    Modartt introduces Organteq Alpha

    ORGANTEQ Alpha is a new generation physically modelled pipe organ that reproduces the complex behaviour of the organ flue pipe.
    It is a small organ with a keyboard range of 4 octaves (from F1 to F5) and with 2 stops: a Flute 8' and a Flute 4' (octave).
    It is provided in standalone mode only and should be regarded as a foretaste of a more advanced commercial version in development, due to be released during 2018.

    cabbage
    A framework for audio software development
    Cabbage is a framework for audio software development. Using simple markup text and the Csound audio synthesis language users can target Windows, OSX, Linux and Android with a single piece of source code.



    [​IMG]

    http://cabbageaudio.com/docs/introduction/
    Introduction
    Cabbage is a software for prototyping and developing audio instruments with the Csound audio synthesis language. Instrument development and prototyping is carried out with the main Cabbage IDE. Users write and compile Csound code in a code editor. If one wishes one can also create a graphical frontend, although this is no longer a requirement for Cabbage. Any Csound file can be run with Cabbage, regardless of whether or not it has a graphical interface. Cabbage is designed for realtime processing in mind. It is possible to use Cabbage to run Csound in the more traditional score-driven way, but your success may vary.

    Cabbage is a 'host' application. It treats each and every Csound instruments as a unique audio plugin, which gets added to a digital audio graph (DAG) once it is compiled. The graph can be opened and edited at any point during a performance. If one wishes to use one of their Csound instruments in another audio plugin host, such as Reaper, Live, Bitwig, Ardour, QTractor, etc, they can export the instrument through the 'Export instrument' option.

    Over 200 free and open source audio plugins (VST or AU) !!! :wink::wink::wink:
    Cabbage ships with over 200 audio instruments that which can be quickly exported as VST or AudioUnit plugins. The collection, developed by sound designer Iain McCurdy is one of the largest and most extensive collection of free plugins on the planet. Simply use the 'Export all examples' menu command from the main Cabbage IDE and away you go.

    FEATURES
    Cross Platform

    Cabbage can be run on Windows, OSX and on Linux.

    Standalone Software
    Cabbage instruments and effects can easily be exported and run as standalone software without the need of a host program or DAW.

    VST Export
    Users can export instruments and effects as fully functional VST plugins to be run inside your favourite host/DAW.

    AU Export
    Cabbage instruments and effects can be exported as AudioUnit MusicDevices, or MusicEffects and hosted in a range of Apple DAWs.

    Integrated patcher
    The Cabbage patcher exposes the underlying audio graph. Complex processing chains can be developed, saved and recalled later.

    Share
    Users can share plugins/instruments as text files to be used on Windows, OSX, Linux and Android.

    Python Scripts
    Custom Python scripts can be embedded directly into an instrument's underlying source code.

    Multichannel
    Cabbage can be run as a multichannel software, both in standalone and in audio plugin mode.

    Automate
    Csound can be used to automate any of the plugin controls, and to save and load session data.

    MIDI Instruments
    Not into audio processing? That's Ok, Cabbage lets you easily build MIDI only instruments.

    Signal Gen
    Users have up to 1300 different signal generators/modifiers available.

    Control Widgets
    Csound can be used to control the state and behavior of any widget. This means widgets can be programmed to move around the screen, change colour or size, morph or fade into other controls, as well as lots of other funky operations!

    GUI Controls
    GUI controls include sliders/knobs/buttons/xypads/waveform/envelope editors, checkboxes/text editors/file browsers/listboxes, etc.

    WYSIWYG GUI Editor
    Design GUI interfaces using the integrated GUI editor. Inserting a widget will give you access to it properties panel which will let you control all aspects of it's look and behaviour.

    Fully customisable interface
    Everything you see in the Cabbage IDE can be customised in terms of look and feel. Open the settings dialogue and select create your own custom theme.

    Theme with SVG
    Customise your Widgets with Scalable Vector Graphics (.svg's).

    OSC Support
    Both desktop and Android versions of Cabbage support OSC. Cabbage instruments can be built to take control of other instruments, or indeed third party software over a shared network.

    Download Sote’s free Holy Error sample pack

    Sote: Radical Electronics from Iran
    [​IMG]

    Iran is probably not the first place that comes to mind when thinking about modern electronic music. After the revolution of 1979 transformed the country into an Islamic Republic, political tensions, economic sanctions and cultural isolation all kept the country’s music culture turned squarely inward. From the 1980s onward, traditional folk and classical music were the only officially approved forms and pop and rock musicians went underground, forced to perform well outside the view of censors. Obtaining and listening to music from outside the country was difficult and at times dangerous and only in the last decade or so have Iran’s citizens – thanks largely to widespread internet access – been able to freely follow and participate in worldwide developments in music.

    Some restrictions are still in place, but because electronic music is largely wordless, it is widely perceived to be less of a corrupting influence on the youth of Iran and so electronic musicians are afforded a certain degree of freedom to perform, organize festivals and even tour outside of the country. In this rapidly evolving scene, Ata Etbekar aka Sote occupies a somewhat unusual position; having lived in Germany and the US for most of his life and released on labels such as Warp, Sub Rosa, and Morphine, the now Tehran-based artist is familiar with the realities of music making both inside and outside of Iran. Translating this dual perspective to his artistic practice, Sote’s most recent album, the critically acclaimed Sacred Horror In Design, brings his advanced synthesis techniques into dialogue with traditional Persian instruments. The resulting unsteady rhythms, radical sound transformations and extreme timbres make for an at times challenging listen. But there is also much that is immediately rewarding, delicate and beautiful in Sote’s musical meditations on opposition and reconciliation.

    In our interview, Ata delves into the details of the recording and live performance of the album. He also traces his musical upbringing and sketches the current situation for music makers in Iran. Plus, he shares samples from the track “Holy Error” which you can download for free and use to make your own version.

    Sounds In Context: Sampled Instruments from Pre-Columbian America

    What did the music of America sound like before the arrival of Europeans? What sounds inspired music in the pre-Columbian age? How were the instruments that reproduce them created? What everyday and ritual activities was music a part of?

    The Metaphor of Sound, a recent exhibition, at the Museo del Oro in San José, Costa Rica invited visitors to ask these questions – and many others – as they took a tour of more than 60 musical instruments dating from 500 BC to 1550 AD. Flutes, bell clusters, whistles, maracas, ocarinas (a type of wind instrument), and rattles from the North and South Pacific as well as the Central Caribbean region of Costa Rica were among the objects on display.

    [​IMG]
    Some anthropomorphic and zoomorphic instruments of pre-Columbian America

    Music was of great social and cultural importance in pre-Columbian societies, particularly for the collective as whole. And so it was only fitting that, after having been brought into the Metaphor of Sound project through colleagues, Charly Fariseo – a musician, producer and Ableton Live trainer based in San José – decided to take the archeological idea of preservation and interpretation one step further.

    Fariseo asked himself, why keep these instruments in ‘silence’ when we have the ability to extract their sounds, share them with the world and explore them with today’s music technology? With this in mind, Fariseo dove into the task of making multi-sample recordings of some of the exhibit’s instruments and then building them into playable Ableton Instrument Racks.

  7. I had funky issues at this website. New pages automatically and without prompting opening, etc. I am going to open it up in Sandbox as I am not quite sure of this one. Have you had a similar experience?

    Didn't have the problems that you have described. Smooth experience visiting their website. I'm using FIREFOX 58.0.2 with uBLOCK 1.15.10. Side-note : I have not tested the plugin yet either.

    SpectralHarp
    SpectralHarp lets you strum the sound spectrum in various ways by giving you a set of strings that activate different frequencies depending on how you configure them. You can choose the portion of the sound spectrum you want to strum as well as how many strings to display from that portion. There are additional knobs for Pitch, Decay, and Crush, which allow you to further modify the sound.

    The standalone version also supports controlling parameters with MIDI: simply right-click on a control, select MIDI Learn, and then twiddle a knob on your connected device to map it to that control.

    "Acoustica’s user interface is elegant and user-friendly, and it provides an astounding range of high-quality tools for audio editing , unbelievable value for money.”Sound on Sound.
    [​IMG]

    Acoustica is a comprehensive audio editor for recording, editing, mixing and mastering. The intuitive user interface was designed with speed, accuracy and ease-of-use in mind and offers a large set of high quality processing tools to make your recordings sound the best. The consistent workflow simplifies your audio production work and batch processing, powerful audio restoration tools as well as Red Book compatible CD burning is also included.

    Acoustica 6 is available in three editions – the free Basic Edition, the Standard Edition and the Premium Edition which supports 5.1 and 7.1 channel surround and includes extended processing tools and the same audio restoration algorithms as found in the Restoration Suite.

    Features
    • Ultimate Audio Quality
    Acoustica offers support for state-of-the-art audio resolutions up to 32 bit and sampling rates up to 384 kHz, ensuring that all of your work comes across at the highest quality. Acoustica Premium Edition even supports multichannel audio recording and editing such as 5.1 and 7.1 surround sound.

    • Audio Restoration
    Integrated audio restoration tools help you get the most out of recordings impaired by background noise, clicks, crackle, clipping or missing high frequency content. The Premium Edition contains the same set of professional tools as our Restoration Suite.

    • Multitrack Editing
    New in Acoustica 6 is the ability to edit multitrack audio. Both the Standard and the Premium Edition allows you to mix audio from different tracks in real-time, add audio effects to tracks or easily create cross-fades. You can even loop or time stretch clips directly from the multitrack timeline.

    • Processing Tools
    High quality audio tools and effects are integrated such as dynamic processing, limiter, equalising, reverb, convolution reverb, chorus and flanger. You can also modify tempo and key of your recordings independently using the superb quality time stretching and transpose tools.

    • Effect Chains and Plug-In Support
    You can create complete chains of processing tools, including external plug-ins, and save them along with all the parameter settings for later use. VST and DirectX plug-in support allows you to access a vast number of both free and commercial third party audio processing plug-ins directly from Acoustica.

    • Analysis Tools
    Powerful offline analysis tools are available, including spectrum, spectrogram and wavelet analysis. Real-time analysers such as K-System level meters, phase correlation meters and spectrum analysers allow you to monitor your audio output visually in real time during playback.

    Other Improvements:

    • Improved VST preset handling which is more consistent with how presets are managed for the internal processing tools
    • Automatic recovery of recordings if suffering from unexpected computer shut-downs
    • WAVE64 – support for files bigger than 4 GB now also in the Basic and Standard Edition

    Evaluator
    A downloadable Sound Toy for Windows and macOS

    [​IMG]
    Download NowName your own price
    Write short C-style programs whose output is used to generate sound!

    Evaluator is inspired by bytebeat, a "genre" of music discovered by viznut, which he documented in several youtube videos.

    Evaluator's approach, however, is not purist, and its language is not C. The language contains much of the same syntax, most of the operators, and the same operator precedence, but introduces some additional features that make generating musical sounds a little bit easier and also make real-time MIDI control of the program possible. It also includes several built-in presets that demonstrate all the language features, supports save/load to fxp, and loading a program from a plain text file.

    The basic idea is that a program operating on 64-bit unsigned integers is used to generate every audio sample. The program essentially runs in a while loop that automatically increments the variables t, m, and q before executing the program code each time.

    Why make a clipper when there are already so many?
    Little Clipper is the lighter, smaller version of it’s big brother (Big Clipper). Clipping is one of the more misunderstood processes in mixing. When used correctly, it can make mixing easier. Things just fall into place better and dynamics stay under control. As it is with all effects however, it’s easy to overdo. Little Clipper makes it easy to dial in with clear meters that show you how much clipping is occurring, and all the essential features that let you dial in your clipping to be just the right amount.

    Hard/Soft Clipping
    Sometimes you need crisp hard clipping, sometimes you need smoother soft clipping. Little Clipper lets you choose easily how hard you want your clipping to be.

    Stereo or Mid/Side
    Little Clipper lets you choose your channel configuration for stereo tracks. We have found that clipping often sounds much more natural in Mid/Side mode on stereo buses. It even lets you clip only the mid or side channels without affecting the other, giving you even more control over your clipping.

    I thought clipping was bad. Why would I do it on purpose?
    Just like all effects, clipping is bad when you do it accidentally. When used purposefully, it’s a powerful tool that that can be used to increase your apparent dynamics without making your peaks jump all over the place. It’s especially powerful on drums. Just a little bit of clipping your snare before your compressor will give your compressor much more natural sounding, predictable results.
