Voxengo releases HarmoniEQ VST
HarmoniEQ is a digital equalizer in PC VST format specifically designed to bring excellent and unconventional equalizing performance requiring little to none effort from the user. We have called HarmoniEQ a harmonically-enhanced equalizer because harmonical enhancement it applies to the sound is an inherent element of its overall sonic quality. Its special Boost mode coupled with a high-shelving boost produces a really stunning harmonically-rich and shiny sound.
<BR
Since the easiness of tuning was one of our goals HarmoniEQ features a single control surface to control equalizer curve. No knobs to have hassle with! HarmoniEQ’s control surface workflow implements our best findings in the area of “user-equalizer” interaction. This allowed us to offer the user 3 shelving and 4 bell-shaped filters without making HarmoniEQ a hard-to-finetune device. At the same time having 7 equalizer bands in total gives the user a lot of control over spectral details of the program material being processed.

V-Station now for Powercore and Win/Mac update
Powercore users will be excited to learn that the VStation-Powercore is now available for purchase. The classic software synthesizer has been further enhanced to incorporate both extended and brand new features not present on the original.
Amongst the new additions is the revolutionary ‘Randomizer’, a fabulous tool that enables you to create weird and wonderful patches. The feature has two settings, one that defines the amount of the synth to be randomized and the other that determines the strength of the randomization. A simple mouse click is all that’s required after that to produce an unlimited supply of different patches, including some of the most unbelievable sounds you’re likely to hear! One of the expanded areas is the filter section, which now has a variety of different modes available. The filter can be set to Low- ,Mid- or High-pass at 12 or 24dB per octave, as required.
