This is a little vaporific, but Wusik has announced Wusik Fuse Box, a multi VSTi manager/chainer:

This is an announcement only, the product is not ready for release yet. We are still working on its interface. We should have screenshots ready in a week, and a beta version in around a month. You can PreOrder now and save on its final price.

This new product will also be included with all Wusik Station V6 Orders. So if you already purchased Wusik Station V6, you don’t need to purchase Wusik Fuse Box.

The idea behind Wusik Fuse Box, is to be able to work with multiple instances of any VSTi in the same location. This tool adds the option to have multiple Wusik Station and Wusik EVE instances, which can be played with one keyboard. You can also divide VSTs by Key-Zone, Velocity-Zone or Midi-Channels.

Wusik Fuse Box is based on the same idea of Wusik VM, but with the ability to work with multiple VSTs, a new interface, Tree-View of your computer files and an Effect-Rack with Sends and Inserts.

With time, the product can grow with its own Sequencer option, making this an alternative to your current Sequencer. Something we wanted to do with the previous Wusik Red Fuse idea, but here, we are taking it to a new direction; something several users already asked a while ago.

I assume that Wusik wanted to make sure you knew about this before you went out and spent your good money on an alternate multi VSTi manager/changer.

Wusik Fuse Box will retail for $49.95.

“Quite simply put, it beats the s*** out of any other single chip emulation VST currently available,” says 8-bit artist nitro2k01. “chipsounds is a must-have for anyone who’s seriously interested in chip sounds but don’t have access to the real hardware.”

chipsounds is designed to faithfully reproduce the sound and style of vintage video game music and sound effects in plugin format, usable inside any sequencer or DAW, or as a standalone virtual instrument.

Plogue chipsounds will be offered at an introductory price of 75$ until November 1. Read more…
