DR-Fusion - Drum Sampler / Synth.

Posted by TimmY VacoN @Live .ca on 5.6.10

Features:
  • 7 instruments with dual samples (kick, 2 snares, 2 percussion, hihat, ride and crash).
  • 2 instruments with dual samples into which the user can load samples.
  • 2 instruments with single sample slots (closed hihats, claps).
  • 2 synths for toms and kicks.
  • Pads (for auditioning).
  • LEDs (for monitoring).
  • Mute buttons.
  • 2 samples can be loaded into many of the instruments for layering (the second sample can be muted).
  • Over 560 samples built-in. The kick, snares, percussion and hihats each have over 120 samples available, there are 61 closed hihats, 30 ride and crashes, and 35 claps.
  • Each sample-based instrument has a comprehensive set of controls (many can be automated).
  • Tune (1 octave), octaves and volume controls for each sample.
  • Main volume, volume envelope (ADSR), pan.
  • Any one of four FX: Distortion, Filter, Bit Crusher and Clipper, each with their own controls.
  • 35 Drum kits presets.

Courvoisier - Dynamics (Compressor / Limiter)

Posted by TimmY VacoN @Live .ca on 5.6.10

Courvoisier is a single-band universal dynamics processor with adaptive attack and release algorithms optimized for complex program material (mixes and submixes). Courvoisier uses free-form curves drawn over the histogram of incoming audio material (as opposed to traditional ratio and threshold parameters) to determine the transfer function of the processing.
Features:
  • Histogram representation (sliding-window statistics) of incoming program material and gain change.
  • Free-form dynamics processing defined by curves.
  • All performance-critical code optimized in assembly (utilizing SSE2 flow instructions).
  • Very low harmonic distortion (THD during normal operation is below -105 dB FS).
  • Two different program dependent attack algorithms.
  • Two release algorithms (program dependent and user defined).
  • Side chain filtering (low and high pass filters).
  • M/S operation with optional side channel transfer function.
  • Stereo operation with adjustable stereo link.
  • Dry mix option for parallel processing.
  • Peak, RMS and Hybrid level detection options.
  • Look-ahead processing for minimizing distortion with extremely fast attack settings.
  • Complex mode (oversampling with a twist).
