Voxengo CurveEQ 3.0 spline equalizer plugin released

Voxengo is pleased to announce the release of CurveEQ version 3, a spline equalizer plugin for
professional music and audio production applications, available in AudioUnit and VST plug-in formats
(including native 64-bit support), for Mac OS X (v10.5 and later), and Windows computers.

CurveEQ shows you the actual filter response you are designing by means of a spline (a smooth curvy
line), so you can actually see what the EQ is doing with the sound. This, in turn, allows you to get the
best from your mix and your tracks. CurveEQ perfectly suits the needs of mastering, and in some cases
CurveEQ is suitable for use as an in-track equalizer.

CurveEQ implements spectrum matching technology that allows you to transfer spectrum's shape of one
recording to another. In other words, this allows you to “copy” frequency balance of existing time-proven
mixes so that other mixes that are still in the works may have a chance to sound better. This technology
also greatly helps in music mastering since using it allows you to easily lessen any dramatic differences
in the area of frequency balance between various tracks.

CurveEQ's filters can be switched between linear- and minimum-phase modes. CurveEQ also features a
deeply-customizable spectrum analyzer like the one found in Voxengo GlissEQ and SPAN plug-ins. You
may also display, save and load static spectrum plots for comparison and matching purposes.

CurveEQ features:



CurveEQ 3.0 added the following features since version 2 (version 3 can be used in projects alongside
version 2):



Introductory price of USD 79.95 will be effective for three weeks from now, which is 20% off the regular
price of USD 99.95. Upgrading from the previous version costs USD 39.95 if previous version was
purchased earlier than 180 days from now: otherwise the upgrade is free during this grace period. Demo
version of CurveEQ can be downloaded freely at the Voxengo web site.

XILS-lab launches Le Masque: Delay

Music software company XILS-lab is proud to announce availability of its first effects plug-in — in collaboration with Le Lotus Bleu (Laurent Bourgeon) — on January 10, 2012...

Available in 64- and 32-bit versions, Le Masque: Delay is a Mac (OS X 10.4 and later; Audio Unit, VST, RTAS — Pro Tools 7.0 and later) and PC (Windows XP, Vista, and 7; VST, RTAS — Pro Tools 7.0 and later) compatible, polymorphic timeline-driven delay effects plug-in; it can behave like a regular digital delay, and inherits XILS-lab's renowned filtering and audio effects technology, featured in the cutting-edge company's lengthening line of virtual analogue soft synth plug-ins — PolyKB II (based on the RSF Polykobol II, plus extras), XILS 3 (based on the EMS VCS3, plus extras), and Synthix (Elka Synthex, and extras), and draws upon an accumulated wealth of research and development experience to allow users to speedily and intuitively perform hitherto unheard of delay-based effects.

So how, exactly, does Le Masque: Delay work, then? In a nutshell, it lets users accurately specify the part(s) of the dry signal — based on their time position and/or frequency content — that will be processed by the delay itself (accessed from within the GRID view); its associated LFO, envelope, and filter components (via the LFO & ENVELOPE view); and various modulators (within the TIME & MOD view) — masked zones within the grid area are processed by the delay while any audio data outside those masked zones remains untouched, in other words!

A mask — to which Le Masque: Delay owes its 'nom de plume' — is defined by its two locators: the left locator specifies the start point, the right its end; when the current transport locator enters a mask, the audio is sent through a full modulated filter into an accurate, fat-sounding delay. Unlike some other delays, the filter section is a crucial part of Le Masque: Delay — it uses XILS-lab's renowned warm and smooth analogue filter models' surgical-like precision to perform delicate musicals tasks, such as extracting and modifying existing parts of a drum loop (or any other loop), or transforming delayed kick drums into Simmons toms, for example. The delay area offers five dual-concentric knobs to control the delay settings (left and right FEEDBACK TIME, DRY/WET GAIN, and left and right PAN LEVEL), together with a synthesiser-type modulation wheel, while the LFO and ENVELOPE settlings can modulate the filter frequency and volume applied to the signal entering the delay.

Users can create up to eight independent masks (or zones) in the grid, each with different lengths, quantised or non-quantised locators, plus a specific level parameter; the grid can be synchronised to a DAW or its own internal clock for added flexibility.

Le Masque: Delay... perfect for taking creative control of existing loop libraries or reviving live recordings, offering:



XILS-lab Le Masque: Delay is available from January 10 for €59 EURO (including VAT for EU countries) from the XILS-lab Store. (Note: this is a serial number authorised product — no hardware dongle or challenge/response system required.)

Liine announces AB Lemur Bundle – including FREE templates for all Lemur iOS owners!

Interface designer Antonio Blanca takes hands-on control into new
dimensions - Lemur's launch for iOS devices in December 2011 saw more
sales in two weeks than all previous Lemur hardware sales combined.
As a thank you to everyone for their support, Liine is launching a
new series of premium content for all Lemur iOS users.

AB Lemur Bundle is the first of the series. Available now as a free
download, the package presents three Lemur templates by master
designer Antonio Blanca, a force to be reckoned with when it comes to
interface design. He's created Lemur templates for many popular
Reaktor factory ensembles. We present here three of these beautiful
and unique creations which are sure to inspire musicians, composers
and sound designers alike. They come bundled with adapted 'Lemurized'
versions of the original Reaktor ensembles allowing for full Lemur
control via OSC. Best of all, AB Lemur Bundle is completely free of
charge.

Sound designers Richard Devine, Antonio Blanca and Miguel Isaza have
contributed sound examples to further enhance your Lemur multi-touch
experience.


More details on the three templates:

Lemurized L3
Lemurized L3 is the ultimate interface for programming and performing
beat slicing. Not only can you re-order the slices and sequence
effect parameters, you can sequence different patterns and samples.
Experiment and use it on any kind of loop in your arsenal.

Lemurized Skrewell
Skrewell is an abstract, noise-based drone machine. Use the
accompanying Lemur template to shape it and give it a life of its
own. The clear layout and cool-grey colour scheme makes it easy and
fun to shape your soundscapes.

Lemurized Spacedrone
Another deep Reaktor soundtool, this one certainly lives up to its
name. The range of sounds this ensemble can produce are profound and
the Lemur controller template really lets you harness this power. The
Breakpoint objects are put to great use as modulators. Turn the
physics on, hit record and explore the range of morphing sounds.

ProducerLoops releases: World Tek Vol 2

'World Tek Vol 2' was produced by sound designer Jeff Rhodes, and multi-instrumentalist, Todd Milne.
It's jam-packed with 600+ loops and samples. Stand-out features include the 189 flute and wind
instrument loops, along with acoustic drum loops and other instrument loops. Tempos range from 61 to
154 BPM.

After one year of ultra hard work, we are very proud to unveil 'World Tek Vol 2', the sequel to our best-
selling world music sample pack! 'World Tek Vol 2' can be used to create Ambient, World, Hip Hop, Trip
Hop, Lounge, Drum and Bass, Industrial, Techno, Dubstep, Soundtracks, and many other commercial
and underground styles.

Contents:

Download The Free Pack:
We are giving away 50 MB of loops and samples from this pack for FREE. Yes, giving it away!
Furthermore, these loops are 100% Royalty-Free and there is no obligation to purchase the full product,
although obviously we hope you do. To confirm: download the free pack and you can use any of these
loops in your productions without any further costs.

About the Producers:
Jeff Rhodes & Todd Milne have been working in the sound design industry for a little over a decade. They
are particularly well-known for their three "Pro Sessions" loop libraries that were released through M-
Audio. They have also released another nine loop sample collections independently through Perimeter
Sound Arts, and Jeff Rhodes produced the 'Ambient Glitch' and 'Dance Glitch' series for
ProducerLoops.com.

About the Production:
Todd Milne once again brought his talent to the live wind instrument parts for this pack, with multiple
flutes from his private collection, including ones he hand-made, as well as laying down some grooves
with various authentic hand percussion. These are presented in a range from pure, clean acoustic
sounds, to some that have been processed and effected, to satisfy a variety of situations.

Jeff Rhodes took a carefully selected collection of drum and percussion samples, sequenced and re-
sequenced them, treated them with FX, and then made sure they kept the beat steady. Then, by using
some of his Zebra synth patches, and a couple of other physical modelling synths, the electronica
elements were born.

The combination of acoustic performances and electronic processing delivers a unique Cinematic sound
that you will find almost infinite uses for, in many different styles of music. The demo gives you just a
few of the ideas you could create using this product alone, as it ONLY uses the material you get in this
loop sample collection. Imagine the extra mood and style that it could add to your music when
combined with other products in the Producer Loops archive?

Additional Credits:
Special thanks go to Lance Roethle, all-things-drum, for providing some one-shot samples for the beats,
as well as for some of the loops in the "Real Drums-Perc" folder. A big triple thanks to Bill Davies and
Ugo (Chris Sciurba) for all their work on creating the demo.

Price and Availability:
'World Tek Vol 2' is available for instant download exclusively at ProducerLoops.com for £29.95 /
36,70 EUR / $39.80 USD. More information is available at the Producerloops website via the link.

Applied Acoustics Systems / Sound Bank Series expansion with Chromaphone preset collections

Applied Acoustics Systems announces the expansion of the Sound Bank Series with titles for Chromaphone, its latest creative percussion synthesizer. Renowned sound designers Martin Walker, Simon Stockhausen, and Michel Drapeau have been commissioned to produce the first three collection of presets.

"These banks will cover a lot of sonic ground as each sound designer will bring his own influences and signature touch," said Marc-Pierre Verge CEO of AAS, "Chromaphone is still very new so the sound design possibilities are wide open and we really liked what the sound designers have presented so far."

PRICING AND AVAILABILITY
These new sound banks will be available during the first quarter of 2012 for $39 each. The instant download delivery package will include both Chromaphone preset files as well as the free AAS Player plug-in. The AAS Player plug-in runs on both Windows and Mac OS X as a standalone application and supports the VST, Audio Unit, and RTAS plug-in formats.

ABOUT CHROMAPHONE
Chromaphone combines acoustic resonators to create drums, percussion, mallet, string, and synth-like instruments. Drum skins, bars, marimbas, plates, strings, and tubes form pairs that are sparked to life by a configurable mallet and a flexible noise source. At the heart of Chromaphone lies a novel coupling technology that precisely models how vibrating objects interact and influence each other capturing key acoustic behaviours of musical instruments.
