Virtual Instrument : XILS-lab updates Chor X - macmusicOriginally released last year to considerable critical acclaim, as implied by its obvious onscreen Bucket Brigade Delay Chorus legend, Chor’X is a bucket brigade delay emulation-based chorus plug-in providing several sought-after classic chorus effects and an advanced true stereo dynamic spacializer neatly wrapped in an eye-catching GUI gateway to tweaking its parameters in hitherto unseen speedy and spontaneous ways — allowing audio signals to be positioned in a true stereo space in intuitive fashion, for example.

There’s always room for improvement, of course. Chor’X is no exception to this unwritten rule of software development. Never happy to rest on its laurels, XILS-lab always strives to be the best at what it does and has worked hard to make Chor’X considerably better than ever via Version 1.5 — and not just in a shoddy emperor’s new clothes context either. Far from it, in fact. For above and beyond that tasty GUI XILS-lab has given the Chor’X concept an audio-visual makeover fit for a king!

Virtual Instrument : New sounds for TAL-BassLine 101 by Audio Mind Project - macmusicAudio Mind Project has launched the Freakshow, a soundset for the TAL-Bassline-101 software synthesizer by Togu Audio Line.

The Freakshow consists of 129 carefully prepared sounds for TAL-BassLine 101.

Multiple bass sounds are included: deep, low and calm ones among many others. The soundset makes use of BassLine's polyphony possibilities, too. Thanks to that, there's a variety of stylish and inventive synth, pad and keys sounds in here. On top of that Freakshow contains a selection of lead and orchestral presets.

The sounds will be suitable and useful for a variety of styles from classic analog timbres all the way to some freaky electro.

- 34 Bass sounds.
- 13 Keys sounds.
- 19 Lead sounds.
- 12 Orchestral sounds.

Computer Hardware : RME Launches MADIface USB - macmusicThe MADIface USB is a compact device that provides MADI I/O via USB 2.0 while supporting the format's full 64 channels.

Its sturdy and bus-powered design makes it as easy to use and reliable in your application. The MADIface USB is therefore both MADI portability at its best and a perfect desktop solution to connect MADI equipment to any Mac and PC.

MADIface USB offers several operation modes when used with a Mac or Windows computer: 64 Channel Mix, Redundancy mode, 128 Channel Mix and a straight routing mode.

The option Disable TotalMix completely disables TotalMix, the unit's flexible internal mixer and routing matrix. All input and output data is going straight to record/coming from playback, with no mixing or routing involved. In this mode the outputs are mirrored, carrying the same signal.

In 64 Channel Mix mode TotalMix shows 64 input, playback and output channels. All settings in TotalMix use the data from one MADI input port, and send identical data to both MADI output ports. The currently active MADI input port can be configured in the Settings dialog.
