Propellerhead Software today unveiled Balance, its first audio interface and foray into hardware. Integrated with Reason Essentials Software, Balance is at the heart of Propellerhead's complete music making solution.

Balance, a two-in by two-out audio interface for Mac and Windows, is designed for the single person operated home/project studio. Fully USB 2 powered with separate volume controls for monitors and headphones, it contains 8 input connections to keep all instruments, mics and devices connected and ready to record with the press of a button—without software pop-ups or control panels. The included Reason Essential packs in all the recording editing, effects, instruments and mixing tools needed to create great sounding tracks.

Stylo is a library dedicated to Kontakt 4 owners. It is built on two layers with samples recorded from my original Stylophone: vibrato on and vibrato off.

Stylophone is a very basic pocket electronic organ but this library gives you the possibility to tweak the Stylophone sound with
one LP filter, LFO, volume envelope, reverb, delay and voice control (switchable between monophonic and polyphonic).

PitchCraft corrects pitch problems in vocal or instrumental recordings, using its high-quality algorithm, while formant correction retains a voice's natural sound. PitchCraft can also be used as a sound design tool — for effects such as voice disguise, changing an adult's voice into a child's voice, "gender transformation" and a wealth of other creative possibilities. PitchCraft also can be used for "exaggerated" vocal correction effects, made famous by many of today's leading artists. This plug-in is available in Audio Units, RTAS or VST.
