NEXT: Sonivox Twist
Sonivox Twist
A new spectral morphing instrument that’s said to be based on “a new type of synthesis”. Its interface promises to make creating your own sounds easy, and Twist features ‘intelligent’ performance controls. There are several effects and 200 presets to get you started.
discoDSP Corona
discoDSP’s latest is a synth that combines virtual analogue and wave oscillators. There are three LFOs, three ADSR envelopes, plus unison, chorus, delay and limiter effects and analogue-modelled filters. All of the above is wrapped up in what’s being pitched as a straightforward interface.
Sonoris Audio Engineering Mastering Compressor
Sonoris puts their skills to the task of creating a compressor suitable for delicate material. Residual artifacts are reduced using up to 8x upsampling. Character fiends can take comfort in the hard knee function. Four processing modes are available, including Mixed Linked, Highest Linked, Variable and MS Split.
