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.

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.
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.
The Gold Series and accompanying manuals has been updated to version 1.10. Amongst the updates are better fine adjustment of knobs and a fix for the invisibility problem in some hosts.
Wizoo has unveiled the first five Xpansions for Xphraze, as well as the official release of version 1.2. Xphraze now supports AU for Logic 7 users. All Xpansions include Xphraze 1.2 but the new version can also be downloaded at www.wizoosounds.com.

Many Neuron VS users have been asking for MODELmaker, the software that makes it possible to transform own samples into neuronal Models. Since its release in December, users and potential users have complained in different forums that MODELmaker was not included in the Neuron VS package. Many conversations with users also just a few days ago at winter NAMM in Anaheim/California – have finally convinced us to open up this very important and individual part of neuronal synthesis to Neuron VS users as well.
From today, MODELmaker is freely available to all registered Neuron VS users. Just go to www.hartmann-music.com/home/members where you can download MODELmaker for Mac OS 9 / OS X and PC as well as the MODELmaker manual PDF.
Under the same link, there will also be a software update for Neuron VS shortly.
