Developer Jonas Eriksson has introduced Annulus, a free polyphonic resonator and effects engine for Mac and Windows.
At its heart is a faithful implementation of the physical modeling engine behind Mutable Instruments’ Rings — one of the most celebrated modules in the history of Eurorack — paired with a full effects chain and a visual interface.
ADDAC shared this preview of ADDAC120s Four Strings Series, a Eurorack-compatible electroacoustic instrument that integrates physical strings, custom pickups, and electromechanical control.
The ADDAC120s Four Strings Series is a collection of modules, built around the idea of using physical strings as a creative medium.
ADDAC120s Four Strings Series modules include:
ADDAC120 Headstock & Bridge — The physical foundation of the system. Provides the tuning hardware and bridge needed to mount and tension the strings.
ADDAC121 Humbucker — A magnetic humbucker pickup module for capturing the sound of the strings and feeding it into a modular system or audio chain.
ADDAC122 Quadraphonic Pickup — A multi-channel pickup system that captures strings separately, allowing independent processing and spatialization of individual strings.
ADDAC124 Plectrums — Motorized picks that physically pluck the strings under CV and gate control, turning sequencers and triggers into automated picking mechanisms.
ADDAC125 Strings Mute — A controllable muting mechanism that damps the strings, enabling rhythmic muting, articulation changes, and percussive effects.
ADDAC126 Rotary Exciter — A rotating excitation system that continuously drives the strings.
ADDAC127 Ebow Slider — A CV-controlled electromagnetic string driver inspired by an E-Bow, capable of producing sustained notes and harmonics without plucking the strings.
ADDAC120F Strings Frame — The mechanical frame that holds the strings and serves as the mounting platform for the various excitation, pickup, and muting modules.
AudioThing has introduced Fields, a new application that turns your iPhone into an “always-there” field recorder.
The app is designed to capture recordings directly on iPhone and iPad, while providing tools for organizing recordings, managing metadata, and exporting audio files.
Fields turns your iOS device into a audio field recorder for gathering source material that can later be used in music production, sound design, sampling, podcasting, and other audio projects.
Features:
Audio recording is performed directly on iPhone and iPad devices
Recordings can be organized within the application
Metadata can be associated with recordings
Location information can be stored with recordings
Photographs can be attached to recordings
Notes can be attached to recordings
Recordings can be searched and browsed within the application
Audio files can be exported for use in other software
The application is designed for field recording workflows
The software operates on both iPhone and iPad
