Not just Another Emulation Reviver creates harmonic distortion, a sound which is often connected to vintage gear. It does not emulate analog equipment, but instead gives the user full control of overtone generation and volume. Despite this high level of controllability, Reviver's user interface is intuitive and provides the desired result after just a few mouse clicks.

Buy Reviver You can buy Reviver online in our shop or via PayPal for just $29. Second-Order Harmonics Second order harmonic overtones play an important role in the sonic coloration that tube amplifiers add to audio. The sound produced by tubes is often perceived as "warm" and "smooth". Using Reviver it is possible to add second order harmonics to your sound in a very precise way.

Third-Order Harmonics Third order harmonic overtones change a sound more aggressively, with the effect often referred to as "punch", "fatness", or "detail". These overtones are also created by tape and overdriven solid state amplifiers. With Reviver you have exact control over third-order harmonic generation to give your sound that extra lift.

Anti-Alias Filter A general problem of digital distortion plug-ins is that instead of only generating the desired harmonic overtones, they also create aliasing artifacts, i.e. overtones which are in disharmony with the original signal. Aliasing is an exclusively digital problem that does not appear in analog signal processing. Reviver is completely free of aliasing in audible frequencies.

Serial Mode In serial mode Reviver first adds second order harmonics to the signal before adding third order harmonics. The result is a different harmonic content and stronger saturation.

ADSR Sample Manager is an essential tool for producers and sound designers - and it's totally free!

I heard about it via a Youtube Recommended video, and at first I thought this was too good o be true! As soon as I registered, downloaded and installed my copy of ADSR Sample Manager, I was amazed by the user interface and the speed of analysis, so I began to fiddle with it immediately. After a few moments, I had all my sample library folder indexed and after a few minutes, fully analyzed. I was amazed to witness the key finding feature of the current version (the video I watched was referring to the previous version, without key analysis). The tagging is pretty smart, with a plethora of tags ready to go - being able to add my own tags is the cherry on top! It feels great to have both Standalone and VST versions. I have yet to test the library export - import function, since after formatting a PC (which is quite common in Windows machines), having to retag all of my library would be deterring, although I get the feeling I will not be dissapointed in that matter. I absolutely love the bug report / suggestion mail link, instead of pointing the users to a forum - many times making a post and hoping that it catches the development team's attention feels a little vain.

Unless you have been living under a rock, ADSR Sample Manager is the best way to keep your sample library neat and organized, ready to go at the tip of your fingers!

Unlocking the power of precise sidechaining for perfect mixes

In this video tutorial, Joshua Casper will show you the true power of sidechaining with Duck by Devious Machines.

Duck is a dynamics processor with a volume envelope shaper that can be used as an LFO or it can be triggered by external sources; both audio and MIDI.

Among the many great features of Duck, Joshua demonstrates the Trigger filtering and amount system to make sure on the precise parts of the trigger audio is triggering the volume shaper and the multiband functionality to make sure only the right frequency range is being effect and to the right degree.

This tutorial focuses specifically on mixing the bass and kick drum, but surely you can just imagine the possibilities Duck brings to the table for mixing your music and even being creative!

This plugin is truly something special. Easily make precise and surgical sidechaining for the perfect mix!
