We are thrilled to announce the launch of our latest product: Quadra!

Quadra is a morphing multi-effect that puts four complete effect chains in the four corners of a glowing XY Morph Pad and blends between them as you move. One move can carry a dry vocal into a shimmering cathedral, a tight drum loop into a stuttering, crushed machine, or a simple pad into a slow, evolving soundscape.


What’s inside Quadra:

• 22 studio-grade effects, up to four per corner
• Motion Engine: Manual, Auto, Draw and 16-step Steps, tempo synced with swing
• 630+ factory presets, including 150 Master Presets in 12 styles
• Layered Randomize, built on tested, click-free combinations
• Convolution effect with 81 impulse responses
• A/B Compare, full Undo and Redo, resizable window
• AU and VST3 for macOS 11 or later (Apple Silicon and Intel). VST3 for Windows 10 or later

Stack up to four effects per corner from 22 processors, then set the point in motion by hand, on a looping shape, along a path you draw, or with a 16-step sequencer synced to your track. Loaded with 630+ factory presets, Layered Randomize, 81 impulse responses, and AU and VST3 for macOS plus VST3 for Windows.

Morph between four complete effect worlds with a single gesture.

Quadra puts four complete effect worlds in the four corners of a glowing XY Morph Pad and blends between them as you move. Drag the point yourself, draw a path, step it in time with your track, or let it drift on its own.

Quadra is available through November 5 at an introductory price of $69, normally priced at $99, through the Sample Logic website.

Roland TR-1000 Rhythm Creator gains per-step pitch programming, keyboard mode, 50 additional FM instruments, new effects, and expanded routing options with firmware version 1.5.

Roland’s TR-1000 Rhythm Creator version 1.50 adds new capabilities for melodic sequencing, sound design, and live performance.

The free update introduces a NOTE parameter for compatible sound generators, a new KEYBOARD play mode, and 50 FM instruments drawn from the TR-8S library. It also adds new multi-effects, expanded modulation assignments, more flexible audio routing, and several workflow improvements.

The update builds on the TR-1000’s combination of analog synthesis, digital sound generators, sampling, and pattern-based sequencing, giving users additional ways to develop pitched parts and manage transitions during performance.

Features:

• Melodic Sequencing and Keyboard Mode:
  • A new NOTE step parameter allows users to specify pitch in semitones for compatible sound generators, making it possible to program melodic sequences alongside conventional drum patterns.
  • The new KEYBOARD play mode transforms the TR-1000’s step buttons into a playable keyboard for compatible sound generators. The mode includes two playing configurations and built-in scale options.
• Additional FM Instruments:
  • The update adds 50 FM instruments from the Roland TR-8S instrument library, expanding the TR-1000’s available digital percussion and sound-design options.
  • A new COARSE parameter is available on all FM sound generators, providing an additional control for adjusting pitch.
• New Effects:
  • Four new multi-effects are included: Roll, Roll 2, Rev Pan Delay, and SBF-325. The SBF-325 effect is also available as an insert effect, expanding the options for processing individual sounds.
• New modulation destinations include Layer A/B pan and the insert delay’s TIME parameter. The insert delay TIME parameter can also be assigned to a hardware knob.
• Improved Live Performance and Kit Switching:
  • A new KEEP KIT EFX & EXT IN setting allows external input, reverb, delay, modulation, multi-effects, and analog effects settings to be retained when switching kits. When enabled, reverb, delay, and external-input sound continues uninterrupted across kit changes.
  • The analog effects routing options now include an ANALOG setting, which routes analog effects to the dedicated AFX output only. The existing MIX+ANA routing option remains available.
• Expanded Output Routing:
  • A new MIX ONLY option for individual outputs prevents a track’s sound from being sent through its individual hardware output while keeping the track available as digital audio over USB.
• Workflow Improvements:
  • A new PATTERN SELECT MODE setting offers a MANUAL option that requires users to press ENTER to confirm a pattern selection when browsing with the encoders.
  • The new AUTO TRACK SELECT option automatically selects a track when users press its step button in instrument play or record modes.
  • A Sample Auto Adjust system parameter matches imported sample levels to the destination preset category.
• Interface Updates:
  • The Song Mode interface now provides clearer indications of encoder functions. The Tempo screen features a larger BPM readout and indicators for tempo nudging.
  • Filter EQ types are now represented graphically, while tune and decay offset values use an inverted bar graphic over the generator parameter display.

Roland TR-1000 system software version 1.50 is available now as a free update for existing TR-1000 owners.

Today Focusrite and partner Klevgrand launched Altitude Harmony, their first joint VST-plugin: Instant harmonies and pitch correction in two simple moves that demands little from the user leaving astonishing results, a lighter and more easily navigated spin on the full product released earlier this year.


Two links from the same signal chain. Focusrite has spent decades perfecting the preamp, the converter, the interface that sits on your desk. Meanwhile, Klevgrand has crafted world-class software instruments and effects with focus on design and creativity, a unique less-is-more-workflow and a high-quality signature sound.

The two companies have worked together for many years now, but Altitude Harmony marks a new milestone in the partnership as this marks the first time the collaboration takes the form of a joint product.

“We knew we had a lot in common – and we loved working together – but now we have the chance to create something great for our customers: Altitude Harmony. The result is something simple that creates that instant smile and moment of joy that we’re all looking for when making music. That’s what this partnership is really all about” -Tim Dingley, Managing Director, Focusrite

“We have loved working with the Focusrite team since day one and when we got the chance to to bring the Altitude concept to a a much wider audience with Focusrite it was kind of a no-brainer” Tobias Engström, CEO, Klevgrand

Altitude Harmony: Instant harmonies, always in tune. Altitude Harmony tunes the user’s vocal and stacks harmonies around it in just two simple moves. Under the hood, an advanced pitch engine decides which notes fit the song, so you can stay focused on the performance. Four one-button character effects sit alongside them, so you can reach a finished take without losing the flow of the session.

Altitude Harmony Key features:

• Harmonies from a single control: One dial sets how many harmonies/voices you get and whether they sit above or below the lead. The musical decisions happen underneath, in the chosen scale.
• Pitch correction with character intact. The Style dial moves pitch correction from transparent to fully locked. Formants stay corrected throughout, so the voice keeps its character wherever you set it.
• Four characters, one button each. Droid, Clones, Vibrato and Tremolo sit under the main controls. There’s nothing to configure: press one and the vocal arrives somewhere new, already usable.
• Your key, your notes. Set the key from the scale strip, or pick your own notes.
• Built for tracking and stage. Low-latency and vocal register settings live in the settings panel.

Normally priced at $49.99, Altitude Harmony is available now at an intro price of $29.99. It runs as VST3, AU, AAX on macOS / Windows. For more information on the collaboration and the product, visit the Altitude Harmony product page on the Klevgrand website.
