Steinberg Releases Signature Drum Kits.

Covering acoustic and electronic drum sounds while spanning a large variety of styles, the Allen Morgan Signature Drums Vol. 1 expansion pack consists of more than 900 drum sounds and effects that were recorded and processed by engineer and producer Allen Morgan, known for his work with Taylor Swift and Nine Inch Nails. The additional 150 MIDI loops provide five rhythmical patterns for each of the 30 drum kits.

More than 10 new modulation targets have been implemented, including both mixers' global levels, as well as all oscillator levels and noise source levels in each of those mixers.

Think mind-blowing morphing filters, LFO-controlled components of sounds, and excellent evolving textures — just a few flexible examples of what is now musically possible with Oxium 1.5 as a direct result! Additionally, each Mask now has its own elementary envelope, elements of which have also been added as modulation targets. This allows the creation of hitherto-unheard sequence stylings when modulating those parameters in realtime with the mod wheel or other hardware controllers. All told, the Modulation Matrix and Musical Gestures Modulation pages now boast 59 modulation targets between them, making Oxium 1.5 one of the most powerful virtual analogue soft synths for serious sound designers anywhere![P}

IK Multimedia announces 4 new additions to the processor lineup in its popular T-RackS® suite.

Two multi-processor channel strips, a compressor and a vintage tape delay add-on to the T-RackS range of EQs, dynamics and reverb processors, now comprising over 20 of the best sounding mixing-and-mastering native plug-ins available for the most demanding audio engineers and producers.

Toontrack Music announced the immediate release of the New York Studios Collection for the award-winning drum production tool and sampler Superior Drummer 2.0.

This collection combines the award-winning Superior Drummer software with the complete suite of sound libraries in the New York Studios series. The focus of the series has been to capture the most notable and legendary studios in the New York area: The Hit Factory, Allaire Studios and Avatar Studios. These recording facilities have housed chart-topping artists for decades and are all world-renowned for their unique sonic qualities. All sounds were recorded by Grammy Award-winning engineer Neil Dorfsman (Dire Straits, Bruce Springsteen), Pat Thrall (Katy Perry, Beyoncé) and in-demand session drummer Nir Z (Genesis, Chris Cornell).

Added external audio input support enables iMini Version 1.1 users to employ the EXTERNAL input knob to process the iPad's built- in microphone input through iMini's wide-ranging CHORUS and accurate ANALOG DELAY effects models — and also that all- important 24dB per octave fabled filter emulation, of course!

Moving onwards and upwards, expanded MIDI support lets those up-to-date iMini users pick and choose from multiple sources; moreover, inter-app MIDI support — which establishes MIDI messages that enable two iOS devices to identify and enumerate each other — makes it much easier for cool controller apps like Audanika's SoundPrism Pro advanced MIDI controller for iOS to individually control multiple iMini instances while running in the background on the same iPad, for instance. Let's talk, in other words!
