RaySpace 2.4 is an updated plug-in for simulating reverb in acoustic chambers. It’s got a fully 3D interface you can rotate around as you make adjustments, and, its creators assure us, it’s not a convolution reverb. Instead, it’s powered by bubbles. Say what? DBT (Diffuse Bubble Tracing) is a highly efficient algorithm that analyses the […]

Our readers are smarter than your readers. And, erm, this writer, sometimes. Keyboard Magazine, 1985: Recalling music tech from back in the day. I remember that issue. Was surprised to notice that it’s now 21 years old. Crap. *I’m* old. Those were coolest issues with the SoundPages, the little flexible tear-out 45’s. Heh, I think […]

Create Digital Music’s sister site has more on live visuals and interactive digital art. Cheating a bit here — it’s actually been two weeks — but it’s the dog days of summer here in the Northern Hemisphere and everyone’s moving a bit slow. Pictured: Dreams in High Fidelity. We looked at 3dconnexion, the creators of […]

Okay, so we have good weeks and bad weeks. This week … wasn’t so hot. First, there’s the new Intel-native version of Cycling ’74’s lovely Mac utility, Soundflower. As many reported, something seems not-quite-right about the installer. On my PowerPC-based machine, the driver for Soundflower itself doesn’t appear anywhere (Audio MIDI Setup, etc.) and Soundflowerbed, […]

I love mice. They’re still a great way to do many things, and while some may think they’re anachronistic, they still do the job for a lot of interface tasks quite nicely. But they’re also painfully awkward for many tasks in 2D and 3D graphics. The folks at 3Dconnexion have been rethinking input devices in […]

I love free synths for two reasons. First, they’re free. Second, they’re often perfect for some simple, fun inspiration without knob overload. KeyToSound’s new REMEDY soft synth sounds great, and has just enough control to be a fun instrument to drop into your session. Highlights: Two oscillators, with mix, Pulse Width Modulation, FM Modulation 5-voice […]
