Sound Magic has introduced Cadenza Viola Version 2.0, a hybrid modeling instrument for Mac (AU 32-/64-bit, VST 32-/64-bit) and Windows (VST 32-/64-bit). Cadenza Viola features an Italian handmade viola, powered by the latest Neo Orchestra Hybrid Modelling Engine.
Cadenza Viola Version 2.0 captures the Italian handmade Viola’s sound with “crisp, clean, unaltered details” free of reflections or coloring. Audio technologies developer Sound Magic stresses that they used the SSL 9000 series console, along with legendary U47 and M49 Neumann vintage microphones, to ensure vivid representation in each note.
Cadenza Viola Features:
Deeply sampled 22GB uncompressed content, Over 2,400 samples
Modeled Vibrato, Legato, Tremolo, Glide, and Glissando
Round Robin on most techniques
Innovative Performance Key Switch system
Embodied high-quality reverb and EQ
Comprehensive Envelope system
Scala Tuning System can emulate different tuning systems
DFD/RAM system enables users to relocate resources and ensure the best performance under every individual project
Different GUI mode for standard resolution and 4K resolution
UDO Audio recently shared another Hazel Mills video, this time performing her composition ‘Daylight’ using the Super 6 in both Keyboard and Desktop models:
The UDO Super 6 is a 12-voice synthesizer that is designed so that it also can be used as a 6-voice binaural synthesizer, with each note having two independent synthesis paths. The result is different than sticking a chorus and reverb on the end of a mono channel because the synthesis process is different.
WMD recently released a video showing how to make AD and AR envelopes using an ADSR envelope + VCA module.
In the video, synth module maker WMD’s Alex demonstrates the differences of each style of envelope and how to make them with the WMD Javelin Envelope + VCA combo.
Alex explains what’s happening in the video:
“Snappy” is a subjective term commonly used to describe the way an envelope sounds. It can be likened to word like quick, fast, plucky, blippy etc. AD envelopes are known for their snappy qualities and strengths in making percussive blips and bongo like sounds. The javelin has lots of really unique options for an envelope like Accent, voltage levels, time ranges, and a mode switch that makes it act much more like a triggered A/D than your common ADSR. A super versatile module for all sounds and styles of synthesis.
We then go a bit deeper into what this type of envelope can be used for and introduce the WMD C4RBN filter to create a low-pass gate inspired patch. If you’ve ever wondered if the filter goes before or after the VCA, Alex shows examples of both and explains why you might want to do it one way or the other.
