Plug-ins : Tube Saturator - Wave Arts enters the Warmth War ! - macmusicWave Arts announces the release of Tube Saturator, their first step into the world of accurate real-time analog modeling.

Unlike other tube simulators, which use radically simplified models, Tube Saturator uses state of the art circuit simulation technology to capture every nuance of an analog circuit. With circuit simulation, the analog schematic completely defines the signal processing. The schematic is converted into a system of non-linear differential equations which is solved at each sampling period, in realtime. That's mathematical talk for "it sounds exactly like the analog circuit".

The circuit simulation technology is extremely CPU intensive, and hence we are only able to simulate very simple circuits. Tube Saturator is in fact a basic circuit consisting of a Baxandall type ...

Nov 2 - 12:11 PM, by Nantho Plug-ins > Roger Linn Design
Plug-ins : Roger Linn unveils AdrenaLinn Sync Plug-In - macmusicAdrenaLinn Sync is a new software plug-in from Roger Linn Design that provides the same unique beat-synced filter modulation and sequencing effects of their AdrenaLinn III guitar pedal.

However, it goes even further, adding:

• More Control -- More parameters to fine-tune your filter modulation and filter sequencing effects.
• More Randomness -- Random sequence generation, random LFO amplitude, plus variable probability of randomly-generated notes or envelope firing.
• More Swing -- In additional to half or full swing timing for sequenced notes, you also get on randomly-generated notes.
• Noise source for Self-Generated Noise Beats -- Use noise with the sequencer to create synthesized drumbeats, or to excite resonant filters into self-oscillation.
• 2 Simu ...
