Be Good Audio introduces Time Razor, a Dual Delay with Integrated Effects & Modulation

Be Good Audio, a new audio software company based in Denmark, has introduced Time Razor, a dual delay, with integrated effects and modulation.

 

Features:

  • 4 different delay modes: Single, Ping Pong, Dual Serial, and Dual Parallel
  • 2 different controllable time transition modes: Repitch and Fade
  • Control the level of the delay lines in Parallel or Serial delay mode
  • Option to add Chorus, Phaser, Bit Crusher, and Reverb to the feedback path (with both dry/wet audio options)?
  • 1 multi-mode filter in the feedback path (with both dry/wet audio options) for further enhancing the sonic character
  • Processing in stereo with independent left/right repeat time and feedback for each delay line
  • Possibility to sync delay times to the host tempo
  • Stereo tools to control spatial width
  • Processing in M/S stereo mode
  • Shape the delay lines with lowpass, highpass filters in the feedback path. In Parallel mode, each delay line has separate filters, while in Dual Serial mode, both delay lines share the same filters.
  • Ducking for the delay lines with separate ducking settings in Parallel mode
  • Envelope follower for dynamic modulation with multiple dual destinations (select between 32 targets)
  • 2 LFOs with multiple dual destinations and the possibility to sync LFO rates to the host tempo (select between 32 targets)
  • Modulation sources can modulate each other
  • Comes loaded with 140 presets for quickly adding magic to your sound. Easily edit and save presets. More free presets will be added in future updates.
  • Control audio input and output, changing the sonic harmonics
  • Clear Audio button (top-right “Time Razor” text in the UI) for working with massive feedback
  • Integrated help-text displayed when hovering over UI elements with the mouse

Audio demos are available at the Be Good Audio website.

Time Razor is available now for Windows, with an intro price of €39 (normally €79). A Mac version is ‘coming soon’.  A demo version is also available.

Soundtrack Loops introduces C64 8-Bit Adventure Loops of the ‘Commodordian’


Jason Donnelly of Soundtrack Loops let us know about their latest sound library, C64 8 Bit Adventure, which features sounds of the Commodordian.

The Commodordian is a unique 8-bit Commodore 64 accordion:

What they say about the sound library:

“Here we have C64 8-Bit Adventure, a collection of loops, one shots and more, all generated by a bespoke musical instrument that Linus has dubbed the Commodordian—an ‘accordion’ comprising two C64 computers that bookend a real, functional bellows system, constructed of an origami-like assembly of 5.25” paper floppy disc casings!

This instrument sets C64 8-Bit Adventure apart—the bellows is actually an electro-mechanical modulator that changes the sound as it’s being played.

So here, in a package containing 82 loops (distributed across 10 different theme kits), 168 delightful one shots, 9 Kontakt .nki files, and an Ableton Drum Rack, we have the sound of the Commodordian—an one-off, genius-grade, mad scientist-level instrument that captures the classic sounds of the Commodore 64 computer in all its 8-bit glory, and with added organic modulations that go far beyond typical circuit bending exercises, and into some truly esoteric and fun places.”

C64 8 Bit Adventure is available now for $25

Shakmat Modular introduces 2 New Modules: Banshee Reach & Jeweler Cast


Shakmat Modular has introduced two new modules for Eurorack modular systems: Banshee Reach & Jeweler Cast.

Banshee Reach:
The module’s heart is based on a triangle core VCO, with thru-zero frequency/phase modulation capabilities. In addition to delivering independently the typical analog waveforms, the Banshee Reach has a vari output, combining a continuously variable waveform, crossfading with a sub-octave generator.

The analog core has been completed with a digital control for frequency locking and octave transposition, which helps make the Banshee Reach performance-oriented. Other features include LFO mode, hard or soft sync, digital noise modulation and PWM.

Jeweler Cast:
The Jeweler Cast melts, bends, and chisels all types of signals, audio, or CV. Composed of two independent sections, the Mix, and the Shaper, the Jeweler Cast combines a ring modula-tor, a crossfader, a wavefolder and a distortion.

This compact, fully analog module can manipulate basic waveforms and complex signals in a wide variety of ways.

Shakmat says that at Superbooth 2023, they will be showing both of these modules, plus some other new modules that they have in the works.

Both modules are available now, with the following pricing:
Banshee Reach – €290
Jeweler Cast – €185
