Music Software : 2 new plug-ins for the Scope platform - pcmusicAdern announces the release of two new plug-ins for the Scope platform.

Xor is a Variable Wave synthesizer. Xor's combination of varying waveform oscillators, rich sounding multi-mode filter, diverse pattern LFOs and intuitive modulation routing allows the creation of new and exciting soundscapes revealing the darker, and electric side of Scope - like never before.

Mojo is an ultra dynamic guitar amp emulation. Mojo has been designed to achieve the most expressive tone in current emulations, have a smooth, elegant, very light crunch and be extremely dynamic and touch responsive. Mojo's character is unique, yet its sound palette is rich, ranging from blazing hot lead guitars, through scooped and crunchy blues sounds, to sensitive and dynamic clean tones.

Xor and Mojo have fully functional demos on adern's site.

Celebrating the release, Adern's online shop is offering a time limited discount to all of its products until May 1st 2009.

Virtual Instrument : A virtual TR-606... - pcmusicD16 Group unveils Nithonat, a Roland TR-606 emulation. All instruments in Nithonat are fully synthesized and offer more advanced and extended sound shaping capabilities than its predecessor. The whole functionality of Nithonat is very similar to the other drum machines from D16 Group, which makes it an easy-to-use and creative instrument. Nithonat's GUI is in the same fashion as D16 Group's Phoscyon.

Nithonat is planned to be released as both VST and AU for Windows and Mac OS X simultaneously. More information should be available "soon".
