Jan 16 - 10:35 AM | Plug-ins > Overloud |
Overloud has announced Breverb, a hi-end algorithmic reverberation plug-in that aims to faithfully recreate the sound of revered hardware reverbs while keeping CPU load very low. Breverb's no frills hardware-like user interface gives you immediate control over all of the parameters, allowing you to dynamically map parameters to six assignable controllers and to store, recall and automate presets in any way you want.
Main Features:
* 4 main Algorithms: Hall, Room, Plate and Inverse.
* Modeled after the most sought-after hardware units.
* Each Algorithm is engineered with no compromises in order to achieve maximum quality.
* Full EQ section to tailor Breverb frequency response.
* Extended Nonlinear section to forge reverberation shape.
* "Motion" controls to add liveness and ...

Jan 15 - 11:45 AM | Computer Hardware > RME |
RME/Synthax Audio AG today announced their first recording solutions for the new PCI-Express bus found in current Apple OS and Windows based desktop computers. The HDSPe PCI Card and the HDSPe MADI card are newly engineered PCI-Express versions of their PCI successors. Still based on RME's famous Hammerfall DSP series features and quality the new PCI-Express core ensures full compatibility and maximum performance with the latest high-speed serial bus technology found in all newer motherboards and computers. Furthermore RME's FPGA core ensures full update capability via RME's Secure Flash technology, for further hardware and driver updates. Both cards come with drivers for Windows XP (multi-client operation of MME, GSIF and ASIO 2.0) and brandnew Windows Vista drivers. Apple users are perfe ...

Jan 15 - 11:27 AM | Music Hardware > Moog Music |
Moog Music will showcase the newest addition to the Moogerfooger line of analog effects at NAMM at the end of the week. The MF-107 FreqBox does not actually modify the audio input signal. Inside the FreqBox is a Voltage Controlled Oscillator (VCO) which is modulated by the sound source input—an Audio Modulated VCO! The result is an amazing array of effects that were once only possible with a complex modular synth setup—everything from fuzz-like distortion to what product development engineer Steve Dunnington calls "cataclysmic timbral morphing" ...
Here are some specs:
- Accepts instrument level and line level inputs
- Frequency and waveform controls in the VCO section
- VCO can be frequency modulated by the audio signal
- Envelope follower and mix controls for even greater sonic enhancement
- Housed in the super-durable, classic Moogerfooger enclosure

Jan 15 - 11:06 AM | Audio Hardware > SM Pro Audio |
In addition to the full range of SM Pro Audio products, the Nano Patch passive volume control will be showcased at NAMM 2007. Featuring balanced combo XLR/TRS input jacks and TRS outputs, mute switch, and a good sized rotary volume encoder, the Nano Patch is designed to allow precise level adjustments to analog audio source material. As reducing levels from your software only reduces the audio bit depth, it is much more appropriate to keep your software masters at unity and attenuate the audio to your active monitors with a passive controller like the Nano Patch. This way you can maintain maximum audio resolution and attenuate your monitoring volume with the confidence that the sonic integrity of your audio is not compromised.
