Music Software : ToneMatrix - a pseudo Tenori-on online - pcmusicToneMatrix is a pretty cool free online app. Basically it is a simple sinewave synthesizer triggered by an ordinary 16step sequencer. It reminds me of the Tenori-on, not as versatile but really fun to play with !

Music Software : Propellerhead Record - pcmusicPropellerhead today unveils its brand new software, Record, which combines effortless recording and a stunning software mixer console with a limitless rack of audio processing gear that builds itself or can be infinitely customized.

Built for independent minded musicians, Record is supposed to have the feel of a million dollar recording studio with the streamlined simplicity of a tape deck. For guitar players, the built-in virtual PODŽ from Line 6 brings a wide range of top quality guitar amps and cabinets. Record's software mixer's sound is faithfully modeled after the renowned SSLŽ 9000K hardware with flexible routing, full dynamics, EQ, advanced effects handling and complete automation. With its state-of-the-art dynamic multicore audio handling, Record uses a computer's processing power to its fullest.

Users will never have worry about track counts, latency issues or adding that extra reverb or effect. With an easy to grasp interface, it won't get in the way of ideas and will inspire users to make more music.

The bad news is that no third-party plug-ins seems to be supported, but it can be ReWired. As with Reason, Record is a "closed system" but that allows the code to be very CPU efficient.

Record begins beta testing today and will be available for purchase worldwide on September 9, 2009. Record will be available through all Propellerhead dealers worldwide at a suggested retail price of $299 / €299 ($149 for registered Reason owners).
