Native Instruments B4 II

Native Instruments
Faithful recreation of the Hammond B3.

CLICK HERE TO BUY

The B4 is a tonewheel organ combo for stand alone or plugin use, and completely captures the sound of the classic B3 organ including rotating speakers. The B4 takes the popular tonewheel organ into new territory. Added flexibility in sound generation and seamless integration into the recording environment make this possibly the best organ since the original. The Native Instruments Synthesis Research Lab carried out a painstaking analysis of the electro-mechanical sound generation and tube circuitry of the best organ and speaker cabinet combinations. The resulting software model, based on the same NSP-technology as NI's award-winning Reaktor modular system, produces sound virtually indistinguishable from the original hardware. The flexibility of advanced software modeling makes possible a new degree of realism. Unlike a sample-based instrument, the NI B4 accurately models such subtle details as harmonic foldback, drawbar crosstalk and loudness robbing. The result is a warm and powerful sound over the entire range of the keyboard, complete with the subtle tonal shades that improve both playability and musicality. The B4 is capable of all the variations one expects from this type of organ, and is suitable for any flavor of music, be it Rock, Jazz or House. A "rear panel" gives access to numerous adjustment parameters, which allow the sound to be tailored for particular applications. You can even use the B4 to process other sounds. Just plug it in as a VST Insert Effect and apply any combination of Scanner Vibrato, Tube Overdrive and Rotating Speaker effect to your audio tracks. With an attractive and easy-to-use graphical user interface, this promises to be another must-have for anybody producing music on the computer. Tonewheels have never been this portable or this affordable.

ReCycle 2.1 has gone from tool to toolkit!

CLICK HERE TO BUY

Loops, grooves and breakbeats: Powerful sonic building blocks, and great inspirational triggers. No matter what style of music you’re into, you can be sure there’s a loop out there that can spice your track up a little, or even lift it to completely new heights. But handling loops and grooves equals hard work. Hours of pitching and stretching just to get a loop to fit your song’s tempo and timing. And if you need to change the key, you’re in for even more work. In the end, your loops are controlling you, instead of vice versa. But help is on its way. From Propellerhead Software comes a suite of programs that gives you full creative control over your looped material! Welcome to ReCycle 2.1 – The Ultimate Toolkit for Sampled Grooves. What does ReCycle do? ReCycle goes way beyond simply solving groove problems and cleaning up your loop act – it’s a highly creative tool that helps you make the most of your grooves. In simple terms, ReCycle lets you do with sampled loops what you can do with beats programmed from individual drum sounds – like alter the tempo, or replace sounds and process them individually. ReCycle turns concrete-rigid loops into musical modeling clay, allowing you, the loopist, to do pretty much what you desire. How is it done? Start out with a regular audio file or sample, preferably one of a rhythmic nature. Load the groove into ReCycle, and the program will “look” at the groove, analyze it, and break it up into its rhythmic components. Each part is called a “slice”. The process itself is fully automated, but once the slices are there, they are yours to move, audition or delete, using the programs on-screen tools and controls. Other tools allow you to set the length, attack and decay of the slices, and to change your grooves’ overall tempo or pitch, without one affecting the other! It’s not magic, but it’s probably as close as you can get. Then what? The next step is of course to bring your improved groove into one of your songs. At this point, the procedures differ depending on your equipment and preferred working method: If you like, you can use ReCycle simply as a problem solver for loops. Load a drum loop into ReCycle, set a new tempo or pitch, and save the results as a new file. Or load up any groove, and use ReCycle’s on-screen signal processors: Compressor, EQ and Transient Designer, to give it some punch and distinction. Anything you choose to do in ReCycle can be applied to your loop, and saved as a new file. To use your loop directly in Emagic Logic, Steinberg Cubase SX, Steinberg Nuendo or other audio sequencers supporting REX2 files, all you need to do is save your sliced-up loop as a REX2 file and import it onto an Audio Track in your sequencer. The imported loop will play back like the original, but now you can change the tempo freely, and you will have full control over the original slices! Silence, move or replace individual hits, change volume and panning – your loop has come to life! To use recycled loops directly in a REX2 compatible software sampler such as the NN-XT and Dr. Rex modules in Propellerhead Software’s Reason, Steinberg Halion or Emagic EXS24 (see full list below), just follow the same procedure: save your improved loop as a REX2 file containing the samples/slices, and open up the file from your sampler. Quantize it, change the tempo, retune or replace the sounds – Total Loop Control! ReCycle can also export sliced loops in a other popular formats such as SoundFont2 and SampleCell II formats, along with a MIDI file to play the exported loop back with it’s original timing.

Steinberg Nuendo 3 Software System

Steinberg
Nuendo Multimedia production software for PC.

CLICK HERE TO BUY

Nuendo is a 200 track recording facility complete with a 200 channel audio mixer including all you'll need for fully professional recording, editing and automated mixing. Whether your working on a film score doing post production, creating a musical masterpiece or surround sound design for a new video game, television show, or even a radio play, Nuendo has the tools to get the job done easier, and for a fraction of what you'd expect to pay. Nuendo won't bind your creative output with support for mono, stereo, or any surround format up to eight discrete channels deep. When it comes to what hardware to use we make it easy as Nuendo supports the ASIO standard audio driver format giving you literally hundreds of choices from a multitude of developers. A Device Setup dialog lets you configure video and audio drivers, external control surfaces, and many other useful parameters, or simply add new functionality to Nuendo as it becomes available. Nuendo's innovative use of editing tools and graphic user interface make it easy to optimize your daily workflow. The Project window is a fully object-orientated system allowing real-time placement of audio segments and video clips, whereas the Browser window allows for edit decision list style editing giving you the best of both ways of working. Add to this professional track sheet printing, 9 pin machine control, sample accurate synchronization and so much more, and it becomes clear that Nuendo offers an amazing amount of creative control over your ideas. For the highest available sound quality Nuendo uses state of the art precision 32 bit float algorithms throughout its signal path, plus up to 32-bit 96kHz recording and playback is available today as a standard feature. Any combination of mixer channels can be freely grouped, or sent to one or more of up to 64 Sub-Group channels offering an amazing amount of flexibility. Each channel in the Nuendo VST mixer has 4 band EQ, with 4 insert points for plug-in effects, plus 8 auxiliary sends and a Master section with up to 8 separate global plug-in effects. To make mixing even easier Nuendo gives you the choice to use key commands, or a mouse, for controlling the volume of selected mixer channels. You can bounce your final mix to disk in real-time or use Nuendo's off-line mix-down mode, which allows for using more channels than your present computer might allow, and for final mastering needs a suite of tools such as Apogee's UV22 Dither plug-in are included at no extra charge. Rest assured with Nuendo you will be able to meet or beat any deadline that might come your way. Though Nuendo is primarily an audio production tool, it has access to many of the best aspects of Steinberg MIDI technology. A comprehensive tempo editor is included offering a precise relationship between absolute time, sample frames, or tempo-based time-scales such as bars & beats. MIDI notes can be recorded, edited and displayed within all time domains, so whether you are spotting specific MIDI triggered sound effects with a sampler, or laying down musical passages, you can use the same familiar tool set as you would for audio editing. Nuendo allows for MIDI events to be routed to internal MIDI devices such as sending them to VST plug-ins, allowing for example the real-time remote control of effect parameters. Other internal devices that can receive MIDI-data are Virtual Studio Instruments which are output directly into the audio stream, and since these instruments run entirely without the need of dedicated DSP hardware they can take any form such as: emulated synths, virtual samplers, or vintage drum machines.
