Steinberg-Retrologue-2-Oscillators-700x486

Steinberg has announced the release of Retrologue 2, the second iteration of the virtual analog synthesizer, which now offers more oscillators and filter types, a novel Resonator, programmable Arpeggiator, new means of modulation, additional effects and hundreds of exciting new presets.

Compatible with both VST and AU hosts, this versatile synthesizer conveys ample power and provides a vast range of sounds that add to its tonal richness and complexity. Picking up where the highly acclaimed previous version left off, Retrologue 2 meticulously emulates the sound of analog circuitry and its associated warmth.

Three virtual analog oscillators provide up to eight de-tunable voices alongside an additional sub oscillator and noise generator. The filter section comprises 24 filter shapes and five distortion modes. The ultra-flexible Arpeggiator, a powerful modulation system and comprehensive set of effects, including reverb, delay and the innovative three-band Resonator, stretch the creative envelope, only to be complemented by the extensive collection of exclusive presets.

A 30-day trial version of Retrologue 2 for evaluation without feature restrictions is available from the product pages.

“Our goal was to increase the sonic spectrum of Retrologue 2 with new features without losing the intuitive concept of the instrument,” said Matthias Quellmann, Senior Marketing Manager for Steinberg. “The result is a full-fledged virtual analog synthesizer with an amazing level of quality and performance.”

Steinberg today have also released a point update to their Cubase Pro and Artist music production systems. Cubase Pro 8.5 and Cubase Artist 8.5 include Retrologue 2 and many other features and enhancements.

Retrologue 2 is available for purchase for 99.99 EUR. The update from version 1 is 49.99 EUR. Prices including German VAT.

Customers who have purchased the first version of Retrologue from October 15th, 2015, are entitled to a free downloadable Grace Period update to Retrologue 2. Customers who already have purchased Absolute 2 including the first version of Retrologue receive a free update to Retrologue 2 automatically.

Roland SH-101 Vs TR-909 live session

July 31, 2013 · Posted in Uncategorized · Comments Off on Roland SH-101 Vs TR-909 live session 

A simple live session with the Roland SH-101 Vs TR-909 recorded from the output of an Soundcraft 200sr mixer through a Steinberg MR816x interface. No additional editing, EQ, effects or compression has been added. Just the boxes, unmixed, into a laptop.
My apologies for the Ken Burns effect, I recorded the video stream seperately and ran out of space and hence lost the video.

Just a simple 1 bar sequence with the sequencer of the 101 triggered from the rimshot of the 909.
