Hammer & Meißel is a keytracked polyphonic modal filter (and more).

Every voice has:

An ADSR Envelope Generator.
A modal filter and a formant filter in parallel.
A comb filter.
A lowpass filter.

The formant filter is the only one that isn't keytracked. Use it to add fixed frequency partials.

You can play the keytracked filters with the key selector
or polyphonic MIDI inputs.

Dial in the noise synth, if you want the effect to act more like a synthesizer.

Create your own modal materials:

Drag Partials.
Drag n Drop a sample onto the material editor.
Explore the functions in the dropdown menues, 'Create' and 'Process'

Below the material editor you can further tweak its character:

Transpose any keytracked filter (in respect to the selected xen scale).
Add mod depth and stereo width to the modal parameters.
Modal parameters: 'Blend, Spreizung, Harmonie, Kraft and Reso'
Comb parameters: 'Feedback', 'Unison'
Lowpass parameter: 'Damp'

The Mod Envelope synthesizes one of 3 modulators:

Temposync ADSR envelope generator.
Envelope follower.
Perlin noise randomizer.

Modalize Your Sound With Hammer & Meißel! :).

An exploration of a 70s classic. A deeply sampled, expressive instrument - a playground of evolving textures, all housed in a sound engine built for discovery and experimentation.

While themkI builds on the engine introduced in Tapes.01, it's not meant to be version 2. Instead, it takes things in a different direction, better suited to the sampled material.

Wrongtools set out to create a juicy transistor organ library that sounded like it had truly lived — weathered, worn, and full of character. They ran the sounds through broken plastic speakers, spinning Leslies, tape machines, and dusty old gear to give it that raw, lived-in edge.

While most organ libraries say, "Here's a clean signal path with five round robins," Wrongtools asked, "What if we fed this through a car speaker that's been sitting in a garage since 1998?"

The result?

80 patches. 1,248 samples. 2.88 GB of cranked, transistor organ sounds.

Built for the full version of Kontakt.

New Native Loudness Meter Plug-ins

Now you can have the very latest in native plug-ins to measure Loudness and True-Peak on mono, stereo or surround (LM6n) tracks in new versions of Pro Tools and other major DAWs.

We've loaded the native LM2n & LM6n plug-ins with new dedicated settings, new viewing options, improved off-line measuring in Pro Tools - and a host of other new features. Of course they come with our innovative Radar Display, allowing you to capture the essence of your loudness landscape at a glance.

• Innovative Radar Display
• Compliant with All Loudness Standards
• Runs Natively in Pro Tools and other DAWs
• Off-Line Measuring in Pro Tools.

True-Peak Meter

Loudness measuring is based on subjective perception, so your program material can in fact overload if normalized the traditional way (quasi-peak or sample-peak). Therefore, normalization is also part of many broadcast standards, and to comply, you must use a true-peak meter.

A true-peak meter looks at the actual samples as well as inter sample peaks, which means that it can unveil peaks that would otherwise cause distortion.

LM2n and LM6n help you get a precise reading that allows you to normalize your audio without compromising the quality.

Violin One is a free virtual instrument that takes a completely new path. Unlike the Hybrid Modeling technology used in many of our other instruments, Violin One combines physical modeling with behavior modeling. This results in a smaller footprint and excellent playability.

A standout feature of Violin One is its support for MIDI 2.0 and MPE, offering users an entirely new way to interact with the instrument through their devices. The higher resolution of MIDI 2.0 provides more precise control over the sound, along with numerous advantages when used with the latest MIDI 2.0-compatible keyboards and controllers.

Violin One is a virtual instrument with great potential, and we're committed to continuously improving it. We greatly value user feedback—it's the driving force behind the evolution of Violin One.
