Roland DJ Pierre’s Phuture Collection [TB-303, TR-707, TR-727]

Transform your sound with this exclusive collection of patches and patterns from musician, producer, and acid house pioneer DJ Pierre. Expertly fusing the classic squelch of the TB-303 with the dynamic rhythms of the TR-707 and TR-727, this visionary music maker fully flexes his genre-defining skills to help inspire some high-octane bangers of your own.

Squelch and serendipity

Forces collided in the mid-’80s, bringing together a Japanese synth manufacturer and driven artists from Chicago in the United States to birth an entire cultural movement. At the core of this movement was a passionately creative group of musicians and three now-legendary musical instruments.

Designing the Phuture

Along with Earl “Spanky” Smith Jr. and Herbert “Herb J” Jackson, DJ Pierre formed the groundbreaking group Phuture in 1986. When they picked up a secondhand Roland TB-303, DJ Pierre’s inspired knob-twisting altered the frequency and resonance of the bass patterns to invent a sound that would impact music forever. He went on to become a quintessential dance music producer with decades of cutting-edge house productions to his credit, and the master creator shows no signs of slowing down.

THE INSTRUMENTS

TB-303

With an unmistakable sonic signature brimming with warmth, energy, and character, the Roland TB-303 Bass Line defined the acid house movement of the late 1980s. Widely misunderstood when launched in 1981, the true revolution began several years later when electronic music producers rediscovered the quirky box and unleashed the hypnotic, liquid sound that captivated a generation.

TR-707

In 1985, Roland released the now-famous TR-707 Rhythm Composer. Taking its rightful place next to other classic Roland drum machines, this previously underrated instrument has appeared on hit tracks in a long list of genres, including synth pop, acid house, industrial, electro, indie, alternative, and more.

TR-727

Right alongside the TR-707 in 1985, Roland released the TR-727 Rhythm Composer and its palette full of energetic Latin percussion. Lesser known but no less loved, the TR-727 has found its way into a wide range of styles over the decades, from tribal and acid house to pop and techno. And it’s perfect for Afrobeat, reggaeton, and other more exotic contemporary styles.

Learn to use DJ Pierre’s Phuture Collection, patches and patterns for the TB-303, TR-707, and TR-727… designed by the artist who invented acid.

Eli covers the basics and then gets very detailed, describing all the advanced features so you’ll know you way around with your eyes closed. These videos are for new CREMONA QUARTET users.

Eli welcomes you and starts with a bit of background information on the technology used to create this library before going over the main components of the interface so you can get your bearings. After that, you’ll start learning about key switches (how to assign them, use them, etc.), articulations (Marcato, Sustain, Detaché, etc.), and dynamics (using the mod wheel and other MIDI control parameters) and the ways they can transform your performances.

HoRNet ThirtyOne MK2 v2.1.0 VST2 VST3 AAX [WIN]

By | March 4, 2022

HoRNet ThirtyOne MK2 v2.1.0 WIN

HoRNet ThirtyOne MK2 v2.1.0 VST2 VST3 AAX [WIN]

Spectrum analyzer and graphic EQ with auto tuning for a perfect sounding mix.

ThirtyOne MK2 is a plugin that includes a spectrum analyzer and a graphic equalizer, both have the standard 31 one third octave bands.

This pair of tools is very common in every rack of any live mixer as the final tool in the master bus, for this reason we decided to recreate the behaviour and specific time response of a very common Italian analog spectrum analyzer.

The equalizer is also inspired by analog units allowing ThirtyOne to recreate that master chain feeling that you are used to.

We put a great care in recreating the smooth lighting of LEDs driven by a smoothly increasing current flow, each column of twelve LEDs comes after a 20dB/octave filter (like the original hardware unit) and it’s response speed is selectable between 0.25, 1 or 4 seconds allowing you to see both fast peaks and average frequency level.

Each of the LED of the bar can have a value of 1, 2 or 3 dBs (like in the original hardware unit) and we also added 6dB/LED option, when changing the resolution the scale on the left of the LED display updates accordingly.

We also added a maximum peak hold LED for each frequency band that can be enabled or disabled that the original unit did not have.

Right below the spectrum analyzer we have put the 31 sliders that will let you shape the output and fix any particular resonance. Each of the sliders drives a standard 1/3 octave second order filter and can be adjusted from -15 to +15 dB, you can also change the value for each band typing in the box below each slider.

The equalizer has a very special feature called the “Auto EQ”, when enabled the output of the spectrum analyzer is used to tune the gain for each of the EQ band allowing the equalizer to automatic set itself so that the maximum harmonic balance is achieved.

Features

  • 31, one third octave, spectrum analyzer bands.
  • Spectrum analyzer carefully crafted to give you the feeling of analog hardware units.
  • three different integration times for the analyzer.
  • four scale ranges for the analyzer.
  • peak hold display.
  • display both the L+R (mid) component or the L-R(side) component of the audio spectrum.
  • 31, one third octave, equalizer.
  • Each band of the equalizer can be bypassed.
  • Each band of the equalizer can be put in solo mode.
  • Each band of the equalizer can be disabled for the AutoEQ.
  • Each band gain adjustable from -15 to +15 dBs.
  • “Auto EQ” automatically balances frequency content.
  • Three different algorithms for AutoEQ.
  • AutoEQ can work both in continuous or fixed mode.
  • Each of the two modules can be disabled to save CPU.
  • AutoEQ amount knob to scale the effect impact
  • Custom compensation EQ profile for the AutoEQ algorithm
  • Compensation curve can be saved and loaded
  • Preset save and load
  • Bypass button for the equalizer.
  • GUI is scalable and hardware accelerated.
  • macOS (>=10.11, Metal required) and Windows (Windows 7 and later, OpenGL 2.1 required) support.
  • Apple M1 support
  • 64-bit plugin for Mac and Windows.
  • Audio Units VST2.4, VST3 and AAX format.
