Vortex VSTi Public Beta and Special Pre Release Deal

After a vast amount of work, Vortex is the latest HGS Plugin and is a Multi Timbral midi plugin with 12 Step sequencers and a whole host of ways to manipulate them in real time. See the Vortex page for full details.

Although it is still in beta, the midi code is finished and fully functional, the only feature yet to come for the official release is an internal sound engine based on Ammonite which can be used as an alternative to external midi and will allow presets to sound the same on all systems regardless of the external midi gear you may wish to control with it.

 

ARP VSTi updated to v1.7

ARP VSTi Page

V1.7

  • New Sequencer GUI – A purpose built interface has replaced the old sliders on the main sequencer.
    • Muters – This row has now been integrated into the main Sequencer Display so that when muters are enabled only playing notes are visible. Clicking on a disabled slot will add a note and double clicking will remove an existing note.
    • Velocity – The velocity Sequencer from the modulation Page is now overlayed on the main Sequencer Display when it is enabled. Clicking right side of the step will allow editing the value, or alternatively holding CTRL will override note editing so that only velocities are edited. The old Velocity Sequencer is still available for people who still want to use it. The Enable button has also been duplicated to the main screen.
    • Ties – When a Tie is in effect, the note will be turn green so that they can easily be seen.
  • Custom Scales – A new section is now available on the Scale Remapper which allows editing of 12 custom scales. These can either be selected via any of the Scale Menus, or alternatively there is a ‘Use All’ button which will instantly load Custom Scales 1-12 to the corresponding menus. When using the latter method it is then possible to have total control over all scales for each note and so they can be edited on the fly. The Use All button has also been duplicated on the main screen at the top of the Scales column.
  • Studio One – Fixed a crash which happened at startup with some users of Studio One.

Modulator VST updated to v1.1

V1.1

  • LFO 2 – A second LFO is now available to further modulate either the Feedback, Depth, Offset or Rate.

  • CC Controllers – Now all controls have an assigned CC controller.

ARP VSTi updated to v1.53

V1.53

  • Hold Mode – Now when hold mode is active, if a note is triggered it will stick, but if it is triggered again it will be released.
  • Fixed a bug where some people where having issues with ARP loading in some hosts.

V1.52

  • Fixed an issue with the clocks in certain hosts.

Modulator Free VST Plugin Released

Modulator does what it says on the tin, it uses an LFO which can then be used to create many modulation style effects such as Flangers, Phasers, Ring Modulators etc… The LFO can also be swapped for an Envelope follower which will use the incoming sound level as the modulation source in various ways.

ARP VSTi Updated to v1.5

Get the latest version from your downloads page or get the demo from the ARP Page

  • ARP Sequence Lights added – Now there is a row of lights below the main ARP Sequencer to demonstrate which position is currently active. Note that this is designed for monophonic mode, in Polyphonic mode the lights indicate the first triggered sequence.
  • 4 x CC Sequencers added – This brings the total to 7 independent CC Sequencers.
  • CC Sequencer Modes – A new menu offers alternative modes for the CC Sequencers such as Envelope Mode which will draw a linear line between points sending out a CC Value every 32nd note. For this to be useful the CC sequencer should be set to a slow tempo.
  • Copy/Paste Functions – Allows copying the ARP Sequence and lanes from one patch to another.
  • Double/Quad Functions – Double will copy the first 16 beats of the ARP Sequencer and lanes to the last 16 beats, for easily repeating the pattern without manually editing the events. Quad will repeat the first 8 beats 3 times.
  • Colour Coded Step Markers – Beneath the lights are some markers to denote each bar start etc making it clearer which step is being edited.
  • CC Shift functions fixed – Shift Left/Right wasn’t working on the CC Sequencers.
  • GUI Open Bug – Previously the GUI needed to be open at least once when opening an existing project for all the data to be initialised, this is now resolved.
  • CC Knob Assignments added.
