Rob Papen has just released RG - The Rhythm Guitar Synthesizer.

RG is an innovative software instrument that allows the user to create not just classic rhythm guitar grooves, but also exciting new grooves and sounds which a real guitar could never produce.

RG uses a keyboard layout of "major-" and "minor" chords to play the grooves, each with two sequence pattern (A or B) options. Just hit a single note in the major or minor keyboard range and the groove plays. The sound sets are clean sampled guitars, which gives you great freedom and flexibility when using the synthesizer features and effects of RG.

Guitar types included are the classic Fender Stratocaster electric guitar, the 8th note groove type Steel String acoustic guitar and the 16th note groove type Steel String acoustic guitar.

The synthesizer parts of RG include a classic analog modelled synthesizer filter, LFO, envelopes and modulation section. The effect section can be built up by using up to 3 effects at a time. MIDI time-based delays, chorus and speaker simulators, phaser, flanger and many more are all featured plus over 500 presets including 300 "RG" grooves and 200 "basic" grooves.

RG is available now for Mac OS X and Windows in VST, AU, RTAS formats with an MSRP of £99 / €149 / $179.

Neumann is introducing the TLM 103 D, the digital version of their classic TLM 103, at the 125th AES Show in San Francisco.

When used in conjunction with digital workstations, Neumann Solution-D microphone technology makes life easier for users.

Platinum Samples is excited to announce the immediate release of Evil Joe Barresi's Glamouflage Kit QuickPack for BFD.

Tracked by Joe Barresi (Tool, Queens Of The Stone Age, Bad Religion, Weezer, etc...) on a Neve 8028 console to analog 2" tape at the legendary Sound City Studios (Nirvana, Foo Fighters, NIN, Rage Against The Machine, Tool), the drums have been taken to the next level and have been fully mix processed without losing any velocity layers or resolution. Joe has EQ'd, compressed and performed his magic using the same console and equipment he uses when mixing. In addition, Joe patched the Kick and Snare though his classic Helios console - both through the Line Inputs to give them added warmth, and through the Mic Inputs to give a modern distorted option, offering a total of three wicked choices for the Kick and Snare. The Glamouflage Kit QuickPack also includes well over 1,200 new grooves in both BFD2 and BFD 1.5 format.

The Glamouflage Kit QuickPack is available now for $89.99.
