PatchArena to host Project 5 User Content!
Audio Hardware and Software News - Cakewalk

 PatchArena will be hosting all (1.5+GB) of the old original Cakewalk Project 5 user contributed content.  In May Cakewalk announced that Project5 Development was Ending they have built a very nice support resource page that can be found here: http://www.cakewalk.com/Support/Project5/Default.aspx. We look forward to see how Cakewalk utilizes the work flow of Project 5 into their future products.   

Over the course of the next few weeks we'll be adding the content to the PatchArena database.  Those looking for Project 5 nostagia, look no further.

Audio Hardware and Software News - Voxengo

PHA-979

 

Voxengo PHA-979 version 2.1 update is now available for
download.  Voxengo PHA-979 is a track phase and time alignment audio
plug-in, available in AudioUnit and VST plug-in formats, for Mac OS X,
Windows XP and Windows Vista computers.

Version 2.1 update implements a very useful feature - multi-band
correlation meter that greatly simplifies phase- and time-aligning
process.  You may routinely use the correlation meter to configure
delay and phase parameters with a highest level of precision possible.
 Correlometer also supports an external side-chain input.

Other changes:

   * Crash problem fixed with non-center panning setting.
   * Delay and phase dimming problem fixed.
   * Latency change reporting fixed in AudioUnits.

PHA-979 features:

   * Arbitrary signal phase control
   * Linear-phase design
   * Multi-band correlation meter
   * Positive/negative time delaying
   * Delay time calculator
   * Mid/side channel balance control
   * Stereo output panning
   * Stereo and mono processing
   * 64-bit floating point processing
   * Preset manager
   * Undo/redo history
   * A/B comparisons
   * Contextual hint messages

The introductory price offer of US$69.95 is still effective.  The
offer ends on the 9th of June 2009 (less than two weeks left).  Demo
version of Voxengo PHA-979 can be downloaded at the Voxengo web site:

FabFilter releases FabFilter Timeless 2 delay plug-in



AMSTERDAM, The Netherlands, May 25, 2009. FabFilter has released
FabFilter Timeless 2, the successor to the original Timeless delay
plug-in. New features such as mid/side processing together with
virtually unlimited modulation possibilities ensure that Timeless 2 will
warp and mangle your sounds more enthusiastically than ever. At the same
time, the streamlined "what-you-use-is-what-you-see" interface makes it
even more of a pleasure to use for everyday delay tasks. More than 300
new and improved factory presets will get you started right away.

At the heart of FabFilter Timeless 2 are two perfectly modeled delay
lines and two high-quality multi-mode filters. This solid foundation is
surrounded by comprehensive feedback options together with many other
creative features such as phase inversion, freeze, and mid/side
processing. Finally, the powerful modulation system makes it easy to
modulate almost any setting by a practically unlimited number of
modulation sources, from XY controllers and programmable step sequencers
to any type of MIDI data. Timeless 2 can do anything from basic stereo
delays to incredible sound-mangling effects, scratching, chorus, echo,
flanger, phasing and much more!

The improved interface makes FabFilter Timeless 2 very easy and friendly
to use. All delay parameters and the main filter settings are displayed
in a clean and uncluttered way, showing you instantly what's going on.
At any time, you can add new modulation sources or remove unused ones.
Almost any parameter is a modulation target: simply use drag-and-drop to
create modulation connections, which are conveniently grouped with the
modulation source. The interface always shows which parameters are
modulated and you can instantly view all related modulation sources and
slots. With Timeless 2's modulation system, it is easier than ever to
add modulation or to find out how a factory preset works.


Key features:

* Two independent delay lines with tap feature and host tempo
 synchronization with fully adjustable offset

* Classic perfectly modeled tape delay mode that changes the pitch when
 the delay time changes

* Unique time-stretch mode that speeds up or slows down the sound,
 keeping the pitch constant when the delay time changes

* Individual delay line panning

* Freeze button to keep repeating the current delay line buffer

* Two independent multi-mode filters with 11 different filter
 characteristics, based on FabFilter's unique digital filter technology

* Unique mid/side processing mode that lets you delay the mid and side
 signals independently for great stereo effects

* Clean and uncluttered interface that only displays the components that
 are actually in use

* Drag-and-drop modulation system that lets you modulate almost any
 setting with the following modulation sources:

* Up to 4 XY controllers

* Up to 6 XLFOs offering everything from classic LFO shapes to 16-step
 programmable step sequencers, per-step glide with adjustable glide
 curve, "snap" option that locks steps to musical notes to create
 arpeggio-like sequences, modulatable phase offset, and much more

* Up to 6 envelope generators with graphic controllers, triggering on
 MIDI, the main input, or the side chain input

* Up to 4 envelope followers, triggering on main input or the side chain
 input

* Up to 10 MIDI sources that let you use any type of MIDI data as a
 modulation source

* More than 300 new and improved factory presets

* The usual FabFilter goodies: perfectly fine-tuned knobs and
 controllers, section presets, interactive MIDI Learn, undo/redo and
 A/B switch, Smart Parameter Interpolation for smooth parameter
 transitions, an extensive help file with interactive help hints,
 sample accurate automation, AltiVec and SSE optimization and much more

Simon Cann has released an excellent video series "Synthesizer Boot Camp".

 
 Synthesizer Boot Camp is a series of videos which looks at specific synthesizer techniques that can be applied in creating sounds. This first video looks at modulation.  You can find out more about the series at http://noisesculpture.com/bootcamp.html, and check out http://noisesculpture.com/books.html to read more about synthesis.
