Musicrow has released Modular Dreams, a collection of 200 high-quality presets for the Arturia Moog Modular V.

Modular Dreams presents modular synthesis at its best, while it makes a full use of all the features that Arturia Moog Modular V has to offer (And it has a lot !). The classic moog tones are there, but you might be surprised by how innovative and up to date "grandpa" moog can sound ;-)


Modular Dreams is now available for EUR29/USD39. Note that a demo bank with 20 free presets is also available for instant download.

AnaMod presents the ATS-1 Analog Tape Simulator, the first product that uses the AnaMod process for modeling complex analog circuitry entirely in the analog domain.

Specially developed analog building blocks are 'coded' to emulate the behavior of a complex analog system. Unlike digital plug-ins or processor-based outboard gear, there is no latency, and no A/D or D/A conversions to compromise the sound. The result is a faithful recreation of the original response, without using the original analog hardware.

All of the important features of a two-track analog tape machine are found in the ATS-1, including speed selection, bias, LF record and HF Repro EQ, and the option of adding tape hiss, if desired. The reference 'record' level, as indicated on the illuminated VU meters, can be adjusted from 0 to +12 dBu in 3 dB increments.

The ATS-1 accurately models the behavior of specific tape machines and tape formulations, and allows the user to select from up to four machine and tape types. Optional machine and tape types are available on easy-to-install SIMM cards. Standard tape formulation cards shipped with the ATS-1 are the GP9 and 456. Standard machine cards are the A800 and M79.

The ATS-1 is available at a suggested price of $2995 / €2750.

Algorithmix has announced two new VST 3 plug-ins - K-Stereo and LP SplitComp.

K-Stereo is based on a patented psychoacoustical process that extracts the ambience inherent in ordinary recordings and is capable of spreading it around the soundstage as well as enlarging its depth and width without adding any artificial reverberation. K-Stereo does not have a sound of its own - it fills in what's been missing. It is also capable to make a natural mono to stereo conversion.

LP SplitComp is a high-resolution linear-phase mastering split compressor featuring parallel mode, linear-phase split filters, adjustable soft knee, intelligent auto-release, and parameterized soft clipper. It is compatible to the newly released VST 3.0 and thus multichannel compliant.

Pricing and release dates are not yet available.
