 Wonder Warp Software has today released version 4 of its chord dictionary and song-sketching tool SimpleChord. The new release contains several long-requested features including MIDI export, looped playback, ChordPro importing, and display of interval information. It also greatly expands the selection of chords users can choose from and sports a redesigned user interface. The addition of Standard MIDI file exporting should come as good news to the many SimpleChord users who use its progressions feature to lay down the chords of a song before fleshing it out in other applications like GarageBand, Logic, Finale, or Sibelius. The company has plans to offer a screencast tutorial on the topic in the next week.
The software costs $12.95, but is available for a full-featured 14-day trial. The upgrade is free for existing registered users.
 The Golden Audio Gate | GAG-1 by Kjaerhus Audio is a versatile gate / expander & ducking plug-in made for such applications as noise-gating, gated reverb, voice-over, de-breathing and many other practical and creative purposes. The side-chain can be fed with either internal or external audio, or controlled by a MIDI key. High-cut and low-cut filters are available in the side chain to narrow the frequency range in which the gate should respond. The envelope is controlled by attack, hold and decay parameters where the hold function has a soft release behavior contributing to the unique character of this gate. Other parameters such as range, ratio and knee are used to control the audio attenuation and help make this gate sound more musical than typical "bi-state" noise gates. Three plug-in variants are available in the package; stereo, stereo with side chain, and mono with side chain. There is no latency, which makes this the ideal tool for real time performance in the studio or on stage. All parameters can be controlled from MIDI controllers.
GAG will ship on August 2nd in VST/Audio Units for $78.
