Posted on by

  • Duet — Win VST
    Double-tracking/harmonizer effect developed to enhance vocals or instruments, such as guitars, by thickening the sound and adding a rich glossy sheen to your audio material.

  • Compressive — Win VST
    Suite of professional quality audio compressors. Includes Compressive Pro (external side chain vintage analog modeled RMS compressor) and Compressive Lite with a reduced feature set for minimum CPU usage.
  • Mverb — Win VST / Mac VST / Linux VST / Source
    Studio quality, open-source reverb. Its release was intended to provide a practical demonstration of Dattorro’s figure-of-eight reverb structure and provide the open source community with a high quality reverb.

Zenhiser releses Kick Masters Techno

Posted on by

We’re back with another Kick Masters pack and this one’s a Techno monster! 150 of the finest, programmed to perfection techno kick drums that will suit just about every sub genre of Techno. It doesn’t matter if you make Full On Techno, Minimal Techno, Classic Detroit Techno, Minimal Tech, Underground Techno or even Berlin Techno, this is the kick sample pack for you. It took absolutely ages to make these techno kicks, a whole chunk of programming time then days of mastering to get the exact punch, low end drive and top end clip to make all of these techno kick drums stand out from the rest. Honestly we reckon once you purchased this Zenhiser pack this will be the only techno kick sample library you will always go to first for your techno kicks.
We’ve supplied every techno kick drum in both mono and stereo versions, we are well aware that the traditionalist will prefer their kicks in mono and the more progressive producer more likely to use the stereo version. As with all Zed 150 kicks even though the stereo versions of the kick are true stereo the main body of the kick drum sits in the centre position so what you are getting is a kick that uses all it’s power in the mono position but adds some extra wonder in the stereo field. Sounds good right, well check out the techno preview to hear these techno kicks in action. We’ve ridden the kicks a little high in the mix just to show you how much power, drive and punch they have. It took a long time in the Zenhiser studio to get these techno kicks to sit apart from the rest and we’re super happy with the result. 300 in total (mono & stereo) techno kick drums that will be spreading like wild fires through the techno scene over the coming months. So don’t get left behind, grab Kick Masters Techno now and lift your techno game to a whole new level!

Please Note: Kick Masters Techno contains only the kick drums in the preview.

Price: AUD 20.00

Sonant Live – Free online music tracker

Posted on by

Sonant Live is a minimalistic music synth and editor that runs in your browser. It has its roots in the demo scene, and was originally a Windows native tool (Sonant by Jake Taylor, aka Ferris / Youth Uprising) for creating songs for 4K demos (where neither the song data nor the music player code can be larger than a copule of thousand bytes at most).

Sonant Live is fully compatible with the original Sonant tool as well as with the js-sonant JavaScript player routine that can be used for adding music to your JavaScript demos.

Using this tool requires some patience! It is not nearly as interactive nor complete as a professional music authoring tool.
