JUNO-106 Synthwave v1.0.0 EXPANSION

JUNO-106 Synthwave v1.0.0 EXPANSION

TWIN FUTURES MEET THE PAST
In the mid-2000s, hidden beneath the internet’s unturned stones, nostalgia began to find itself eking into the present. Standing on the shoulders of French artists like Justice, Kavinsky, and College as well as the fantastical world of video game music, online communities of musicians and sonic wizards began fostering a crossover sound.

Running on the Edge of a Blade
Synthwave conjures images of digital landscapes and retrofuturism. The aesthetics of the genre are drawn from both electro and the ineffable energy of the ‘80s. At the same time, the heart of the sound remains steeped in house and EDM styles.

Roland Cloud proudly presents our Synthwave collection! These 256 patches for the JUNO-106, SYSTEM-8, JX-3P, and JUPITER-8 are the tools you need to create immaculate synthwave architecture. These dramatic saw waves, pulsing basses, and twinkling arps will help your compositions bloom into dreamscapes of paradise and illusion.

Roland hardware synths were critical to establishing the sonic reverie of the 1980s. Use our ACB recreations of these revolutionary instruments to saturate your tracks with bold and beautiful temperatures and create a reality all your own.

JUNO-106 Synthwave Patches
1984 was quite a year. Along with the Summer Olympics and the first untethered spacewalk, it brought us the JUNO-106. With its distinctive stereo chorus and lowpass filter, the instrument became a hallmark of the radio. Try out Synthwave patches like “String 2049” and “Trappist” and see why it’s still beloved today.

Has Synthwave’s extensive assortment of JUNO-106 patches whet your appetite for more retro madness? Fire up the JX-3P, JUPITER-8, or SYSTEM-8 to explore the collection’s additional banks of ’80s-drenched synths…and stranger things.

Master Your Music With A Pro TUTORIAL

Master Your Music With A Pro TUTORIAL

Master Your Music With A Pro TUTORIAL

Learn how to turn your songs into crystal clear, rich and powerful commercial-level masters alongside a professional audio engineer.

My name is Bastiaan, I’m a full-time audio engineer and music producer and I’d love to help you with getting your music ready for release and radio.

This extensive mastering class provides a framework for massively improving the overall audio quality of your music and includes fundamental knowledge on when and why to use what plugins and techniques.

We’ll master a well mixed demo track together from start to finish and you’ll learn everything you need to know about compression, EQ, saturation and much more. I’ll go very much in-depth on every important process we come across.You can also opt to follow along with your own track if you would prefer that.

Why should you listen to what I have to say?

I have gathered a substantial amount of knowledge and practical experience on this subject through my education in music and thousands of hours of hands-on work as a music producer and audio engineer. Some of my recent collaborations include Sara Bareilles, The Kennedy Center of Performing Arts, Babyface, Topsy Cretz, Bulletproofbear Music Publishing and hundreds of indie artists and organizations.

The class is divided into 7 video lessons:

  1. The Equalizer
  2. Compression and Multiband Compression
  3. Stereo Imaging
  4. The Dynamic Equalizer
  5. Excitement and Saturation
  6. Limiting and Loudness
  7. Exporting

Before you watch:

  • The class is taught in Izotope’s Ozone 8 and 9, but can be followed using any other DAW/mastering suite
  • No expensive software or hardware is required to follow the class. Stock plugins will do just fine.
  • This is not a quick n’ easy type of class. We will dive into the matter of mastering really deep and explore the finest details of compression, equalization, etc.
  • A basic understanding of music production is required for the class to be useful.
  • Experimenting is key. Use my advice as a framework, not a template to re-use over and over.
  • Remember to take breaks regularly to keep the ears fresh.

Skillshare allows you to alter video playback speed, so feel free to speed up or slow down to your needs. Grab a cup o’ coffee, download the class project demo track and let’s get mastering!

At the end of this class, you’ll have a very solid understanding of the essential tools and techniques needed to achieve a professional sound for your music.

Plugin Alliance WEDGE FORCE Matcha v1.3.5 VST2 VST3 AU AAX

By | February 15, 2022

Plugin Alliance WEDGE FORCE Matcha v1.3.5 WIN MacOS

Plugin Alliance WEDGE FORCE Matcha v1.3.5 VST2 VST3 AU AAX WIN MacOS

Create authentic guitar sounds with the WEDGE FORCE Matcha DI guitar synthesizer and your favorite guitar amp plugins! Matcha >>> Pedals >>> Amp >>> FX = Realistic Guitar Sounds

Matcha is a unique and innovative musical instrument that allows keyboarders and MIDI artists to create powerful rock guitar tones that sound as realistic as any you’ve ever heard. In fact, it is so realistic that we encourage you to double your MIDI guitar parts, just like you would do when you record real guitar riffs!

Matcha is more than just a shockingly authentic-sounding guitar synth with powerful onboard tonal-shaping options though. It’s a professional musical instrument ready to be REAMPED into your favorite guitar amps. It replaces the guitar in a recording setup, but not the amps and FX! Pair Matcha with ANY of your favorite pedals, amps, cabs, and FX to get amazing tones, playable from your MIDI keyboard.

Having this potential for massive sounds at your fingertips opens new horizons for keyboard players and composers to enter the world of guitar sounds and effects. And guitarists will enjoy to experiment, combining real guitars and MIDI generated riffs and licks.

While Matcha can be programmed to sound absolutely amazing using MIDI, WEDGE FORCE’s core mission with this instrument was to create a software synthesizer that enables keyboardists to achieve the best possible guitar parts by capturing the nuances of live performances in the studio or on stage.

The modeling under the hood of Matcha is of another level compared to the norms you’ll find in other software instruments. WEDGE FORCE’s engineers quickly realized that sampled sounds could never sound completely realistic because harmonic resonances can sound very different for each combination of notes.

This led the WEDGE FORCE team to build their proprietary “Synthetic Force Engine,” which combines studio pre-sampled waveforms from the world’s most iconic custom made guitars with real-time synthesized sounds.

While pre-sampled waveforms can sound great whenever a single note is played, multiple notes can still sound downright unnatural when played simultaneously. This is where Matcha’s real-time generated harmonics enter into the mix. They are instantly synthesized in real-time for each note, preserving the original waveform’s timbre during pitch bending, sliding, palm muting, pinch harmonics, and more.

All of this is possible with amazing, lightning-fast performance too. WEDGE FORCE has optimized Matcha’s 64-bit double precision engine to free up resources for the effects and other synths you may be running in the background. And its latency is close to zero—less than one millisecond.

With Matcha, you can finally create realistic MIDI guitar tracks. Use it to compose new songs with mouse-click-perfect riffs and solos. Or play authentic and expressive metal guitar parts live on your MIDI keyboard. Easily enhance your productions with multi-layered guitar tracks. And continue editing your MIDI tracks after the musicians have left the studio.

FEATURES

  • Pinch Harmonics: Blend pinch-harmonics into the main tone using the MOD wheel controller of your keyboard to make your riffs cooler, and your solos scream!
  • Palm Muting: Create palm-muted sounds by holding the sustain pedal of your MIDI keyboard for that always cool “Dzj Dzj” Metal sound.
  • Neck Position Mapping: On a real guitar, every note is available on multiple different frets on the guitar’s neck, and they all sound different. This is why Matcha adds the option to choose the proper neck mapping across all six strings for your preferences.
  • Pick Hand Behavior: Matcha uses AI to predict the correct picking direction (up or down) based on the tempo of playing, neck position, and velocity of the previously played notes to select different samples for dynamic and realistic sounds.
  • Real-Time Note Detune: A randomized detune option gives your tone more realism and dynamics within the selected range of cents. The authentic timbre is preserved by the algorithms during pitch bend, slide, mute, and detune operations.
  • Attack and Velocity Control: Gives you control over the attack of your notes, and the velocity mapping depending on your playing style.
