KRK Systems announces they are now shipping the R6 passive studio monitor. The R6 incorporates design cues from KRK's Rokit line, including radically radiused edges along the front of the cabinet.

The R6 leverages KRK's research and development into baffle design and fabrication. The curved front baffle was engineered to minimize diffraction of high-frequencies, resulting in a sweet spot that is significantly larger than products with square or lightly rounded baffles. The baffle also houses a molded fro ...

Jul 2 - 12:11 PM | Industry > Zplane.development |
Beginning July 1st 2009 the fully featured vielklang by zplane is now available at a special price of only €199 / $219 (regular price €249 / $299).
vielklang is a plugin instrument for instant audio harmonization, it generates up to four voices from a single-voiced audio input. The progression of each individual voice is controlled by sophisticated harmony progression and voice leading models, resulting in musically meaningful harmonization without any configuration efforts.
With vielklang, you can thus easily generate and prototype natural sounding background vocals and brass sections, modify melodies and single-voice loops in terms of pitch and scale, and experiment with different harmonizations or chords triggered by different MIDI-inputs. It allows you to generate four voices, edit their harmonies and single pitches, and convert the audio to MIDI.
vielklang is available for both Mac OS X and Windows in VST, AU and RTAS formats.
