Soundtoys 5 – new massive effects collection and plug-ins

October 13, 2015 · Posted in Uncategorized · Comments Off on Soundtoys 5 – new massive effects collection and plug-ins

SoundToys has launched Soundtoys 5, a new effects collection that includes the entire line of Soundtoys plug-ins in one package. Soundtoys 5 adds the new Soundtoys Effect Rack, Little AlterBoy, and the new PrimalTap retro delay plug-in.

New Effect Rack

At the core of Soundtoys 5 is the new Effect Rack, a powerful multi-effects processor that improves workflow by providing a single place to browse the entire Soundtoys effects catalog, and to mix, match, tweak and save combinations of Soundtoys effects. The Effect Rack’s global controls – input and output trim, wet/dry mix, tempo, and the unique “Recycle” control – make it possible to create effects that would otherwise require complicated routing in most DAWs. The Effect Rack ships with over 200 factory presets covering a wide range of effects, from basic saturation and coloration to lush delays, chorus, filters, modulation, rhythmic, and extreme sound design effects.

All Soundtoys effects are carefully handcrafted, based on decades of experience creating professional effect processing hardware and software, and inspired by Soundtoys’ extensive collection of rare and classic studio gear. In addition to the Effect Rack, Soundtoys 5 includes expanded delay time for EchoBoy and Crystallizer, new, redesigned Tweak panels, enhanced groove control for Tremolator, and an improved LFO waveshape and rhythm editor that makes it easy to create custom beat-synced modulation patterns.

Soundtoys 5 also includes the complete line of Soundtoys effects plug-ins:

  • Saturation, compression and distortion: Decapitator, Radiator, and Devil-Loc.
  • Vintage and modern echo and delay: EchoBoy and PrimalTap.
  • Pitch, chorus and widening effects: Crystallizer and MicroShift.
  • Voice alteration: Little AlterBoy.
  • Modulation and beat-synced rhythmic effects: PanMan, Tremolator, FilterFreak 1 and 2, and PhaseMistress.
  • All of the plug-ins in the Soundtoys 5 collection can also be used outside the Effect Rack, preserving workflow and session compatibility with earlier versions of Soundtoys effects.

Little AlterBoy

Little AlterBoy is a vocal effects plug-in that features pitch and formant shifting, distortion, pitch-quantize tuning effects, and robotic voice effects. Little AlterBoy was recently released for purchase after being offered as a free plug-in during Soundtoys’ Plugged-in Austin sharing promotion during SXSW 2015.

Primal Tap

PrimalTap, Soundtoys’ newest effect plug-in, is the company’s take on an early hardware studio delay processor. PrimalTap captures the highly distinctive sonic imprint of its quirky hardware inspiration, bringing with it a healthy dose of lo-fi grit and vibe. Like the original, PrimalTap has two delay outputs, a built-in LFO, and a “Freeze” and “Multiply” function for capturing and modifying simple loops. Soundtoys has expanded the modulation and feedback options over the original, and added tempo-locked delay and loop times, taking PrimalTap far beyond just a simple emulation.

Price: $499 at soundtoys.com. The release offers a new iLok dongle-optional licensing option and two activations per license – allowing users to choose two activations such as a studio computer, laptop or iLok.

bx_opto – new powerful compressor effect plug-in by Brainworx

June 25, 2015 · Posted in Uncategorized · Comments Off on bx_opto – new powerful compressor effect plug-in by Brainworx 

Plugin-Alliance-bx_opto-700x422

Plugin Alliance has launched bx_opto, a compressor effect plug-in by Brainworx.

The Brainworx bx_opto compressor combines some of the best colors, character and features from what Brainworx has learned modeling the optical circuits of some of the world’s best-loved compressors. Rather than recreating a hardware product in software, the bx_opto takes the best aspects and anomalies from these legendary light-dependent circuits to create a software compressor you’ll wish you could buy a hardware version of. The result is a beastly little dynamics processor, teeming with character and spitting out sounds no analog optical compressor can.

Most optical compressors are appreciated for their musical, program dependent character introduced by anomalies in the light dependent circuitry of the sidechain; the general speed of compression is cemented by the given behavior of the compressor’s Light Dependent Resistor (LDR). Hardware opto-compressors can only allow users the ability to adjust the effect of this character by introducing a separate resistance circuit that gives some control over the compression envelope.

bx_opto features

  • Analog, optical compression colors with more control.
  • Content-dependent peak reduction / compression with one knob.
  • ‘Speed’ knob controls the coefficient of Light Dependent Resistor, creating unique transient response.
  • Fully sweepable (20 Hz – 20 kHz) LP/HP/BP (wide)/ BP (narrow) sidechain filter .
  • Wet/Dry mix for parallel compression .
  • Accurate metering for reading amount of gain reduction.
  • NOT a transparent compressor; gently level or completely raze your sound with harmonically pleasant results.

bx_opto for Windows and Mac (VST/AU/RTAS/AAX/AudioSuite) is available for purchase for $149 USD.

Antresol – new stereo flanger plugin inspired by classic analog BBD flangers

June 22, 2015 · Posted in Uncategorized · Comments Off on Antresol – new stereo flanger plugin inspired by classic analog BBD flangers 

Promotional video about Antresol showing some key features of the plug-in.

Here’s what they have to say about it:

The original, conceived in the mid-70s, quickly became a benchmark for flanger-type effects by offering a uniquely rich character defined by luxuriously harmonious interacting resonances, and has been heard ever since on countless classic recordings. That’s why D16 couldn’t resist the opportunity to resurrect the soul of this classic in a thoroughly modern incarnation with Antresol, our newest effect in the SilverLine Collection!

gui

Features:

  • True emulation of BBD based analog delay line
  • Optional independent parameter control for each stereo channel

  • ‘Mistress mode’ allows the whole unit to work the same as the classic flanger
  • LFO can be synchronized with your host application
  • 3 different LFO-to-BBD clock curves
  • Ultra-low aliasing output
  • Highly musical and pleasant sound
  • Tag-based browser
