Waves совместно с Aphex анонсировали выпуск [STRIKE]эксклитора[/STRIKE]:biggrin: иксайтера (наконец то!) Waves Aphex Vintage Aural Exciter.

Waves in association with Aphex, is set to release their modeled plug-in version of the original Aphex Aural Exciter. Here's their press release with the details...

Officially called the Waves Aphex Vintage Aural Exciter, the new plugin is based on one of two prototype tube-powered units developed by Aphex during the mid seventies. The Waves Aphex Vintage Aural Exciter modeled plugin delivers all the unique character of the rare original hardware unit, with all the advantages of software.

A true groundbreaker at the time, the original Aural Exciter traveled from studio to studio as an exclusive (and expensive) rental unit, bringing its distinctive sound to select sessions by leading recording artists. Highly regarded for its ability to increase and enhance presence, brightness, and detail on vocal tracks and masters alike, the Aural Exciter was even credited on popular albums by the likes of Jackson Browne, Linda Ronstadt and James Taylor, as a sort of hardware "session player."

Также заявлено о выходе 8-й версии плагинов, где будут заменены морды "классическим" плагам типа С1, Q10 и т.п., улучшена система управления пресетами, многоуровневая отмена, уже интегрированные пресеты от продюсеров и т.д., также плаги V-серии будут доступны в отдельных пакетах.

Waves is premiering V8, the new version of Waves plug-ins. Here's their press release with the details...

One of Version 8's most exciting highlights is that several classic plugins will be getting facelifts: L1 Ultramaximizer, S1 Stereo Imager, DeEsser, TrueVerb, Q10 Equalizer, C1 Compressor/Expander and AudioTrack will all feature a fresher, more up-to-date look. Version 8 also adds Waves V-Series plugins to selected Waves bundles, bringing the modeled sounds of the vintage 1066, 1073, 1081 and 2254 hardware units to more users than ever.

V8 also delivers an improved preset management system with in-host integration, multi-level Undo and easier navigation. In addition, presets created by Waves Artists like Dave Pensado, Ross Hogarth, Mike Hedges and Steve Lillywhite come pre-loaded into the plugins, for the ultimate in convenience.

Other developments include faster loading times, mouse-wheel control, improved metering in AudioSuite, Novation Automap SDK implementation and enhanced support for Avid Icon console EQ and dynamics sections. Last but not least, V8 marks the first time users can purchase the vast majority of Waves plugins individually, a la carte.

This instrument speaks to your imagination like no other. The beauty of the tone character is reflected in each composition. It’s enchanting, mysterious and mystical. Each time the concert Harp plays it brings orchestras, musical phrases and harmonic transitions to a creative peak.

The large concert harp is one of our most favourite instruments, and we had this project on the top of our wish list. So be assured we put in our best effort to capture this instrument in a sample library at the highest possible quality, as you have grown to expect from Sonokinetic.
The concert harp is a large and modern classical instrument, designed for classical (symphonic) music or played solo, as part of smaller chamber ensembles, and in cinematic orchestras.
It's widely used in symphonic cinematic composition from smaller project to the largest imaginable John Williams scores. With a wide harmonic range and diversity in performance styles this instrument is converted into a very flexible, easy to use but diverse sampled instrument. With “Arpeggio” Sonokinetic brings the epic power of the Concert harp to your fingertips with a wide variety of multi layered instruments spanning from portato / staccato played to legato , flageolet, picked, bisbigliando and the highly popular press-de-table. Tempo synced scale runs and glissandi in all major, minor, diminished and pentatonic keys. With an all exclusive “Arpeggio”- only collection of HarpFX patches and a mind blowing user interface this instrument will not let you down. It will inspire you and your productions to reach new heights

Techinical details

For your convenience, Arpeggio contains all the articulations you could ever need in a single NKI instrument. You can switch between the different playing styles either by clicking its name from the MAIN panel, or by pressing its respective keyswitch on your MIDI controller.

The large concert harp has an extensive playing range. As a trade-off, to preserve this range, the keyswitches default to keys outside the range of the average 88 key keyboard. However, the instrument can be completely customised to suit your needs and keyswitches can be reassigned. Simply click the respective articulation's key in the column and it will change to a '!' symbol and flash. You can now play a key on your keyboard and the keyswitch will assign to it. You can use this configuration method to suit the instrument to your needs.

Arpeggio was sampled to take advantage of Kontakt's ability to synchronise samples to your sequencer's tempo. When you select Glissandi as your current instrument, new options will appear to the right. You can click these options to change them.
TEMPO SYNC RUNS toggles the tempo sync functionality on and off. When you enable this option, all runs match your sequencers BPM to be 1 bar in length.
1 x HOST BPM allows you to configure how the tempo syncing scales to your sequencer's BPM. For example, 1/2 HOST BPM will result in a run being 2 bars in length. 2 x HOST BPM results in a bar being 1/2 bar in length.
SMART RELEASE is an option that simulates the damping of strings mid-run. When this is turned off, Arpeggio will play a prerecorded release sample. When it is turned on, Arpeggio will simulate the effect of the harp player damping the strings at that point in the run.

Arpeggio ships with built in Sonokinetic Soundstage convolution. This can be configured on the IR panel of the instrument. A visual representation of the sound stage appears on the left. You can change the position of the microphones by dragging then left and right with the mouse. Arpeggio will intelligently blend between convolutions, allowing you to configure the ambience and distance easily. You can also configure whether to use mono or stereo microphones on the right, configure the wetness and room size of the convolution and finally toggle whether it is bypassed.

The EQ panel allows you to shape the instrument. You are able to easily configure the frequencies, bandwidths and gains as required. Values will appear as you drag sliders.You can also completely bypass EQ

Mixosaurus Expert Virtual Drums обновились до версии 1.2

This Update adds nothing less than the two Snare Drums of the upcoming KIT B to the current KIT A package! A full 11 GB of MIXOQUALITY Sound and Expression, it contains the mighty 14"x6.5" TAMA Starclassic Bubinga Snare Drum (muffled version, with EVANS ST Dry / Hazy300 heads) and the ultimately crack-y 14"x4" TAMA Brass Snare Drum (no muffling, with Evans G1 / Hazy300 heads). These two drums perfectly compliment the original KIT A Snare, further extending the range of sounds in both the lower and the upper spectrum!
Есть демки.

Уже закачал. Пакет весит 1 гиг с лишним (как и с 7-й было на момент анонса). На сайте дикий перечень улучшений. Среди которых почему-то одно из главенствующих мест отдано рассказу о том "как мы классно заменили GUI для старых и любимых Вами плагинов!" (подозрение такое, что теперь они сразу перестанут быть "любимыми"). Завтра буду смотреть. :umnik2:
 
Новость от NI:

Syncersoft & Softrave TapeHarmonizer

TapeHarmonizer enriches sound with the creation of new harmonics using a unique psychoacoustic algorithm: cross-modulation of harmonic operators and imposition of new frequencies. This plug-in is based on the technology of enriching low and mid frequencies used in the BassBooster and GuitarBooster plug-ins with a Moog-style warm analog-like filter used in the TM - 200X synth (version 1.8).

The idea was to create an emulation of a professional Reel to Reel sound that can make your sound warm and analog-like but still clear and brilliant. With TapeHarmonizer you have control over 4 bands of frequencies. You can also play with the filter to emulate frequency response of tape, to create special old tape effects, that's why filter controls have MIDI learn. Or you can use this plug-in just as a phat analog-like filter.

This plug-in was inspired by psychoacoustic research of Shlejonkin Alexandr and Russian works on mathematical physics.

Сделан в Синтэдите, цена 44 евро

Voxengo AcuDrums drum sample library

http://www.voxengo.com/forum/ar/2589/

Voxengo is happy to announce the launch of a new sampling product line which extends the product offer of Voxengo brand beyond pro audio plug-in software.

Voxengo AcuDrums is a professional sound sample library that captures acoustical sound of various drum and cymbal instruments. The main idea behind AcuDrums library is to capture a maximally pristine and unprocessed contemporary drum kit sound. Library as a whole contains more than 8000 WAV files and takes more than 6 GB of disk space. Instruments of this library have multiple velocity layers with each velocity layer having 5 sample variations reducing the “machine gun” effect greatly.

Samples for Voxengo AcuDrums were recorded in Voxengo recording studio which has a deep, warm and diffuse sound with less than 200 milliseconds reverb time making it an excellent room for recording “dry”, maximally clear-sounding samples that are great for a further reverb processing.

The microphone placement that was used for sample recording reproduces a 3-dimensional sound stage. For example, the cymbal samples of this library while sounding “in your face” at high velocities sound airy and spacious at low velocities. Instruments of the library when combined together as a kit have a good spatial separation and placement: they will sound like they were placed on a sound stage, not like they are coming from the same position in space.

It is also important to note that during sampling the instruments were played by an experienced drummer making the recorded samples sound maximally close to how they would sound in an actual drumming performance.

AcuDrums library features:

Up to 16 velocity layers per instrument
5 sample variations per velocity layer
Several stick and beater types
Several zones per instrument
Prolonged decay
Hundreds of samples per instrument
44100 Hz 16-bit stereo samples
Stored in plain WAV sample files

Compatibility: Samples and instrument files of this library are compatible with Native Instruments Kontakt 3.5 and 4 (Kontakt Player is supported in demo mode only) and Cakewalk Session Drummer 2 and 3. NKI and SFZ instrument files of this library can be additionally loaded in various compatible samplers. Individual WAV files can be loaded in most samplers.

Samples of individual instruments can be purchased separately or in custom bundles (a discount may apply), with the prices currently ranging from USD 12.95 to USD 19.95 per instrument. Samples can be auditioned and purchased at the Voxengo web site: http://www.voxengo.com/group/drum-samples/
