Four articles in Soundbytes this month ( soundbytesmag.net ) with five things reviewed:
First up, an in-depth review of the brand new MTS-ESP software from OddSound. (shown above) This is a really wonderful new program that promises to change the way microtonality is done on computers. WELL worth checking out.
Two new sampled string instruments. One new, one ancient. Both sound beautiful.
UVIs wonderful Sparkverb is now available for iPad and iPhone. Beautiful sustaining reverbs!
And finally, a realization of Xenakis' UPIC system - UPISketch2 from the European University Cyprus and the Centre Iannis Xenakis. A lot of fun with samples and sound-stretching and combining sounds to get maximum sonic SKRONK.
Enjoy!
