New Gear Alert: Sound Collective x Fuse Audio Labs, Clearmountain’s Phases by Apogee, PSP Saturator & More
Novation’s Sound Collective offers free Fuse Audio Lab Bucket-500 and VPRE-2C.
Novation and Fuse Audio Labs join forces on this next exciting offer for Sound Collective members.
The Bucket-500 is a deeply musical delay which introduces a grungy, organic feel which becomes more and more degraded with every repetition, fading to a nice gritty and dark tone. It shines with that instant, recognizable vibe that sits perfectly and pleasantly behind leading instruments and other sources.
The VPRE-2C is an all tube and transformer-based rarity from the 1950s which delivers a smooth and dense tone. Its straightforward design results in a unique and distinguished sonic character. The preamp will enrich your recordings with an authentic tube vibe in the most intuitive way.
This offer is available until December 16th, 2021. To join Sound Collective, simply register any Novation product, then look out for a new offer every couple of months.
Apogee unleashes the Clearmountain’s Phases plugin.
Apogee and Bob Clearmountain team up to deliver Bob’s signature flanger and phaser sounds.
The trippy, undulating sound of flanging and phasing debuted in the ‘60s and ‘70s with songs like Small Faces’ “Itchycoo Park,” Led Zeppelin’s “Kashmir,” and Hendrix’ “Bold as Love.” And it’s made its mark on every decade since, playing key moments on tracks by David Bowie, Roxy Music, The Clash, The Cult, U2, Daft Punk, not to mention dozens of tracks by Van Halen.
Clearmountain’s Phases brings you the sounds of classic flanger and phaser processors used in mixing engineer Bob Clearmountain’s studio, meticulously modeling his rare, vintage flanger and phaser rack modules from the mid-’70s. The plugin adds “expanded” settings modules, so you can replicate Bob’s advanced workflow, easily dialing in the distinct, engaging modulation effects heard on songs from the world’s most influential artists.
Clearmountain’s Phases is available now, priced at $149; try a free demo here.
PSP Audioware announces the PSP Saturator.
PSP implements years of experience in plugin development into this re-imagined saturator module.
The PSP Saturator is based on the concept of the now legendary PSP MixSaturator which was developed 21 years ago. About two years ago, PSP decided it was time to reintroduce this concept and bring it up to modern standards, as well as use this opportunity to implement what they’ve learned in the last few decades of plugin development.
The plugin emulates the way that analog devices such as tape recorders and valve circuits warm up and “saturate” audio material. This is achieved by adding harmonics, dedicated filtering, and dynamic processing. The PSP Saturator uses three algorithms to emulate these devices, and offers eight different shape modes for loads of flexibility from subtle “mix mojo” to outright audio destruction.
PSP Saturator is available now for a special introductory promo price of $69 (reg. 99) until November 14th, 2021. Try a free demo here.
Electro-Harmonix unleashes the Intelligent Harmony Machine.
Featuring two powerful harmonization modes, EHX unleashes the Intelligent Harmony Machine.
The EHX Intelligent Harmony Machine creates amazing, musical harmonies with a very small, easy-to-use package. It features two modes: Intelligent Harmony and Poly Override. In Intelligent Harmony, playing a single note produces a one- or two-voice diatonic harmony in the selected key. In Poly Override, the IHM acts like EHX’s award-winning Pitch Fork with lightning-fast tracking and impeccable polyphonic pitch shifting.
This flexibility of the Intelligent Harmony Machine makes it the go-to harmony pedal for any setting, regardless of style or genre.
Check out an introductory video to the EHX Intelligent Harmony Machine here.
The EHX Intelligent Harmony Machine is available now, priced at $230.
