This third installment of Puremagnetik's Microtron series brings three classic sounds from original Mellotron tapes direct to your DAW. It contains expertly recorded Clarinet, French Horn, and Glenn Miller sounds. All of the original imperfections, vintage analog quality, and performance nuances of the Mellotron M400 were captured through a Neumann U47 Microphone and a Reeves Custom 50 Amplifier.

The Ableton Live 8 version of Microtron Tape 3 builds upon Live's rack features to create the blending effects between tape sounds as can be achieved with a physical Mellotron. Native Live effects are completely integrated with multisample mode racks so that any Live 8 user can instantly load these sounds.

In addition, Microtron Tape 3 includes over 60 Live Clips performed by professional st ...

Full Metal Racket R by 9 Soundware is a set of patches for the NN-XT sampler within Propellerhead Reason. The theme of the sound set is distortions. Its origins are in five previously released 9 Soundware titles. The instruments are based on select samples from the Thrash, 666, Discord, and Error EXS24 sound sets, and the Mixer Feedback WAV collection.

The source sounds for the samples include performed noise, synthesis, mixer feedback, screaming, and a drum machine.

FXpansion is proud to present Himalaya: Antiquity, a DCAM: Synth Squad Preset Pack produced by Electric Himalaya. The scope of Antiquity's chunky, vintage sounds is breathtaking, and its musical character will keep you playing for hours.

Highlights include fat, lush OB-style brass sounds and classic analogue leads and basses of all kinds, full of weight, vibe and inspiration. Deep, evolving pads, shimmering bells, funky arps, powerful keyboard and polysynth sounds and too much more to list. As well as evoking the heavy physics and playability of old-school analogue subtractive and FM sounds, Antiquity brings new dimensions to these classic tones with Synth Squad's modern luxuries like precise tuning, tempo-synced LFOs and envelopes, and advanced mod ...

Elysia has announced the release of niveau filter, a new plug-in that provides the niveau filter section from elysia's mpressor plug-in as a separate, free, plug-in.

Add punch to muffled snares, reduce the harshness from active pickups, create some wonderful Dub and LoFi sounds... there are so many ways to benefit from this little tool.

This filter is a specialist in changing the overall sonic character of a signal with ease. It features two comprehensive controllers and is capable of producing convincing results in no time at all.

Its main function is to change the proportions between high and low frequencies. The principle is quite simil ...
