Aeronaut Cinematic Texture Generator Now Available


Sampleson has introduced Aeronaut, a new audio effect for macOS and Windows that they say can make anything sound cinematic.

They say ‘It’s not a reverb. It’s not a synth. It’s a cinematic time machine for whatever you plug into it.’

Under the hood, it analyzes your audio with a short FFT window, saves the frequency content (not the waveform), and rebuilds it with new phases each frame.

Features:

  • Real-time spectral freeze engine — custom built in C++
  • Works with any live input: guitar, vocals, synths, drums, field recordings
  • Built-in looper: freeze a moment and play melodies on top
  • Hollywood-grade cinematic textures from a single note
  • Continuous, click-free, loop-free spectral playback
  • Low latency, low CPU usage
  • High-resolution UI (Retina & 4K ready)
  • VST3 and AU plug-in
  • macOS (Apple Silicon & Intel) and Windows

Aeronaut is available now for $29 USD (normally $49).

Miltone 4Exp Synthesizer Now Available To Pre-Order


Miltone has announced that the 4Exp – a four-voice expansion module designed as a companion to the legendary Oberheim FVS-1 synthesizer – is now available.

Used as a standalone, it operates as four independent monophonic dual-VCO voices. Paired with an original FVS-1 (upgrades and extra wiring required to connect the two units together), it extends the system to eight voices of polyphony.

Each voice routes through the Output module, which provides per-voice volume and pan, stereo Left/Right outputs, and two headphone outputs.

Per voice:

  • Two discrete VCOs
  • Hard sync
  • Two-pole state-variable filter
  • Triangle LFO
  • Two ADS envelopes
  • External input
  • CV/Gate and MIDI control

Miltone describes the 4Exp as a “no-compromise” design. It is built using discrete circuitry, assembled by hand in their workshop in Paris.

For the first batch, several customization option are available:

  • Tolex or Aluminium chassis
  • Black or Cream module finish


The 4Exp is available now to pre-order:

  • 4Exp Aluminium — €9,990 ex. VAT (shipping not included)
  • 4Exp Tolex Edition — €11,990 ex. VAT (shipping not included)
