The VastWave Complex Analog Oscillator designed For Going Beyond Subtractive Synthesis

 

 

TEIA Synthesizers shared this video demo of the VastWave complex analog oscillator module for Eurorack modular systems.

 

The VastWave offers advanced waveshaping capabilities that are designed to allow ‘textural and harmonic exploration beyond subtractive synthesis’.

 

Features:

 

  • Voltage controlled complex waveshaping
  • Triangle core
  • FM input with voltage controlled amplitude for FM amplitude modulation
  • On board linear Glide
  • Voltage controlled Pulse-width modulation for Pulse and Final Pls waveforms
  • Modern temperature and tuning stability
  • High Frequency (VCO) or Low Frequency (LFO) operation
  • External Timbre input with sine wave normalization if no external source is patched
  • Attenuator/inverter knobs on all voltage controlled inputs
  • Inverted or double Sawthooth waveform (selectable by jumper)

 

The VastWave oscillator is available now for 360€.

 

 

 

 

 

Wave SSL console channel strip plugin cost less than $40

 

Waves has launch the SSL EV2 Channel. Waves is one of the big players of the Black Friday plugin deals. This SSL EV2 Channel has an regular retail price of $249, but is currently available for just $40.

 

Authorized by Solid State Logic, this is an all-new emulation of the classic SSL 4000E console channel strip – a legend in music production circles, and known for its distinctive sound.

 

This has been recreated from the ground up using Waves’ new Precision Analog Component technology. Each component of a carefully-selected SSL console has been modelled, and includes new features, as well.

 

As well as the classic dynamics and EQ controls, you can also switch between two SSL EQ flavors: the Black Knob (242), which gives you clean punch; and the original Brown Knob (O2), which delivers a crunchier, grittier sound.

 

The new Line and Mic preamp section, meanwhile, offers plenty of harmonic distortion options – from gentle saturation to aggressive drive. If you want deep saturation, you can click the Analog switch to engage THD (Total Harmonic Distortion). Turn this off to keep the input clean.

 

The Dynamics section, meanwhile, offers a soft-knee compressor/limiter and a gate/expander, and can be placed before or after the EQ in your chain. Makeup gain is applied automatically.

 

Waves SSL EV2 Channel comes loaded with over 600 presets, including settings from Grammy-winning producers and mix engineers such as Jacquire King, Stuart White, Joe Barresi, Lu Diaz, Dave Pensado, Rich Costey, Jack Joseph Puig and more.

The SSL EV2 Channel plugin has a regular price of $249, but is currently available for just $39.99

Sound Magic intros Amati Violin

 

Audio technologies developer Sound Magic has introduced Amati Violin, a new hybrid modelling virtual instrument for Mac (AU 32-/64-bit, VST 32-/64-bit) and Windows (VST 32-/64-bit), that captures the sound of a rare instrument from 1664,

 

Amati Violin is based on a priceless antique violin, created by Nicolò Amati in the year 1664. Nicolò Amati gained his reputation as a renowned violin maker in Italy. He also had two world-famous pupils, namely Antonio Stradivari and Andrea Guarneri. The trio is known for creating the best violins ever made.

 

What Sound Magic say about Amati Violin:

 

“The Amati Violin sounds unique, as it evokes emotion. This adds a special timbre color to the final sound. Regardless of the style of music you compose, this violin can add special characteristics to its sound, with a natural dynamic. Also, the multi dynamic sampling ensures the violin can have enough dynamism when doing crescendo and decrescendo.

 

Amati Violin offers far more sound-shaping options than a sampling instrument with five bands parametric EQ and more control over the harmonic partial sounds. This means you can quickly change timbre with a simple turn of a knob or tune every single note with the Scala tuning system.

 

We’ve also made it possible to finish all techniques on a single track with our performance keyswitch system that allows the Cadenza Violin to be used in live performances without sacrificing quality or efficiency.

 

No two sessions, songs, or musical experiences are alike, which is why Amati Violin has been recoded in a variety of formats to suit every need including non-vibrato, pizzicato, sustains, staccato and spiccato, —all to ensure it fits every musical style. Also most articulations also have different vibrato depth to make it cover more situations.”

The Amati Violin is available now for $199, with an intro pricing of $99 until February 12th, 2022.
