Richard Devine

"I met Professor Don Hassler at the Atlanta College of Art, he introduced me to a whole new world. He was teaching modular synthesis, computer synthesis, DSP processing, Max/MSP, SuperCollider and Pure Data"

"I use Kontakt quite a bit and use a lot of its internal libraries"

Richard Devine is listed on Future Audio Workshop's website as an artist who uses the Circle² synth plugin.

On UVI's website, Richard Devine's review is shown under the reviews section for Falcon 2. It reads: "Falcon is an incredible synthesis playground for sound design, which has a super-powerful voice architecture that is extremely versatile. The sonic results are stunning, and it has become part of my permanent arsenal here at the studio!"

"We recently used all of the Sound Toys Plug-ins for our latest sound effects libraries for Sony Media. The Electronic Music Manuscript: A Richard Devine Collection was the first library we created. I started out by recording lots of odd acoustic sounds. I had my good friend Josh Kay help me with the recording and editing. We recorded everything from hand made water phones, Tibetan singing bowls, Space phones, to a completely destroyed 1920 Kurtzman grand piano. All the acoustic sounds would then be processed with Echoboy or PhaseMistress. I like the animation of sound that is possible with PhaseMistress. The LFO, Envelope Follower, and Rhythm mode became essential as percussion modeling effects. You can completely crush drum sounds and get some really odd phase shifting sounding effects.

FilterFreak was also crucial to making a lot of the filter processing. The envelope followers “Mutron-esque”, and ADSR section is amazing. The fact that you can automate and run in Rhythm mode, animating both frequency controls with exact precision is brilliant. It locks to MIDI so well. It was so cool to experiment with alternating filter types that would sweep into each other in a sometimes random sample and hold configuration.

The second library we created was called simply “Pulse”. This was a sample collection of analogue modular systems old and new. It turned out to be really interesting, and we used Phase Mistress in the Moogerfooger 12 stage setting to get some rich warm textures over our analogue recorded sounds. It complemented the sounds so well, that I used it on almost every sample that I created."

"Absolutely stoked to have this now as a VST/AU instrument," says Richard Devine in this Facebook post.

"Loving VolumeShaper 4!"

Richard is seen using VolumeShaper 4 to apply a ducking curve in his Logic Pro X project.

"It was awesome when Reaktor 6 introduced the whole Reaktor Blocks idea of having this self-contained system that takes the analogue synth patching experiencing into Reaktor"

"I met Professor Don Hassler at the Atlanta College of Art, he introduced me to a whole new world. He was teaching modular synthesis, computer synthesis, DSP processing, Max/MSP, SuperCollider and Pure Data"

In an Instagram post, Richard Devine showcases the Flux Pure Analyzer Essential, highlighting its use in his sound design projects.

On January 16, 2015, Richard Devine posted on Facebook an image of 2C Audio's Kaleidoscope with this comment:

"@2CAudio Release "Kaleidoscope" is the ultimate sound-design tool and creative effects toy! Kaleidoscope is a massively parallel bank of physically modeled resonators that can be tuned completely arbitrarily with scientific precision and dynamically modulated over time by over two million points of automation. In simplistic terms, Kaleidoscope uses pictures to control sound!"

In this interview, Richard Devine lists Steinberg Nuendo as on of the many DAWs he uses. "I use Nuendo, Logic Pro, Ableton Live, and Pro Tools". Due to the date of the interview, it can be assumed that the version of Nuendo that Richard is using is version 6.

“Eventide products have been a part of my studio for nearly 15 years now. They have made some of the most sophisticated effects processors I have ever heard. I have used them on countless records and sound design projects. The sonic depth and quality of these machines is unreal.” Also, below, there is a Blackhole linked to his name.

In this interview, Richard says "Aether was one of the first 2CAudio products I used. I love the interface, it’s so easy to navigate and the quality of results is amazing. It’s great for dialing in a specific space really quickly. The browser window and super extensive library of presets make this a must have reverb for anyone."

How he uses it: "I like running pads, swooshes, rises and sound effects with Aether. The detail is good with it, that you could run almost anything through it and it will sound great."

Where he has used it: "I have used Aether on almost everything I have released. It’s been in almost every mix since I have gotten it. It’s so useful, and I have saved it into my logic templates so it always gets loaded up every time with my sessions. Like I said before it is mainly because the GUI is so well thought out. Everything you want to tweak is right there in front of you and the sound quality is so detailed."
