    TOM

    We took pallet wood, worn metal, tired electronic components, a keyboard that lived a lot, and old buttons that miraculously hold.

    and here is TOM!

    A synth that sounds like the material used!

    A mix between Thérémin, Ondes Martenot and a little something, that does not exist …

    NEBULA - N4 Player
    [​IMG]Overview
    Acustica Audio is pleased to announce N4 Player. N4 Player supersedes the previously available N4 FREE which is now obsolete and no longer available. N4 Player is here to offer to all customers important new features and improvements.
    N4 Player is a multi-effect plug-in able to emulate a wide range of audio equipment and other electrical, digital or acoustic audio systems, providing a true sonic alternative to costly and bulky hardware and opening new paths to creative uses and highly realistic sounds.

    N4 Player is our new FREE tool to introduce you to a new sound experience!

    Acustica Audio made a technological leap forward and it is time to provide our customers with a new tool able to meet our latest standards, developments and accommodate for a new 3rd party products line.
    N4 Player loads N4 libraries, created by our proprietary sampling approach, and additionally, N4 Player is able to load new types of libraries and products. Feature not supported in the soon obsolete N4 FREE plug-in which support only free emulation presets and free libraries.
    Moreover, N4 Player offers a seamless crossgrade path to the paid full version of N4. Once crossgraded your created with N4 Player DAW sessions will automatically be updated to the full N4 version.

    Nomenclature
    Nebula libraries for N4.
    A Nebula library is a collection of emulation presets created with the proprietary sampling application NAT. A Nebula library for N4 can include a custom skin or use factory generic skin.

    [​IMG]


    Acqua libraries for N4.
    An Acqua library is similar to a Nebula library but it is built by merging several emulation presets into a single one, resulting in a more complex simulation with a custom user interface.

    [​IMG]

    Acqua Effect plug-ins.
    Acqua Effect plug-ins are standard standalone plug-ins in VST2, AAX and AU format. However, they can also be loaded in N4 and N4 Player to take advantage of some additional functions. For example, an Acqua Effect plug-in can be hosted into N4 allowing customers to run the Acqua Effect plug-in in a TCP/IP network using Nebula Server.

    [​IMG]


    Aquarius.
    Aquarius is a stand-alone assistant application from Acustica Audio created to help and assist users to download, install, update, and authorize all marketplace featured products.

    Marketplace.
    Acustica Audio marketplace is the Acustica Audio's on-line shop that will allow official 3rd party developers (1) to sell Nebula libraries for N4 and Acqua libraries for N4 in the same way as Acqua Effect plug-ins are being sold at the moment.

    Following N4 player and N4 update releases, marketplace will be inaugurated including new products from our official 3rd party developers (1).

    (1) With the term official 3rd party developers (1) we refer to all developers listed at the following link of our website: https://www.acustica-audio.com/pages/developers and for now we define as unofficial all 3rd party developers not included in this link, consequently it will not be possible for load their libraries in N4 Player.
    Paid N4 license is necessary to be able to load all old Nebula 3 libraries.

    Mandatory requirements
    In order to use products from the official 3rd party developers:

    - It is mandatory first to install either N4 Player or N4. Only after this it will be possible to proceed with the installation of 3rd party products.
    - Please don't install both versions of N4 - use only one of them to guarantee a proper functioning of the products!
    - Please make sure that you use an up-to-date version of N4 or N4 Player (at the point of this release N4 is version 1.1.011).
    - N4 FREE and N4 Player cannot coexist.

    The easiest way to always stay updated is to use our application Aquarius (please refer to the provided on the linked page manual for more info). Upon being loaded Aquarius performs a server check for updates. It is a good practice to open Aquarius and check if you have the latest version of our software.

    Normally we send newsletters for major updates, but do not expect notifications via email about all updates. Keep in mind the “New Product Alert” section in the forum on this website is the official place where we announce major releases.

    If a new release is creating issues you can still downgrade to the previous installed release.

    - Official 3rd party developers products will only be available in Aquarius.

    N4/N4Player user's manual will be available in a short time.

    Surround Plug-in for RTAS, VST, AU Double MS Tool BF (2012)
    The SCHOEPS "Double M/S Tool BF (2012)" plug-in enables customized, intuitive decoding of the three signals of the Double M/S system. It adds new features to the Double MS Tool (2011): rotate, focus, ambience manipulation.

    The application rider describes features and application of the "Double MS Tool BF (2012)".

    System requirements and installation:

    VST Windows/Mac: The VST plug-in is used in a sequencer program offering a Steinberg VST
    interface. The host software has to offer a multichannel VST interface such as Sequoia, Samplitude (both from v9.0), Cubase, Nuendo, Wavelab or Audio Mulch.

    VST is a registered trademark of Steinberg Media Technologies GmbH.

    Installation: Use the installer. The installation procedures will guide you and ask for the relevant paths. Digidesign Pro Tools LE systems will need the "Complete Production Toolkit" upgrade.


    [​IMG]
    Illusonic developed the plug-in and audio processing based on the concept of the original "Double MS Tool".
    The functions "Enhance pattern" and "Ambience" base on adaptive Illusonic algorithms.

    T-Chain
    -Version 1.2.0, Sept 14, 2017-
    Modules & Purchase Information | Download | Changelog


    [​IMG]

    More than a "Strip"
    T-Chain is a channel strip plugin like no other. It utilizes a modular design so users can arrange different sound modules within the signal path. It can be as simple as using a single EQ or Compressor module, or as complex as you can imagine. Each module can be rearranged, added, and deleted by drag-and-drop - making it easy to rearrange your signal chain at-will.

    [​IMG]

    The Choice is Yours
    T-Chain has numerous modules to choose from, and comes with several free modules that are easy to use, versatile, and powerful. This includes a free EQ, Compressor, Gate, and Splitter (for splitting the signal into two distinct paths). Additional modules can be purchased a la carte, and include more advanced modules such as preamp modules, oversampling capability, and more advanced dynamic modules. With more modules coming very soon.

    [​IMG]

    One Interface To Rule them All
    T-Chain has a configurable interface, from compact to full-featured. Four different layout options exist. T-Chain includes a waveform view, as well as a configurable spectrum analyzer. Whether you are compressing, EQing, or whatever, the interface of T-Chain provides a standardized user interface.

    Introducing TCS
    [​IMG]

    New to version 1.2.0 is TCS. TCS (T-Chain Single) is a plugin to load and use one T-Chain module. If you don't need all of the chaining and routing features of T-Chain but you still want to use a single module in the mix, TCS is the perfect choice. It includes many of the user interface features of T-Chain, including the waveform/spectrum display, A/B, and wet/dry mix on all modules. All the oversampling features are also included for users that have opted to purchase the Oversampling module. Just look for TCS in your DAW's plugin list after installing.

    Main Features
    • Free and Paid modules, with the ability to demo any module at any time
    • Customizable spectrum analyzer and waveform display

    T-Chain Modules
    Version 1.2.0 - Sept 14, 2017
    T-Chain includes both free and paid modules. Any of the paid modules are usable within the signal chain at any time (with a demo limitation added). This is a useful way to try out all of the various modules to see how each module performs within your workflow.

    ClipShifter (FREE Module)[​IMG]
    ClipShifter is based on LVC-Audio’s popular all-purpose clipper. ClipShifter can be set to dynamically change the clipping threshold, or set to a more traditional static clipping level.


    Digital Comp (FREE Module)[​IMG]
    The Digital Comp is a simplified compressor module that includes the same compressor engine as DDC. Instead of the common controls found on compressors, the Digital Comp simplifies some of the compressor settings by only having 4 controls and a gain reduction meter.

    Digital EQ (FREE Module)[​IMG]
    The Digital EQ is a 4-band equalizer. It includes a low shelf, high shelf, and 2 peak filters.

    Digital Gate (FREE Module)[​IMG]
    The Digital Gate is a simplified gating module. Even though the Digital Gate is not an expander-style module, the unique Range control allows for both subtle and extreme gating.

    Digital HLP (FREE Module)

    The Digital HLP is a simple high-pass and low-pass filter. It can be used to roll-off the upper and/or lower frequencies of a track. Additionally, the adjustable Q for each filter can also be increased to exaggerate certain frequencies prior to the roll-off, and a selection for analog or digital frequency response.

    Phuzz (FREE Module)
    [​IMG]

    Phuzz is a simple saturation and distortion module. It is an extension of LVC-Audio’s PhreePhuzz module, and includes similar processing features as HotPhuzz. Although the controls are minimal, Phuzz is capable of providing a wide range of sounds. Phuzz includes 7 separate multi-band saturation algorithms.

    Splitter/Mixer (FREE Module)[​IMG]
    The Splitter and Mixer modules are used in conjunction to create two different audio paths within T-Chain. The paths are viewable within the Routing window, and modules can be rearranged to be on either path. Deleting a Splitter or Mixer will also delete any added modules between the Splitter and Mixer. Additionally, it is not possible to oversample only one path of a split signal. The entire path can be oversampled, and multiple Splitters/Mixers can be inserted within T-Chain.
