Sixteen Seconds Delay Reissue Now Available to Preorder ; Limited to 50 units

 

 

Manecolabs has announced the release of Sixteen Seconds Delay Reissue, which they say is inspired by “the original looping delay from 1983.”

 

What they say about it:

 

“The device topology is the same as first digital delays from that era, with an all-analog signal path, pre-emphasis and de emphasis, compression and expansion, anti-alias and reconstruction filtering and input output buffering and mixing.

 

Digital processing is limited only to analog to digital conversion, memory management and storage and digital to analog conversion, all in glorious eight bits.

 

There’s also an analog triangle Low Frequency Oscillator for modulating delay time/pitch, and a click metronome generator, also analog driven by the memory read circuit, with level and independent output.

 

Maximum delay time has been increased to 64 seconds, there are toggle switches for slow/fast speed/pitch and reverse playback.

 

On board footswitches control infinite/freeze from the delay buffer, and bypass for the whole unit. Slider illuminated controls are delay time coarse, delay time fine, sweep rate and depth, clix volume, feedback and mix.”

 

 

 

Sixteen Seconds Delay Reissue is available to pre-order for $699, with a production run limited to 50 units.

 

 

 

 

128 New Patches for Novation Circuit, Novation Circuit Tracks

 

 

Sound designer Krzysztof Steplowski shared this video demo of 128 news sounds for the Novation Circuit and Novation Circuit Tracks.

 

The sound library features sounds inspired by electronic groups like Boards of Canada, Tycho and Tame Impala. The library explores sound territory very different from the default sounds and showcases the power of the Circuit’s internal synth engine.

 

 

“The area where the Novation Circuit engine really shines is in the modulation matrix,” notes Steplowski. “There are 20 modulation slots! From my experience 4-5 slots are enough

 

The audio demos use no post-processing, only original sound recorded directly from the unit. The “tape” effect is the part of sound design and can be adjusted by the modulation knobs.

The Novation Circuit Patches library is available now for $12.

 

 

NEW! Teenage Engineering ZM-4 I/O Expansion Module for OP-Z

 

 

Teenage Engineering has released the ZM-4 Line Module, an add-on for the OP-Z that is designed to bring external audio signals in and out of your OP–Z.

 

It adds a stereo line input and an additional stereo line output to the unit, as well as input and output for MIDI, trig and PO sync. You can use line in to add external audio signals to your mix and use line out as a second stereo output available within OP–Z.

 

 

Features:

  • Audio line in/out
  • Stereo output can also be used as two separate mono outputs
  • Sync in/out
  • MIDI in/out
  • Trig in/out
  • PO out

 

 

The ZM-4 is available now for $149.
