizontal arrangement of the pipes.

In multibus configuration there is no reverb applied, and there is no spatialization performed.

👉 The multibus mode is indended for the object based mixing, where you could place individual pipe groups in space yourself and apply a reverb of your preference.

Pipes are arranged starting from the lowest key from the sides (buses 0 and 7) to the center in the middle of the range (buses 3, 4), and then going back from the centre towards the sides. For the pedal pipes, they go from the outside towards the centre only.

Corresponding pipe position jumps between left and right following the keys (C will be on the left, C# on the right, D of the left, D# on the right and so on).

👉 This very same pipes spatial arrangement is used in the stereo version of the plugin to perform spatialized rendering followed by a stereo convolutional reverb.

discoDSP OB-Xd v3.5.4 Free Version



OB-Xd is a classic synthesizer with a timeless sound that continues to captivate musicians and producers alike.

With its rich, full-bodied tones and expansive sound design capabilities, the OB-Xd is the perfect choice for those looking to add a vintage touch to their music. Whether you're producing electronic tracks, recording live instruments, or composing for film and television, the OB-X is an invaluable tool that will bring a unique and expressive quality to your sound. So why wait? Add an OB-Xd to your studio today and take your music to the next level!

The OB-Xd is a synthesizer that has been designed to recreate the sound and behavior of the Oberheim OB-X.

However, the original design of the OB-X was limited in some ways, so the OB-Xd includes a number of additional or altered features. One key feature of the OB-Xd is its implementation of micro random detuning, which helps to create a fuller, richer sound. Overall, the OB-Xd has been designed to produce a sound that is as good and as rich as the original OB-X.

Overview:

While not copying originals, some of the features were taken to a better point. Continuous blendable multimode filter (HP-Notch(BP)-HP in 12 dB mode and 4-1 pole in 24 dB mode). Also, like many synths of the OB-X's generation, the OB-Xd has no internal effects so its sounds and textures can be greatly enhanced by the use of additional processing like chorus, reverb, delay, etc.

Additionally, for those interested in micro-tuning, the OB-Xd comes equipped with support for MTS-ESP. This allows for more granular control over your tuning adjustments, perfect for the discerning synth musician.

Free version includes fully functional Standalone app, Audio Unit and VST plug-ins. Registered version delivers both 2.x and 3.x commercial rights1, AAX, VST3, and LV2 plug-ins and technical support to help you get the most out of the software.

System Requirements:

PC: Windows 7 or a newer version.

Mac: macOS High Sierra or a newer version. Works on both x86 and ARM.

Linux: Ubuntu 18 or a newer version.

On Windows and macOS, a one-time internet connection is required to activate the software license. After this, users can use the software offline.

Optimal performance requires an Intel Core i3 (x86) or higher, an Apple Silicon M series (ARM), and a minimum of 4 GB RAM.

The free version of OB-Xd is fully functional, with no major limitations on its features, but it prohibits commercial use.

Free version includes fully functional Standalone app, Audio Unit and VST plug-ins.

Variety of Sound releases TesslaSE mkIII

 





Variety of Sound has announced a major update to its audio effect plugin designed to take signal coloration effects from the analog to the digital domain.

It slightly colors the sound, polishes transients and adds depth and dimension to the stereo field. All that analog goodness in subtle doses. It’s a mixing effect designed to be used here and there, where the mix demands it. It offers a low CPU profile and (almost) zero latency.

Changes in TesslaSE mkIIIThe high frequency control has been adopted as a color control for the transformer circuit, giving further access to the amount and details of the transformer sound.
The depth control has been replaced by an option to adjust curve shapes for saturation or limiting needs.
Anti-Derivative Anti-Aliasing (ADAA) has been added which, in combination with internal oversampling, further improves aliasing suppression.
Improved transformer model, particularly in terms of low frequency handling and interaction with the saturation stage.
Calibration/Gainstaging has been changed to -12dBFS.

The plugin is available to download for free in VST/VST3 formats for Windows. The mkIII update can be used in parallel with the previous version.
