Soundtoys let us know that PhaseMistress, a full-featured and powerful plug-in effect designed for rich phase sweeps, analog vibes, and programmable rhythmic modulation, is available through Nov 15th, 2024 as a free download for Mac + Windows.

“When we designed PhaseMistress, we were inspired by the sound of classic analog phase-shifters of the 1970s and 80s, but I think we ended up re-inventing the effect,” said Ken Bogdanowicz, CEO and lead designer at Soundtoys. “By combining a super flexible phase-shifting engine with a powerful modulation system we transformed a stock effect into something totally new and wonderful. We’re still discovering new sounds and new ways to use PhaseMistress.”

PhaseMistress Video Demo:

PhaseMistress puts you in control of all aspects of the phaser sound. You can set the number of stages from 2 up to 24, then fine-tune and offset the resonance, color, and intensity to craft unique phase-shifting styles.

PhaseMistress contains a customizable LFO with preset shapes, or you can draw your own and store it. Plus, you can draw your custom curves in the Tweak panel. Rhythm mode lets you program and store simple or complex patterns, while in Envelope mode, PhaseMistress responds to the dynamics of the incoming audio for funky triggered effects.

Open PhaseMistress’s Style menu to browse an extensive set of styles that give you the sonic flavor of legendary hardware like the Bi-Phase, Super Phaser, Phase 90, Instant Phaser, Small Stone, and more. These retro analog sounds combined with modern controls and customizable LFO make PhaseMistress one of the most powerful phase effects available.

Users who download the free PhaseMistress plug-in will also get a discounted upgrade offer in their Soundtoys account to trade up their PhaseMistress license to the Soundtoys 5 bundle. They say that, with the Soundtoys Black Friday sale starting soon, that deal will get even sweeter.

The Hidden Depths of PhaseMistress:

PhaseMistress is available thru Nov 15, 2024 as a free download.

Roland is one of the leading manufacturers of digital pianos – it has “50 years of piano development” behind it, in fact – and now it’s bringing its experience to the software market with Earth Piano.

Here’s what they have to say about it:

Our innovative EARTH Piano packs this rich history of research and development in a modern software instrument. With a variety of piano types and the ability to customize and shape each sound, the EARTH Piano offers a wide range of sonic possibilities. Bring these expressive piano sounds into your productions.

Featuring seven tweakable acoustic piano types, this promises “Roland’s best and most modern piano sound technology,” and combines multisamples with proprietary modelling techniques.

The piano options include various concert grands plus upright, felt and toy pianos, so you should be able to find the tone you’re looking for. You can adjust your piano’s temperament, stereo width and dynamic range, and adjust physical parameters such as cabinet resonance, string resonance, pedal noise and more. Additionally, each key’s tuning, volume and character can be adjusted individually.

Your sound can be further shaped with a range of convolution-based spaces and algorithmic reverbs, plus a three-band EQ, multi-mode compressor and plenty of multi-effects.

Meet the seven models:

• Classic Grand: This majestic, European-style grand is perfect for classical music and other styles that call for a big, clear, full-range piano.
• Session Grand: A balanced and versatile piano based on the groundbreaking V-Piano grand.
• Artist Grand: This American-style grand is perfect for jazz and instrumental music that calls for rich, open chords and intimate voicings.
• All Silver: This fantasy model imagines what a piano would sound like with all silver strings. The result is transcendent.
• Natural Upright: Sometimes, only the focused sound of an upright will do. Perfect for a wide range of contemporary styles, this model offers a wonderful alternative to the sound of a grand piano.
• Natural Felt Upright: Pianos treated with felt create a super-intimate and emotional vibe. Increasingly popular in contemporary music and media composition, this model is indispensable for modern composers.
• Toy Piano: From whimsical to creepy, toy pianos are a vital part of any piano collection. While it’s technically a toy, this meticulously recorded instrument brings a unique flavor to your music.

As with all new Roland software instruments, Earth Piano is included in the Roland Cloud Ultimate subscription. It’s also available as a Lifetime Key for the introductory price of $50; this applies until 30 November, after which the regular price of $250 will apply.
