Korg Germany has announced the new pocketsize Kaoss called the Kaossilator (dynamic phrase synthesizer). It comes packed with 100 sound programs that combine Korg's modelling synthesizer engine with effects from the KAOSS Pad series. Its horizontal axis is assigned to note/pitch, while the vertical axis is assigned to parameters such as: cut-off, feedback, or modulation depth, giving you a wide range of performance possibilities. In addition to classic synthesizer sounds, there are faithfully simulated piano, guitar and trumpet sounds as well as looped and one-shot drum sounds.

The KAOSSILATOR offers you a choice of 31 different scales, including chromatic and diminished, as well as major and minor blues and pentatonic scales – by using the key setting function, you can play them in any ...

Audio Damage has announced the release of Liquid, an analog-style through-zero flanger. Unlike traditional flangers, which are just short delays with a bit of feedback, Liquid models the original flanging method, where two tape machines were used to create artificial double-tracking effects. Perfect for "stereo-izing" monophonic signals like voice and vintage analog synths, Liquid also provides more mind-bending flanging at higher feedback settings.

Features :

- True through-zero flanging.
- Perfect for "stereo-izing" analog synths, electric pianos, and other mono sources.
- Capable of extreme vintage-style flanging effects.
- Full MIDI learn on every parameter for hardware control (VST version only).

Liquid is now available for purchase in the Audio Damage store priced at $29.00 for Mac OS X Audio Units and VST, and Windows VST.
