Applied Acoustic Systems let us know that they have released an update for their acoustic object synthesizer plug-in, Chromaphone 2.
The new version includes fixes and enhancements, as well as a brand new Basics bank containing initialization presets to help you create new sounds from a blank state.
The update is free and available now on AAS’ website.
Pricing and Availability
Chromaphone 2 is available now for US $99 (a 50% discount, through January 22, 2018).
I really love Chromaphone. I don’t find much call for it, but it is a pleasure to listen to.
I love this tool too. It’s great as a sound source with my mallet kat and electronic drums.
An astonishing piece of software!
AAS makes great instruments. I use their guitar plug Strum and it really steps up with authority. I use Sculpture in Logic for my PM synth, but Chromaphone is easier to approach. They offer several inexpensive sound banks for it, too; you can learn a lot by tweaking the presets. Its a good way to sound more personal. The company’s only real flaw is the lack of a resizing option for their GUIs. I’ll easily tolerate that in trade for the solid musicality. $99 is a no-brainer price.
I look forward for them to add MPE support and the ability to cope with high midi rates for parameter modulation. It’s such an expressive source already!
Good sound. GUI needs redesign and resizing. Patch browsing needs tags and search.
