Subhuman synth – new update from de la Mancha
de la Manch announces updates to “subhuman,” a specialized double oscillator synth responsible for low down bass lines or sub-bass kicks and drops. A pitch envelope, contoured graphical envelopes and more than just envelopes have all been added.
subhuman is a specialized 2 Osc synth for creating powerful sub bass, either for low down basslines, or sub-bass kick drums and drops. subhuman has been updated to add a pitch envelope, contoured graphical envelopes, note-on sync, waveform display and oscillator phase. It also now has a pure sine oscillator for Osc1, which is generated by real-time math to avoid interpolation and give a pure signal
Subhuman now also features note-on sync, waveform display and oscillator phase. It uses a new pure sine oscillator for Osc1 that’s generated by real-time math. Add onto the pure sine waveform with Osc2 detuned and out of phase to fatten it up more.
key features

Firefox AK – Singer/song writer goes electro/synthpop – NICE!!
Make sure to check her out and support her new electro album which from a pure electro music perspective has a very nice production going and the choice of sounds is really nice. Maybe a bit too sweet for many of you, but then again at some time point you will need to do some chilling when the EBM smoke has faded..
Btw It seems that her stay in Berlin has made some impressions – to the better, hehe

Essence of Mind releases debut album
This new and young Norwegian band sounds like the new Icon Of Coil. There’s a similar sound based on strong EBM bass lines merged with technoid arrangements and powerful male vocals. The songs on the album are well-crafted dancefloor pieces marked by a huge maturity in the song writing and sound production. The opening song “Piss artist” is pure sensation! Since Icon Of coil has been lost in numerous side-projects of their members, the fans will find a real relief by discovering EOM!
