Synthex, Morphex and Graphex

Tweet

The Synthex analog synth and sound effects generator gives you all the “full-force, knob-turning analog power” you could want in a little red box. The driving element of Synthex is a VCO that outputs square and triangle waveforms. It also has two external audio inputs for creating hard sync and FM effects; dedicated crossfaders for controlling the Mix and Levels; and a switch for reconfiguring the internal signal path.

Likewise, the Morphex is monster-green, hybrid analog synth and effect unit that takes any two line-level sounds and morphs between them in “beautiful and bizarre” ways. It’s ideal for creating distorted and warped sounds.

The Graphex, on the other hand, is a dynamic gating and rhythm effect ideal for creating and manipulating “trance-gate” patterns, 303-style accents, drum loop edits, and stutter effects. The blue-hued unit performs all chopping and gating actions in real-time.

Focusrite launches Scarlett

Tweet

If it is the ultimate as they claim remains to be seen, but it sure looks promising

Focusrite is pleased to introduce Scarlett, a professional software suite that provides the definitive collection of compression, gating, EQ, and reverb plug-ins for tracking and mixing.

 

From one of the most prestigious names in pro audio, made famous by the original Red range and the classic ISA console modules, Scarlett provides a beautiful upgrade for any Digital Audio Workstation. Not only does it sound great, the Scarlett user interface features a stunning Red anodized aluminum look featuring intricately modeled, life-like VU meters, setting the standard for drop-dead gorgeous plug-ins.

Each powerful Focusrite plug-in has a host of fast and easy-to-use presets, providing a great starting point for processing everything from vocals and guitars to synth bass and percussion. In addition, every plug-in parameter can be finely tuned to achieve the desired sound. So for preset users and perfectionists alike, Scarlett is destined to become the new ‘go-to’ plug-in.

Scarlett works under VST, AU and RTAS (Pro Tools) hosts, and runs on Macs and PCs, making it the perfect bundle for any music software user.

Features:
– Unmatched Sonic Quality
From the team behind the Forté Suite and the famous Focusrite hardware line. Focusrite has provided that final polish and shine to thousands of hit records over the last two decades.
– Faithful Recreation Of Classic Compressors & Gates
Modeled on original ear-tuned hardware optical compressors, exclusive to Focusrite, Scarlett’s dynamics modules deliver that authentic 1960s Opto sound.
– Multi-modes Enable Creative Gating Techniques
The Gate can operate in stereo mode and, in different dual mono configurations, one signal can be used to trigger the gate of another. Ideal for tightening up a bass line, for example.
– Classic Focusrite EQ Curves & Controls
Scarlett uses the same Focusrite six-band EQ approach as the Red 2 and ISA EQs, with filters, parametric mids and shelving, all modeled to offer an authentic response across the entire audible frequency spectrum.
– Professional Reverb With Concise Controls
Based on classic algorithmic studio reverb designs, this reverb delivers a remarkable level of sonic quality for your recording projects. Easy to use controls get you to the ideal reverb sound in seconds.
– Stunning GUI With Life-like Port-hole VU Meters
Scarlett features a red anodized aluminum look, extremely detailed metering and other visual elements from Focusrite’s illustrious recording history, making Scarlett look as good as it sounds.

The first system contains 8 panel units and sufficient blank panels to fill the voids:

System #1 1 Model 201e – 12 Powered Cabinet 1 Model 225e Midi Decoder/Preset Manager 1 Model 227e System Interface (2 panel units) 2 Model 261e Complex Waveform Generator 1 Model 281e Quad Function Generator 1 Model 291e Triple Morphing Filter 1 Model 292e Quad Dynamics Manager Total Panel units – 8 System Price – $9950

The Addition of a Router, a Source of Uncertainty and an Arbitrary Function Generator bring us to the second suggested system:

System #2 1 Model 201e – 12 Powered Cabinet 1 Model 210e Control and Signal Router 1 Model 225e Midi Decoder/Preset Manager 1 Model 227e System Interface (2 panel units) 1 Model 250e Arbitrary Function Generator (2 panel units) 2 Model 261e Complex Waveform Generator 1 Model 266e Source of Uncertainty 1 Model 281e Quad Function Generator 1 Model 291e Triple Morphing Filter 1 Model 292e Quad Dynamics Manager Total Panel units – 12 System Price – $14,000

Here’s a fully loaded 18 panel unit system that features the 222e (its finally shipping):

System #3 1 Model 201e – 18 Powered Cabinet 1 Model 210e Control and Signal Router 1 Model 222e Multi Dimensional Kinesthetic Input Port (4 panel units) 1 Model 225e Midi Decoder/Preset Manager 1 Model 227e System Interface (2 panel units) 1 Model 250e Arbitrary Function Generator (2 panel units) 3 Model 261e Complex Waveform Generator 1 Model 266e Source of Uncertainty 1 Model 281e Quad Function Generator 1 Model 285e Frequency Shifter / Balanced Modulator 1 Model 291e Triple Morphing Filter 1 Model 292e Quad Dynamics Manager Total Panel units – 18 System Price – $19,650

Here’s a system with 24 panel units, all crammed into our new 201e-24 cabinet. This is not a system to be packing around from gig to gig, but it’s certainly great for the studio.

System #4 1 Model 201e – 24 Powered Cabinet 1 Model 210e Control and Signal Router 1 Model 222e Multi Dim Kinesthetic Input Port 1 Model 225e Midi Decoder/Preset Manager 1 Model 227e System Interface (2 panel units) 1 Model 250e Arbitrary Function Generator (2 panel units) 1 Model 256e Control Voltage Processor 4 Model 261e Complex Waveform Generator 1 Model 266e Source of Uncertainty 2 Model 281e Quad Function Generator 1 Model 285e Frequency Shifter / Balanced Modulator 2 Model 291e Triple Morphing Filter 2 Model 292e Quad Dynamics Manager 1 Model 297 Infinite Phase Shifter Total panel units – 24 System price – $26,800

But if you must pack a big one around, we’d suggest system #5, which substitutes a 206e mixer / preset manager for the 297 Infinite phase shifter and two smaller cabinets for the monstrous 201e – 24.

System #5 2 Model 201e – 12 Powered Cabinets 1 Model 206e Mixer / Preset Manager 1 Model 210e Control and Signal Router 1 Model 222e Multi Dim Kinesthetic Input Port 1 Model 225e Midi Decoder/Preset Manager 1 Model 227e System Interface (2 panel units) 1 Model 250e Arbitrary Function Generator 1 Model 256e Quad Control Voltage Processor 4 Model 261e Complex Waveform Generator 1 Model 266e Source of Uncertainty 2 Model 281e Quad Function Generator 1 Model 285e Freq Shifter / Balanced Modulator 2 Model 291e Triple Morphing Filter 2 Model 292e Quad Dynamics Manager Total Panel units – 24 System Price – $27,050

Next, we present a larger system – one 12 panel units and one 18 panel units:

System #6 1 Model 201e – 18 Powered Cabinet 1 Model 201e – 12 Powered Cabinet 1 Model 206e Mixer / Preset Manager 1 Model 210e Control and Signal Router 1 Model 222e Multi Dimensional Kinesthetic Input Port (4 panel units) 1 Model 225e Midi Decoder/Preset Manager 1 Model 227e System Interface (2 panel units) 2 Model 250e Arbitrary Function Generators (2 panel units each) 1 Model 256e Quad Control Voltage Processor 6 Model 261e Complex Waveform Generator 1 Model 266e Source of Uncertainty 3 Model 281e Quad Function Generator 1 Model 285e Frequency Shifter / Balanced Modulator 2 Model 291e Triple Morphing Filter 3 Model 292e Quad Dynamics Manager Total Panel units – 30 System Price – $33,300

And finally, the gourmet system, with all but the kitchen sink squeezed into two 18 panel unit cabinets:

System #7 2 Model 201e – 18 Powered Cabinets 1 Model 206e Mixer / Preset Manager 1 Model 210e Control and Signal Router 1 Model 222e Multi Dimensional Kinesthetic Input Port (4 panel units) 1 Model 225e Midi Decoder/Preset Manager 1 Model 227e System Interface (2 panel units) 2 Model 250e Arbitrary Function Generators (2 panel units each) 1 Model 255 Control Voltage Processor 1 Model 256e Quad Control Voltage Processor 1 Model 260e Duophonic Pitch Class Generator 6 Model 261e Complex Waveform Generator 1 Model 266e Source of Uncertainty 4 Model 281e Quad Function Generator 2 Model 285e Frequency Shifter / Balanced Modulator 2 Model 291e Triple Morphing Filter 4 Model 292e Quad Dynamics Manager 1 Model 297 Infinite Phase Shifter Total Panel units – 36 System Price – $39,800
