It’s quite common for musicians to re-establish themselves as producers, after years of on-the-road toil and disputes over royalties (ok, we’re generalising a little here) it’s unsurprising that many seek a life of relative stability behind the desk. But to make the opposite career switch is not something we encounter very often. However, if there’s one man who can successfully make that transition from producer-to-artist, it’s the internationally renowned Paul Epworth; the Grammy-winning mastermind behind the key works of Adele, Coldplay, Bloc Party, Florence and the Machine and mountains more. In our brand new interview, Paul explains why now is the perfect time for him to embark on a solo foray into uncharted regions, and also how he is able to juggle that with being one of the world’s most celebrated and in-demand producers. Also this issue, we bring together a range of room correction software to run a group test, with the intention of learning just how much of an improvement they can actually make for your equipment and space. The results were… well, you can find out for yourself in our guide.

Microtape 2 Electric Harpsichord KONTAKT

TEAM MAGNETRiXX | 21 April 2014 | 12.3 MB

No.2 in the microtape series.

Electric Harpsichord – Harpsichord preset from the Farfisa 110pro 1970’s portable organ. With 5 token presets, this isn’t designed as a synth, like Tronto for example, but as a player, with a virtual tape machine running all the time beneath the engine. You have 3 types of control (via the ‘Degrader’) over tape damage – via filter,amplitude or pitch, with a tape speed slider as well, so Boards of Canada style sounds are easily obtainable, or you can set the controls to zero to bypass the effect. There is a simple low pass filter (no resonance) that can be connected to velocity (as can amplitude) for instrumental expression, but also more interestingly is hard wired to the ADSR envelopes, so a slower attack also brings about a slower filter attack (if engaged), to emulate the tape head coming into contact with the tape (likewise with the release).
