Whether you’re a producer on the go or in your bedroom, your setup is always evolving. But in every setup, one thing stays constant: your laptop keyboard. What if, your laptop keyboard could transform into a powerful rhythm machine? Well, no more tedious sequencing—perform striking rhythms by switching between patterns, on the fly using just your laptop keyboard.
DIVA – Dinosaur Impersonating Virtual Analogue Synthesizer. The oscillators, filters and envelopes closely model components found in some of the great monophonic and polyphonic synthesizers of yesteryear. Modules can be mixed and matched so you can build hybrids, but what sets DIVA apart is the sheer authenticity of the analogue sound. This comes at the cost of quite a high CPU-hit, but we think it was worth it: Diva is the first native software synth that applies methods from industrial circuit simulators (e.g. PSpice) in realtime. The behaviour of zero-delay-feedback filters when pushed to the limit clearly demonstrates the advantages of this groundbreaking approach.
What are the sounds that come to your mind when you think of the 1980s? Cheesy pop music? Big synths, punchy digital drums and lots of gated reverb? Exactly. Those style elements have been re-discovered by contemporary producers and in genres like Synthwave. VICE comes with everything you need to create drum tracks for anything from authentic ’80s to Synthwave. Comes with 10 drum kits, 12 smart-mix presets and easy access to all the effects you need to make punchy digital drums with legit ’80s vibes.
Augmented STRINGS Intro incorporates rich multi-sampled string sounds with state-of-theart synthesis combining them in an approachable, exciting software instrument. This will give modern producers immediate access to a comprehensive range of authentic, abstract, and evocative string sounds.
When it comes to popular music, the standards are quite high. World-class recording engineers track the most talented drummers in the shiniest of studios. Yet today’s top charts all have two things in common: infectious drum grooves and punchy drums, processed to perfection.
The oberhausen draws deep extensive experience of working with analog audio equipment to creatively craft world class mixing and mastering plugins. As the cutting-edge company’s highly-anticipated first Virtual Instrument, it effectively revisits an acclaimed analog synthesizer expander module much loved by generations of musicians for its sought-after sound. The sound itself is reliant on fully-analog, discrete circuits and a classic state-variable 2-pole filter. Some of the key features which have never been done before on this synth is a powerful unison mode, M/S Technology.
HEAVY’s drum kits were recorded with great attention to detail and love for the genre’s specialities. We recorded real drummers’ performances on a delicate selection of sought-after instruments, selected fitting recording rooms with prime acoustical space, and employed only the finest microphones, outboard gear and mixing equipment.
