This series of videos, by thoughtForm Max, explores using the LinnStrument with feedback and expression pedal.
The first video captures a live performance of The Torrents of Destruction Overwhelmed Me.
What they shared about the technical details:
“DAW is Ableton, sound source is Serum, played in channel-per-row through an effects-laden amp sim. I also mic’d the room and ran that through the FX as well for some extra feedback and liveliness.
Amp gain, room level, and some other things are controlled with expression pedal, using an M4L device called Grid-Funktion as a response curve.”
Here’s the second part, Eloquent Lips are Unsuited to a Godless Fool:
Spitfire Audio has introduced MG Soft Acoustic Guitar for macOS and Windows, described as “a beautifully recorded, meticulously crafted acoustic guitar with emphasis on the soft and delicate”.
Spitfire says that, with MG Soft Acoustic Guitar, they aim to set a new standard for virtual guitar libraries, offering a remarkably authentic sound out of the box, and helping to demystify the workings of the guitar for non-guitarists.
MG Soft Acoustic Guitar features the sound of a Martin J-40 steel string acoustic guitar, featuring various playing modes including a feature-rich chord / strum system and a fully customizable step sequencer, plus a MIDI Drag and Drop feature.
It features deep sampling, covering all guitar-related articulations including mutes, harmonics, slides, slurs, vibrato and string/body hits.
Features:
A vast array of samples, with up to 7x round robins and 5 velocity layers
Offering all standard articulations including mutes, harmonics, slides (pre and post note), slurs, vibrato, bends and hits (string and body)
UVI has just added to the gifts beneath the plugin tree, and Noctua should be the first you unwrap.
Noctua is the latest on a growing list of free plugins announced this season, with Native Instruments’ free Glaze plugin and Cherry Audio’s free SEM synth module being just three free contenders for your hard drive space (but not your cash).
UVI has introduced Noctua, a free ‘cinematic soundscape synthesizer’ for MacOS and Windows.
What they say about it:
“Noctua combines the worlds of hardware synthesis and boutique effects to deliver an exquisite collection of sprawling soundscapes and evocative cinematic worlds. With a featured design, per-layer microtonal sequencers, custom single-knob effect chains, and master bus processing, Noctua is a rich and detailed cinematic instrument and sound design tool.
Noctua is available now at no charge, a gift from UVI and Venus Theory to mark the season.”
