Modular Solo ships complete with a ribbon cable ready to fit into any Eurorack (A100) modular system — simply plug one end into the free slot on the Modular Solo itself and the other into the backplane of the modular case to supply the required power (+12V supply 85mA max/-12V supply 3mA).

Control Voltage (CV) and Gate signals can be sent via the ribbon cable to the system bus (selected using jumpers).

At the recent AES Convention in New York City, Avid presented a new plug-in format for Pro Tools 10: AAX (Avid Audio eXtension). One of the most frequently asked questions for third-party plug-in developers during the show was how soon they would be able to support this new format.
TC is proud to announce that its LM6 Radar Loudness Meter, which was also revealed at AES, will in fact support the new AAX format right from the start.

LM6 Radar Loudness Meter will be available in VST, AU, RTAS and AAX Native versions December 2011.

Studio Piper is a software-based bagpipe allowing you to play and record Highland pipes, Uilleann pipes, Border pipes and Scottish Smallpipes through your PC or Mac.

Pipers wishing to play Studio Piper will need an electronic bagpipe with MIDI output (we recommend the Technopipes), a computer to run the software and a MIDI to USB cable to connect the two. Studio Piper can also be controlled by any other MIDI instrument (e.g. keyboard, wind instrument etc) and runs in all VST/AU compatible hosts. Studio Piper comes as both stand alone and plugin for Windows and Mac.
