Ueberschall has introduced 60s Beat, a new sound library that offers retro sounds inspired by music of the 1960s.
What they say about it:
“With driving rhythms, spring reverb-fueled guitars and a solid bass foundation, 60s Beat is a sonic time capsule to the 1960s.
Ten massive constructions kits with over 6 GB and more than 1.200 loops provide all the inspiration you will need to recreate the sound that symbolizes music in the first half of the decade.”
The library comes with the Ueberschall Elastik player and is available now for €99.
Thereminist Grégoire Blanc shared his theremin & synth arrangement of György Ligeti’s Musica ricercata suite for solo piano.
What Grégoire Blanc say about it:
“This seventh movement has a very interesting feature: the supporting ostinato and the melodic lines are totally decorrelated.
I would like to propose here an interpretation which leverages this very aspect, involving two sides of electronic music I enjoy equally. Expressivity with the theremin and Haken Continuum for the singing lines. Sequencing, patching, tone-shaping with analog synthesizers (@MoogSynthesizers ) for the motor-like background.”
Erica Synth has introduced two new stereo modules in their Drum Series that they say are designed to “elevate your drums by adding a dynamic sound treatment”, the Stereo FX module and the Stereo DJ VCF.
The Stereo FX module brings hi-fi stereo effects into the Erica Synths Drum Series. Based on the company’s new DSP engine, the module provides a wide range of custom delay and reverb effects. It offers CV control over various parameters, and the ability to save up to 10 presets.
Features:
Hi-Fi stereo FX module
3 delay and 3 reverb effects
Tap and clock synchronization of delay time
Delay time divisions and multiplications in sync mode
10 preset patches
CV control over delay time, feedback, and preset selection
The FX is developed in collaboration with the Dutch company 112dB, which offers some of the best-sounding VST instruments.
The Erica Synths DJ VCF Stereo module provides functionality typically found on DJ decks – it is fully open when the cutoff knob is at 12:00. When turned counter-clockwise, lowpass filtering is applied and when turned clockwise, highpass filtering.
Features:
Fully analogue stereo DJ-style VCF
Manual cutoff and resonance control
Two cutoff CV inputs, one with an attenuverter
The modules are available now with the following pricing:
