If there ever was a need for folder tracks, this is it.

I spend a good hour trying to figure out a sneaky way of doing it so it looked nice using racks, drum racks, wacky routing etc... couldn't get it.

13ish visible channels shits me to just have one drum machine.

I don't have those plugins, but can't you do it in one drum rack, using external instrument plugins on the pads?

but then you can't use it's internal sequencer, which is half the fun.

or wait, can you? *runs off to try*

Using Dramazon's internal sequencer is the great thing about it...When you use it in Live create a midi clip and in Drumazons internal sequencer mode all you do is draw in a midi note at the beginning of each bar of whatever pattern you want it to play...It's great programming your own patterns and triggering in Live....Oh i love the shuffle on Drumazon aswell..just like the real thing...
All i use in my Live now is:

Drumazon x1

Phoscyon x 2

Sylenth

There's also a couple of other stuff from D16 im getting today and they sound great with Drumazon...

Check them out here...


http://www.d16.pl/images/devastor/devas ... sp-big.jpg

D16 proudly presents our first Fx Plugin from our "Silver Collection" - Devastor. Devastor is a simple but remarkable Multiband Distortion Unit. It is an enhanced version of the distortion unit from our synth Phoscyon. Being multiband, the sonic mangling capabilities are endless!

Structure

Devastor consists of three blocks: dynamic-gain module, diode-clipper distortion and three filter sections. Each of the filters can process the signal before or after the diode-clipper. The filters are not the peaking EQ type which are used in classic multiband distortion They are like those found in analogue synthesizers (low pass, high pass, band pass and band reject)- with adjustable resonance and cutoff. As a result, Devastor has a completely unique sound - just check out the Factory Presets.

Versatile and advanced

Devastor can used to distort and enhance a wide range of sounds - From full-on acid synth sounds to guitar fuzz or analogue amp with combo speaker. It can even be used with drums to make them sound more dirty and dynamic! Devastor isn't just good at creating distorted monster sounds. It can also be used subtlety to improve the timbre and character of more gentle sounds. Reducing the preamp gain, increasing the threshold and selecting a soft-knee for the dynamics will bring out more warmth and detail in a sound without introducing distortion.

When designing Devastor, we applied special antialiasing techniques to the output signal to make sure the signal had no aliasing (aliasing is one of the reasons why digital distortion units sound so cold and un-musical). As a result, Devastor has a warm, musical and very high quality sound.

To hear Devastor, we would like to invite You to listen our audio examples. You'll find many types - from distorted acid lines, through drum'n'bass loops, to electric pianos and organs. Devastor is so good that you may think that the sound has been sent from the computer to an external analogue distortion unit and back into the computer again!


http://www.d16.pl/images/fazortan/fazor ... sp-big.jpg

The story

Fazortan; the controlable space phaser has become another effect to offer as being a part of our 'Silver Collection'. No need to say we didnt cut much corners on quality and that robust, yearned by all - analog feel of the sound. Total control of the Phase shift parameter provides you with adjustability and allows to obtain the desired contour with high precision. Have you ever wondered where does that unique magical breeze so audible in most of Jean Michael Jarre's tunes come from. Suprisingly the backbone here isn't the synth itself but the effect unit coupled with the synthesizer, saying more precisely - analog phaser of which our Fazortan seems to be a fine equivalent. Thanks to the analog modelling technique we were able to implement allpass filters comprising characteristics identical to its analog counterpart based on Operational Transconductance Amplifiers.

Therefore You can think about Fazortan as of the exact copy of a retro phaser taken out from 70's and redone to become a virtual unit. But being the same sounding unit that provides primal functionality and sound of the original is where similarities end and where limitless scope of plugin comes to play. Bearing on mind only one Rate knob and a color switch on the front panel of the real phaser device, Fazortan from the first look at its GUI, presents itself as a completely new device that effectivelly expands capabilities of its origin.

Structure

Full control over two Lfo's (waveform, rate, depth and offset) is now available.Unlike in the hardware unit Fazortan's Lfo works in a various waveform mode: square, sinus, ascending saw, descending saw and random (i.e. only triangle is availbale in original).

By using both lfos simultaneously youre now able to obtain result that owners of the hardware box could only dream about. Endless countour diversity stretches results from monotonius sluggish swing to become a gurgling scrumble, just by a slight repositioning of the the rate knob. Aditionally it is now possible to add consecutive allpass stages as well as regulate the feedback effect. The ammount of stages translates on how many humps and pits residues in the converted sound spectrum while feedback parameter value implies severity of these irregularities. Feedback knob gives you sounds from soft to rapid and drilling. To visually display how it works consider a white noise as an input signal. Moving the feedback knob will start to morph incoming "sea waves" reminiscent noise into "windy" whizz. Aditionally each lfo can be modified by altering its respective phase giving as a result an improved panning of the incoming signal.

Who would like to use it?

The best way to judge Fazortan is to listen to it. youre welcome to our mp3 presentation. We made every effort to make sure Fazortan will fulfill all expectations one could have before buying an analog phaser unit. Especially guitarists and retro keyboard players may appreciate possibility to adjust it so it can emulate the rotary speaker, what along with its rich and lush sound, completes satisfactory every audio chain.

Of course given much more maneuverability it is a fine fx unit to be adapted regardless of genre.


cheers rob :wink:

Nope, doesn't work. It doesnt accept external midi :(

D16 suite (I like to call it)
is awesome
It takes getting use to (for me at least) on how to program from the internal sequencer on the Phosyon, the 808/909 kit was more familiar to me
but just 1 midi note to trigger off the patter so neat

kewl for noob like me

can't wait to ue this template

I am trying to make phoscyon control an external hardware (midi out from soundcard to midi in on external synth). They say it has midi out permanently, but I am not figuring out how to set this...does anyone have sucefully done it?
