vibe to modern sweetening and wild, exciting behavior; The Ladder is a powerful, articulate sound sculpting tool.

Eventide today announced the Reverb 2016 Stereo Room and Omnipressor plug-ins for AU, VST, and the new Pro Tools Native format, AAX.

Eventide first native plug-ins will be available through Eventide software dealers, and on eventide.com beginning in November 2011 at a special introductory price of $149 and $99 respectively.

The Pro One belongs to the ultimate must-have synthesizers. Although it is a small monosynth that's pretty straight forward to use it offers some unique features that clearly distinguish it from its early 80s competitors.

The Live Pack reincarnation includes more than 200 loops that are organized in three categories: Beats, Free Running, Riddmical.
Also included in the Pack are 21 instruments. Combined with Live's sound shaping capabilities the Pro One gets lifted to the presence and is even playable polyphonic.
