Developer Giorgio Sancristoforo has introduced No-Fi, a virtual tape loop studio for macOS and Windows.
No-Fi is a standalone “tape loop music studio”, featuring one mixer and five cassette recorders, plus a reverb and delay.
No-Fi simulates the sound of cassette loops, with tape saturation, noises and playback irregularities that characterize the sound of true lo-fi loops. You can choose between Ferric, Chrome and Ferrochrome tapes, add background hiss, tape age and saturation. You can also control azimuth errors, wow, flutter, tape catch and speed.
The input channels can be used with synthesizers, guitars, bass, microphones, electroacoustic instruments etc, and you can load VST/AU plugins, such as a guitar amp. You can even load a virtual VST instrument and play it with your MIDI keyboard.
The cassette tape loops can record up to 1 hour of sound each, or you can import loops from your computer.
No-Fi is available now for MacOS for €19.50. A Windows version is also expected to be available soon.
Deepsounds has released NC Editor, a touchOSC patch editor, patch generator and patch manager for the original Novation Circuit and Novation Circuit Tracks.
While optimized for the use on an iPad, NC Editor also runs on Windows, Mac, Linux and Android.
Features:
Access to all patch parameters of the Circuit synth engines (>300)
Support of both Circuit Tracks and OG Circuit
Optimized design for iPad (but also runs on windows, macOS, android)
Sophisticated patch generator that lets you quickly create complex sounds.
Patch manager to save, load, copy and paste patches on your Circuit, even across packs (tracks only)
Hardware controller support for Novation LaunchControl XL and Akai MidiMix
NC Editor is available now for €5.50. A free demo version is also available. *Note that the controller requires touchOSC.
Especially notable in the demo is the use of aftertouch from the Expressive E Osmose, which offers one of the best implementations, ever, of keyboard aftertouch.
The #CommissionsEarned NINA is a 12-voice desktop analog/digital hybrid synth, with motorized knobs that automatically update to whatever preset you have loaded. – giving you a what-you-see-is-what-you-get patch interface.
