Manage the inertia of the playback movement over the waveform. Record/overdub the envelope and the note produced by the XY pad in real time. Thanks to the second GUI view of the instrument, which comes with a wider XY pad, the cursor can also be controlled by internal or external touchscreens. One cursor action on the pad can produce drastic and expressive modulation and harmonic changes. Much more than an edition tool, CATALIZ° is an authentic instrument for granular synthesis real time performances. > An impressive collection of 500 presets which explore the various instrument scope (drones, atmos, cinematic soundscapes, SFX, whooshes, timbres and even rhythmics ). > A perfect device for sound designers, composers and music producers that comes with 1,84 Giga of sounds form of all kind ( pads, beats, slices, noises, voices, field recordings. > Skip from 5 different samples on each incoming gate event with the Random and Forward mode in order to push morphing effects between sounds on your preset parameters. > Enhance the granular stream with a Modal Filter and a Resochord for a more physical acoustic rendering of the sound. Throw it on a loop, and you’re immediately transported to the room of a studying anime girl.-> Splice and dice over samples ! Slide the cursor over the pad and travel/scan inside waveform’s micro formants or even jump over different slices… CATALIZ offers a refreshed approach to produce playable harmonics and beats or creative sound design, giving birth to unusual textures and never heard sounds patterns. These are great if you want to get a broken cassette sound, which is the MRX90’s intended purpose. MRX90 comes with only two knobs – Noise and Age. You know, that old thing that people used to create mixtapes.Īnd if you own the Reaktor, you can try using the new MRX90 ensemble created by hip hop/electronica producer Memorecks (both being a play on the classic cassette manufacturer Memorex). Or, you can go the lo-fi route and emulate the sound of a cassette tape recorder. This can be done by using emulations of an analog preamp, tracking board, tape machine, mixing board, summing channel, and master tape. One of the best things you can do to really capture that sound is to recreate the hardware recording techniques in the comfort of your DAW. Unlike bitcrushing and vinyl, tape emulation feels like less like a gimmick and much more like an intentional creative decision.Īs opposed to the perfect, seemingly timeless replicability of digital media, tape emulation adds the type of warmth and character that producers usually pay top dollar for. One can only assume that more “waves” will pop up eventually.Īs far as the audio production world goes, however, the fashionable thing is cassette tape emulation, and with good reason. You’ve certainly listened to some lofi hip hop, vaporwave, synthwave, or even coldwave. Whole genres are springing up constantly that make use of these aesthetics. And to use a third french phrase, the imperfection brings that “je ne sais quoi” to sounds.Īnd at the end of the day, lo-fi processing just a perfect way to immediately contextualize a piece outside of its own merits. The imperfect invokes a certain mystique and allure. Even just the simple act of using older synth sounds to evoke the vapory, rich sounds of classic synths falls into this category.įlaws lend a sort of credibility to art. It could also mean layering vinyl crackles over your tracks to imitate chopped vinyl samples in the 90s boom bap hip hop a la Wu-Tang Clan, A Tribe Called Quest, Biggie, and Nas.

What’s old always comes back around to being new again, but nowhere is this more true than in the audio world. Memorecks has released MXR90, a free cassette tape emulation ensemble for Native Instruments Reaktor (full version required).
