Combining the textural intricacy of FM with the freeform approach of a modular system, Bengal is a sound designer’s dream with its four operators, eight voices of polyphony, six audio effects and a flexible modulation architecture centred on an interactive virtual patchbay.
Inspired by the classic string machines of the 1970s, Ensemble is a Max for Live string synthesizer with a unique built-in morphing formant filter. Ensemble also includes chorus and phaser effects which can be used separately. Just like its hardware predecessors, Ensemble’s interface makes it easy to create and manipulate rich, warm string sounds. But of course, since this is a Max for Live device, Max for Cats has provided useful tools to take these sounds well beyond their original scope.
New effects ReFill for Propellerhead Reason and Record. Filter Research 2 is a continuation of the concept of complex effect devices built in the Reason environment. Far from just simple reverb or chorus devices, each patch in Filter Research 2 is a creative effect that will supercharge even the most bland mix or instrument.The original Filter Research has yet to be matched in terms of quality effects devices for Reason. Filter Research 2 builds on this strong foundation, but exceeds its predecessor in every way. New this time, are effect patches controllable by keyboard MIDI input; as well as a wide variety of sequenced effects with inbuilt patterns; of course, a huge selection of filters that go beyond LP/BP/HP are present and accounted for. Ducking delays, crunchy envelope-followed distortion devices, and spectral processors are just some of the other highlights.
Waves H-Reverb hybrid reverb plug-in fuses multiple technologies to give you more control than previously possible and provide a richer, deeper sounding reverb. Waves guru Todd Tatnall gives you an in-depth series explaining this awesome plug-in inside and out. After a general introduction to the series, Todd walks you through Installing and Authorizing the Software. Next, it’s right into Main Section, where you’ll learn about the Reverb and its Main Controls. Todd then dives into the Decay Envelope, Input, and Output Echoes, where you’ll discover how to Enhance Your Reverb Tail and use H-Reverb’s Echo Options. From there, Todd shows you the EQ and Filters available to you in H-Reverb. Moving on, Todd guides you through the use of Time Filters, how the various Dynamics and Global Settings effect the Reverb, and then concludes with The WavesSystem Toolbar, where Todd teaches you how to Store and Recall Your Settings in these plug-ins.
BARRAGE is the result of our quest to create not only a great collection of larger than life epic drum hits, but also allow you to decide exactly what elements these hits are comprised of! Our unique ENSEMBLE DESIGNER layout gives you total flexibility, allowing you to not only stack elements into giant hits, but also perform your own rhythm with ensemble hits, accents, low/sub elements, and sound designed hit tails in real time. On top of the ensemble content in BARRAGE, we have also included a wealth of single drums and expertly sound designed percussion!
Chaos Effects is a pack of two “chaotic” devices: Dedalus Delay – A real-time echoes maze generator, Stutter Switch – A complex rhythm gate. Both can be used to create unusual rhythmic textures, to heavily mangle the input sound or to subtly alter its characteristics. Dedalus Delay is a real-time audio mangler. A network of delay lines is continually granulated and modulated, producing a labyrinth of echoes, which are further processed by filters, dynamic processors and saturation modules. Dedalus can produce a wide variety of effects, from reverb-like ambiences to evolving resonations, from rhythmic pulsation to chaotic layering, from subtle chorusing to pure noise.
Outer Spaces is a versatile new audio processor that puts your sounds in beautiful spaces – but it goes way beyond your standard reverb. Create alien drones and endless echoes or completely transform timbres; it’s a multipurpose tool for extraordinary sound design. If you’re looking to get deep into creative options with reverb, or want to give your productions a distinctive aesthetic without combining a ton of plugins, this device will deliver. Its reverberation features let you sculpt anything from a snug room to a cavernous cathedral (or even that huge reverb sound with endless decay). On top of this, the device’s other audio processing options can be combined for radical sonic transformations.
