MIDI Playable Chopper

The all-new MIDI Playable Chopper brings MPC-style performance sampling and Hip Hop beat creation to ACID Pro 10. Play samples from loops, beats and from drum kits – perform and record the results as audio events for instant remixing. Packed with the new time-saving Auto Slice function, the MIDI Playable Chopper also features a brand-new transient detection for Automated Marker Placement. It is a perfect way to play around with drum loops and mark them with 8th, 16th or 32th notes. Play, record, jam – ACID is your new performance instrument!

Chopper

Chopper is a tool that allows you to slice and dice an audio file so you can re-order, remix, change its groove and replay it. It creates amazing rhythmic variations of the original audio and you can create many of your own customized samples from one original loop. Chopped events will play in sync with your ACID Pro 10 projects, and you can even use keyboard commands to drop events from the Chopper onto the timeline in real time.

Beatmapper

Beatmapper offers a super fast and slick process to remix music in ACID Pro 10. It identifies the tempo and time signature information in external audio files – including MP3s and complete songs – and allows you to label and edit the file with that information. You can then create Beatmap songs and when other clips are added, they all lock to the tempo of the imported file allowing quick and easy remixing. Beatmapped audio files can also have their tempos and pitches edited for maximum flexibility.

The next generation.

In sampling music. ACID has always used groundbreaking audio technology for producing music, seamlessly allowing you to mix and match sample pitches and tempos. Now ACID Pro 10 brings the next generation of sampling to the masses with an all-new audio file separation technology.

Slate Digital Virtual Tape Machine v1.1.17.2 VST2 VST3 AAX [WIN]

Digital recording is now the standard for professional music production, but many engineers and musicians still long for the days of analog recording.

And they do for good reason – Analog Tape Machines have a SOUND.

Big, fat, warm, deep, rich and exciting are just some of the terms used to describe what recording onto a piece of magnetic tape sounds like. To those that know, tape is simply more musical. So we modeled two of the most famous tape machines in audio and provide them both along with options like bias, tape speed, tape type, and more in Virtual Tape Machines.

WORLD-CLASS TAPE MACHINES FOR YOUR DAW

VTM has been praised by pro engineers for its extreme authenticity, because every aspect of tape is carefully reproduced. This authenticity is due to years of intense study from Slate Digital CTO Fabrice Gabriel. Using VTM on your tracks and mixes will make your mixes warmer, smoother, punchier, and more analog!

CHOOSE YOUR FAVORITE MACHINES & TAPE STOCK

VTM emulates both a 16-track 2-inch tape machine and a 1/2 inch stereo mastering deck. Not only that, you can also choose between the two most popular tape formulations. Different formulations have different properties and headroom, and ultimately will give you different sonic results.

CONTROL YOUR SPEED

VTM accurately emulates the behavior of both of the most common tape speeds of 15 and 30 ips. Engineers who use tape sometimes choose which speed to use based upon the material they’re recording, since the bass response can differ a great deal between the two speeds. You can further refine the bass response using the bass alignment slider in the Settings module.

Features

• Two tape machine types:
• 2″ 16 track
• 1/2″ mastering deck
• Two tape formulations
• Two speeds: 15 ips and 30 ips
• Noise reduction control and auto mute
• Wow & Flutter control
• Bass alignment control
• Normal, Low & High Bias settings
• Level Calibration
• VU ballistics
• Grouping control
• Settings global or per channel
• Tape reels start and stop in sync with DAW transport

PSPaudioware PSP E27 v1.7.1 VST2 VST3 AAX [WIN]

PSP E27 is a multistage equalizer plug-in modeled after the analog equalizer E27 produced by Avedis Audio Electronics. E27 offers three-band equalization with nine selectable frequencies in a standard 500x package. This equalizer offers +/-16dB of boost/cut at musically selected frequency ranges, and offers gentle saturation. Low and high filters can work in bell or shelf mode with a single click. E27 is suitable for both mixing and mastering. PSP E27 offers additional preamp stage for global level control. This EQ plug-in catches nonlinear behavior of analog devices.

PSP E27 SE (included in the bundle) is a simplified version of PSP E27, our multistage equalizer plug-in modeled after the analog E27 produced by Avedis Audio Electronics. The PSP E27se is based on the same great audio engine, but it has a redesigned, simpler GUI making quick adjustments a snap. The PSP E27se is equipped with one E27 and one PA11 module. It’s perfect for both mono tracks and stereo stereo in which you don’t need seperate settings for the Left and Right channels.

PSP is the sole developer and manufacturer of the PSP E27. Functionality and sound of the PSP e27 have been approved by Avedis Audio Electronics. “TransDrive™” is a trademark of Avedis Audio Electronics.

PSPaudioware PSP PianoVerb2 v2.5.1 VST2 VST3 AAX [WIN]

PSP PianoVerb2 is a redesigned and improved creative resonant reverb plug-in based on our famous and beloved freeware plug-in PSP PianoVerb. The new version offers redesigned GUI with a brand new resize feature and new presets management. Like the original PianoVerb it creates its unique sound with twelve resonant filters that mimic the behavior of piano strings. The ability to transpose, tune and detune the set of strings allow you to set up PianoVerb2 to deliver a wide range of reverberations ranging from traditional wide spread reverb to unique and unusual resonances.

With the addition of a brand new modulation section and the ability to set up multiple settings of time and damping and decay freezing (via A/B comparison function) this little plug-in delivers amazing options for creative use. Add to that some other amazing new additions such as a high pass filter section, independent dry/wet controls and a reverb tail freeze control, and you can see just how PianoVerb2 has become a truly comprehensive and unique algorithmic reverb. Whenever you want to add some natural resonance to a weak piano track, vitalize your leading guitar with a bit of sustain or simply add a touch of a nice reverb to the selected track, PSP PianoVerb2 can do the job!
