AudiOutlaw MINI's FX

The AudiOutlaws have done it again, taking everything that was great about the NoisR FX suite and chopping it up into pieces so that you can use as many of the individual FX in your set as you wish…

Filter – a smooth, multi-mode filter that can be modulated by an on-board cycling ADSR Auto-

Gate – an ADSR-shapeable tremolo-like effect which can operate at creepingly slow or lightning fast speeds.

Overdrive – a beefy saturation module that includes an auto-ducking feature which adjusts the overdrive level in response to transients. The auto-ducking sounds great and really smooths out the distortion.

Flange – Standard flange effect with a wide range of tempo-synced speeds for soaring phase effects or wobbly chorus-style sounds.

Ring Modulator – A pseudo-ringmod that uses a short delay with high feedback to produce a pitched ringing effect along with your sound input.

Pitch Shift – A simple pitch shifter with a mix knob for harmonies, a reset button and a pitch knob.

Echo – standard echo effect with optional reverse mode. Can be synced to master rate

Reverb – A huge, lush reverb with hipass and lopass filters, and a freeze button for infinite reverb

If you can't give a home to all of them, then grab what you want, one device at a time (there's a deal for grabbing the lot of course!).....

WARNING: For a LIMITED period the MINI's are a part of the NoisR FX Suite!  

NOISR FX £19.99 including MINI's

MINI's £9.99 for the full set or £2.99 Each....!

Native Instruments releases video feature on Drake producer Noah '40' Shebib

Berlin, March 16, 2016 – Native Instruments today released a new video feature on Noah '40' Shebib – the Grammy-winning producer behind the sound of Drake's innovative productions. In the video, he talks about building his Toronto studio with workflow in mind, shares insights into his production techniques, and explains how MASCHINE and KOMPLETE KONTROL fit perfectly into his philosophy of delivering maximum artistic authenticity through simplicity.

40 has built a studio centered on direct creative output, creating a central hub for Toronto's producer community. Once artists and producers install the necessary software on their laptops, they gain access to the studio's full complement of equipment, including full MASCHINE and KOMPLETE KONTROL production systems, by connecting just one cable. The studio has also become the home for Toronto's new generation of producers including Nineteen85 (Hotline Bling) and Majid Jordan.

In the video, 40 explains how he uses MASCHINE and KOMPLETE KONTROL at every stage of production. When starting a project in MASCHINE, he creates basic harmonic and melodic elements of the track on a KOMPLETE KONTROL S-Series keyboard to a metronome. Once he's added a basic drum groove to this structure, he tests beats using different sounding drums by cycling through drum kits in the MASCHINE library directly from the hardware. He then tailors his sound directly from his MASCHINE hardware by recording automation from the wide range of the included effects in MASCHINE. 40 also uses the Drag and Drop feature in MASCHINE to record new sounds and drop them straight into an arrangement, adding a sonic signature that makes a record's close interesting for the listener.

Although 40 is known for creating the Drake sound, his expertise can also be heard on tracks from Beyonce, Lil Wayne, Alicia Keys, Action Bronson, and Jamie Foxx. A comprehensive playlist demonstrating his wide production credits is available on Spotify.
