IVoxel is not only an amazingly sounding vocoder - the unique concept of iVoxel turns this vocoder into a singing machine going far beyond the capabilities of traditional or software vocoders.
iVoxel lets you:
Speak or sing into your head set mic transforming your voice in a wide variety of ways.
Record words, syllables or other sounds into the voxel dictionary for later reuse.
Play different voxels live on the on-screen keyboard with ingenious pitch bending or with an external MIDI Keyboard.
Arrange and play melodies with the built in sequencer and add the lyrics from a user expandable dictionary of voxels.

For musicians & performers, interactive installations, museums, or meta-instruments, Eobody3 USB Sensorbox is a plug&play versatile solution to use new controls, to trigger and modulate sounds and videos, to create new sensor-based instruments with no computer programming background.
The version with a MIDI output enables to control MIDI hardware devices with sensors with no computer. Its internal signal processing has been especially developped for music and video applications. And if you want to go further into the signal processing control, a PC, Mac compatible Eobody3 Editor enables to adjust internal process parameters and shape the outcoming signal waveform (status/analogue zoom/digital zoom & offset/inverse/lag processor/gate/ note on/off/new waveshaper). These settings can be stored in Sensorbox non-volatile memory! It's now possible to store an entire installation or performance setup inside a Sensorbox and save it for a future use. High-speed USB enables to reduce significantly the latency. A 32-bit resolution avoids 'scale effects' and allows a nearly linear conversion curve. Sensorboxes can be plugged directly to the USB in of your computer or thru a USB hub if you want to plug more.
Eobody3 has a more powerful 32-bits IC, which enables more pre-processings and more pre-mappings.

Detunized has reelased DTS024 - Phase Facets, a comprehensive Live Pack featuring the German Hohner HS2/E synthesizer from 1988. The Hohner HS2/E and it's Japanese original, the Casio VZ10m, are the last hardware synths working with „interactive Phase Distortion" synthesis. The iPD was meant as an effort to deliver sounds comparable to those of FM synthesis while its results are easier to predict. IPD is capable of producing wonderful „non-filter" and „non-substractive" tones with sharp attacks and digital precision.
The 650 MB Live Pack „Phase Facets" contains a diversified collection of such iPD sounds that must be categorized far beyond the standard Bass and Lead libraries. With their rich harmonic content and agile brightness the 30 included Live Instruments enrich each Live Library with some 80s retro charme.
Pricing and specifications:
DTS024 – Phase Facets Live Pack (30 instruments / 650 MB / 842 samples) is available as instant download for 6.98 Euro.
Subscribers can purchase DTS024 + DTS023 - Curetronic Modular Vol. 2 for 4.98 Euro only
