Get with the programmers Get to the bottom of this esteemed developer’s interesting delay-based synthesis method Cascade’s synthesis is based upon “a complex delay network that can densify a sound up to 5832 times.” How exactly does it work? KV “Cascade’s complex delay network consists of four stages of eight delays each. It’s in VST/AU/AAX formats, and the price tag says £80. As you’d expect, it’s packed with presets and samples. These four layers can be displaced in time in the Scatter section, to lock sounds tightly, or space them out for a lazier vibe. You can also layer a drum synth engine with an analogue-modelled oscillator and noise generator. Three sample layers offer looping, eight-point envelopes, filters, insert effects and more. UrL Sample Magic StackerĬreate a satisfying sandwich of samples ’n’ synthesis with Stackerįamed for their spot-on sounds, this drum layering plugin from Sample Magic lets you design percussion hits. It’s priced $69 and is VST/AU/AAX/standalone. Additions include a Formant control, tremolo, autopan, phaser, chorus, reverb, compressor and amp sim. So, there are audible tonal changes from key to key, which Waves say gives it real personality and true 70s funk/soul vibes. No videogame graphics this time, this one is a multisampled “road-worn” electric piano. Formats include VST/AU/AAX, and it’s $129. Thick is the final process, smoothing midrange to solidify the signal’s body – Waves compare the result to that of moving the mic closer. Waves’ new plugins are Pusher (top-left), Scheps Parallel Particles (top-right) and electric 88 (bottom) Bite “controls the front ends of the notes”, so we guess it’s a transient shaper of some kind, though they Air does the same for the top end, creating “innovative resonances that do not exist in your source”. To conjure up sub frequencies, crank the Sub dial. This plugin encapsulates the four fave mix tricks of top producer/ engineer Andrew Scheps’ (RHCP, Adele, Metallica, Jay Z, and tons more), with an interface that looks more like a futuristic tunnel racer than a piece of audio software. Pusher’s main competition, though, could be from Waves’ other big release, Scheps Parallel Particles. Finally, you can pump up the level with the Push control, which offers clipping and limiting methods. If you want to excite dynamics across the board, crank the Magic dial. Mid and treble enhancement come via the Body and High knobs, while Stereo Image widens the top end. The Low enhancement section can be tuned to a frequency or note, and Waves reckon it’s ideal for making kick and bass pop through. Pusher is a multiband enhancer and limiter/clipper that squirts the duo’s “secret mixing sauce” all over your tracks.
