Free Epic-Epic Sound Library Sounds Pretty Dang Epic

Posted on April 3, 2012 by synthhead

Audio Genetics Lab has released Epic-Epic, a free sound library for Kontakt that actually sounds pretty epic.

Here’s what they have to say about Epic-Epic:

All audio demos are produced entirely with the Epic Epic library and do not use any extra processing other than reverb ,EQ ,compression, volume automation, imaging, more reverb, limiting, delays, analog hardware panning ,a Reaktor patch that sounds great but who knows what its really doing, a few interns for getting coffee, a Palindrometer, deep meditation, and the luck of the Irish.

That’s pretty much what it takes to get a clean, up-front epic sound, these days.

Details at the Audio Genetics Lab site.

Free Justin Bieber Super Fun Ableton Live Pack

Posted on January 27, 2012 by guest

We’ve been hard at work for the last couple of weeks, putting in the long hours to bring you the news from the Winter NAMM Show.

But we’ve been so focused on NAMM news that we totally missed some new gear that flew in ‘under the radar’ – the Paper Jamz Justin Bieber Keyboard Guitar.

We don’t know how we missed a sick cardboard axe like this, especially since you can get it for $10 at Wal-Mart.

Fortunately, AfroDJMac has his finger on the pulse of the Justin Bieber action and he brought this Bieberific bad boy to our attention:

Hey Synthtopia, Thanks for all the great coverage over the last week, it’s been pretty exciting.

Surprisingly, however, you guys have never covered one of the years hottest electronic musical instrument, the Paper Jamz Justin Bieber Keyboard Guitar

Well don’t worry I have the scoop on it and have made it into an Ableton Live Pack consisting of a synthesizer, drum rack, some nasty samples, and a Slice to Midi preset for the enjoyment of all! There’s a gritty lo-fi charm bringing this Justin Bieber toy into Ableton and making synths and such out of it. I hope you guys like it!

Actually, listening to the demo for the Justin Bieber Super Fun Ableton Live Pack, it sounds like AfroDJMac’s come up with something a bit twisted and wrong.

But, if twisted and wrong + Ableton Live + Justin Bieber is right up your alley, check out AfroDJMac’s site for the details and the download.

Posted on January 22, 2012 by elisabeth

Applied Acoustics Systems, developer of “software based synthesis tools,” has expanded its Sound Bank Series with new titles for its Chromaphone percussion synthesizer.

Chromaphone combines acoustic resonators to create drums, percussion, mallet, string, and synth-like instruments. Drum skins, bars, marimbas, plates, strings, and tubes form pairs that are “sparked to life” by a configurable mallet and a flexible noise source. In describing how the software works, AAS explain that they have developed “a novel coupling technology” that precisely models how vibrating objects interact and influence each other capturing key acoustic behaviours of musical instruments.
