Virtual Instrument : Stretch That Note release DruMM Series 3 - macmusicSeries 3 includes 6 new modules with samples being processed with M/S, phase cancellation and some ethnic comb filtering.

The DruMM Layering concept is explored even further with Series 3 offering more manic frequency warping, more scratches and vinyl samples, and some knee 'jellying' percussion.

If you feel man enough, then add L.E.W.D - Low End Warp Device, the ultimate Low End Drum and Bass module to your beat production arsenal and rattle a nut or two!

When layering the modules from different Series, please be aware that STN accept no liability for any emotional issues that may arise from the use of DruMM. There have been reports of users talking to themselves and using Sith language. This, however, has not been confirmed.

Each module is priced at $8 and each series costs $40!

Music Hardware : Eowave Introduces The Magma - macmusicAfter 2 years of development, we are finally introducing the MAGMA, a new analogue bassline synthesizer with sequencer and memory.

The MAGMA is the definitive version of our prototype called KOMA. We're very excited to show the MAGMA at the Musikmesse in Frankfurt on Eowave's booth, Hall 5.1, booth A80A. The MAGMA is an analogue bassline synthesizer inspired by classical synths from the 1980s. It offers the possibility to mix 4 different waveforms (saw, square, sub, noise). The 24 dB low-pass filter is also inspired from classical filters.
To this particular sound of the 80s, we added a touch of modernity with modern controls and parameters saving features. The 16 steps sequencer has 4 rows: 1 for the notes and 3 freely assignable to a parameter of your choice that enables to create living sequences with sonorities like Vince Clark or Yann Hammer.

Some features:
Oscillator section
- analogue VCO with square saw sub (sub can be 1 or 2 octaves below the master freq), noise. -VCO can be modulated by LFO and PW -Variable glide
- mixer to mix the 4 waveforms( Saw, Square, Sub, Noise)

Filter section
- Full analogue VCO, Filter, VCA, external audio with a trimmer to feed the filter
- 24dB low pass filter Roland Style (Back to the 80's)

VCA section
- VCA is affected to env1
- 2 envelopes ADSR (Amplitude and Filter), with attack goes from 2ms to 10sec)
LFO section
- LFO with 8 waveforms (triangle, ramp up, ramp down, square, random, digital noise, staircase up, staircase down)
Connections
- audio in audio out MIDI in Usb (for software update and MIDI in&out)
Sequencer
- 16 steps sequencer with LED
