<p>Last year, Roger Linn Design released <a href="http://www.macosxaudio.com/front/2009/11/introducing-adrenalinn-sync/">AdrenaLinn Sync</a>, a software plug-in that provides the same unique beat-synced filter modulation and sequencing effects of the AdrenaLinn III guitar pedal, plus quite a bit more. Now they have released <strong><a href="http://www.rogerlinndesign.com/products/adrenalinnsync/">AdrenaLinn Sync Version 2</a></strong>, a completely rewritten and dramatic improvement over the original. And it&#8217;s free to all purchasers of the original version.</p>
<p><span id="more-2408"></span><strong>AdrenaLinn Sync Version 2</strong> is written in conjunction with Way Out Ware, makers of TimeWArp2600 and KikAxxe, critically-acclaimed emulations of vintage Arp analog synthesizers. Version 2 takes advantage of Way Out Ware&#8217;s flawless analog-modeled filters and audio processing technology, resulting in a very wide variety of truly exciting, unique and inspiring sounds.</p>
<p>With <strong>AdrenaLinn Sync Version 2</strong>, all the special capabilities of AdrenaLinn Sync—simultaneous filter/volume/pan modulation, Snap To Scale, randomness probability controls, tube-modeled distortion, 8 bar stereo delay with delay loops, noise beats, synth loops and more—really shine.</p>

</span></p>
<p>Key changes in <strong>AdrenaLinn Sync Version 2</strong>:</p>
<ul>
<li>Vastly improved Filters: Warm, full &amp; accurate analog-modeled Lowpass, Bandpass, Highpass, Flanger and Phaser, created in collaboration with Way Out Ware, makers of the highly-acclaimed software emulations of vintage Arp synthesizers, TimeWArp 2600 and KikAxxe. The quality and variety of both conventional and unusual tones is remarkable.</li>
<li>Completely rewritten to replace Cycling 74&#8217;s Pluggo technology. This adds compatibility with all DAWs including Cubase and also Ableton Live while running Max For Live.</li>
<li>A sexy—but very functional—new look, rendered in true 3D to emulate the look of AdrenaLinn III&#8217;s knobs, buttons and panel.</li>
<li>All new presets—beautiful and inspiring—that truly show off the new sound capabilities.</li>
</ul>
<p>The Mac AU/VST version of <strong>AdrenaLinn Sync Version 2</strong> is available now, with Mac RTAS and Windows VST/RTAS coming soon.</p>
<p><strong>AdrenaLinn Sync Version 2</strong> may be purchased online, directly from Roger Linn Design, for $99. Owners of the original version will receive an email this week containing a free upgrade to version 2.</p>

<p>Alessandro Petrolati (Ape) has released <strong><a href="http://www.densitygs.com/">Density</a></strong>, a new interactive real-time program for asynchronous granular synthesis sound file granulation. <strong>Density</strong> generates a wide range of effects: time/pitch shifting, pitch disintegration, time jittering, sound pulverizer, scrub pad exploration, dynamic envelope drawing and more. Interpolation transitions and Hyper Vectorials pads provide a powerful way to generate incredible sound objects. All parameters are controllable via MIDI learning/rescale.</p>
<p><span id="more-2389"></span>The groundwork for <strong>Density</strong>, which dates back to 2001, was developed using the Csound programming language. It was based on GSC4 (Granular Synthesis for Csound) by Eugenio Giordani, which was the first patch for granular synthesis on Csound to implement the model proposed by Barry Truax. The current <strong>Density</strong> implementation based on Max/Msp allows a dynamic generation of the grains, rather than a fixed number of &#8220;voices&#8221; (static). The maximum density achievable depends only on available CPU power.</p>

Audio Damage has announced the availability of Discord3, a comprehensive refresh of their popular Discord series of multi-effects. From subtle ADT effects to completely chaotic granular destruction, and everything in between, Discord3 is a capable and broad-reaching multi-effect plug-in.

<p>Audio Damage has announced the availability of <a href="http://www.audiodamage.com/effects/product.php?pid=AD025"><strong>Discord3</strong></a>, a comprehensive refresh of their popular Discord series of multi-effects. From subtle ADT effects to completely chaotic granular destruction, and everything in between, <strong>Discord3</strong> is a capable and broad-reaching multi-effect plug-in.</p>
<p><span id="more-2380"></span>The pitch-shifter consists of three separate algorithms: a &#8220;vintage&#8221; mode (the original Discord algorithm, modeled on the Eventide H910 and H949), a &#8220;clean&#8221; mode for more modern shifting sounds, and a &#8220;granular&#8221; mode for experimental effects. Each mode has its strengths, depending on the input material, and <strong>Discord3</strong> has a broad palette of capabilities as a result. The P1 and P2 algorithms have full control over the buffer (window) size of the shift effect, for fine tuning the shift to the input signal, or for stranger sound effects. At the extremes of the six-octave shift range, some truly strange aliasing and artifacts can be had with this control.</p>
<p>If you&#8217;re looking for a nice, clean diatonic pitch shifter for fine surgery and re-pitching the full program, this may not be for you. <strong>Discord3</strong> is a tool for sound design, barberpole shifting delays, and special effects. Think Eno, Visconti, Bowie, or Dirty Mind-era Prince and you&#8217;ll be on the right track.</p>
<p><strong>Discord3</strong> Features:</p>
<ul>
<li>Pitch Shifting — <strong>Discord3</strong> contains a pair of shifters with three separate algorithms (Vintage, Clean, and Granular) for different styles of pitch shifting.</li>
<li>Buffer Size Control — The P1 (Vintage) and P2 (Clean) algorithms have a Buffer Size control, from 32 to 2048 samples, for fine-tuning the pitch shifting effect.</li>
<li>Delay — Tempo-synced or free-running delays with feedback, cross-feedback, and a sophisticated bandpass filter.</li>
<li>Modulation — <strong>Discord3</strong> has a pair of LFOs that can modulate delay time, pitch shift amount, and filter center frequency.</li>
<li>True Stereo Operation — <strong>Discord3</strong> has a true stereo signal path, with entirely independent control over each side.</li>
<li>All New GUI — <strong>Discord3</strong> has a completely re-designed GUI, with animated displays and a unique &#8220;grab-the-digit&#8221; value adjustment method.</li>
<li>MIDI Note Control — Six octaves of pitch-shifting can be controlled with MIDI note input.</li>
<li>Full MIDI Learn — <strong>Discord3</strong> features MIDI learn for every parameter, for full hardware control.</li>
</ul>
<p>The Mac version of <strong>Discord3</strong> requires an Intel processor, OS X 10.5 or newer and an AU or VST 2.0 host. 64-bit versions will be available by mid-June.</p>
<p><strong>Discord3</strong> is available directly from Audio Damage for $59. If you already own Discord 1, 1.5, or 2, an <a href="http://www.audiodamage.com/xgrades/product.php?pid=AD025U">upgrade</a> is available for $10.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.audiodamage.com/effects/product.php?pid=AD025">www.audiodamage.com/effects/product.php?pid=AD025</a></p>

<p><span id="more-2361"></span>“This is a landmark release for Nuendo, introducing extremely valuable new functionality to what is probably the premiere native production platform for post, live and audio production,” comments Timo Wildenhain, Steinberg’s Product Marketing Manager for Nuendo. “These days, efficiency, stability and speed in everyday tasks are absolutely critical, as is the ability to adapt software to changing needs and situations. These goals are exactly what <strong>Nuendo 5</strong> has been designed to achieve, and have contributed to the overwhelmingly enthusiastic feedback from the first shows on the <strong>Nuendo 5</strong> World Tour, which has been amazing so far,” Wildenhain adds.</p>
<p>Among the new features presented in <strong>Nuendo 5</strong> is a new ADR toolset engineered for audio post, providing new capabilities for spotting including advanced take- and marker handling, EDL import, a new video engine and much more. Clip Packages have been designed specifically for sound editors as a new way of organizing and handling audio as clusters of files across multiple tracks that can be archived, previewed and retrieved almost instantly using the upgraded <strong>Nuendo 5</strong> MediaBay.</p>

</span></p>
<p>Enhanced mixing features in <strong>Nuendo 5</strong> include further developments on the industry-leading Nuendo automation system as well as direct routing with multiple destinations. A new plug-in set with the next-generation Surround Panner and a surround bus Patch Editor further add to the advanced feature set for surround that have been the hallmark of the Nuendo audio engine since its inception. Numerous other additions in <strong>Nuendo 5</strong> include a waveform display in the Nuendo mixer, improved compatibility with Pro Tools audio files and automated Batch Export functions.</p>
<p><strong>Nuendo 5</strong> also integrates seamlessly with Steinberg’s Nuendo SyncStation synchronizer hardware, providing sample-accurate sync in almost any situation requiring rock-solid sync to almost any modern sync standard. <strong>Nuendo 5</strong> also features complete support for a range of controller devices such as Euphonix, WK Audio and the Smart AV Tango.</p>
<p>Supporting OS X 10.5.8 and 10.6 or later on Intel Macs, <strong>Nuendo 5</strong> will be available from authorized Steinberg dealers in June for €1799.00 / £1531.00 MSRP.</p>

<p>Softube has announced the availability of their Valley People <strong><a href="http://www.softube.com/valleypeople_dynamite.php">Dyna-mite</a></strong> emulation plug-in for VST, AU and RTAS hosts. <strong>Dyna-mite</strong> is a unique limiter/expander with options to do gating, ducking, keying and de-essing.</p>
<p><span id="more-2337"></span>The original <strong>Dyna-mite</strong> hardware was designed in the 80&#8217;s in an ambitious attempt to incorporate the knowledge of previous decades into one swiss army knife solution. From the design comes several innovations like the Valley People proprietary VCA and the Anticipatory Release Computation, which plays a big part in the unique sound of the <strong>Dyna-mite</strong>.</p>
<p>Today, the <strong>Dyna-mite</strong> is just as usable as back then, as a problem solver but also very much as a creative tool. Use it as a limiter to squash drums or to get the snap into a bass track. Use it as an expander to enhance the dynamics of a track. Use it in sidechain mode to duck or follow another track. Every application breathes of the <strong>Dyna-mite</strong>&#8217;s very special character and inspires to new sounds.</p>

Line 6, Inc. has released POD Farm 2 and POD Farm 2 Platinum, a pair of AU, RTAS and VST plug-ins built upon the foundations set by their predecessors to deliver extensive model counts, a simple yet powerful workflow and world-renowned POD tone for any digital audio workstation.
“The new plug-ins offer extensive updates and functionality <a href="http://www.macosxaudio.com/front/2010/04/line-6-introduces-pod-farm-2/" class="more-link">More &#62;</a>]]></description>
			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><a href="http://www.macosxaudio.com/front/wp-content/uploads/2010/04/In-Search-Of-rock-MA.jpg"><img class="aligncenter size-large wp-image-2258" title="In-Search-Of-rock-MA" src="http://www.macosxaudio.com/front/wp-content/uploads/2010/04/In-Search-Of-rock-MA-485x320.jpg" alt="" width="485" height="320" /></a></p>
<p>Line 6, Inc. has released <strong><a href="http://line6.com/podfarm/">POD Farm 2</a></strong> and <strong><a href="http://line6.com/podfarm/">POD Farm 2 Platinum</a></strong>, a pair of AU, RTAS and VST plug-ins built upon the foundations set by their predecessors to deliver extensive model counts, a simple yet powerful workflow and world-renowned POD tone for any digital audio workstation.</p>
<p><span id="more-2257"></span>“The new plug-ins offer extensive updates and functionality that recording guitarists have been asking for,” remarked Mike Murphy, Category Manager for POD and PC Products at Line 6. “Enhanced routing with flexible DSP, POD Farm Elements, and full MIDI support provide an experience that’s both powerful and intuitive.”</p>
<p>The enhanced routing with flexible DSP (digital signal processing) inspires creativity and allows for a broad range of tones. Users can build Dual Tones, which are dual signal chains that can be played separately or simultaneously. Dual Tones can include up to twenty effect models of any type placed in any order within the signal chain.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><object width="425" height="350"><param name="movie" value="kSU84XC0LOg"></param><param name="wmode" value="transparent" ></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/kSU84XC0LOg" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" wmode="transparent" width="425" height="350"></embed></object></p>
<p>Included with both <strong>POD Farm 2</strong> and <strong>POD Farm 2 Platinum</strong>, POD Farm Elements are additional plug-ins that contain POD Farm models grouped together by type. By providing access to single amp, preamp or effect models at a time, users can choose an exceptionally streamlined workflow and a modular approach to Line 6 modeling.</p>
<p>MIDI support offers complete control over <strong>POD Farm 2</strong> and <strong>POD Farm 2 Platinum</strong> via any MIDI controller, including Line 6 FBV MkII-series foot controllers. Intuitive MIDI Learn functionality makes it easy to configure remote control of all amp and effect parameters including model bypass, volume, mute, global tap tempo and more, including tone switching with the new virtual A/B/Y box.</p>
<p>The wide variety of models in <strong>POD Farm 2 Platinum</strong> (including 78 guitar amps—from boutique combos to high-gain stacks—24 cabs, 28 bass amps, 22 bass cabs, 97 effects and six crucial microphone preamps), and the distilled model set of <strong>POD Farm 2</strong>, deliver unparalleled ranges of tone. When the tonal variety couples with the refinements made to the sleek <strong>POD Farm 2</strong> interface, users can create rich, complex tone presets quickly and easily.</p>
<p>On the Mac, <strong>POD Farm 2</strong> and <strong>POD Farm 2 Platinum</strong> require OS X 10.4.6 or later running on a minimum 1.8 GHz dual G5 processor. Both plug-ins are available for use with either an iLok USB Smart Key or Line 6 hardware. A free 15-day trial version is available for download as well.</p>
<ul>
<li><strong>POD Farm 2</strong> for Line 6 hardware &#8211; $49</li>
<li><strong>POD Farm 2</strong> for iLok &#8211; $99</li>

<p>Ohm Force today announced <strong><a href="http://www.ohmstudio.com/">Ohm Studio</a></strong>, a standalone real-time collaborative music making application (DAW/sequencer) in addition to a web based collaboration platform and a music driven online &#8220;Cohmunity.&#8221; <strong>Ohm Studio</strong> will allow musicians to work with friends while sharing the same tools at the same time, as if they were together in the studio.</p>
<p><span id="more-2236"></span></p>
<p>With <strong>Ohm Studio</strong>, it will be possible to set up a productive workspace to make music together and with ease. No more big file transfers, no more endless setup incompatibilities. Collaborators will be able to communicate with each other thanks to the built-in chat system which makes it simple to share any thought, instruction or comment.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><object width="425" height="350"><param name="movie" value="s4eRu7iHR_I"></param><param name="wmode" value="transparent" ></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/s4eRu7iHR_I" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" wmode="transparent" width="425" height="350"></embed></object></p>
<p>When searching for partners, you will now be able to draw from a worldwide pool of musicians. The <strong>Ohm Studio</strong> Cohmunity will allow users to discover collaborative projects and find new people with whom to make music, searching by style, mood, skill, city, country and more. You may discover that the drummer or the singer you have always been looking for is only a few clicks away.</p>
<p><strong>Ohm Studio</strong> will also be an elegant tool to showcase your own work and skills, in order to be discovered and/or be invited into groups or sessions. Could it be that you have just the right profile those Brazilian guys need for their funky nu-soul project?</p>
<p>For those who have a traditional “local” band/project, made up of people from the same town who actually enjoy meeting and playing together, <strong>Ohm Studio</strong> will be a great way of expanding workflow, as the creation process will no longer be limited by the 2 hours they’re actually able to share the same physical place. Those great ideas which always seem to manifest the second one gets back from the studio will not be lost anymore. And the work will continue, even if Peter’s garage is not available for the next few weeks.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;">
<p style="text-align: center;"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-2246" style="margin-top: 16px; margin-bottom: 16px;" title="Cohmunity_search_results-517" src="http://www.macosxaudio.com/front/wp-content/uploads/2010/04/Cohmunity_search_results-517.jpg" alt="" width="517" height="404" /></p>
<p>The Cohmunity is the place where all <strong>Ohm Studio</strong> users will gather to find partners to make music with, view others profiles, create groups with others, share ideas on the forums or post projects mixdowns. Mixdowns can be posted on the group’s profile, as demos. In short, the Cohmunity will be a one stop place for collaborative work. It will be possible to access the <strong>Ohm Studio</strong> Cohmunity features from the application itself or from any web browser.</p>
<p><strong><span style="font-weight: normal;">Pricing has not yet been announced. </span>Ohm Studio</strong> should be available as beta testing wraps up by the end of 2010. You can request a spot in the limited beta via the link below.</p>

<p>Loomer has announced modular multi-effects plug-in <strong><a href="http://www.loomer.co.uk/sequent.htm">Sequent</a></strong>, the perfect tool for mangling audio on stage or in the studio. The effects, including a flexible beat looper and a pair of filters capable of self oscillation, can be connected in practically limitless combinations by simply dragging virtual cables between them.</p>
<p><span id="more-2129"></span><strong>Sequent</strong> has seven individual effect blocks: a Beat Looper; two Filters, both switchable between lowpass, bandpass, and highpass modes and capable of self oscillation even without an audio input; an oversampled Distortion unit; a Gate with variable depth and slew; a Panner; and a Delay unit capable of sub millisecond delay times, great for creating everything for from dub, slapback, and bouncing ball style echoes, to metallic comb filters or flanger effects.</p>
<p>Each effect parameter can be sequenced with one of twenty-two step sequencers, controlled live via a midi controller, or even left to chance by using the random mode. Sequences are combined into patterns which can be switched instantly between using either the on-screen interface or the notes on a midi keyboard.</p>

<p>DMGAudio is very pleased to announce <a href="http://www.dmgaudio.com/"><strong>EQuality</strong></a>, their debut EQ plug-in for AU and VST hosts. Developer Dave Gamble, with years of experience working for prestigious companies such as Focusrite, Sonalksis and Neyrinck, heads up this new venture which promises a unique style of EQ built from the ground up in both sound and workflow.</p>
<p><span id="more-2114"></span>Some software EQs are models of hardware. Some are workhorse EQs for surgical correction, or for guiding a track into a mix. Some are for mastering. <strong>EQuality</strong> is not a model of a specific piece of hardware. It aims to be a great replacement for all your EQs.</p>
<p>From the bottom up, DMGAudio promises that <strong>EQuality</strong> sounds as good as an EQ can sound. The prototypes are as close to the consistent analogue shapes as can be achieved digitally, without spending extra CPU. When you want to spend extra CPU to close the deal, you can do that too. So far, not many people have reported finding occasions where the difference is perceptible. This is intentional, and apparently one of the secrets that make <strong>EQuality</strong> different.</p>
<p>From the top-down, <strong>EQuality</strong> is designed to allow you to make it work the way you prefer. At every stage, DMGAudio has sought out any idiosyncrasies in the design, and replaced them with solutions that make sense, and with options to allow you to have things the way you need them.</p>
<p>In the middle, there&#8217;s functionality and flexibility. A lot of it.</p>
<p>Sound features</p>
<ul>
<li>New technology for generating EQ coefficients that gets you an undistorted, clear analogue-matched top-end</li>
<li>Linear phase processing</li>
<li>Analogue phase-matched processing</li>
<li>Bells and notches, with a +/-36dB range, and a Q range from 0.1 to 50</li>
<li>Shelves which let you move the resonance above or below the curve!</li>
<li>Filters at 6/12/18/24/30/36 db/octave, sweepable resonance</li>
<li>Extra hi-pass, so you can remove rumble on every channel without spending a band on it</li>
<li>M/S processing mode, allows you to process Mid, Side or the Stereo image</li>
<li>Adjustable gain-q interaction for &#8216;musical&#8217; usage</li>
</ul>
<p>Workflow features</p>
<ul>
<li>Three different UI modes, to suit your taste</li>
<li>Range control, to allow you to scale the gain of the EQ response with one control, both positively and negatively</li>
<li>Frequency shift, to allow you to retune the response</li>
<li>Large, configurable spectrum-analyser with readout</li>
<li>Configurable VU, supporting K-metering and variable ballistics</li>
<li>8 banks of A/B</li>
<li>Full preset management system</li>
<li>Undo/redo</li>
<li>Autolisten mode, for quick finding/adjustment of frequencies</li>
<li>Flat button on UI for rapid reset</li>
<li>Clip LED</li>
</ul>
<p>On the Mac, <strong>EQuality</strong> requires OS X 10.4, 10.5 or 10.6 running on a G4, G5 or Intel Mac, and a host that supports AU, VST or VST3 plug-ins.</p>
<p><strong>EQuality</strong> is available via direct download from DMGAudio for £74.99 (around $115 at publishing time). A free demo download is available as well.</p>

<p>Universal Audio has announced the release of the highly anticipated <strong><a href="http://www.uaudio.com/products/software/manley/index.html">Manley Massive Passive EQ</a></strong> plug-in. Working with Manley Labs, Universal Audio’s <strong>Massive Passive EQ</strong> plug-in represents the most ambitious hardware EQ modeling project to date, bringing UAD-2 users both the standard and mastering versions of this world-renowned EQ in one package.</p>
<p><span id="more-2099"></span>The two-channel, four-band <strong>Manley Massive Passive EQ</strong> utilizes design strengths from choice console, graphic, parametric and Pultec EQs — delivering a fundamentally different EQ that’s beyond compare. The <strong>Massive Passive’s</strong> natural treatment of a signal lends itself to both radical tonal shaping as well as delicate vocal shading or subtle mastering enhancement.</p>
<p>“The <strong>Massive Passive EQ</strong> is one of our best-known products. We didn’t even want to entertain the idea of doing a plug-in unless it was really going to be done right,” commented EveAnna Manley, Owner, Manley Laboratories, Inc. “Our expectations were high for the plug-in emulation to be spot-on. Working with Universal Audio, we believe they’ve totally nailed it.”</p>
<p>The <strong>Manley Massive Passive EQ</strong> Powered Plug-In features include:</p>
<ul>
<li>Highly coveted 2-channel, 4-band, passive, tube EQ emulation plug-in, both standard and mastering versions</li>
<li>Painstakingly modeled over a six month period and rigorously scrutinized by Manley Labs for authenticity</li>
<li>Filter curves, band interdependencies, distortion and hysteretic behavior all represented in plug-in — yielding a unique, very musical and “open” sound</li>
</ul>
<p>“The <strong>Massive Passive</strong> is truly the ultimate in mastering grade EQs. It sounds warm without ever being dull; it stays precise while remaining highly musical,” offered UAD Powered Plug-Ins Product Manager, Will Shanks.</p>
<p>&#8220;Manley Labs represents quality, sonic excellence and unequivocal analog design expertise,&#8221; enthused Matt Ward, President of Universal Audio. &#8220;There has always been a special affinity between our companies, and we are elated to have EveAnna Manley joining us a plug-in partner for the UAD-2 platform.&#8221;</p>
<p>The <strong>Manley Massive Passive EQ</strong> plug-in is available for purchase via UA’s Online Store for $299. It is part of the new UAD Software v5.6.0 release, in addition to <a href="http://www.macosxaudio.com/front/2010/03/universal-audio-issues-emt-140-plate-reverb-for-uad/">The EMT 140 Classic Plate Reverb</a>, and the Precision Enhancer Hz plug-ins. UAD Software v5.6.0 is available as a FREE download to Mac and PC users worldwide.</p>
