		<description><![CDATA[ Propellerhead product specialist James Bernard has already showed you how to create a basic dubstep wobble bass sound - now he's back with some advanced wobble trickery. Specifically, in the third of his 52 tutorials, he'll show you how to use the Thor synth's step sequencer to control the LFO in a Combinator patch. For more Reason/Record tutorials, check out the Substance page of the Propellerhead website. ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[ Progress Audio has announced it has reduced the price for ShapeShifter , a multi-effects plug-in for Windows. ShapeShifter is a multi-effect VST plug-in which gives you a number of tools for changing your sounds, ranging from subtle effects through to extreme mangling of your audio. ShapeShifter features Waveshaper linked to a step sequencer, allowing you to create changes in tone that normal waveshapers can’t achieve. Resonant Filter including an LFO and step sequencer to control the cut-off frequency. Stereo Delay including step sequencers to vary the delay settings over time. Gate to create rhythmic changes in volume. Chorus &#038; Reverb to fill out sounds and add some polish. Compressor for controlling the dynamics of the audio. The signal path is configurable so that the effects can be ordered any way you like for maximum flexibility. ShapeShifter is available as a VST effect plug-in for Windows PC, now priced at $25 USD / 17 EUR / ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[It's going to be a busy Xmax period for MaxforLive users. Lots of new (and free) stuff in these days: Matthew Davidson, the polycreative gentleman known as Stretta , has released his monome suite of apps (be sure to check his blog often, he's also adding new apps almost on a daily basis!). I agree with him in seeing MaxforLive as a big improvement , compared to using the single apps under Max runtime and/or having to create complicated routing to/from our DAW: "..now with maxforlive, monome apps can be simpler and you can pipe together the functions you need. So, instead of on application being a clip launcher, floor wax and a desert topping, it can do _one_ thing, like a plug in, and the user can select which functions are needed for the task. It is a level of functionality granularity I think the hardware is well suited for. If the apps are simpler, then the need for function rows and pages is reduced (now shifted to Live) and the applications themselves become easier to adapt for all sizes of monomes". Novation has just released a beta version of Step SEQ, guess what, yes, a step sequencer to be used with their Launchpad controller. In their words: it's "a free Max For Live Patch that turns Launchpad into a fully fledged melodic step sequencer. Conceived as a cool but powerful sequencer to enable Launchpad users to programme melodies, leads and basslines quickly in Live, the buttons are configured diatonically (as opposed to chromatically, as with a traditional step sequencer). The degree of the scale and its tonal centre can be set by the user, meaning that, once set up, any note you trigger in your sequence will fit in harmonically with your track, making it really easy to keep within the context of the song. StepSeq is a MIDI effect that generates a sequence of notes, which can be used to play any instrument compatible with Ableton Live (including those from third-party developers). Once inserted, StepSeq communicates directly with Launchpad, transforming its 'User 2' mode into the interface for a step sequencer, so you can programme patterns quickly and simply on the fly, while retaining control over Live from the same control surface". The application can be downloaded from Novation's Support area . And this is just the tip of the iceberg. More stuff is already available, or it's going to be released soon. Check also these two community-based sites : max4live.info and maxforlive.com . ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[ This would normally be a generic picture of an overview of the Track View or something, but&#8230; come on. Let&#8217;s just look at a step sequencer. (Yes, it looks similar to FL Studio&#8217;s step sequencer. But you get a decidedly SONAR-like workflow, which feels nothing like Fruity Loops. Whether that&#8217;s good news depends on how you feel about FL and SONAR.) The tricky thing about introducing a new feature is that you almost immediately hear from users about other features that would go well with that feature. (There&#8217;s a children&#8217;s story that goes this way.) The folks at Cakewalk have done what I think is a pretty amazing job of working through a big feature list, and throwing in additional goodies users get without even asking. They&#8217;ve also listened to users and been thorough in fixing issues &#8211; some quite particular &#8211; in 8.5. The result is that SONAR 8.5.2 brings a mature version of some significantly-changed features, and an unusually significant amount of stuff for a &#8220;point&#8221; release. If 8.5 was beginning to feel like 9.0, 8.5.2 definitely does. Flash back for a moment to SONAR 8.5 and updates, which made enough of an impact among die-hard Cakewalk lovers that we started to see bizarre fan videos about it . As previewed back in September , 8.5&#8217;s banner features were a step sequencer, an arpeggiator, a Matrix View grid for triggering MIDI and audio clips (yes, reminiscent of a program that rhymes with Sable Bun Drive), a new sampled drum instrument, AudioSnap for tuning the timing of audio, and nice new effects strips. Matrix View, an ambitious new feature, was admittedly not entirely baked when it shipped, and saw a set of performance and functionality fixes with 8.5.1. But with 8.5.2, nearly all of those banner features get improved, with additional bonuses, to boot. Some of my favorites: 70+ new impulses for the lovely Perfect Space convolution reverb Swing individual arpeggiators Combine Matrix View cells with probabilistic Step Sequencer patterns for some generative music-making Drag cells from Matrix View into Track View &#8211; a bit like going from Ableton Live&#8217;s Session View to Arrange View, but in a more conventional DAW workflow The full list of enhancements, tweaks, and fixes is utterly enormous . Now, of course, it would have been nice to see 8.5 ship with some of these issues, but I will say Cakewalk has shown some attention to detail and gotten quite a lot right. I&#8217;m finishing up a review of 8.5x based on the 8.5.2 version now. So, as I polish that off &#8211; any remaining questions you&#8217;d like answered? Rather than just review the tool, as well, I&#8217;ve been working in my own material and with the folks at Cakewalk to share some tips, so stay tuned.
