LOON is a software instrument that lets you build sounds by combining oscillators, sampled instruments, FM synthesis, effects, and modulation within three independent layers.
Each layer includes its own instrument groups and effects chain, with macro controls for assigning multiple parameters to a single performance control.
The instrument supports standalone operation as well as VST3, Audio Unit, and AAX plugin formats, includes more than 200 factory presets, and offers compatibility with a wide range of MIDI controllers, including full MIDI Polyphonic Expression (MPE) support.
Features:
Three independent sound layers with dedicated instrument and effects panels
Each layer supports multiple instrument groups
Sound sources include oscillators, sampled instruments, and FM synthesis
Each layer includes an independent effects chain
Macro controls can map multiple parameters across layers and instrument groups
Deep modulation system with LFOs, ADSR envelopes, MSEG modulators, and MIDI CC assignments
MPE (MIDI Polyphonic Expression) support for per-note expressive control
More than 200 factory presets are included
Additional sound expansion packs are supported
Standalone application for macOS and Windows
VST3 plugin support
Audio Unit (AU) plugin support on macOS
AAX plugin support
Compatible with a wide range of MIDI controllers, including keyboards, pad controllers, wind controllers, electronic drums, and MIDI guitars
Scalable user interface with high-DPI and Retina display support
Available in multiple interface languages
LOON is available for macOS and Windows as a standalone application and in VST3, Audio Unit, and AAX plugin formats. It is priced at $49.99 USD (regular price $99.99) and is also included at no additional cost with eligible Jamstik MIDI Guitar purchases.
Tessera is an effects plugin built around twelve parallel resonator voices that are excited by incoming audio.
Rather than processing signals with conventional filtering or reverberation, the plugin routes the source through resonators tuned to notes within a selected chord or scale, allowing transient sounds to expand into chords and sustained material to evolve into layered harmonic textures.
The processing engine includes eleven physical-model resonator types, five tempo-syncable motion engines, and controls for shaping decay, damping, brightness, stereo spread, and harmonic behavior.
Features:
Twelve parallel resonator voices are excited from the incoming audio signal
Each resonator voice can be tuned to notes within a selected chord or scale
Eleven resonator models are included
Resonator models include a Karplus-Strong plucked string model
A bowed waveguide string model is included
Additional banded waveguide models include tuned bars, glass, bells, bowls, membranes, plates, and tubes
Decay control adjusts resonator duration
Damping control shapes resonator behavior
Brightness control adjusts the tonal character of the resonators
Circuit Happy shared this video demo of how to use their Missing Link to connect your computer wirelessly using Ableton Link.
You don’t even need a computer, though. You can use the Missing Link to sync hardware synths, modular systems, mobile devices and more. The Missing Link synchronizes your DAW, modular synths and any other studio gear over WiFi, MIDI and CV – all at the same time.
Whether you’re using the Missing Link Junior or the ML:2m, the setup process is quick, simple and wireless.
