Tube Saturator is the world’s most accurate real time tube amp plug-in. Unlike other tube simulators, which use radically simplified models, Tube Saturator uses state of the art circuit simulation technology to capture every nuance of an analog circuit. With circuit simulation, the analog schematic (consisting of the individual resistors, capacitors, tubes, and so on) completely defines the signal processing. The schematic is converted into a system of non-linear differential equations which is solved at each sampling period, in realtime. That’s mathematical talk for “it sounds exactly like the analog circuit”.

Liptikl is a creative writing tool that can help you come up with new and exciting word arrangements. If you are looking for a lyric generator or you make or write song, music or rap lyrics, poems, copy or ads, then it could be just what you are looking for. In fact, if you write at all it could well be for you. The cut-up / word-shuffling process is often a very powerful technique for stimulating creative writing - unusual, exciting and interesting things can happen. The random word associations Liptikl comes up with can often give you completely new options to consider, bringing extra advantage & fresh ideas to explore. The use of a random lyric generator can sometimes help unblock a block!

Noatikl is unique. It is the evolution of the Koan Generative Music system used in the 90s by Brian Eno et al. To generate its MIDI music notes and controller information it uses generative / aleatoric / stochastic / algorithmic music techniques and parameters that we have developed over the last 20 years. These can be used to drive & control settings of favourite external synths, FX units and samplers or, for totally portable and self-contained sound generation / fx, an advanced and integrated MIDI, Sound & FX multi-synth.

Mixtikl 5 is a powerful & popular generative music / audio loop mixer & cell sequencer. To get you going it is packed with generative templates of which you can adapt all sounds, fx & rules. You’ve 12 tracks to play with / arrange & you can even add in your own audio loops (and 17 Audio Loop paks are now free)! Mixtikl 5 includes a flexible polyphonic modular synth with a wide range of chainable sound/ FX units and it gives back to those who experiment, explore and become familiar with it. Record your mixes to audio, MIDI or even tweet/email them.

REST is an overloaded, and thus misunderstood term in architectural circles these days. This course attempts to clear up some of the misunderstandings about REST as well as provide a more practical approach for designing RESTful solutions - both clients and services.

This course is a deep dive into advanced debugging on Windows. Learn how to use the powerful Debugging Tools for Windows debuggers as well as the internals of key Windows components to reduce the amount of time to resolution for tough bugs.

In addition to the well-publicized Code First approach to database development that the Entity Framework 4.1 provides, it also provides the DbContext API.

When sampling technology was in its infancy, samplers lacked the power required for high-quality interpolation and filtering. Analog-digital converters were primitive, and the sounds that went into these machines came out grittier and darker--but also warmer and punchier. The same qualities that degraded the audio from a technical standpoint had the effect of enhancing the audio from an artistic standpoint. But where are these instruments today? Why do samplers nowadays endeavor to produce an exact carbon copy instead of adding their own touch? Whatever happened to character, to samplers that feel as if they belong in the hands of musicians instead of laboratory technicians? We asked ourselves those very questions, and we couldn't come up with any good answers. So we decided to change that.

Redline Equalizer is a versatile parametric equalizer with novel features. Combining mastering-quality processing with unrivaled workflow, Redline Equalizer provides high precision control over the entire audio spectrum with perfect transparency and absolutely zero phase shift. Whether it's silky smooth highs or ultra-tight lows you're after, Redline Equalizer delivers. Boost or cut up to an incredible 60dB per band without any harshness or boom. Choose dynamic EQ to make your equalization curves adjust in realtime to the source material. Pick either linear phase for extreme transparency, or from several vintage phase and cut/boost characteristics to make your tracks stand out in a mix. Dial in some harmonic distortion for that elusive analogue feel. And with its proprietary S.A.M. (Smart Auto-gain Makeup) you will never have to manually balance levels again.

Redline Preamp livens up any "too clean" signal with a customizable combination of even and odd harmonics, saturation, and soft clipping. Redline Preamp is a vintage console channel, a musical grunge machine, and everything in between. Unique and concise editing options allow for anything from subtle coloration to high-class grunge, from vintage emulation to fattening of digital mixes. A showcase selection of carefully constructed presets ranging from the American Vintage to the full-blown Beyond Repair is included.
