STS-33 - Space Transition Synthesizer

Posted by TimmY VacoN @Live .ca on 31.3.09

for Pads, Textures, Soundscapes, Athmospherics & more

This synthesizer is featuring Wave-Transition method for absolute unique atmospheres, soundscapes, pads & textures.

A very straight userinterface with 10 "Lazy"-Buttons for randomizing different sets of parameters so programming this
synthesizer is incredibly easy. The Transition method plus the new Super modulation X/Y control pad add a stunning
new dimension and motion for an evolving sound changing completely it's characteristics.

The basic features:

New: Super Modulation X/Y Control Pad to modulate up to 8 destinations simultaneuosly!

New: Step Modulator - even driven by keystroke on non legato play

New: Enhanced LFO Section with 6 LFO and SH&H with 5 being syncable to keystroke

New: Frequency Split - have lower fequencies to midposition (enhancing bass!) while the freqs. above can be panned

four digital PCM-wave oscillators powered by 128 selectable waveforms

two resonant filters (24db Lowpass and 12 db Highpass)

three ADSR-style envelope generators

two output channels (F & D) with LoBoost, Saturate, Delay (+ modulation) and Pan to stereo sum

10 dedicated Lazy buttons

The Pro version incorporates loading of soundfonts (SF2) & wavefiles (up to 24 Bit), and
comes with a 2nd soundset comprising a 2nd waveset of 128 new waves plus further patchbank.

The Pro lite version is basically the Pro version minus the 2nd soundset.

MOPAR

Posted by TimmY VacoN @Live .ca on 29.3.09

Mopar combines a phase distorsion oscillator whith a soundfont oscillator to produce cool pads or more ..

Osc1 has 8 waveforms (saw, square, pulse, double sine, saw-pulse, reso 1, reso 2 and reso3). These are the waveforms you obtain when the modulation level is at its maximum. At its minimum, the oscillator produce a sine wave. The modulation level can be modulated by a filter and by the LFO. Osc2 has 6 waveforms (choir, brass, accordion, organ, dream and strings). Mopar has a polyphony of 4 or 8 voices, receive midi data on channels 1 to 16, , has pitchbend and velocity sensitivity, Mopar responds also to those midi CC :  CC01 : raise the Modulation level. Mopar comes with 16 cool internal presets. These presets are also available as a standard VST bank file : "Mopar bank 0.fxb" (in the zip file with the dll).

VINYL

Posted by TimmY VacoN @Live .ca on 24.3.09

64-bit processing and advanced filtering,

modeling and resampling

to create authentic "vinyl" simulation,

It features the following characteristics:

*Mechanical Noise - The amount of turntable motor rumble and noise
*Electrical Noise - Internally generated electrical noise, such as 60 Hz grounding hum
*Wear - Control how worn out the record is, from brand new to played a few thousand times
*Dust - The amount of dust on the record
*Scratch - The number and depth of scratches on the record
*Warp - The amount of warping and the warp shape for the record - from no warp to the edges totally melted and warped
*Record Player Year - The year of the record player - from current linear tracking turntables to 1930 phonographs
*Stereo/Mono - Switch between stereo and mono output
*Input and Output Gain - Set the gain in and out of the effect with visual level meter feedback

EVE ONE

Posted by TimmY VacoN @Live .ca on 22.3.09

EVE ONE is a sample-based synthesizer designed to reproduce vintage electronic sounds and is the easiest and quickest way to take advantage of the DashSound library. A free version with a reduced sample library is also available.
EVE ONE is one of the most powerful and simple virtual instrument ever created aimed to reproduce vintage sounds. EVE One has been designed to provide you a high sound quality, thanks to the industry standard vintage sample library available for EVE, a very low CPU overhead and an extremely easy to set-up instruments.

By: DASHSignature

EVE ONE has been designed by experienced musicians and software developers, to provide the playability of an hardware synthesizer supporting natively the expression pedal, the after-touch and the modulation wheel controls, and giving the maximum efficiency and the maximum sound quality at the same time!

One of the most amazing features of this synthesizer is, aside the sound quality of the DashSound library, is the power of setting up the instruments in seconds.
Sometimes musicians and producers require a very well known sound, and browsing through thousand of presets is a painful process. Despite its simplicity EVE ONE can be set-up in seconds by selecting the sound you want and the sampler set-up using the SoundWizard feature.

The SoundWizard simply sets up all the parameters of the insturment in one click to approximate the sound you want, and then with some minor adjustments you will get the right sound! Sounds too easy? It is!
EVE One is more than a sample player. It offers a dedicated DSP section containing several vintage sounding effects such as a multimode overdrive/bit degrader, a 4 stages phaser, a tremolo and an a musically tuned multimode echo unit.

BLOCKFISH

Posted by TimmY VacoN @Live .ca on 20.3.09

	BLOCKFISH is a versatile compressor with countless ways to shape the incoming audio. Unlike many other digital compressors, BLOCKFISH has 'soul'. It likes to bite, but it can be tamed easily once you've learned how to use its potential.
	You can remove the front plate and make further adjustments on the circuit board. Everything is possible: clean, transparent, loud, punchy, silky, subtle, fat. But still with a unique sonic character. BY:

MOTION

Posted by TimmY VacoN @Live .ca on 18.3.09

The basic idea behind this synthesizer,

as it's name suggests,

is to offer a wide variety of ways to create automated motion of the synth's sound.

This is achieved by the use of 4 envelopes, 8 LFOs, three 16 step CV sequencers,

and a filtered delay module...

all of which can sync to your host's midi clock.

Motion's tone is kind of odd. I feel it's somewhere between analog, digital, and perhaps C64.

Specs:
2 Oscillators (PD and VA)
2 Multi Mode Resonant Filters
2 Waveshapers
2 Detuners
FM and Sync
4 Envelopes
8 LFOs (17 destinations)
16 Step Pitch Sequencer.
16 Step Filter Sequencer
16 Step Gate Sequence.
Digital Delay with its own LP Filter
Midi Sync for all movement

DECONSTRUCTOR

Posted by TimmY VacoN @Live .ca on 10.3.09

Deconstructor takes your input signal, splits it into 8 equal pieces and lets you then determine how these pieces should be arranged and processed. While the algorithm itself is pretty simple,

a broad variety of "classic" effects can be reproduced in a very simple way,

for example Pitchshifting, Autopanner, Tremolo, Delay, Simple Reverb, Simple Vocoder, and so on ..

But don't forget that its true power lies in the combination of different processing methods to produce new, strange and sometimes very exciting effects: mangle your drumloops into something completely different, transform voices into a cacophony, let your rhythms shake!

Price: Free

Difficulty: medium

CPU: medium

Deconstructor Pro ($50) offers the following additional features and advantages:
* 2 additional filters (Screamer and BitCrusher)
* 2 additional effects (Robotize and Chorus)
* Full MIDI control: control ANY slider with ANY MIDI CC
* MIDI learn mode: unknown incoming CCs can be mapped to sliders
* Trigger slots with MIDI note on/off commands
* An additional VSTi version: an instrument with support for loading WAV files, ideal for loops
* More preset banks
* Optimized performance in both versions
* Enhanced user support, every problem will be tried to solve as quickly as possible
* Special preview/beta/freeware/offers available for registered users

Wide BoY v1.15

Posted by TimmY VacoN @Live .ca on 9.3.09

Wide Boy by Elevayta

Wide Boy is a stereo enhancer insert and mastering effect.

Unlike most other stereo enhancers,

Wide Boy uses the fact that low frequencies are less directional than higher frequencies.

By separating out the two frequency bands, and selectively applying different processing to Bass and Treble, Wide Boy realizes a wider stereo sound without losing the punch of the bass.

The parameter range and flexibility also provides the possibility to generate a number of interesting additional effects.

Features
* 'Spatial Delay' up to 66 m (now expressed in metres).
* Selective widening of two spectral partitions.
* User control over spectral partitioning via 'Spectral Pivot'.
* In V1.15 I have made further improvements and optimizations in the algorithm.
* Independent control of Bass spatial position and gain.
* 5 Presets.

System Requirements
* Windows 98 or any later Windows OS.
* About 1 MB of harddisk space.
* 1+ GHz processor.
* Audio application supporting VST plug-ins.

Difficulty: medium
