Compact but mighty: here comes the Harmony Juno The Juno is a portable marvel inspired by one of Harmony’s much-loved shapes. Photo credit: Harmony KALAMAZOO, MI – JANUARY 8, 2020 – Harmony (w ww.harmony.co ), the world’s most cherished maker of musical instruments, today announced the launch of the Harmony Juno. The Juno is the latest addition to Harmony’s Standard Series and the highly anticipated reimagination of the iconic Harmony H44 Stratotone. Lightweight, perfectly balanced and comfortable in the hands, but still packing a big sound: it is the perfect grab and go guitar. Take it anywhere you want to go – it also comes with a free MONO Stealth Mini Case that’s exclusively designed for the Juno. The compact Juno has a single cutaway solid body with comfortable body contours and comes in three nitrocellulose finishes – Rose, Champagne and Pearl White. It has the same 3x3 style headstock as the Harmony Jupiter and is constructed with genuine mahogany and custom hardware that the Standard Series is known for. This reimagined H44 sports Harmony’s new proprietary gold foil P90s and minimalist but effective wiring that provides players with quick and powerful tonal options, and greater facility on the instrument. Head of Guitar Research & Development, Edwin Wilson shares: “We were blown away by the love for the Juno when we previewed it earlier this year. Players resonated with the tonal options at their disposal from the combination of our P90 pickups and our simple control layout. With a 3-way pickup selector and an intuitive single push-pull volume knob that provides you with two different tone presets, the Juno delivers a fuss-free array of useable tones — from warm cleans to snappy overdriven bite. “With its smaller body but full 25” scale length and C neck profile, put the Juno in any player’s hands and it will just feel right. Its simplicity, tone and sheer playability has stolen the hearts of both professionals and Harmony fans and we cannot wait for more people to get their hands on one,” he added.

Innovation Takes Flight with Crossrock’s New Air Carbon Series Acoustic Guitar Case ONTARIO, CALIF. — Guitar case innovation takes flight this year at the 2020 NAMM Show in Anaheim, Calif., with the debut of the new Air Carbon Series Acoustic Guitar Case from Crossrock Case Company. This new dreadnought-style case inherited the attributes of “Light as Air, Strong as Steel” from the previous models of the Air Carbon Series. It’s designed to be a world traveler while offering the best of both worlds: indestructible yet lightweight, rugged yet luxurious. It took Crossrock more than 15 years to develop its Air Carbon guitar case material, designed as its name implies, to feel like air on the player’s back. The team found that it’s not just the material that makes the case; it’s also the technology and design execution. Crossrock put its new Air Carbon Series Acoustic Guitar Case through extreme testing, including full barrels of water, a drop from 16-ft. stairs, hammers, and strength testing that included people jumping and standing on the case. During each test, the guitar was completely safe inside. To make its Air Carbon Series Acoustic Guitar Case nearly indestructible, Crossrock starts with a high-purity carbon fiber hard shell. This material has the added advantage of being unbelievably lightweight. Even with thick-density padding and heavy-duty latches, the case weighs only 6.5 pounds, making it one of the lightest guitar flight cases in the world. Crossrock added a TSA lock from Dupont Nylon in consideration of musicians who may fly or perform around the world. This lock assists with airline check-in and has an unbeatable performance in extreme temperatures to ensure its longevity. Beyond its tough exterior, the Air Carbon Series Acoustic Guitar Case offers a soft, luxurious blue silk-like lining that took Crossrock a full year to develop. This lining protects the guitar finishing and is an ideal combination of soft and durable. For added gear safety and comfort to the musician, Crossrock added a genuine leather handle and deluxe detachable backpack straps, both attached to the case by super strong metal D-rings. A free padded cover comes with each case to protect it from scratches. Crossrock’s mantra is “a case for the many,” and at MSRP $1249/street $999, the Air Carbon Series Acoustic Guitar Case is one that many working players can afford. To learn more, visit www.crossrockcase.com, and to see this case and others in person, be sure to stop by Crossrock’s NAMM Show booth, #5622 in Hall D. ### Some names may be trademarks of other companies

Beyond its stunning new quilt top finish with matching headstock, this new Cadi offers so much more than meets the eye. Like all Dean Guitars, this model is designed for musicians by musicians, as evident through the selection of professional-grade components. With a splash of class and sophistication that can shred, the Cadi Select Quilt Top Floyd Ocean Burst is a top-tier instrument that players can afford. The start of a new decade has presented Dean Guitars an opportunity to update timeless designs with desirable new features. The Cadi Select Quilt Top Floyd Ocean Burst starts with the classic Cadillac body style made of mahogany with a quilt maple flat top and set-thru neck construction. Like other new Select Series models, this Cadi features an easy-access satin neck made of 3pc mahogany for ease of playing and endurance. On this model, the V-shape, 22-jumbo fret neck, at 24 3/4’’ (629 mm) scale, is supported by a dual-action truss rod, and has a 12-inch (305 mm) radius with an ebony fretboard and pearloid block inlays. The 5-ply body and headstock binding and single-ply neck binding add a refined touch. As its name implies, the Cadi Select Quilt Top Floyd Ocean Burst offers a Floyd Rose 1000 tremolo bridge and a corresponding Floyd Rose R3 nut at 1 11/16’’ (43 mm) nut width. The Floyd Rose system locks the strings in providing tuning stability. Grover® tuners at the headstock assist with precise and consistent tuning. Whether shredding or divebombing, the Cadi Select Quilt Top Floyd Ocean Burst is designed for players to catch their own wave of inspiration with confidence. The Seymour Duncan TB5 bridge pickup and APH-1 neck pickup are exclusive to Dean Guitars and new additions to the latest Select Series models. Beyond their distinct zebra parchment finish and sandblasted pole pieces, these pickups offer a versatile, full tone that’s ideal for many styles and genres. The simple four speed black knobs control volume and tone, and keep the player focused on playing. The audio taper pots provide that smooth roll without destroying the tone. As an added benefit, players can enjoy all of the high-end features of the Cadi Select Quilt Top Floyd Ocean Burst at a street price of $999, a price point that won’t destroy their bank account. Prior to the 2020 NAMM Show, Dean Guitars, an Armadillo Enterprises brand, introduced the Cadi Select Quilt Top Floyd Ocean Burst and other new Select Series guitars at the company’s Armadillo All Access event at its Tampa headquarters. The exclusive event consisted of factory tours, artist clinics, product demos, one-of-a-kind instrument displays, dealer meetings, performances by some of Armadillo’s “A-list” artists, and more.

NAMM 2020: Utility Design Helps Players Learn Guitar Online Hands-Free with New Vidami Foot Controller The video looper pedal lets users manage video controls while keeping their hands on the instrument ANAHEIM, CALIFORNIA — January 3, 2020 — Utility Design has debuted the UD Vidami, a hands-free video looper pedal that integrates with YouTube and other online video players. Vidami helps users learn to play guitar by keeping their hands on the instrument and off the mouse for video controls, including pause, rewind and fast-forward. The controller can also loop user defined sections as well as slow the video down to four selectable speeds. Utility Design will display the new Vidami at Booth 1946 during the 2020 NAMM Show in Hall E- Innovator Showcase. The Vidami represents the next generation of UD’s original product the Rep pedal, which has been recommended by top YouTube guitar instructors, including Marty Schwartz, Tim Pierce and Steve Stine. Vidami easily connects to a computer via USB and uses the Vidami Chrome extension to control YouTube and other online video platforms. This makes it easier for players to stay engaged and inspired without having to take their hands off the guitar. “A recent study by Fender showed that 90% of first-time guitar players give up after the first year. With the Vidami, we are out to change that,” said Amy Hayashi-Jones, co-founder and CEO of Utility Design. “By freeing up your hands, Vidami keeps players focused and motivated while minimizing interruptions and distractions.” Revolutionize Your Learning Vidami is ideal for not only beginning players, but guitarists of all skill levels who are looking to improve their playing via online videos. Easy to use, the Vidami features five clearly labeled switches that allow players to control play/pause, rewind, fast-forward, slow down tempo and loop functions. Holding the play switch down clears all previously selected functions, while holding the rewind switch down moves playback to the beginning of the video. “Designed by our family of musicians, Vidami is the tool we wanted and needed when learning guitar, so we decided to build it and share with everyone,” Hayashi-Jones said. For more information on Utility Design and Vidami, please visit www.utility.design. About Utility Design Founded in early 2019, Utility Design is a family-run business based in Thousand Oaks, California, with a mission to help more people learn to make music.

XILS-lab elevates exciting Syn’X 2 subtractive synthesis polytimbral powerhouse to higher heights with v2.5 upgrade GRENOBLE, FRANCE: first available as Synthix back in 2011 before being relaunched to widespread critical acclaim in 2015 as Syn’X 2, audio software company XILS-lab is proud to announce availability of Syn’X 2 v2.5 — elevating its exciting- sounding subtractive synthesis polytimbral powerhouse to higher heights with a welcomed upgrade duly delivering several serious additions — as of January 6... With origins dating back to its original release as XILS-lab’s third soft synth, Syn’X 2 is a polytimbral subtractive synthesis powerhouse, paying homage to the legendary (early-Eighties-era) Elka Synthex — much loved by the likes of famous French electronic music pioneer Jean-Michel Jarre, who still uses it to this day to create the distinctive sound of his onstage laser harp — from an original-sounding sonic standpoint with the striking sound of clear and punchy DCOs (Digitally-Controlled Oscillators), but brilliantly balanced against a multilayer card-based architecture that is inspired by similarly sophisticated hardware analogue synthesizers — such as Oberheim’s mighty (mid-Eighties-era) Matrix 12 — to create a powerful and complex virtual analogue instrument fit for 21st Century discerning DAW (Digital Audio Workstation) users. Ultimately, by drawing its inspiration from two distinctive design classics, it combines eight fully-independent layers with multitimbral flexibility; up to 72 oscillators; eight exciting-sounding ZDF (Zero Delay Feedback) filters; 32 envelopes; 32 LFOs (Low Frequency Oscillators); eight glides; and more than 500 possible modulation combinations — ‘hardwired’ or user-customisable — per patch! Put it this way: with those eight layers combined with true unison, users can creatively think about using a unison mode that allows them to sculpt not just the number of oscillators but also subtle modulation variations for each of the hundreds of available parameters, including filters, envelopes, LFOs, stereo position, sync, ring modulation, frequency modulation, and more besides. Above and beyond that, though, it is perfectly possible to apply the creative concept to different layers to create complex layered sounds, such as animated epic pads, keyboard performances (where every component reacts to velocity in a different way), as well as splits that creatively combine arpeggios and bass parts, to name but a few exciting-sounding examples. Several serious additions to the Syn’X 2 v2.5 upgrade elevate this exciting-sounding subtractive synthesis polytimbral powerhouse to higher heights — namely, a new natural-sounding vintage reverb effect with high-pass filter; customisable signal path for all effects and keyboard performances, so the chorus could be positioned before the reverb or visa-versa, for example, or the chorus could be applied to a lower bass split while an upper pad feeds into the phaser and then the reverb; single- window integrated preset manager for finding patches in seconds, managing presets and sound banks, and creating customised tags; revamped 1,536-pixel-wide GUI (Graphical User Interface) with Easy and Complex modes; more factory presets with widened scope for covering more musical styles; powerful InterLayer Modulation, whereby layers can now source modulations from other layers; and integrated help engine. Meanwhile, MacOS 10.15 Catalina compatibility is a given from the outset. On the face of it, Syn’X 2 v2.5 fancifully frames an amazing vintage sound in a modern setting with hitherto unavailable possibilities, but better than its predecessors’ already amazing features. Fire it up in a DAW host running on the latest MacOS or Windows (7, 8, 10) to add some seriously creative firepower to modern-day music creations! Syn’X v2.5 is available to purchase as a USB eLicenser or iLok (1 and 2 dongle hardware or software) protected plug-in priced at €169.00 EUR from XILS-lab here: https://www.xils-lab.com/products/syn-x-p-134.html (Note that the Syn’X v2.5 upgrade is free for owners of Syn’X 2.) Syn’X v2.5 can be directly downloaded as a multi-format (AAX, AU, VST) 64-bit virtual instrument plug-in for Mac (OS X 10.7 and later) and Windows (7, 8, 10) from here: https://www.xils-lab.com/products/syn-x-p-134/download.html About XILS-lab (www.xils-lab.com) Based in Grenoble, France, XILS-lab is an audio software company, created and managed by Xavier Oudin. Having created some of the best known virtual instruments and effects plug-ins on the market for various companies over the last 20 years, today he focuses on bringing his passion for audio, instruments, and music to bear on his own company.Working with highly-skilled professional musicians and sound designers, the company collectively believes that a virtual instrument or effect is not simply a series of mind-boggling mathematical algorithms designed and scrutinised over by bookish PhD engineers but rather a useful and useable musical tool made for musicians. Moreover, XILS-lab loves to create virtual instruments and effects that inspire its users to create more imaginative music than they ever dreamed possible! © 2020 XILS Audio sarl

NAMM SHOW Booth No. E2000 16-19 Jan.2020. LOGJAM MUSIC introduces the Chameleon percussion stomper, a combined 3 channel mixer with digital electronics. Since the creation of the original MK I Logjam Logarhythm in 2008, Logjam Music has continued to successfully augment the sound of countless acoustic guitarists, solo artists and bands, with their innovative and percussive ‘acoustic’ foot operated stompers. The multi-functional Chameleon is a new direction for Logjam, incorporating high quality digital presets. These include authentic hi-hat, snare and bass drum sounds with an enormous dynamic spectrum, triggered by striking the surface of the hand-crafted sapele unit. Additional sounds or backing tracks can also be uploaded to the micro SD card. The 3 channel Chameleon can be used as a stand-alone unit and/or triggered from an external stomper (such as a Logjam Microlog) using the “AUX” socket. It also features the ability to simultaneously send a straight-through instrument input onward to amplifiers or PA systems via the “Log In” socket. All three channels access the same balanced Neutrik combo “Log Out” socket for both XLR and standard ¼in (6.5mm) jack. Like all models in the Logjam range, the Chameleon is compact, hi-quality, lightweight, tactile and features a non-slip rubber base. With a full charge via the USB sockets or android phone charger, the internal Li-ion battery will deliver up to an impressive 24 hours playing time, ideal for buskers or beach parties. Whilst musicians love products within the innovative Logjam product line (including the Rattlebox and Prolog) they are also popular with drummers as a quick “go-to” kick drum accessory/replacement for rehearsal, live or studio work. Now with the Chameleon featuring digital drum kit technology, musicians are actually in manual command of their pre-set percussion accompaniment, in real time. Logjam Music. Chameleon Digital Stomper, 3/channel mixer. RRP: £299.95 Includes Logjam Gig bag and 3 year guarantee. Follow this link to view the product page: https://www.logjam.net/product/chameleon/

A great deal of time and energy went into designing this wireless system, which is smaller than anything else of its kind. It comes complete in a hard-shell case, small enough to throw in a gig bag or guitar case. With high-quality audio and a compact design, ProCo’s W.I.E.M.S. allows users to put their mix into their own hands.” Additionally, with a simple XLR cable, the transmitter works through any Dante-enabled wall-plate or drop-snake, such as ProCo’s latest AoD solutions. Combined with the compact and lightweight (less than 3oz.) aluminum belt-pack receiver, W.I.E.M.S. provides crystal clear 24-bit/48KHz digital transmission with a latency of less than 5.6ms.

INTRODUCING THE DIRECT BOX ACTIVE & DIRECT BOX PASSIVE Shipping - January 15, 2020 DIRECT BOX ACTIVE MAP = $199 USD | 219 € INC VAT DIRECT BOX PASSIVE MAP = $149 USD | 179 € INC VAT Whether you play guitar, bass, keyboards or another stringed instrument, you'll need a direct box that won't diminish your instrument's tone, like the Direct Box Active and Direct Box Passive from Warm Audio. Every aspect of our direct boxes are designed for maximum sonic integrity, from the custom-wound CineMag USA transformer to the rugged metal knob and switches. You can expect warm, rich tone even after long cable runs, and the extruded aluminum enclosure ensures a long life span. When you need to convert an instrument-level signal to mic-level, with sonic quality as your top priority, you'll be well-served with the Direct Box Active and Direct Box Passive from Warm Audio. Built around world-famous CineMag USA Transformer topology and engineering, like no other DI Boxes in the world. Constructed with top-tier discrete components housed in rugged aluminum chassis' that include switches, knobs and connectors that are all designed to withstand heavy abuse on the road or in the studio. LIKE NO OTHER DI BOXES The Direct Box Active & Passive by Warm Audio are stunningly transparent. It will not diminish your instrument's original sound or tone in any way...other than making it sound better. NEW DI BOX EXPERIENCE Rare versatility of having an onboard variable pad which attenuates your input signal anywhere from -3dB to -30dB. This allows you to easily tame any instrument's input source. TYPICAL APPLICATIONS FOR A DI BOX Connecting electronic instruments such as guitar, bass, keyboard, or drum machines directly to a PA or recording system. Simply put, a DI box converts the high impedance, unbalanced output signals to low impedance, balanced output signals. By doing so, the instrument signals are now converted to the proper voltage level for the PA or recording system - which greatly reduces and/or eliminates connections which could cause tonal shifts and distortion. DIRECT BOX ACTIVE vs. DIRECT BOX PASSIVE Direct Box Active is best for instruments with passive pickups, especially acoustic instruments. The Direct Box Active can also operate in "passive" mode. Direct Box Passive is best for balancing the signal of instruments with active electronics, but still performs extremely well on passive pickups by producing a frequency range that exceeds the bandwidth of most passive DI boxes on the market. DIRECT BOX ACTIVE - CONVENIENCE JACK Both of our Direct Boxes offer a Thru-put jack that is jumpered to the input jack. It is a convenience jack allowing you to send your instrument's signal to a second place in addition to the live mixer or recording device. Our Direct Boxes can also take a recorded signal at line level and send it to another line input while simultaneously sending signal out of the XLR mic level output of the Direct Box. INTERIOR VIEW A LOOK INSIDE Every aspect of our Direct Boxes are designed for maximum sonic integrity, from custom-wound CineMag USA transformers, to their metal switches and connectors, to their gold-plated circuit traces.

Antelope Audio announces six Synergy Core effects for its critically-acclaimed audio interface namesakes SANTA MONICA, CA, USA: trailblazing pro audio manufacturer Antelope Audio is proud to announce availability of COMP-4K-STRIP, COMP-4K-BUS, Marble White AutoWah, MES-432C, MG4, and Adaptive Vibrato — six new Synergy Core effects for use with its Discrete 4 Synergy Core, Discrete 8 Synergy Core, and Orion Studio Synergy Core, cutting-edge audio interfaces that work with Synergy Core effects (using ARM-based DSP to free up any DAW-hosting computer’s CPU to improve system stability and reduce buffer size to record and monitor with sub-millisecond latency by bringing a wider range of creative effects to an efficient, low-latency proprietary platform while FPGA chips handle all audio mixing, dynamics processing, equalisation, and reverbs, with effects modelled from legendary studio gear) — as of December 23... Although it almost goes without saying that musical tastes vary considerably, chances are that a so-called ‘4K’ series large-format mixing console left its musical mark on almost anyone’s favourite records. Indeed, it is still in use in many major studios to this day, despite being superseded by more modern technology — albeit, arguably, never bettered. But the ‘4K’ was certainly the console of choice for Eighties rock and synth-pop alike, and remains revered as one of the best-loved large-format mixing consoles ever made. Fast-forward to today, then, and bringing COMP-4K-STRIP to its Synergy Core cutting-edge effects platform really ranks as one of the proudest moments in Antelope Audio’s high-standing history — enthusiastic as it has always been about great analogue sound. And rightly so since, in this case, an actual channel strip was carefully removed from a well-preserved ‘4K’ series large-format mixing console before being painstakingly analysed and its digital recreation rigorously tested to take pole position amongst the most faithful ‘4K’ reproductions out there. Today, users of Antelope Audio’s acclaimed Discrete 4 Synergy Core, Discrete 8 Synergy Core, and Orion Studio Synergy Core audio interfaces are able to enjoy the classic punch, glue, drive, and saturation of that iconic large-format mixing console with next-to-no latency and zero CPU load, thanks to the DSP+FPGA Synergy Core processing platform built into their audio interface. Initiate instances of COMP-4K-STRIP all across a session to record, monitor, mix, and master through the sought-after sound of that time-tested circuitry. COMP-4K-STRIP looks as great as it sounds, and is easy to use, courtesy of the following features and self-explanatory controls: ON/StandBy; COMPRESSOR (THRESHOLD, RATIO, RELEASE, and FAST ATK); EXPANDER (THRESHOLD, RANGE, RELEASE, EXP/GATE, and FAST ATK); FILTERS (Low-pass Hz, Hi-pass kHz, routable pre- and post-dynamics processing with switches); and GAIN (for final volume adjustment). Arriving through the same family background, COMP-4K-BUS realistically recreates the famous ‘mix glue’ bus compressor that rose to prominence in the Eighties, residing on the master bus of a fondly-remembered series of vintage British consoles. Creatively, it was designed to bring together instruments and performances from multiple channels into a larger-than-life cohesive whole, while decades later nothing sounds quite like it — until Antelope Audio’s COMP-4K-BUS, that is! It is the gold standard of mix bus compressors, brought back to life on the Synergy Core platform. Put COMP-4K-BUS on any DAW’s master fader to start mixing right into it, or apply after everything else when the mix is ‘said and done’ to transform it into a balanced, homogenous production with no need to worry about latency or CPU load, thanks to the beautiful combination of DSP+FPGA forming the Synergy Core processing platform! Onscreen features include a vintage-style VU meter alongside THRESHOLD; ATTACK mS (milliseconds); RATIO; MAKE UP; RELEASE S (seconds); SC FILTER Hz (Hi-pass sidechain filter); wet/dry MIX (for parallel compression); and RATE S (seconds) controls, plus an AUTO FADE mode. Marble White AutoWah realistically replicates a boutique auto-wah pedal from Finland whose circuit is originally based on a rack-mount wah, and refined further to sound like a real wah pedal. Put it this way: musically, Marble White AutoWah is in a league of its own, with fast tracking, amazing accuracy, and responsive controls, which works equally well on guitar and bass. Better still, its bespoke DECAY control allows adjustment of the filter frequency fall speed, so Marble White AutoWah can drench every note in wah or be better behaved, so-to-speak — as expected from a more traditional autowah pedal. Powered by Antelope Audio’s acclaimed Synergy Core platform, Marble White AutoWah works in real time with no perceivable latency. Feel free to calibrate it with Shred Guitar Amps & Cabs to obtain a formidable guitar and effects rig inside the Discrete 4 Synergy Core, Discrete 8 Synergy Core, or Orion Studio Synergy Core audio interface that works without any associated CPU load. Little in the way of controls — SENSITIVITY, BIAS, RESONANCE, and DECAY — can deliver a lot of variation in the resultant auto-wah effect. Effectively recreating Sontec’s mastering equaliser, MES-432C reclothes an absolute standard. Since its introduction in the late-Sixties, subsequently refined in the early- Seventies, it has remained the go-to mastering equaliser for fortunate old-school pros. Put it this way: with the inventor of parametric equalisation itself serving as its co- creator, the resultant design is, in all likelihood, destined — in its many reincarnations — to last forever. First listening can be deceptive, due to the EQ’s subtle-sounding nature lacking in any obvious mojo, maybe, but dig deeper into its controls and any audio benefits from particular and pleasant character enhancement. Everything seemingly sounds better — even poorly-executed equalisation choices! Antelope Audio’s MES-432C emulates exactly what that top-end mastering EQ does best, by squeezing extra drops of sweetness out of an already excellent-sounding mix that needs little in the way of additional polish. Indeed, it will serve just as well when put to work on a mix bus or onto individual tracks in need of frequency boosts or cuts here and there. Apply as many instances as needed without worrying about latency and CPU load. Let Antelope Audio’s Synergy Core audio interfaces handle it all, leaving more computer power for favourite instruments and effects. MES-432C likewise looks as great as it sounds, and is easy to use, including the following features: SHELVING EQ (LO/HI); LO, MID, and HI SHAPE dB/Oct (Q) controls; LO, MID, and HI FREQ (frequency) controls totalling 72 bands; LO, MID, and HI LEVEL dB (boost/cut) controls; and final volume adjustment. Meanwhile, MG4 faithfully recreates the superlative sound of a legendary 500 Series EQ module from a highly-regarded Swedish brand that has made its presence felt sonically on hundreds of top charting records from the likes of Madonna, Snoop Dogg, and many more well-known faces of popular music. MG4 also features its innovative SKY BAND, able to add the kind of expensive-sounding gloss and sheen typically heard on singles benefitting from high-flying production teams and expensive equipment. This six-band EQ is also notable for its highly-linear phase operation — far from easily achievable in the analogue domain, duly endowing MG4 with an ability to preserve any audio being fed through it without suffering from any phase-shifting artefacts. As such, purity and clarity combine to be the name of the game when it comes to this EQ — perfectly powered by Antelope Audio’s latency- and CPU-free Synergy Core effects processing. The following features mirror those developed by that highly-regarded Swedish brand: IN/OUT (bypass button); SUB frequency (boost/cut control); 40 Hz (boost/cut control); 160 Hz (boost/cut control); 650 Hz (boost/cut control); 2.5 kHz (boost/cut control); SKY GAIN (control); and SKY BAND frequency (select control). Closing out Antelope Audio’s additional six Synergy Core effects for its critically-acclaimed audio interface namesakes is its take on what a great vibrato should sound and look like — Adaptive Vibrato. Indeed, its development derived from closely examining some tried-and-tested circuits before incorporating those impressions into a virtual unit delivering a veritable vibrato toy box — complete with LATCH and TRIGGER MODE; RATE and DEPTH controls; five-way WAVE modulation; DELAY and RISE controls; THRESHOLD and ENDFREQ controls; plus control over the DRY/WET MIX. Antelope Audio’s appropriately-named Adaptive Vibrato is a notable new Synergy Core effect to be reckoned with!

TA Programming announces availability of Studio MIDI And CV Interface full synthesizer control system debut LONDON, UK: following a successful showcase in October at Sheffield’s Synthfest UK 2019, billed as being the UK’s biggest synthesizer event, advanced creative technology designer TA Programming is proud to announce availability of its inaugural Studio MIDI And CV Interface full synthesizer control system — capable of controlling multiple synthesizers simultaneously via voltage control outputs and MIDI/USB with extra-low latency while keeping analogue instruments, vintage or otherwise, perfectly in tune with each other — as of December 20… According to TA Programming CEO/CTO Tim Aviss, “We designed this interface to be not just a solution to problems that we’d encountered when controlling synthesizers in the past, but to unlock a whole new world of creativity with synthesizers from one interface.” Indeed, TA Programming’s debut design does just that, thanks to its innovative implementation of complimentary connections, comprising MIDI In and MIDI Out alongside USB I/O for MIDI and serial bus connectivity, together with four universal CV CONTROL outputs. On the face of it, then, the Studio MIDI And CV Interface full synthesizer control system is creatively kitted out to target the hotly-contested competition out there already. After all, those four universal CV CONTROL outputs can perform any function regardless of whether it is for producing Pitch, Gate, or Aux signals. Saying that, an unlimited number of universal CV CONTROL outputs can quickly be created by daisy-chaining multiple interfaces via the MIDI ports. Also, any source — such as Pitch, Note On/Off, Velocity, Aftertouch, any MIDI CC number, signals from a DAW, and more besides — can be selected via USB or MIDI. Fortunately for anyone putting the Studio MIDI And CV Interface to the test, the voltage of the configured output is completely user definable between -9V and +10V, providing plenty of range to satisfy the requirements of almost all synthesizers, past and present. Put it this way: with this level of versatility, the Studio MIDI And CV Interface provides its users with complete control over note range scale — from microtonality all the way through to the limits of the connected synthesizer. Thankfully, TA Programming’s proprietary tuning technology is capable of handling even the most stubborn scaling issues, effectively eliminating scaling and tuning issues on any analogue synthesizer, including non-linearities. This technology is built upon a six-point multi-mapping system that uses advanced interpolation and modelling algorithms all within a floating-point mathematical model before conversion to control voltages are applied in real time. In other words, once a tuning profile has been configured for the synthesizer concerned, TA Programming’s proprietary tuning technology works out the control voltages said synthesizer needs, regardless of tempco (temperature compensating) resistor variation, in order to produce pitch-perfect notes in real time — a must-have for owners of vintage or more modern analogue synthesizers alike! Additionally, the Studio MIDI And CV Interface is MPE (MIDI Polyphonic Expression) compatible, capable of sending out full MPE via MIDI DIN or mapping single channel/polyphonic MPE out of the universal CV CONTROL outputs. As all five control dimensions are natively supported, users can be sure that their synthesizers will be as musically expressive as allowed by the MPE method. Meanwhile, the interface itself has internal circuitry powered by USB. Ultimately, however, TA Programming pushed itself hard to ensure that the power supply can tolerate variances in input voltage so that the resulting supply is always as clean as possible, providing the highest control voltage accuracy, as well as preserving tuning and configuration regardless of the USB host. Having said all that, TA Programming’s powerful control software allows anyone to completely configure their Studio MIDI And CV Interface. In addition to this, they can host USB MIDI controllers in the software itself, thereby bypassing their DAW, if desired. Said software also provides plentiful MIDI processing features — from LFOs to BPM-locked arpeggiators, keyboard splitting over MIDI, and much more. TA Programming plans to regularly update the interface’s firmware and control software so that its users can always access the latest features following their initial purchase. Last, but by no means least, the Studio MIDI And CV Interface always automatically stores its user’s current configuration with no need to click save. So feel free to travel between recording studio and performance venue safe in the knowledge that their current configuration will automatically load when the interface is powered back up. Upon connection to their computer, the control software will automatically pull the current configuration from the interface itself to allow for easy editing. And as if this was not exciting enough, an unlimited number of presets and profiles for all the synthesizers in anyone’s setup can be saved to the computer and reloaded into the interface at any time. TA Programming looks all set to play to win with its inaugural Studio MIDI And CV Interface. Owners of vintage and more modern synthesizers simply owe it to themselves and their treasured instruments to test TA Programming’s debut design. It is no ordinary MIDI-to-CV convertor, clearly! The Studio MIDI And CV Interface is initially available for purchase — priced at £249.00 GBP — directly through TA Programming here: https://taprogramming.com/product/midi-cv-interface/ For more in-depth information, please visit the dedicated Studio MIDI And CV Interface webpage here: https://taprogramming.com/product/midi-cv-interface/ Watch TA Programming’s Studio MIDI And CV Interface introductory video here: https://youtu.be/X0Vrqw3NESE Watch musician and producer Lawrence Hart putting the Studio MIDI And CV Interface through its MPE-compatible musical paces here: https://youtu.be/fYqsuc-2iS0 About TA Programming (www.taprogramming.com) Musicians first and foremost, TA Programming was founded in London, UK with a passion for synthesizers and studio hardware and a desire to design advanced creative technology to fill voids in their respective musical spaces, while also allowing for more expressive music making and performance. Following in the footsteps of its inaugural Studio MIDI And CV Interface full synthesizer control system, some notable new products are all set for release in early 2020! © 2019 TA Programming

Steinberg introduces a brand-new Cubasis, redeveloped from the ground up and adding iPhone compatibility plus more than 20 user-requested features. HAMBURG, Germany — Steinberg today announced the immediate availability of Cubasis 3, the award-winning music production app that lets musicians and producers create music anywhere they go. Gravitating toward its desktop equivalent, Cubasis provides the same look and feel as Steinberg’s Cubase music software, and sports similar tools to perform, mix and share music productions, including many effects, hundreds of instrument sounds and third-party plug-in compatibility with Audio Unit, Inter-App Audio and Audiobus 3. The all-new Cubasis Previous versions of Cubasis only ran on the iPad, but with its third version, Cubasis has evolved into a full-fledged DAW now offering universal app support for both iPad and iPhone. This means that the app’s extensive feature set can now be used on a smaller screen without restricting usability. Cubasis 3 is more performant than ever before, offering great new features and enhancements that let users get results quickly and easily. Group Tracks is one of many highlights that Cubasis has to offer. It combines multiple tracks so that they can be processed and mixed as though they were a single track — a special capability that is extremely useful when using the app on the limited real estate of an iPhone’s screen. The mixer in Cubasis 3 has been revamped, now taking advantage of the entire display. It includes useful zoom modes and an eminently accurate level metering for as many tracks as are needed. Also new in Cubasis 3 are the eight rearrangeable insert and send effects. Users can add up to eight insert and eight send effects from the many already included in Cubasis or can choose to use third-party effects via Audio Unit, Inter-App Audio and Audiobus 3. The insert effects can now be placed before or after the fader. Other feature highlights Many other feature additions and capabilities in Cubasis 3 include: Free Cubasis 2 in-app purchase transfer to Cubasis 3. MIDI resolution dramatically improved with 960 pulses per quarter note. 75 new effects presets. Undo reinvented with History List. Redesigned instruments and effects. Updated audio, MIDI and automation editors. Improved MediaBay: Creating folders, moving files and sharing music has never been easier in Cubasis. Presets for user interface scalability let Cubasis fit perfectly on either the iPhone or iPad. Overdub and looper recording modes. MicroSonic now includes even more instruments. Easily keep visual track with vertical event coloring. AU MIDI effects automation. Micrologue ARP (IAP) automation. Continuing playback while performing undo, redo and more. Marketing Manager Lars Slowak commented: “After more than 30 free Cubasis updates for the previous two versions, it’s time to reveal what the team has been working on for quite some time now — Cubasis 3, a completely new app. “Not only did we rewrite Cubasis 3 from scratch, we also had to rethink the app itself so that it looks and performs perfectly on the iPhone.

Audified readily rounds out one-shot channel processing plug-in series with self-explanatory ToneSpot Voice Pro BRNO, CZECH REPUBLIC: having been busy throughout the year applying its innovative ToneSpot one-shot channel processing plug-in concept to quickly creating the perfect bass guitar tone (with the January 2019 release of ToneSpot Bass Pro), perfect-sounding stringed acoustic instruments (with the April 2019 release of ToneSpot Acoustic Pro), perfect-sounding percussion (with the June 2019 release of ToneSpot Drum Pro), and achieving amazing-sounding electric guitar tones (with the September 2019 release of ToneSpot Electric Pro), software applications, software effects, and hardware processors developer Audified is proud to readily round out the ToneSpot series with the self-explanatory ToneSpot Voice Pro — providing all the tools to mix any kind of vocal track to sit in the mix wonderfully with only one plug-in — as of December 2... Achieving an amazing-sounding vocal is crucial to today’s anticipated and accepted music production standards — so much so, in fact, that it is arguably the production pivot on which the balance of any successful song surely rests. Indeed, it is often the key to success in almost every style of music. After all, the lead vocal track is usually the main guide for the listener throughout the song. Though there are many different approaches and aesthetics of vocal production from which to choose, they share some similarities. Musically, many steps of getting the right vocal mix are based on the same acoustic principles. Put it this way: whether mixing old school swing or the latest pop sensation, some equalisation and compression, plus some kind of ambiance, are likely to be the order of the day. Depending on the genre, this could conceivably range from a subtle touch through to heavy-duty sound processing. An applicable approach might well be carefully chosen, yet achieving a desired result is not necessarily a straightforward or speedy process. Professional mix engineers can spend years honing their creative craft. Which is perhaps the way it should be. But there is another way. Which is exactly where Audified’s self-explanatory ToneSpot Voice Pro clearly comes into its own. Of course, having already refined its innovative ToneSpot one-shot channel processing plug-in concept to suit specific instrument tracks with several product releases that have been well received throughout the year, it should come as little surprise to learn that ToneSpot Voice Pro is suited to mixing any kind of vocal track — from fanciful-sounding singing through to throaty screaming, and anything in between! Backing vocals, vocal layers, and harmonies will blend with the greatest of ease. Equally at home when being used to mix the spoken word, ToneSpot Voice Pro puts users in control of achieving an amazing-sounding vocal with minimum fuss. Fortunately for anyone putting it to the test, ToneSpot Voice Pro provides ten powerful ‘modules’ alongside all-important Input and Output sections. Those ten ‘modules’ represent the usual vocal mix workflow with the audio signal being fed through them in series from left to right, as follows: Character (determines the basic flavour of the sound and affects many of the subsequent sections); Distortion (replicates real valve distortion circuitry based on a vintage guitar amp, perfect for executing extreme vocal techniques); Saturation (is an advanced model of a real valve saturation circuit that brings about an agreeable higher harmonics punch); DeEssAir (removes unwanted vocal sibilance while bringing back some ‘air’ at the same time); Shaping (shapes the tone with an eight-band musically-labelled EQ); Punch (is quite a strong compressor with slower attack time and a medium compression ratio); Surgery (is an extreme surgical peak EQ with two identical filters and up to -50 dB attenuation); Smash (is a peak-eating levelling compressor with faster attack time and a gentle compression ratio); Effects (comprises Delay and Reverb, the two most important time-based effects for handling any vocal processing task); and Finalizer (is the mastering section of the ToneSpot Voice Pro processing chain; sometimes a voice just needs that final touch — some sweetness or fatness, for example). Each can be separately switched on or off, as needed, and an AGC (Automatic Gain Control) is included in both the Input and Output sections, setting the plug-in’s signal level to 0 dBVU. Ultimately, then, ToneSpot Voice Pro rounds out Audified’s acclaimed ToneSpot series, following in the footsteps of several specific plug-in predecessors to provide the tools to allow anyone to realise their musical ideas. After all, great musical ideas need great sound in this day and age, where the quality of sound and sound aesthetics can often determine the success of the music. A great mix can help a great song to become better — better able to compete in today’s radically changing music industry, in other words. With Audified’s ToneSpot Voice Pro-augmented ToneSpot series, anyone can quickly produce well rounded, better-sounding music mixes from now on. On the face of it, spotting the perfect-sounding tone has never been more achievable than today, applying Audified’s innovative ToneSpot one-shot channel processing plug-in concept to bass guitars, stringed acoustic instruments, percussion, electric guitars, and — now — vocals!

In partnership with Hammond USA and Suzuki Music Corp. of Japan, IK's Hammond B-3X is the first real Hammond® organ for iPad complete with Leslie™ speaker December 17, 2019 - IK Multimedia announces the Hammond B-3X tonewheel organ virtual instrument for iPad. This new app maintains all the realism, detail and features found in the Mac/PC version, which was created in close collaboration with Hammond USA and Suzuki Music Corp. of Japan, but now available on an even more portable device, making it ideal for a streamlined live performance or travel recording rig. Hammond B-3X for iPad meticulously recreates the sound, controls and entire effects signal path of the legendary Hammond® B-3. This comprehensive approach offers a level of realism and detail that will satisfy the most discriminating B-3 fans while also offering an affordable introduction to the unique world of tonewheel organs that can be enjoyed by all levels of players. The new app is ideal for performing musicians looking for a simplified stage rig, letting them run Hammond B-3X on an iPad instead of a dedicated laptop, with full compatibility for MIDI controllers and Hammond digital organs. Hammond B-3X for iPad also supports the latest AudioUnits format, allowing it be used as a plug-in in many of today's most popular recording apps, for an ultra-portable travel studio that delivers world-class realism and features. IK's industry-leading modeling techniques were employed to deliver fine details and nuances approved by the discerning ears of the Hammond Organ Company in Chicago. In addition to its authentic organ sound, this new instrument offers a full-rig chain including stomp effects, an extended version of IK's Leslie® Collection with a rotary cabinet with mix-and-match amp and cabinet models plus four microphones, a parallel guitar amp with 4x12 cabinet, a mixer and three studio post effects. It's all in the details True to the hardware original, Hammond B-3X for iPad begins with 91 tonewheels, which are based on well-maintained Hammond organs that IK studied in locations around the world. These free-running tonewheels are mixed in real-time based on the notes played and drawbar levels, for authentic realism. Hammond B-3X for iPad can be fine-tuned using IK's detailed models of the original settings, controls and circuits, which were all approved by the Hammond Organ Company. Users can employ tonal filtering, select the independent key click, and engage the iconic Hammond percussion and chorus-vibrato circuits with advanced controls. For deeper exploration and realistic touches, Hammond fans will appreciate a familiar simulation of the effects of "aging" components to control tonal balance, generator leakage and crosstalk, and the chorus circuit's presence boost. True tone, real experience All the controls are designed to recreate the exact experience of playing a classic, hardware B-3 organ - from the order of the chorus/vibrato settings to the placement of the percussion switches. Some additional features have been included as well, for modern convenience. The drawbars update in real-time when the inverted drawbar settings keys are selected, allowing users to save 24 custom drawbar settings per preset. For live use, a "Controls" view hides the keyboard and enlarges the drawbars and switches for less distraction while playing. MIDI assignments for modern Hammond digital organs are also included, making it plug-and-play easy to perform with everything at arm's reach. Extended stomp box effects The organ feeds a 5-unit pedalboard in the STOMPS section that features overdrive, graphic EQ, stomp box-style chorus-vibrato, wah wah and spring reverb. Derived from IK's award-winning AmpliTube® and T-RackS® software, these effects were carefully chosen and arranged for easy recreation of the widest range of iconic tonewheel organ sounds. They can also be assigned to MIDI control for on-stage use. Real Leslie® sound The signal is then sent to a CABS section that includes a choice of real Leslie amps and speakers that can be mixed and matched, along with a parallel guitar amp and 4x12 cabinet. Using technology derived from IK's award-winning AmpliTube 4 amplifier modeling, combined with an extended version of IK's Leslie® Collection, Hammond B-3X for iPad's cabinet section offers a massive range of sound-shaping option tabs. They include: Setup - lets users fine tune the Leslie's slow and fast speed settings - including acceleration and deceleration - and adjust the mic distance and configuration Leslie Amp - offers a selection of five Leslie power amps (or a power amp modeling off switch) and two guitar power amps to use in any of five Leslie cabinets, with full control over gain, EQ and volume Leslie EQ - enables the rotary speaker to be shaped with high-pass, low-pass and parametric mid EQ Guitar Amp - adds a parallel guitar amp derived from AmpliTube into the mix for use with popular rock tones used by top rock and blues players; offers full tone-shaping controls and spring reverb Mixer - blends the sound of the Leslie, with independent volume and panning of both the horn and drum mics, the parallel guitar amp, and the DI organ sound for unprecedented tonal flexibility Add professional polish Finally, Hammond B-3X for iPad offers three rackmount studio effects derived from IK's T-RackS Mixing and Mastering Workstation to add a final, professional touch. IK's Limiter 76 FET-based compressor offers an iconic, timeless sound; the EQ-81 adds classic console tone-shaping and warmth; and a digital reverb adds a pristine sense of space. Pricing and availability Hammond B-3X for iPad is available from the Apple App Store® with a special introductory price of $99.99 through March 2020. *Local pricing is determined by Apple, based on exchange rates.
