de la Mancha bassbomb explodes

·0 comments·

bassbomb is a monophonic, bass synthesizer focused on creating a wide range of bass sounds from punchy to chunky via squelchy and fat with a sprinkling of dirt on top. It does everything from dubstep wobble, electro house dirt, funky bounce, breakbeat dirt, hiphop boom, acid squelch and more besides. As well as bass lines it’s also happy banging out kick drums and bass drops, with a pure sine sub osc to really nail that low end.

Music ALIVE 2010 – The Report!

·0 comments·

One year later, same city, different location. Music ALIVE 2010 hosted at the Hilton in Rotterdam by Media Satellite.

The location was very nice and well set up. At the entrance everyone got an Ableton goodie bag, with the obligatory promo pamflets, keychords, other goodies, but also a Dance Tunes voucher to download two tracks for free. Which is always nice of course!

Steinberg: Support for PowerPC Processors Concludes

·0 comments·

Steinberg announces that its support for PowerPC systems is gradually coming to an end. Due to Apple’s decision not to support PowerPC processors in its latest operating system, Snow Leopard, Steinberg has decided to focus exclusively on Intel CPUs in the development and testing processes for its Mac-compatible products.

This means that the current versions of Steinberg products will be the last versions to officially support PowerPC processors. These product versions will support PowerPC processors for the full lifecycle of these versions.

Little Phatty emulator from Xhun Audio

·0 comments·

LittleOne is a faithful emulation of a new classic: the Moog Little Phatty analog synthesizer. To produce the same rich and warm sound of the original hardware, LittleOne emulates every single component of the Little Phatty (oscillators, filter, envelopes, LFO …), preserving the original frequency responses and frequency ranges. The result is an analog-sounding instrument – all in the digital domain. In addition to the Little Phatty synthesizer emulation, LittleOne encloses a full rack with a 16-step MIDI sequencer, a 16-step trancegate effect and two master effects slots.
