EyoControl 1.2 for iPad is out and includes a new MIDI controller, Transport, result of a collaboration between Eyosido Software and audio software professional developer Vincent Burel (vb-audio).
New in eyoControl 1.2:
- Transport, new controller: transport bar with big scrub wheel and large timecode display, to remotely control basic playing/recording abilities of your DAW/recording software.
- Surface 1.2:
- improved timecode display (all digits, better accuracy).
- better scrub wheel behavior (similar to Transport).
- slight graphic update, few items moved around.
- iPad does not go idle anymore while controllers are running.
- Controller's orientation can be locked in any orientation mode from Preferences.
- eyoControl Server mode: the default eyoControl instance name is no more a random name but the iPad's name.
- smaller controller icons on the Library page.
- help button on top of the Library page.
- fixes for app staying long periods in background.

Dubstep has had an undeniably huge influence on the music scene, both mainstream and underground. Producers the world over are craving the sounds of disturbed wobble bass, atmospheric pads and sparse, yet expertly constructed drum beats. Now with 'Dubstep Constructions Vol 3' you can have all of this and more, with this amazing set of truly dark and destructive loops.
All of the included content was recorded at a tempo of 140BPM meaning you can easily mix and match elements from any of the 10 Construction Kits to create new mixes. Fully ACIDized WAV and Apple Loops will allow you to drop them directly into your project and have them sync up perfectly to existing material. A Reason Refill is also available for purchase, which includes both the ACIDized WAV and Rex Loops.

VTAPE is a set of three plugins based on a thorough simulation of the famous sound of analog tape machines.
VTAPE Saturator simulates the recording and playback on an analog tape mastering machine.
VTAPE Delay combines this sound with a modern, step sequencer-like tapped delay engine which leads the tradition of the tape echo machines into the 21st century.
VTAPE Flanger simulates the legendary "Tape flanging" effect which can be achieved through the playback of two tape machines running at slightly different speed.

The Pearl Syncussion SY-1 is an extremely rare analogue drum synthesizer originally manufactured in 1979 by Pearl Musical Instruments.
This freaky little box is capable of producing a huge palette of percussive sounds, powerful kicks and experimental sound effects which carry a vintage sound inherent to its unique drum synthesis methods and extremely raw sounding oscillators!
After finally getting our hands on one of these rare instruments we just knew we had to sample it!
Syncussion Drums by Wave Alchemy captures the Pearl Syncussion's unique sonic character by offering no less than 1885 carefully recorded 24-bit drum samples. Additionally, a number of sounds were re-sampled through our EMU SP-12 Turbo to obtain a more lo-fi and gritty sound.
