VirSyn Newsletter 28/01

Dear Musician,

we are happy to announce the totally revised Version 2 of iVoxel and the release of Addictive microSynth 1.1 with support for AKAI SynthStation 25.

iVoxel - The Singing Vocoder

iVoxel is not only an amazingly sounding vocoder - the unique concept of iVoxel turns this vocoder into a singing machine. iVoxel is a combination of a voice optimized synthesizer and a vocoder. The vocoder part is based on the Matrix vocoder from VirSyn used by many famous artists - one of them the well known german group Kraftwerk. The channel filters used by iVoxel are based on the Sennheiser Vocoder VSM201 resulting in a rich and fat analogue sound characteristic.

The pitch follower and automatic tuning let you sing correct to a selectable scale.

See the new Version in action on this YouTube video...

New in version 2

Celluloid Beats. Celluloid Beats features an amazingly unique set of cinematic percussion loops suitable for filmscoring, game sound design, IDM and other electronic genres.

New Loop ReFill - Celluloid Beats

Nucleus SoundLab would like to introduce you to a brand-new ReFill exclusively built for Propellerhead Reason 6 - Celluloid Beats. Celluloid Beats features an amazingly unique set of cinematic percussion loops suitable for filmscoring, game sound design, IDM and other electronic genres. The loops inside have been specially processed using a proprietary additive vocoding techique to emphasize long, smooth decay stages. Beyond the high-quality loops themselves, Celluloid Beats is also the first ReFill in an innovative new series called Modular Grooves.

Modular Grooves ReFills are meant to provide musicians and producers with a infinitely configurable palette of loops. These loops sound great at virtually any tempo thanks to being sampled using Wide BPM technology - anywhere from 60bpm to 300bpm is fair game. There is no reason to be limited by the original tempo of a loop any more!

Each Combinator patch in a Celluloid Beats contains 8 loops - 1 original loop and 7 creative loop remixes. This is achieved by using the Slice Edit Mode on Dr. OctoRex to change filtering, decay, volume and more on a per-step basis for each loop. Going farther than that, unique FX are added to each patch which are used to effect specific loop slices - so each slice in a loop can have a different distortion, filtering or delay! The resulting loop remixes sound incredibly complex, but they certainly aren't complicated to use. A single Combinator Rotary switches between all 8 loops; and you can also easily dive into Dr. OctoRex to tweak any loop remix to taste! To help users understand the Modular Grooves technology and get the very most out of it, PDF documentation is included.

Celluloid Beats also comes packed with all its loops in raw REX2 format outside the ReFill itself at no additional charge. So users can easily load these loops into other sampler, such as Kontakt, Ableton Live, Battery and more without any hassles.

40 24-bit 44khz REX2 loops form the base of Celluloid Beats
280 loop remixes using all 8 loop slots on Dr. OctoRex
Each patch built exclusively for Reason 6
All REX2 loops included outside the ReFill, for use in other samplers
Detailed PDF documentation on the creation and operation of the ReFill

KORG microSAMPLER as a sound design tool

KORG microSAMPLER as a sound design tool
By Drew Spence

Mastery of one's own music production is a lifelong journey filled with growth and experimentation. We expand our understanding of the creative process as we acquire new skills, perfect techniques and build the toolset that makes this all possible. There comes a point where we want more control over the finer points of our music. Our concern grows beyond pattern, pitch and performance to include the subtleties of shaping sounds. As so, we become Sound Designers who care about how our music sounds, as well as the sound of our music.

As we look at the KORG m.i.c.r.o.SAMPLES Vol. I Drum Package, we’ll explore some of the ideas and steps involved in its creation. If you ask any group of producers where to get drum sounds, you’ll get the usual answers of this company or that company or this person’s site. Eventually someone goes back to the source and says SAMPLE. Whether it’s sampling vinyl or your own drum set, the sampler remains one of the strongest tools for sound design and the microSAMPLER is a very solid, fast, and affordable option.

Chopping Breaks
My old system involved recording the vinyl loop into my computer and using a second program to chop the samples into pieces and a third program to hold the samples for triggering back inside the first program. The microSAMPLER simplifies this by offering Key Gate mode sampling, which allows me to chop my loop at the initial capture point and split the individual elements along the keyboard. This leads to a consistent tone across all of the drum kit elements.

Layering Sounds
It’s no secret that layering sounds adds thickness or tonal variety, but the microSAMPLER’s key-based approach gives me greater flexibility than a groovebox or drum pad styled user interface. By having up to 36 elements at my finger tips, I can mix and match (and simultaneously trigger) a greater portion of my sound library. I used the MS-1 to combine several elements to make one composite hit, then re-sampled that and made the heaviest drum sounds.

Field Recorder
When I saw the microphone on the microSAMPLER, I actually thought to myself: "Field Recorder." The battery operation and small size makes it a perfect companion for capturing the rhythmic sounds and the interesting textures that are all around us. I’ve always been quick to slide a sound effect – or an audio bit with an interesting tone or a sharp attack – in behind a snare to give it weight or a more distinctive character.

Internal Effects
Lastly are the effects. I usually reach for plug-ins and effects when I feel that something is wrong or needs help. When the effect engine is part of the tool itself, it becomes part of the creative process. I didn’t need to fully explore the KAOSS styled effects of the microSAMPLER since this package IS for microSAMPLER owners, but I have been using the various internal effects for other packages.

The sampler remains a powerful tool for sound design and the microSAMPLER makes many of the key tasks quick and easy to accomplish. If you do not have sampling an as option in your production or you need a faster more intuitive sampling experience then the microSAMPLER is an option you should consider.

MARTIN GUITAR TO UNVEIL 15 NEW INSTRUMENTS AT WINTER NAMM 2012

xodus phoenix — Sat, 17 Dec 2011 09:27:27 GMT

Nazareth, PA (NAMM, Booth 5454 Hall B) – December 16, 2011 – C. F. Martin & Co. (www.martinguitar.com) is bringing exciting new instruments to the 2012 Winter NAMM Show in Anaheim, California January 19-22. The iconic acoustic guitar-maker will unveil 15 innovative guitars and ukuleles that will enhance the brand’s already premiere line of instruments.

Attendees visiting the Martin Guitar booth (Booth 5454 Hall B) will be able to have the chance to preview the new releases that include: an expansion of the highly successful Performing Artist Series instruments, Custom Series, Road series, refinement of the D-18 model, and several new ukulele models, spinning on the heels of the successful run of ukulele models revealed last year.

• DRS2- The latest of Martin’s hard-working, great sounding solid wood Road Series guitars, the new DRS2 delivers a unique blend of durability and concert-quality sound and projection. Constructed with solid Sapele back and sides and Sitka spruce top, the DRS2 is a serious working musician’s guitar built with an extra rigid Stratabond neck to withstand the rigors of touring. A Fishman® Sonitone sound reinforcement system completes this very road – and stage – worthy Martin. Includes a hardshell case.

(MSRP: $1099)

• DCPA5 and the GPCPA5 -Introducing our most affordable Performing Artist models. Available in both a Dreadnought and Grand Performance cutaway, both models include solid Sitka spruce top, koa patterned high pressure laminate (HPL) back and sides, High Performance™ Neck and Fishman F1 Analog electronics. Case available. (MSRP $1099)

• DCPA4 SIRIS and GPCPA4 SIRIS - With these two new Performing Artists guitars, Martin introduces an exciting new tonewood called Siris, adding even more tonal color and variety to the PA series. The DCPA4 Siris and the GPCPA4 Siris are 14-fret cutaway guitars, and have fast, comfortable Performing Artist profile necks, Hybrid "X" scalloped top bracing, black Richlite fingerboards and bridges and Fishman F1 Analog onboard electronics. Case included. (MSRP: $1849)

• GPCPA4 Sapele – Martin Guitar has been a leader in sourcing alternative wood species for over two decades and the company’s continued commitment to responsible guitar building will be on display at this year’s show. The GPCPA4 Sapele features FSC® Certified Recycled Sitka Spruce reclaimed from dismantled Canadian bridges and is finished with a polished gloss top. Includes Fishman F1 Analog electronics and a hardshell case. (MSRP: $1799)

• DCPA1 Madagascar Rosewood and GPCPA1 Madagascar Rosewood – These dovetail models push the envelope of Martin’s high end instruments, with solid Adirondack Spruce top, solid Madagascar Rosewood back and sides, Golden Era® bracing, pearl accents and Fishman F1 Aura + electronics featuring Easy Mode. The guitar is available in Dreadnought and Grand Performance sizes, each with a gray Geib style case. (MSRP: $6499)

• CS-D18-12- Inspired by a 1929 Ditson 111 that resides in the C.F. Martin museum, the CS-D18-12 is a 12 fret Dreadnought with a body constructed of mahogany reclaimed from rivers in Belize. Commonly referred to as “sinker mahogany,” these logs sank to the bottom of a river that was used to transport them and have been lost for over 100 years. Hot hide glue was used to construct these instruments which also boast a T-bar trussrod, slotted headstock and Adirondack spruce top. Also included on the CS-D18-12 and new for 2012 is the Custom Shop Thin Finish package. This nitrocellulose finish is 40% thinner than the standard C.F. Martin nitrocellulose finish. Only 75 of these instruments will be made for the world in 2012. (MSRP $6499)

• CS-D28-12- The CS-D28-12 is a gorgeous 14 fret Dreadnought highlighted by its Cocobolo back and sides, and Adirondack spruce top. Cocobolo is a rare and dense tonewood from Mexico that delivers beautiful bell-like tones. The custom model features two way trussrod, forward shifted and scalloped bracing along with herringbone trim. Also included on the CS-D28-12 and new for 2012 is the Custom Shop Thin Finish package. This nitrocellulose finish is 40% thinner than the standard C.F. Martin nitrocellulose finish. Only 125 of these instruments will be made for the world in 2012. (MRSP $6999, $7249 for sunburst)

Winter NAMM attendees will see the recently-announced The Mamas and The Papas Custom Artist Edition – a new 14-fret Dreadnought crafted of rare premium tonewoods. The top is made of Carpathian spruce, solid Madagascar rosewood on the back and sides, with a neck carved from genuine mahogany. An ebony head plate features The Mamas and The Papas’ silhouettes inlaid in solid mother of pearl directly above the nut. Each guitar is equipped with MSP7200 medium gauge phosphor bronze Martin SP Lifespan strings and will be limited to no more than 100 special instruments. (MSRP $4999)

Also on display at NAMM will be the company’s expanding and successful line of Martin SP® LIFESPAN™ acoustic strings. This will include the new 12 String, Baritone and two Extra Light offerings that were launched this fall. Introduced in the fall of 2010, Martin SP LIFESPAN is the fastest growing product in the acoustic string market.

To celebrate the great success of the INDIE ADpak and the INDIE Rock MIDI Pak we are giving away an extra Bass Drum we recorded at the same time as the INDIE ADpak.

This is a Ludwig Vistalite (Blue) 22 X 16" and it's recorded exactly as the ICE Custom Shop Bass Drum in the INDIE Kit. This Vistalite bass drum is slightly shorter and deeper in character than the ICE Custom Shop and it's actually the most used bass drum in this studio.

When we tried out drums in the studio for the INDIE ADpak we fell in love with the ICE Custom Shop kit but we were stunned by how great this Vistalite bass drum sounded so we just had to include it in the recording. It's rich, fat and punchy and right now ladies and gentlemen it's for FREE!

"I am also loving X1 Expanded. The FX Chains presets have been put together very well. They are a great starting point and extremely tweakable plus automation seems to work seamlessly. The browser changes have really helped my workflow."

"Things have been running solid. ProChannel sounds good, and a lot of tools are right at hand."

"Expanded is wonderful, and ProChannel is scrollable, has great features now, and I couldn't be happier with SONAR."

"The Softube is a great tool. I just used it on a few songs already. The ability to control the targeted frequency range makes all the difference."

"It's a pretty cool addition to X1 and I'm liking it. And the entire software seems to be running as smooth as ever on my system."

"First impressions - very nice."
