The library features 400 MPE presets (4 banks with 100 presets each) for Kilohearts’ Phase Plant plugin. The library is available separately or in a bundle with Phase Plant.

 

The collection of 4 MPE sound banks (400+ presets) is available now for €39.00 (normally €79.00), or as a bundle with Phase Plant for €99.00.

Melbourne Instruments NINA Synthesizer v1.4

Synthesist Mike Pensini shared this overview and demo of Melbourne Instruments NINA firmware v1.4.

 

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.
