Puremagnetik has introduced Waveframe for Ableton Live 7 & Ableton Live 8.

Waveframe is designed to be a great tool for sound designers and programmers. The huge library of simple waveforms can be used to construct complex soundscapes and instruments.

Two and four-voice templates are included in the library as standalone Live Racks. Open the templates in a new track and drag your waveforms from the Waveframe Library into the voice chain. Then add effects and modulations to tailor your sound.

Waveframe Features:

• Over 1700 waveform samples
• Over 30 waveform rack devices
• A selection of preset pads, leads, basses & more
• Tightly integrated native Ableton effects & controls
• Easy hot-swapping between waveform devices

System Requirements:

• Requires Ableton Live 7 or 8
• 500 MB of physical RAM
• 300 Megabytes (MB) of free hard disk space

Bedlam says that he’ s alive and reasonably sentient, and likes people who like to collaborate on musical projects. See his Vimeo page for more info and music videos.

This is a visual tour and demo of Xoxos Hyperion, an algorithmic sequencing VST.

Hyperion MIDI VST has a semi-modular structure suitable for a wide variety of tuned algorithmic applications. LFOs and counters are used to easily create dynamic MIDI sequences and change them on the fly, or to modulate other components of the architecture.

Hyperion produces glissandos or subtly varying sequences for up to three parts on three separate MIDI channels using a simple chord function. It can also be used as a phrase arpeggiator to make sure that you never play out of key or out of sequence.

Hyperion is available for $25. The demo is limited to bpm settings.

Am Anfang ( in the beginning ) is from German musician Mario Schönwälder.

He was born in 1960 in Berlin. In 1984 he created his first electronic experiments with a KORG MS 20 synthesizer.

As of 1988 he had a contract with Bernd Kistenmachers Label Musique Intemporelle. After the second CD he stopped with this label and started his own label Manikin Records on which about 100 productions have been released, including titles by Ashra, Klaus Schulze, Spyra, Rainbow Serpent, Broekhuis, Keller & Schönwälder, and many others.

He has performed many concerts as a solo-artist, with the duo Keller & Schönwälder, with the trio Broekhuis, Keller & Schönwälder and together with Thomas Fanger. Am Anfang can be found on the cd Arcanum & Friends Klangraum II.
