Arturia marks 15th anniversary milestone with contemporary company logo and summer savings

HC News | August 01, 2014

GRENOBLE, FRANCE: music software and hardware company Arturia is proud to mark its 15th anniversary milestone with an all-new contemporary company logo and amazing summer savings for all with 50% off 15 software instruments — including its innovative iMini and iSEM iPad apps — between July 31 and September 8, inclusive...

Coming from a country that was historically hooked on guillotining its heads of state, 15 years is a long time in the cutthroat world of musical instruments and software let alone always endeavouring to remain on its cutting edge. So who better, then, to pop the proverbial champagne cork to start the ‘revolutionary’ celebrations than Arturia President Frédéric Brun. As an imaginative individual who co-founded the company back in 1999, he has valiantly led the charge to keep those cutting-edge musical instruments and software flowing forth — first from Grenoble, and additionally West Lake Village, California — all the way to this joyous occasion. “What a journey it has been since we started Arturia as students and decided to take the best that technology has to offer and bring it to musicians,” Brun begins, before adding: “And what a pleasure to celebrate our 15th anniversary this year! From the time we created Storm — a virtual studio aimed at making music creation easy and affordable — to recent hardware and hybrid hardware/software releases such as MicroBrute and BeatStep — both representing truly innovative gear for the contemporary musician — inventing new musical instruments, inspiring to everyone and accessible to many, has always been our raison d'être. This summer we are delighted to announce a promotion that may well introduce our software to new musicians. Or it may just allow seasoned producers to complete their collection just because... well, just because it is our bon plaisir!”

So why not take pleasure in saving 50% off any Arturia software instrument included in the time-limited promotion — from the introductory delights of Analog Laboratory (offering up thousands of readymade sounds from Arturia’s acclaimed Analog Classic range of virtual vintage recreations) to the all-encompassing V Collection 3.0 premium software suite (comprising ten of Arturia’s award-winning TAE® — True Analog Emulation — 64-bit software instruments, including ARP2600 V, CS-80V, Jupiter 8-V, Mini V, Modular V, Oberheim SEM V, Prophet V and Prophet VS soft synths) with many marvellous, musically-inspiring individual software instruments in between.

But before jumping for joy at this ‘guillotined’ pricing par excellence, let us collectively cast our minds back over some of this cutting-edge company’s milestones during its illustrious history: having kicked up a software storm with Storm, its inaugural release in 1999, Arturia proceeded to break new ground with Moog Modular V, the first recreation of a classic analogue synthesizer in March 2003. BRASS, its first instrument based on physical modelling arrived two years later. Analog Factory Experience represented Arturia’s first software/hardware hybrid instrument in 2007, while Origin, its first hardware synthesizer (housing several synth classics and associated components in one powerful, no-holds-barred DSP-based modular system), debuted in January 2009. The hybrid hardware/software SPARK Creative Drum Machine (cleverly combining analogue synthesis, physical modelling, and samples with the intuitive workflow of a hardware drum machine) followed in June 2011. May 2012 saw Arturia turning industry heads when introducing the cost-conscious MiniBrute, an amazingly compact and bijou analogue monosynth (boasting MIDI, USB, and CV connectivity together with a host of unique features). Arturia has since broadened its appeal further still by successfully entering the iOS soft synth market and building upon its analogue synth and hybrid hardware/software successes with an ever-increasing product release schedule in keeping with its sustained growth — 35 employees and counting.

Speaking of which, given that turnover has risen by 470% during the last four years with a 55% increase in the last fiscal year alone, Arturia assuredly has much to sing and dance about. And what better way to do that than by making some serious celebratory noise with some seriously discounted software instruments! Vive la France — with more than a little help from our Californian colleagues, obviously. Or maybe we would be better off by simply saying: Santé! Join us as we raise a glass together to toast our past, present, and future. Here’s to the next 15 years!

Sound Magic Releases Neo Piano, a collection of great sounding grand pianos

HC News | August 01, 2014

Neo Piano is a collection/bundle of 4 great sounding grand pianos at a discount price (40% off). It includes a Bosendorfer Imperial Grand, A vintage Steinway D, A Fazioli “Brunei” and a vintage upright. With them, you can cover most styles of music and always has great sounding piano sound. Neo Piano cost €299/$399/£249.

Neo Piano features a custom built Hybrid DFD/RAM system. It is a very flexible system which can be optimised for different playing applications. If you are using an old system with low RAM,DFD will work well. If you are using a top performance 64bit system with plenty of RAM, you can choose to play Neo Piano totally from RAM. A balance of DFD and RAM samples can be utilised to optimise general performance. In All cases Sound Quality remains at the highest level.

The core of the Neo Piano Engine is the intelligent analyze system which evaluates a MIDI track or performance to determine the Optimum balance between RAM and DFD usage. You can choose the amount of RAM available to Neo Piano to use. For live stage performances, the entire piano sample set can be loaded into RAM, removing any worries about OS interference with Hard Disc access. For Studio and Composition use, DFD is ideal with modern computers.

The new Neo Piano Engine has been totally redesigned and consumes much less CPU than before (1/10 of the previous version) and also better DFD performance (15mb/s requirement for hard disk speed which is around 1/10 for modern hard disks and even less for SSD, so this minimizes the possibility of glitches and pops due to reading the hard drive)

Standard sampled piano sounds are always static with no interaction between the strings while playing, but the NEO Piano Engine recreates these ethereal harmonic changes, generating subtle sympathetic resonances based the notes being played at any given moment. The NEO Piano Engine is constantly evolving, reproducing this interaction between strings, breathing life into the piano sound, recreating the souls of a real instrument.

The new user defined Damping system emulates real damper behaviour precisely and you can decide whether you want to play a ‘tight’ brand new piano, a typical bedded-in piano or a ‘loose’ well-worn old piano.

The NEO Piano Engine gives you absolute control over every aspect of a piano - you can even design your own piano! There are nearly 40 controls waiting for you to adjust. Lift the lid, alter the dampers, change the velocity response, apply a ‘Style’ or Resonance, adjust the player/audience perspective the combination of options is astounding!

In Session Audio releases Producer Pop Acoustic Guitar for Kontakt, WAV & AIF formats

Producer Pop Acoustic Guitar is a loop library of strummed progressions, picked patterns and toolbox performances styled around current production values.

With ballads, feel-good midtempo grooves and driving upbeat rhythms, Producer Pop Acoustic Guitar covers a range of styles, tempos and keys.

So whether a song needs a simple, natural strum to accompany a vocal, or the shimmer of double-tracked guitars, Producer Pop Acoustic Guitar helps songwriters and instrumentalists create music that belongs in the professional realm.

Producer’s Notes:

When beginning this library we started with the question, “What would a producer ask a guitar player to do in their song?” This question helped form Producer Pop Acoustic Guitar in the following ways:

Each suite features a “Guitar A” and “Guitar B” set of loops playing distinct, but complementary parts. For further differentiation, the “A” and “B” sets were cut using different guitars, often with the “B” parts played higher on the neck, with a capo.

Every suite features a flexible, song-like structure. Furthermore, each suite has a toolbox selection of rhythms and sustained chords that relate to the overall feel and key of the song, designed to give the user additional compositional freedom.

The library was created using Taylor, Takamine and Bedell steel string acoustics, a La Patrie nylon string, and a Martin in “Nashville” tuning, all recorded with a pair of Shure SM81 microphones.”

Specifications:

Size: Approximately 1 GB for each format when uncompressed; inclusive of the Bonus Set.
Parts: 450+; inclusive of the Bonus Set
Sound: Dry (no reverb). Kontakt users have a menu of reverb types and other effects that can be applied and modified.
Copy Protected: Custom Watermarked
Quality: Stereo 24 bit 44.1kHz
Available Formats: Kontakt, Wav or Aiff.
Requirements: The Kontakt format of the library requires the full-retail version of Native Instruments’ Kontakt 5.1 or higher.
The free Kontakt Player is not recommend as it only allows 15 minutes of use before timing out.
The installer requires an internet enabled computer and Windows XP or higher or Mac 10.5 or higher.

Available now via download at: http://insessionaudio.com/products/producer-pop-acoustic-guitar

Price: $79.99

About In Session Audio:

Complete with Snakepit 15 Watt Amplifier and Free Online Lessons!

Nashville, TN, August 1, 2014—Epiphone is proud to present two new Les Paul packages endorsed and promoted by Slash himself – the “AFD” (Appetite for Destruction) Les Paul Performance Pack and the Slash “AFD” LP Special-II Guitar Outfit.

The Epiphone Slash “AFD” Les Paul Performance Pack is the premium combination for guitar players featuring an incredible all-inclusive, all-pro package for beginners and experts alike. The Slash “AFD” Performance Pack includes a Slash-designed Les Paul Special-II in classic Appetite Amber finish with a premium gig bag, plus a 15-watt Slash “Snakepit’ amp with 2-channels and a full EQ section with headphone output, custom Slash signature picks and free online lessons from eMedia. The Slash “AFD” LP-Special Guitar Outfit includes the same Slash-designed Les Paul Special II in Appetite Amber plus a premium gigbag, picks and eMedia guitar lessons.

It doesn’t get more rock n’ roll than Slash – the legendary rock star has a long history as one of Epiphone’s premier signature artists and now, the Rock and Roll Hall of Famer and former Guns N’ Roses guitarist has made it possible to for guitar players to own Appetite for Destruction wherever they are!

“In many ways, Slash is the ultimate Les Paul player and it is always an honor working with Slash because just like Epiphone, he wants to give everyone a chance to play a professional instrument,” said Epiphone President Jim Rosenberg. “Slash helped design the Les Paul Special-II for our new Performance Pack and Guitar Outfit along with the ‘Snakepit’ amplifier and we are already hearing from pros out there who want this guitar!”

Slash “AFD”Les Paul Special-II: Appetite for Rock!

Slash himself helped design the Slash “AFD” Les Paul Special-II with an Appetite Amber finish, which was inspired by his own custom Les Paul he uses on stage. The Slash “AFD” Les Paul Special-II features Epiphone’s new Ceramic Plus^TM Zebra Coil humbucker pickup which is hotter than typical humbuckers and perfect for hard rock and metal. Additionally, the Slash “AFD” Les Paul Special-II comes with a Shadow^® E-Tuner built directly on the bridge pickup mounting ring so players no longer need to keep their tuner clipped on their headstock or remember it on the way to a gig.

Slash “Snakepit-15” Amp

The “AFD” Performance Pack also includes the new “Slash-approved” Snakepit-15 amp – a small, low-watt amplifier that is gives players a focused and razor sharp tone. Slash’s custom designed “Snakepit-15” 15 watt amp features an 8” Electar G8 Classic-25 4-ohm speaker in an open-back cabinet that delivers terrific midrange crunch as well as clean chimey tones due to its two uniquely voiced channels and a full EQ section featuring controls for Treble, Middle, and Bass.

Both the Slash “AFD” Performance Pack and Slash “AFD” Les Paul Outfit include a premium gigbag with Slash’s “Snakepit” logo in white, 3 Dunlop^® Tortex^TM Slash signature picks in three colors (white, black and purple), a guitar strap and free online lessons from eMedia.

**Nucleus SoundLab releases Filter Research 4 ReFill for Propellerhead Synchronous**

Back in 2008, Nucleus SoundLab released the world's first effects Reason ReFill - Filter Research 1. Now, almost exactly six years later, we are continuing to evolve effects sound design with Filter Research 4! This ReFill is built to specifically take advantage of Propellerhead's new pattern-based effect Rack Extension - Synchronous. With the power of Synchronous available, a whole new range of creative effects patches is now possible.

Synchronous allows for effects that have a vast amount of dynamics, with it's capability to draw flexible modulation curves. With that sonic potential, our team of experienced Reason sound designers - who actually created the entire Synchronous factory patch library - has crafted a set of patches designed to bring a new sense of movement to whatever type of audio you want to process. The results of our work are MIDI-triggered stutters, complex robotic ambiences, gritty saturations, deep space FX, hybrid filterscapes and so much more.

You won't be disappointed with Filter Research 4's attention to detail. All the standard highlights of Nucleus SoundLab ReFills are still present: Unique Combinators with unique Combinator controls; full categorization of both Combinators and device patches; careful volume-balancing for every single patch. This time the pitch-bend and modwheel are also mapped to creative destinations to put even more effects power at your fingertips! Whether you need to mangle a sample beyond recognition, or just add some subtle sizzle to your productions, Filter Research 4 has just what it takes to make it happen.

158 unique effects Combinators across 13 categories.
All Combinator rotaries/buttons/modwheel/pitchwheel uniquely mapped.
Patches designed by veteran Reason sound designers.
Requires: Synchronous Rack Extension

Filter Research 4 is available for purchase now, at a price of $49 USD.

Jensen® P10R-F

Jensen® Musical Instrument Speakers is pleased to announce the addition of the P10R-F to our speaker offerings. The P10R-F is for those who desire the tone of a classic broken-in 10” Alnico speaker.

The P10R-F was designed by the Jensen® factory in cooperation with Fender® for the reissue of the Fender’57 Bandmaster® and the 20th Anniversary Vibro King®. The goal was to design a P10R speaker with a more broken-in, worn sound straight out of the box. The P10R-F has a smooth, round top-end and a full-bodied low-end response; it distorts at lower levels and still maintains the Vintage classic tonalities of the legendary P10R.

Alnico speakers produce a sweet, warm tone. They respond quickly, giving the musician a “one with the amp” feel. Alnico speakers are world-renowned as the most premium speakers with the best tone.

For more information, including detailed specification sheets and sound samples for the new P10R-F, visit jensentone.com.
