After Phoscyon and Drumazon, d16 group has announced Nepheton which is an emulation of the classic 808 drum machine taking its sound a step further with all the original functions and many additional features.
Features :
- 16 fully synthesized instruments
- perfectly scaled knob ranges
- exhanced control of instruments' sounds
- dynamic signal routing from instruments to outputs
- user defined outputs configuration
- mutes/solos for each instrument (affect triggerring not just the signal)
- fully controllable via MidiCC
- quick midiCC assignation with MidiLearn function
- many ways of controlling the device :
+ external mode (note mode)
+ internal sequencer (pattern mode) with 3 submodes
- external mode :
+ user defined midi map (default set equal to General Midi) ...

Feb 22 - 11:03 AM | Plug-ins |
Daevlmakr Media has released the Daevl.Plugs Audio Transmogrification Suite v1.0.1 for Mac OS X in VST and Audio Units plug-in formats. This suite contains 9 major plug-ins and 9 CPU-light mini-plugs. Many employ random or chaotic processes triggered by peaks in the source material. Each has its own strengths, but every Daevl.Plug will transmogrify anything: voice, bass, guitar, synthesizers, drums, choirs of heavenly angels...
The 9 major plug-ins are :
- daevl.cerberus: three delays in a feedback network with time shifting, distortion via self frequency modulation.
- daevl.cubedriver: a bitcrusher and pitchshifter inside a stereo delay loop. When feedback is engaged on the delay lines, audio is re-pitched and re-crushed on each new trip through the loop. A variable strength enve ...
