NuEdge Development has now released Sonic Charge µTonic for
Mac OS X. The Windows version was released in December of last year.
Sonic Charge µTonic (or MicroTonic) is a VST plug-in featuring a
combination of a percussion synthesizer and a pattern based
drum-machine sequencer, designed to produce sounds ranging from
deep booming kicks to crispy hi-hats and distorted industrial noises to
high-end chirps and tweets.
Features include:
- Eight channel drum and percussion synthesizer. Fully automatable.
- Pattern based drum-machine engine, synchronized to the host sequencer.
- 100% synthetic sound, rendered in real-time. No samples.
- Versatile sound architecture allow for a wide variety of tweakable drums and effects.
- Powerful sound-shaping possibilities, including equalizing and distortion for each channel.
- Over-sampled oscillators
- Sample accurate triggering
- Extreme parameter ranges with virtually infinite resolutions. Works in any sample-rate.
- Straightforward and easy to use interface with context menus, popup hints etc.
- Cut, copy, paste, load and save programs, individual drum patches and patterns.
- Plenty of creative editing options, including randomizing functions etc.
- MIDI out support. Use the pattern engine to control other plug-ins.
- CPU efficient. Typically less than 5% CPU utilization for all eight channels on a 2.0GHz P4/G4.
- Comes bundled with a hefty chunk of factory sounds and patterns, free to use in productions.
The price for the µTonic is $69 (excl. VAT) and sales are handled online
through the Sonic Charge website. Registrations are cross-platform. If you
have already obtained a registration for the µTonic for Windows you do not
need to purchase an additional registration for the Mac version.
