Sinevibes has introduced their first three effect plugins for the KORG NTS-1 mkII and NTS-3:
Blend v2 is a multi-voice chorus plugin for KORG prologue, minilogue xd, NTS-1, NTS-1 mkII and NTS-3. This algorithm creates deep unison and ensemble effects with great density, natural smoothness, and lush stereo field.
Dipole v2 is a through-zero flanger plugin for KORG prologue, minilogue xd, NTS-1, NTS-1 mkII and NTS-3. It combines two delay lines, with one able to run earlier or later in time relatively to the other, plus a switching feedback signal routing. R
Whirl v2 is a barber-pole phaser plugin for KORG prologue, minilogue xd, NTS-1, NTS-1 mkII and NTS-3. It is based on a Bode frequency shifter algorithm combined with a feedback loop, which produces deep spectrum sweeps that create a unique audible illusion of endless sound morphing.
Korg has introduced the Pa5X Oriental, a new version of their Pa5X Professional Arranger keyboard that features middle eastern sounds, styles and pads.
