Puremagnetik have a new live pack out and it's based on the Ensoniq Fizmo synthesizer. I remember when the Fizmo first came out I was completely transfixed by the keyboard at the local music shop. And now thanks to Puremagnetik you can have a virtual one inside of Ableton Live. Now I must admit I actually let my subscription to Puremagnetik lapse after being unimpressed with a couple of packs in a row, but Waveframe has redeemed them in my eyes and I'll be picking this one up for sure, for sure (so much for saving my pennies.)
Waveframe is an advanced wavetable synth based on Ensoniq's unique Fizmo instrument. Utilizing the same "Transwave" concept, Waveframe contains a collection of pre-programmed patches, over 30 waveform devices and over 1700 sample "frames". Waveform frames can be modulated via retriggering within a patch. This gives a natural sounding progression over time as each spectrum of a waveform evolves through its phases.
By employing features only available within the Ableton Live environment, Puremagnetik has reconstructed the Fizmo architecture from scratch. From over 30 unique waveform groups, a generous selection of presets have been programmed that employ many of the same features as the original Fizmo. And just like on the original, each voice group is highly individualized giving patches a complex, evolving and rich tone.
For Sound Designers & Programmers
Waveframe is a great tool for sound designers and synthesizer programmers. The huge library of simple waveforms can be used to construct complex soundscapes and instruments. Two and four-voice templates are included in the library as standalone Live Racks. Simply open the templates in a new track and drag your waveforms from the Waveframe Library into the voice chain. Then add effects and modulations to tailor your sound.
Waveframe Features:
• Over 1700 waveform samples
• Over 30 waveform rack devices
• A selection of preset pads, leads, basses & more
• Tightly integrated native Ableton effects & controls
• Easy hotswapping between waveform devices
Pick up Waveframe along with Microtron Tape 2 for the low subscriber's price of $5.75!
