Five12 Inc. today announces the release of Numerology 2.1 for Mac OS X. This release features a new Chord Sequencer module, step recording for sequencers, sequencer groove timing controls, and a major update to the ReWire implementation with full support for Audio Unit plugins.

Other new features in Numerology 2.1 include:

- A Transport Loop
- A Keyboard module which emulates a MIDI keyboard. It can be use for triggering sounds, and for monitoring MIDI note streams.
- A new set of I/O modules for additional flexibility in routing MIDI, Audio and CV signals.
- A new 'step-trigger' option for all sequencers to make it easier to emulate the behavior of analog step sequencers.

Numerology 2.1 is currently available for $119.

IAnalyse can synchronize the pages of a score (or PDF images) on an audio or video file. You can draw annotations (graphics, texts or images) on the score, the fade in and fade out of these annotations are also synchronized with the audio file. Moving a cursor on the score to the rhythm of music can be drawn very quickly. The fullscreen and export (images or Quicktime movie) functions allow you to show or distribute your work.

The LE version is free and offers the basis for the annotation scores. The Pro version, at 15€, contains many tools useful for musical analysis.

Intelligent Devices releases Marshall Time Modulator plug-in.

Before there was much "digital" anything, and before records were considered something anachronistic and nostalgia evoking, back when "Dark Side of the Moon" was new and Hip-Hop kind of a distant dream, Stephen St. Croix had an idea: What would happen if you took the the longest analog delay line possible, gave it the greatest signal to noise ratio in a piece of outboard gear, and then made the modulation of it possible over such a wide range that it could effect sound in ways sublime AND outrageous. Something so utilitarian and necessary that it could fit in equally well on Stevie Wonder's "Songs in the Key of Life," or as the means of giving extra gravitas to the sound of a bad acid trip. Stephen called it: The Marshall Time Modulator.

Features :

• Two separate delay lines, in a ratio of 1:2 or 1:4., each with their own volume, phase and pan controls and a joint feedback control.
• Once modulation is added, the ratios between the delay lines don't change, but together the delay lines can be continuously swept over the range from minimum to maximum time over the LFO (Low frequency Oscillator) rate. This is a function of the interaction between the Time Delay, Preset, Time Modulation, LFO Shape and LFO Speed parameters working together.
• From subtle thickening, to reverb loving "spin", to the sound of vinyl left out on the hood of an '84 Camaro in the Black Rock Desert in the last week of August, The Marshall Time Modulator has all the bases covered - and then some.

The Marshall Time Modulator is available now for both Mac OS X and Windows in VST format at a price of $149.
