Celemony has announced the release of Melodyne editor, the company’s first release featuring DNA (Direct Note Access) technology – technology that lets you access and edit individual notes within polyphonic material.

This means you can now:

• Correct wrong notes in a piano recording;
• change the chords in a guitar accompaniment after the recording is over;
• refashion a sample lick;
• Change a track from major to minor; or
• Change the mode of a recording.

Features:

• Single-track audio editing environment with Melodyne technology.
• Suitable for monophonic, polyphonic and rhythmic/complex audio material.
• Offers with DNA direct access to individual notes within chords.
• Works as a plug-in (VST, AU, RTAS) in compatible DAWs under Mac OS X and Windows.
• Can also be used in stand-alone mode.
• Activation on up to two computers or via iLok.
• User interface and manual in English, German, French, Spanish and Japanese.

Melodyne editor is available for PC and Mac for $349 USD / 349 EUR. Read more…

Cableguys has released FilterShaper 2, an update to the VST filter effect that adds parallel filter routing, pan modulation, free-running LFOs and support for Mac OS X. Read more…

Subsun has released Wobbles, a free vibrato plugin for Mac OSX 10.4 and higher (VST/AU).

The effect features adjustable shape, depth and speed. Chorus and phaser type effects can also be achieved by using the dry/wet knob.

The developer notes, “If there is interest in this plugin then I might update it with a couple more features (tempo syncing, custom LFO shapes).”

Roger Linn Design has introduced AdrenaLinn Sync – a software plug-in that offers the same unique beat-synced filter modulation and sequencing effects of their AdrenaLinn III guitar pedal.

It goes further than the AdrenaLinn III, though, adding:

• More Control — More parameters to fine-tune your filter modulation and filter sequencing effects.
• More Randomness — Random sequence generation, random LFO amplitude, plus variable probability of randomly-generated notes or envelope firing.
• More Swing — In additional to half or full swing timing for sequenced notes, you also get on randomly-generated notes.
• Noise source for Self-Generated Noise Beats — Use noise with the sequencer to create synthesized drumbeats, or to excite resonant filters into self-oscillation.
• 2 Simultaneous Modulation Paths — Separately route LFO & Sequencer, or Sequencer Level & Sequencer Envelope, to individual levels of filter frequency, volume and pan modualtion.
• Full Stereo Signal Path — Maintain full stereo from input to output.
• Self-generating sequences — Increase resonance to full for self-oscillating filter or flanger, then use the Sequencer for random or looped self-generating note sequences.
• Musical Scale Constraints — Snap the LFO or Sequencer modulation signals chromatic, major, minor, pentatonic, blues, whole tone, diminished or seven other musical scales.
• Tube-Modeled Distortion — A very warm and smooth distortion with pre-hipass and post-lowpass filters.
• Stereo phaser — A rich, 4-stage stereo phaser.
• 10 Second Stereo Delay with Ping Pong — Makes your beat-synced delays and delay loops more useful. Delay loops as long as 8 bars in length (up to 10 seconds).
• Clean & Simple User Interface — Clearly shows signal flow and modulation routing.
• 128 Great Presets — Includes all of AdrenaLinn III sequenced, random and modulation presets, plus some new self-generating pitched sequences and noise drumbeats.

AdrenaLinn Sync is currently available only for Mac OS X, but they say a Windows version is coming soon. It retails for $99.

Note: AdrenaLinn Sync is based on Cycling 74’s Pluggo which is being phased out. Roger Linn has committed to updating AdrenaLinn Sync to remove this dependency.

Sean Costello, the developer behind Audio Damage’s Eos reverb plugin, has an awesome logo for his company, Valhalla DSP, and an awesome freebie to introduce you to his work.

ValhallaFreqEcho is a free audio VST for Mac & PC that “combines a Bode-style frequency shifter with analog echo emulation to create skull melting chaos.”

That’s right – “skull-melting chaos”.

Can you put a price on skull-melting chaos?
