T-RackS 5 MAX is a bundle of 38 high-end processors, including compressors, limiters, equalizers, reverbs, and more. Together, they deliver a great-sounding rhythm section for songwriting and home production purposes. As a guitarist, I love the combination of MODO DRUM and MODO BASS. It delivers realistic and accurate performances that model the entire process of playing bass- it’s more than just a simple sample-based instrument. MODO BASS is a physically modeled bass virtual instrument. reviewed MODO DRUM in the January 2020 issue, he wrote: “MODO DRUM sounds excellent, especially the kicks, which sound ideally localized for psychoacoustic realism.” I tend to agree with Paul’s take, especially with the ‘Black Oyster’ kit I love the boomy 60’s kick sound with its tight snare-tons of great percussive tones and grooves to work with here! It offers ten drum kits, eight rooms, and 1,400+ MIDI grooves across various genres and time signatures. MODO DRUM is a unique virtual instrument that uses a physical modeling synthesis engine combined with sampled sounds to create compelling drum tones. The ‘Cabs’ section allows complete customization of the Leslie amp and cabinet (including speed and mic distance), and a comprehensive Post FX section provides final tone shaping. The ‘Stomp Box’ section features a classic Tube Screamer-style OD, a BOSS CE-1-style chorus/vibrato, and more. I found the Hammond B-3X to be incredibly immersive-it feels raw and authentic, even down to the electromechanical details. It aims to deliver all of the soul, passion, and vibe that Hammond is known for, with a high degree of realism, detail, and depth.
It was developed closely with Hammond and Suzuki. Hammond B-3X is a brand new IK Multimedia offering, representing the very first official virtual Hammond B-3. It’s easy to get lost in the collection-I found the abundance of synth models to be a vibe setter for many different uses. There are five new members in the Syntronik Deluxe family: VCF3, Memory-V, M-Poly, SH-V, and Modulum. To say this is a deep well of synth exploration is an understatement. The collection totals 80GB of content, with over 2,600 instrument Recreating the sound of 44 legendary hard ware synths and string machines, Syntronik covers it all. Plus, it has the first instance (that I’ve seen) of a Waterphone virtual instrument! Great textures for scoring music to picture.Īnother flagship IK Multimedia collection, Syntronik Deluxe is what synth dreams are made of. As a post-production sound designer, I found the drum hits and risers come together quickly to add impact to a piece. I particularly enjoyed the Cinematic Percussion library. This is a great idea starter to start building around! It can be set up as an arpeggiator, strummer, or phraser (which plays short phrases at the touch of a key). I found the integrated Groove Player window to be particularly interesting. However, the layout is straightforward to pick up on, and then it’s off to the races.
TS4 MAX includes all the expansion packs for SampleTank 4, which is saying something!Īs a newcomer to the ecosystem, the sheer amount of sounds and customization is overwhelming at first. From idea inception to execution and tone shaping, SampleTank 4 is a production powerhouse.
IK MULTIMEDIA MIROSLAV PHILHARMONIK 2 REVIEW SOFTWARE
It’s tough to stop playing! SampleTank 4Īnother IK software staple, SampleTank 4 is designed to be every musician’s music creation station. The only drawback I encountered during my tests is high CPU usage, but that’s an understandable tradeoff for a library of this caliber.
There is a range of articulations, dynamics, and patterns available. The sounds are very responsive and dynamic, with realism and depth. I’ve used a fair number of symphonic virtual instruments, and Philharmonik 2 is among the easiest and most musical that I’ve tried. TS3 MAX also includes the Orchestral Percussion sample pack, which covers loops and hits, for a wide range of percussive instruments. It comes with over 2,700 instruments: strings, woodwinds, brass, concert grand piano, and more.
Miroslav Philharmonik 2Ī longtime flagship product for IK, Miroslav Philharmonik 2 is a complete orchestral sample collection with truly expressive sound. We have reviewed many AmpliTube versions and expansions in past issues, most recently the Brian May Collection (July 2020) where I enjoyed channeling my inner Killer Queen! May’s tone is faithfully represented, and I thought some of the presets and harmonizers provided some instant Queen guitar tones that were addictive to play through. Some new features include a freely configurable signal flow section and a completely re-measured cabinet section for more realism and depth. It features a total of 400 amps and FX, with over 2,500 artist presets to get you rolling. AmpliTube is a go-to for guitarists and bassists when they need realistic amplifier modeling. I’ve used AmpliTube for years, but I’ve never had the complete collection at my disposal.
