The Ring – Blocks Edition – new free Lemur for iPad template and Reaktor Blocks module
Twisted Tools has announced the release of The Ring – Blocks Edition, a free Lemur for iPad template and Reaktor Blocks module.
It’s that time of year and Twisted Tools is celebrating the holidays with a free downloadable gift and by having a storewide sale (35% OFF).
THE RING – BLOCKS EDITION is a temporal modulation tool for creative sound design and a live performance using REAKTOR Blocks. The release consists of an iPad LEMUR template and a brand new REAKTOR Blocks module, together giving you the ability to get away from the mouse and modulate your Blocks using the power of touch.
The Blocks Edition of THE RING comes with a REAKTOR Block module, called THE RING – OSC RECEIVER. This module automatically receives and converts OSC control messages sent from the iPad to audio rate control messages designed to be used as modulation signals within the REAKTOR Blocks framework. This allows you to control REAKTOR Blocks using your iPad running THE RING inside the Lemur app. The only setup required is the OSC configuration, but other than that the Blocks module takes care of the rest. Just patch away as if it was any old REAKTOR block.
The Ring – Blocks Edition features
- Advanced iPad Lemur Template by Antonio Blanca.
- Fine-tuned controls for use with REAKTOR Blocks.
- 16 assignable OSC/MIDI controls.
- REAKTOR Blocks OSC Receiver module with audio-rate modulation outs.

Ondioline – new modelled analogue instrument that runs in Kontakt Player
Soniccouture has announced the release of Ondioline, a modelled analogue instrument that runs in Kontakt Player.
The Ondioline was made in France in the 1950s /60s, and was conceived as a low cost Ondes Martenot, sharing the same lateral vibrato keyboard, with a knee-lever to shape volume. It was entirely valve-based with its own built-in amplifier and inspired the Clavioline, Jennings Univox and Hammond Solovox.
In collaboration with Goldfrapps’ Will Gregory and Dan Wilson from Hideaway Studio, Soniccouture extensively restored and modified Ondioline no.599 to be sampled and recreated as a Kontakt instrument.
Ondioline features
- 24bit 96khz Sampling.
- 3.4GB Download (6 GB instrument before Kontakt Compression).
- Full convolution modelling of original Ondioline filter switches.
- 6 octave range – every Ondioline key sampled for every oscillator shape.
- Original speaker cabinet modelling + line-out sampling.
- Ondes Martneot speaker models also included.
- Performance setup: manual vibrato & knee lever control + aftertouch + Polyphonic Mode.
- Original Georges Jenny presets included + sound design snapshots.
- Kontakt Player + NKS Compatible (Kontakt 5.5 required).
Ondioline is available for purchase for 89 EUR/$99 USD. It is fully Kontakt Player and NKS compatible.
Until December 31st, 2015, you can take advantage of the Soniccouture Winter Sale, in which you get 35% off all products (including Ondioline) with coupon code YUUAUU35 at checkout, or Buy One Get One Free by adding 2 or more products to your cart. The cheapest item will automatically be free.
The Ensembletron – new free string synthesizer plugin for Windows
Bob Leggitt of Planet Botch has announced the release of The Ensembletron, a free string synthesizer plugin for Windows.
The Ensembletron is an analogue-type string synth with bags of character and a special three-stage Ensemble effect section for rich, spatial stereo animation. Via the Tone Management controls, the Ensembletron can produce anything from ’70s vintage lo-fi to bright ’80s hi-fi. A set of simple envelope tools allow slow attack, long sustain, etc. The Sub & 5th section reinforces the sound with additional string components.
There are 12 presets, which serve as good ‘jumping off points’ for tweaking highly usable patches.
All controls are located on the front panel, so the instrument is exremely simple to use. I’ve put full instructions for use on the download page. The Ensembletron is definitely not the world’s most versatile VSTi, but I feel it performs its specialised role very well, sits nicely in mixes, etc.
The Ensembletron is a free VST instrument plugin for Windows.
