AUXTURE – Unique exploratory sampler + sequencer
Platform: Standalone Mac and PC + Ableton M4L.
For more information visit: http://www.audiobulb.com/AUXTURE.htm
AUXTURE is a unique exploratory sampler and sequencer (AUX-Seq) which enables the user to manipulate and record single samples or entire folders of samples through gesture, randomness and modulation. Unexpected results are achieved via the audio exploration of single samples or entire folders through gestures, randomness and modulation. The software comes bundled with a ‘Slices’ folder containing 115 free to use samples.
AUXTURE processes your loaded samples across a myriad of random parameters. The results open up a unique portrayal of your sound.
When AUXTURE receives a note, it applies an exploratory set of processes resulting in unique outputs based on unexpected outcomes or happy accidents applied to your sample set.
It chooses a random sample from its memory according to a freely settable probability. It then plays it back with a rate proportional to the pitch.
Some parameters related to sample playback are directly settable, such as loop mode, pitch shift and detunes, while others are based on chance, such as choosing another sample or reverse playback.
A random delay of a few milliseconds allows a rapid and unpredictable timbre variation, while frequency and ring modulations alter the sample more heavily. For a subsequent smoothing of the sound and to ensure complete processing there are digital distortion, delay, a weird reverb and two second order filters.
Features: Multi-effect software module featuring:
▪ ADSR Envelope
▪ Timbric Delay
▪ Frequency Modulation
▪ Ring Modulation
▪ Redux Distortion
▪ Stereo Delay
▪ Weird reverb
▪ 2 x Second Order Filters with cut-off, resonance and gain controls
▪ Bandpass, Notch and Shelf Filters.
The default playback mode is looping the sample during sustain phase, it’s possible disabling this behaviour. It’s also possible to set a sample change and reverse playback probabilities.

Stochas is a revolutionary new type of step sequencer that has a unique randomization engine. Designed to work either in mono or polyphonic modes the engine will select from a set of user inputted notes and takes into consideration the probability set for each, this means Stochas can be used to create evolving melodies, rich sounding string and synth sections, unique bass lines and even chaotic yet looping drum patterns, perfect for live and recorded performances. Chord input and predefined scales, make editing and inputting patterns quick and easy, without any knowledge needed of music theory.
With the ability to create polyrhythmic and polymetric patterns up to 64 steps in length, independently on each of the 4 layers, Stochas can create interesting ideas for your next musical project, be it a Phillip Glass style classical piece with varying rhythmical and metric sequences playing against each other, to a polymeric dance style project that has more life and rhythm than the standard 4/4 patterns. Patterns can be chained and created so that little phrases can be triggered randomly during the playback sequence, this can also be used to prevent repetition of the same note if using Stochas to write a bass line or to keep the pattern evolving.
With the groove template editor, you have total control over the timing and feel of the playback in Stochas, these can also be saved and loaded into other sessions, allowing you to recreate the same feel from track to track easily. MIDI input control means that you can use any hardware controller or another MIDI channel to control Stochas, allowing for live performance control of the polymeric lengths, transpositions, the bias of the maximum number of notes played.

Boing Boing makes my old tube amp when I move it or when I wildly unplug my jack! Well now, you just have to move your favorite DAW to hear the evil melody of the wiggling spring. It’s vintage and It’s very warm. All the sounds come from impulse responses grappled on the web. They’ve been cleaned up and I’ve been working on a convolution reverb algorithm optimized with small onions (french expression to said fine tuning).

Auto volume scaling
Measures volume in real-time and adjusts the volume of samples that need to be connected.
Convincing Room Tails—release samples will be adjusted to ensure they fit in any situation.
Fluid Legato—Auto Volume Scaling avoids legato transitions sticking out.
Download a la carte
Choose only the instruments and mic positions that you currently need—no need to download the entire collection at once. SINE allows you to download just a single instrument from a collection, or even a single mic position from a single instrument.
Single instruments
SINE introduces the ability to purchase single instruments within collections.
Need some strings but really like the sound of Metropolis Ark 1’s “Finckenstein High Strings”? Then purchase only this instrument—no need to buy the whole collection.
Mic merging
Create a custom mix of the different mic positions, merge your mix into a single stereo channel, and then export your mix: Multiple mic positions for the footprint of a single one.
Articulation list
Auto creates keyswitches—select and load the articulations of your choice and SINE creates keyswitches for you on the fly.
Batch remap—adapts all articulations to individual MIDI channels, keyswitches, or program changes.
Customize your articulations
Round Robin Management: Helps you create natural-sounding note repetitions.
Extensive Dynamic Management: Take advantage of SINE’s dynamic tools, e.g. by adjusting the volume range or the dynamic layers used.
Intelligent Envelope: Shape the attack and release of your articulation, making them appear whispering soft or giving them a dry room feel.

“Orchestral Tools’ free SINE platform functions as a player, an instrument store and a downloader in one package. Users can purchase individual instruments and parts they require from within SINE, as opposed to purchasing an entire library for just a couple of sounds. The platform is designed with composition and scoring at the forefront, offering management of multiple instruments and articulations easily. CPU load can be reduced with features like mic-merging, maximising efficiency when working with a large project.” — MusicTech
“A player that gives Kontakt a run for its money” — MusicRadar
Of course you’ll also find the standard features that every synth supports, but I don’t want to list them here, that’s just too much 
Right now there are only a few presets, I’m not good in programming this and I don’t want to waste my time with stuff, that every musician can do. Hopefully someone else makes a nice bank and I can include it in an update, but right now I haven’t this person
