Supercritical Synthesizers has announced that the Redshift 6 Variable Character Synthesizer is now available.
In addition, synthesist Kebu shared this ‘shut up and play’ style video demo for the Redshift 6:
The Supercritical Redshift 6 combines technology from the company’s previous products, the Demon Core Oscillator and the Neutron Flux Filter. Each of the six voices features a DCO, with analog waveforms generated under digital control. The filter core is an analog 4-pole state variable filter, also digitally controlled, to “act like almost any classic vintage synthesizer filter and more”.
In addition to the oscillators and filters, Redshift 6 offers modulators, flexible voice routing, multitimbrality, MPE, and DSP effects.
The Supercritical Redshift 6 is available now, with a street price of about $1,349/€1,259.
Christmas is a time of giving, and in the music software realm it’s rapidly becoming the season of free plugins.
One developer that we can always bank on for a festive giveaway is Baby Audio. This year’s freebie has just arrived in the form of Warp, an audio manipulation plugin lifted from Transit 2, the brand’s recent plugin collaboration with Andrew Huang.
While this three-element setup is fairly simplistic, Warp has the capacity to be a powerful sound-shaping tool, ideal for creating either subtle tape-style wobbles or more extreme sound mangling effect.
Warp is one of 28 effect modules that make up Transit 2, Baby Audio’s recent collaboration with YouTuber and musician Andrew Huang. Transit 2 is a multi-effect that puts a lot of emphasis on movement, making it ideal for creating transition effects and bringing static loops to life.
Features:
Pristine, artifact-reduced varispeed control to effortlessly speed up or slow down audio.
Use the Stretch knob to control pitch independent of time for unhinged audio mangling. (Set to 50% to retain the pitch).
Powered by Transit 2 and developed with Andrew Huang.
Warp is available alongside other Baby Audio freebies including the Beat Slammer compressor and Magic Dice randomised delay/reverb. It comes in VST, AU and AAX formats for Mac or PC. An iOS version is also available on the Apple App Store.
