Loomer has announced the release of three new plug-ins for Windows, Mac OS X and Linux in VST, AU and Stand-alone formats: Aspect, a polyphonic synth, Resound, a delay / echo and Manifold, a harmonizer.
Aspect is a 32-note polyphonic software instrument. It combines a synth engine with a semi-modular architecture and an interface designed “to allow practically anything to be used as a modulation source and destination.”
Features:
- Flexible semi-modular architecture.
- 2 analogue-style oscillators, noise generator, 2 filters, 3 envelopes and 3 sync-able LFOs per voice.
- Unison mode allows stacking of voices for bigger sounds.
- Interface designed to simplify building and understanding of complex patches.
- MIDI Learn mode for easy integration with any MIDI hardware controller.
- Over 150 presets.
Resound is a software audio delay effect processor that emulates the sound and operation of magnetic-tape echo units. A controllable noise level is designed to allow for the right amount of grit, distortion, and flutter through. The Reverse mode makes it possible to play each delay backwards.
Features:
- Delay time up to 30 seconds when synced to host tempo, up to 2 seconds when not synced.
- Controllable noise level and high-pass filter.
- Reverse mode.
- Capable of self-oscillation, even without any input source.
- MIDI Learn mode for easy integration with any MIDI hardware controller.
Manifold is a harmonizer audio effect that works by splitting an input signal into as many as 20 individual voices, each of which are detuned and scattered around the stereo panorama.
Features:
- Input audio signal is split into 4 to 20 individual tuned voices.
- Process only a specific frequency range by using the highpass and lowpass filters.
- Panning allows the effect to produce sounds that can be tightly focused in the centre of the stereo image, spread between the extreme stereo edges, or anywhere in-between.
- MIDI Learn mode for easy integration with any MIDI hardware controller.
Pricing & Availability
All three plug-ins are available for for Mac OS X 10.4 and above (Audio Unit, VST and Standalone application), Windows XP and above (VST and Standalone application), and Linux (VST, and Standalone application using JACK or ALSA).
RTAS versions for Mac and Windows are coming soon.
Aspect costs £65; Resound and Manifold cost £35 each.
Evaluation versions are available for free download, with the following limitations:
- User created Program and Bank configurations can be saved, but not loaded.
- [Aspect] Audio output will stop after 30 minutes of continuous use. The only way to continue using Aspect is to restart the application.
- [Resound and Manifold] Output will be periodically interrupted, approximately every 20 seconds, by a short moment of silence.
