Waves Audio has announced the latest round of updates for their Waves V15 plugins. The updates are part of Waves’ ongoing commitment to ensure your go-to tools meet today’s music production needs.
The update brings performance improvements and optimized functionality across the board, and introduces new interfaces for three classic Waves plugins: Doubler, SuperTap, and Enigma.
With a new streamlined look, Doubler, SuperTap, and Enigma now offer enhanced user experiences. Doubler’s updated design makes the process of thickening voices and enriching mixes more intuitive, while SuperTap’s refreshed interface simplifies the user experience when creating spacey echoes and complex delays. Enigma’s redesigned layout improves usability for crafting a wide range of effects, from flanging to resonant reverbs.
The latest round of Waves V15 updates also introduces several additional new features and improvements, including:
Noise-off feature on JJP Signature Series plugins: This new feature enhances the usability of these popular plugins by reducing unwanted noise.
Sidechain capabilities added to the legendary L2 Ultramaximizer: This update provides greater flexibility and control in mastering and mixing.
Performance enhancements and bug fixes across the Waves catalog, ensuring a smooth, reliable user experience.
Sinevibes has introduced Cache, a new effect plugin for real-time audio manipulation, designed specifically for the KORG NTS-3 Kaoss Pad.
Cache is an advanced, highly practical performance and sound design tool – which is also extremely fun and addictive to use.
Cache enables you set up a custom configuration of four different algorithms – and trigger them independently via four zones on the XY pad. The plugin’s sound engine records the incoming audio into a buffer and immediately manipulates it via one of the included algorithms: looper, repeater, stutter-style robotizer, ping-pong reverser, classic granular time stretching, or tape/vinyl stopper.
Features:
Four separate buffer-based effects with tempo sync, triggered via four zones on the XY pad
Six algorithm options: Loop, Repeat, Ping-Pong, Robotize, Time Stretch, Stop
Up to 4 seconds of 32-bit stereo recording
High-quality spline interpolation and multiple fade envelopes for completely smooth operation
Seamless, click-free effect switching via four exponential gates
Sonic Lab – Latest review – takes an in-depth look at the Moog Muse, the latest flagship synthesizer from Moog Music.
Host Nick Batt explores the architecture of the Muse, the synth’s performance capabilities and shares his thoughts on its pros and cons. Plus, PWM!
Moog positions the Muse as a ‘best of the best’ synth keyboard. The Muse combines discrete oscillators derived from the Minimoog Voyager, a saturating mixer inspired by the classic CP3 mixer, dual transistor ladder filters, and stereo discrete VCAs inspired by Moog Modular circuits.
This synth voice is paired with digital controls, including a 64-step sequencer with sequence chaining, parameter recording, and probabilistic editing, as well as a powerful arpeggiator and chord memory.
Batt says that he’s “rather impressed with the Moog Muse”, adding “It’s a lot of money, but you’re getting a lot of Moog.”
