Ever had the dreaded creative blank? Need to come up with an idea, like, YESTERDAY? Yep, us too. So our Frontline Producers got together round a table with notepads and a vat of coffee to see what we could do about it.
And after some table thumping and loosening of imaginary ties, we came up with: "ELECTRO: Mix Starters: a series of in house produced tools designed to kickstart your inspiration." ...so let’s run with this.

The latest from Tronsonic for Kontakt 5.1.0 (full version) is the Kork M500 micro preset synthesizer. Tronsonic tried to get it as close (both visually and audibly) as possible to the original late 70s preset synth (as used by OMD on many records), and also added a few extra features like polyphony, expression and a tape compression and damage effect. In order to maintain the purity of the waveforms,they chose not to sample to tape (hence the 'tape fx' section), but used valves and a chain of nearly 100 year old interstage transformers to capture the audio.
Transector is a transient design audio plugin, used to attenuate various transient qualities of an audio signal. Use it to boost the initial attack of various instruments, such as adding more crack to a snare or kick drum. Simultaneously, you can use Transector to alter the decaying portion of audio. This is useful in many situations, such as decreasing the decay of a vocal track, or reducing to amount of room ambiance in drum tracking.
Spire is a software polyphonic synthesizer that combines powerful sound engine modulation and flexible architecture, a graphical interface provides unparalleled usability. Spire is the embodiment of the best opportunities, both software and hardware synthesizers.
Tkapik is an amplitude controlled generative sampler plugin. Add it to a track, then load a sound file and Tkapik will trigger the sample with random settings every time an amplitude peak is detected in the input signal. The sample can either be mixed with the input according to its amplitude envelope or completely replace the signal using the “solo” mode.
Don’t get fooled by the minimalist interface : being sample-based, Tkapik opens a wide array of sonic possibilities. You can use it to simply layer a kick drum with some field recordings or in a more extreme way to replace a whole part by a chaos of random drills and glitches. When the sample is triggered, its start offset, loop points and optionally pitch are randomized, giving you surprising results every time.
TAL-BassLine-101 is a monophonic bass synthesizer with a classic analogue sound. The GUI is intuitive and easy to use. It produces the raw sound you know from analogue devices without any effects. BassLine has a very smooth and authentic analogue sounding 24dB zero feedback delay resonance low pass filter. Especially designed and calibrated for extreme settings. It sounds even smooth with a lot resonance and a high oscillator pitch. Details as envelope transitions between overlapping notes are carefully modeled. The oscillators do not use any samples. BassLine generates all wave-forms in real time.
The HoRNet AutoGain has been designed with a specific pourpose in mind: drastcally shorten the time it takes to create volume automations.
When finishing a mix usually you have some tracks that need some volume adjustment here an there, so you start writing volume automation, but this is a long and boring task...
