Added a page for Reaktor stuff, so far just one ensemble, Loid’s Cousin, which is based on Lunetta concepts. The ensemble is also available from the Reaktor User Library.

The ensemble is made up of several individual “modules” that interact with each other. The separate modules are available in individual ensemble form as a download for supporters from my Patreon page.

Some things have been added to the LiveSPICE, Bidule stuff, and Samples pages.

I’ve also started a Patreon page. Without going into too much detail, the last couple of years have been pretty rough, and I could sure use the support. There are a few exclusive SFZ packs available there now, and I plan to do other things like that here & there.

Also note that the broken links on the Bidule page have been fixed. Sorry about that. 🙂

Obscure Audio Software: Michael Klingbeil’s SPEAR (Win/Mac) – Steemit

In this installment of Obscure Audio Software, we’ll be taking a look at a freeware program called SPEAR, an acronym for “Sinusoidal Partial Editing Analysis and Resynthesis”. In a nutshell, it allows you to view and edit a sound as a visual representation of its individual frequencies (partials), and then resynthesize the sound.

The latest edition of Obscure Audio Software:

Obscure Audio Software: Monocasual Laboratories Giada (free, cross-platform loop machine) – Steemit

In this edition of Obscure Audio Software, we’ll be taking a look at a free and open-source loop machine called Giada that is available for Windows, Mac, and Linux called Giada. The developers call it “your hardcore loop machine” and describe it as “a free, minimal, hardcore audio tool for DJs, live performers and electronic musicians”.

Another installment of Obscure Audio Software:

Obscure Audio Software: Xenakios Hourglass (freeware granular audio processor for Windows) – Steemit

In this installment of Obscure Audio Software, we step away from the modular stuff to examine Hourglass, a fun (and free) granular audio processor. This is a standalone-only program, though it can load VST plugins. Main screen with a VST automation envelope visible Hourglass is more of a single-purpose type of program than the things I’ve previously covered here.

I’ve decided to start writing a series of articles about obscure audio software on Steemit, first up is Bidule.

Obscure Audio Software: Plogue Bidule – Steemit

This will be an ongoing series of articles, though I’m thinking it might only be every other week or so, since there’s only so many obscure bits of audio software out there worth talking about, and in the case of things I may not be familiar with, I want to have some time to get into it.
