Auto-Tonic releases MIDI Note Transposer




Developed over four intensive years of research, planning, designing, programming and testing, Auto-Tonic finally rewrites the book on what's possible with MIDI processing engines. Auto-Tonic moves far beyond standard note transposing – offering you a complete new approach to play authentically in the most fascinating musical scales in world history or scales you create yourself.

Combining the power of advanced scale mapping with a patented and instant responsive keyswitch method that is placed at the closest possible point – right next to your note-playing fingers – Auto-Tonic is a highly creative songwriter production tool that is applicable to all genres of music.

You'll discover harmonies you didn't know were there!

Auto-Tonic offers a completely new approach to keyboard playing by its patented keyswitch technique which allows to map any potential/possible scale in Western tonal music (which is based on 12 pitches) to your white keys in realtime. Note transposing has never been so easy, and this is what makes Auto-Tonic so incredibly useful and unique.


 
Music science right at your fingertips!

Whether you’re playing in real time with your band, or composing in the studio, Auto-Tonic's revolutionary and innovative controls provide instant master level results, with no loss of what your music should sound like.

By putting Auto-Tonic between your MIDI signal path, you'll be able to play in any harmonic context existing in Western tonal music instantly and with ease.



Advanced Note Transposing: Through a unique and patented system developed in Vienna, Auto-Tonic automatically and dynamically allows you to play in any harmonic context existing in Western tonal music with ease.
Flexible Key Mapping: Offering a true linear fingerboard, Auto-Tonic allows the player to focus entirely on his finger movements instead of thinking about scale patterns or finger positions.
Integrated Scale Library: Auto-Tonic comes with a massive library of over 50 prebuilt scale templates along with useful background information and performance suggestions for each template.
Customizable Scales: besides the usual drag and drop capabilities, you’ll also be able to access and edit all template scales in the library, and build new ones – creating unique new scales with very few clicks.
Intelligent Live Functions: Auto-Tonic’s new key switching technology allows you to control Auto-Tonic right from your keyboard by reinterpreting the black keys as function buttons – access your harmonic content without the need to look at your screen!
Auto-Tonic comes with its own serial protection system (User Registration & Network Validation). No iLok required!

System Requirements:
OS X 10.6 (Mac) or Windows XP (Win). 256MB of RAM and 10MB of free hard drive space are recommended for standalone usage.

Auto-Tonic MIDI Note Transposer is available for the introductory price $179 (Regular $249)

bigcat instruments releases free Piano for Kontakt




bigcat instruments has released the free Surprise Piano for NI Kontakt.

bigcat instruments has taken five public domain and creative commons pianos and allowed Kontakt to choose which piano should play each note completely randomly. A single chord might contain sounds from classical grand to honky tonk upright to pop piano.
"Reading David Byrne's book about music I was inspired to be weirder. So I tried to create something odd. In this case your hit a key and one of five pianos will play. Oddly when you just hit one key at a time it sounds pretty bad, but often it seems folks play several notes at once and in some sort of sequence. This tends to average out the various pianos somehow and sometimes creates some other piano sound. It is lets be kind and say experimental and you might significantly hate it."

Tokyo Dawn Labs releases free TDR VOS SlickEQ version 2.2




Tokyo Dawn Labs has released TDR VOS SlickEQ v2.2, free mixing/mastering equalizer designed for ease of use, musical flexibility and impeccable sound.

New:

- Added support for stepped sliders and custom parameter steps
- Text input field below knobs can now be dragged like knobs
- Pressing BYPASS while holding Alt resets all parameters affecting gain back to unity
- Minor stability fixes

Three (and a half) filter-bands arranged in a classic Low/Mid/High semi-parametric layout offer fast and intuitive access to four distinct EQ modes, each representing a set of distinct EQ curves and behaviors. An elaborate auto gain option automatically compensates for changes of perceived loudness during EQ operation. Optionally, SlickEQ allows to exclusively process either the stereo sum or stereo difference (i.e. “stereo width”) without additional sum/difference encoding.

In order to warm up the material with additional harmonic content, SlickEQ offers a switchable EQ non-linearity and an output stage with 3 different saturation models. These options are meant to offer subtle and interesting textures, rather than obvious distortion. The effect is made to add the typical “mojo” often associated with classy audio gear.

An advanced 64bit multirate processing structure practically eliminates typical problems of digital EQ implementations such as frequency warping, quantization distortion and aliasing.

Beside the primary controls, the plug-in comes with an array of additional helpers: Advanced preset management, undo/redo, quick A/B comparison, copy & paste, an online help, editable labels, mouse-wheel support and much more.

System requirements Win XP SP2 or above, Mac OS X 10.6.8 or above.

ABLETUNES KNOBS: DRIVE. SPACE. ATTACK.




Introducing Abletunes Knobs - three free plugins that will liven up your production workflow!

We’ve carefully selected, blended and mapped several parameters to one knob for your convenience, as in some cases we don’t need to dig deep but act fast instead. All three work best as channel insert, though you may try Space Knob on return track setting it 100% and playing with the send level.

So please welcome - Abletunes Knobs: DRIVE, SPACE and ATTACK.



DRIVE KNOB






free ableton live templates

Distortion unit that delivers some nasty wide-band distortion (stereo). Great for when you quickly want to add some tone and color to your sound. Sounds good on drum groups and percussion tracks, adds grit to bass lines, leads, keys, you name it.

Try automating its level on transitions, try automating its ON/OFF switch to add extra vibe and chopping pulsation couple of bars before the drop.



ATTACK KNOB




free ableton live templates

Simplified transient shaper (stereo) with only ATTACK section of the waveform being affected. Adds bite to the drum loops, enhances percussive transients, makes guitar solos sound more solid and confident to name a few applications examples.

But stay moderate with it if you just want to slightly accent the transient (or go nuts with 100% just to see how it sounds).

SPACE KNOB






free ableton live templates

Mid-sized room reverb (stereo). Pretty bright one, creating a mid-sized space, somewhere in between a large room and a small hall. Works well on almost anything, from percussion to synths and acoustic guitars.






MONSTR 2.0

  MONSTR provides up to six bands of stereo width control to correct mix issues or use for creative effect. Available for Windows, macOS, an...
