Noxious!

 

Fantastic looking new Reason Rack Extension from Zvork called Noxious! An additive synthesis powerhouse with intuitive controls and great graphic displays to help sculpt your sound:

 

"Noxious is a polyphonic additive synthesizer. Additive synthesis consists of adding tens, hundreds or thousands of individual sinusoidal oscillators to create complex waveforms or sounds. In theory, additive synthesis is able to recreate any sound imaginable but is usually a challenge to manipulate.

Noxious takes an intermediate route to additive synthesis by offering a limited mean of manipulating these sinusoidal oscillators, called partials, through “modifiers” and classical filters."

 

 

Noxious is available now in the PropShop for $99 USD.

I love the look of Ochen K's new Rack Extension - Repeat RE. It's laid out in a logical fashion with a nod to the classic Electrix Repeater hardware sampler, and with the low price of $19 USD there's no reason not to pick it up today!

"Repeat is a 4-channel, real-time, live-looper that allows you to record, loop, mix, and arrange audio all in real time. Infinitely bounce and merge audio channels, route each channel through its own effects, and sync multiple Repeats together to expand the channel count."

RP•Verb Rack Extension!

Rob Papen released his RP•Verb effects device into the Reasonverse today! I had the pleasure of beta-testing this bad boy and let me tell you, it brings something extra special to the Reason Rack. Check it out:

"When it comes to a pristine, authentic reverb, it's the algorithm that counts. RP-Verb is the fruit of Rob Papen's decades-long study of reverb. With countless hours of exploring, testing, and tweaking by Rob himself and Jon Ayres, the result is exactly what you would expect: a stunning, musical reverb that brings unmatched dimension and fullness to your mixes. RP-Verb is "the Reverb" that you have waited years for to use in your Reason rack!"
