NUSofting has announced Broken Drum Machine (BDM), a plugin instrument designed for the musicians who love chaos... ! BDM basically offers 4 drum pads like an old, small, beat box with: Bass Drum, Snare, Hi-Hat and Stick, each of those has controls like Decay, Pitch and Filter. But the creative power of the BDM is all in the four "Broken" sliders, one for each pad. With those sliders you can set the amount of wild, weird, chaotic and unpredictable variations to the sound, just like the circuits inside go crazy producing bleeps and glitches you never thought you'd hear from this machine. Sound source is double: a "Osc.Mix.PCM" slider, per pad, allows to choose between the internal VA oscillator or an external Wav sample, or a mix of the two. On top of that the output is configured as 1 stereo + 4 mono outs.
BDM will be available at the end of this year for Mac OS X in VST and AudioUnits formats with price to be announced.

As a direct result of feedback from users of their equipment, TFPro have developed the P110, a new microphone amplifier/compressor/EQ combination.
The P110 is a specialist single channel pre-amplifier employing transformer coupled class-A 'current mode' multiple amplifiers, giving extreme signal handling capability and overload margin. The phase shifter gives the option of switched polarity reverse in addition to 180 degree variable phase setting.
The compressor/limiter is of advanced optical design, retaining the warmth and drive of earlier TFPRO designs and adding versatility with ratios from a gentle 1.2 to 1, up to full extreme limit, and with switchable 'models' to provide a taste of other historic compressors, and add colour to the compressed sound.
