Man, what a week. I’ve got about 85 things going on, and am trying to plow through it all. I had to get several of my photographs in to a state where they could be displayed for First Friday tonight, which involved drives to Mesa, several trips downtown, and haunting the aisles of Michael’s looking for frames for some time. If you’re in Phoenix, they’re at the Just Breathe Gallery (and, not coincidentally, yoga studio. Every building in that area is Business XXX + Gallery, so it’s not as strange as it sounds.) That was a massive time suck, of course. I also had to go down to Chandler twice for things to do with our local Hackerspace, Heatsync Labs. This was a nerd-gasm of epic proportions, and the less said about it the better. But if you picture Phoenix as a person that is about 100 miles tall, we live around the eyebrows, and Chandler is that crust that grows on your feet if you spend too much time in a men’s locker room. Also too, somewhere in there I managed to get 90% of the UI make-over for Replicant 1.5 done. This is our first semi-major update to Replicant, and since this is our most popular product, we’re rather reticent to add or remove any features. It won’t be a huge make-over like the BS1-BS2 jump. The things I know it will have: 1. New UI. It will be losing its algae-colored knobfest and getting a UI that is in line with Axon and D3. The general layout will remain the same, though, so there will be no learning curve. 2. MIDI Note Trigger. We are making it so you can fire the events with MIDI notes instead of the sequencer, if you want.

PRESS RELEASE: SONiVOX, Boston MA, based award-winning music software company today offered a pre-release preview complete with MP3 and Video examples of the first instrument from their new NEMESYNTH Audio Research Group, VOCALIZER – Vocal Production Synthesizer. VOCALIZER is a completely new concept in modern music production that couples a new technology synthesis engine with an open input based architecture. VOCALIZER is one part effect plugin and one part virtual instrument. Vocalists, non-vocalists, & producers feed VOCALIZER any audio source, and it re-pitches, effects, and re-synthesizes the original source into a whole new sound. Primarily designed for vocal use, vocalists will enjoy the vast options afforded by VOCALIZER to add previously unattainable dimensions to their voice. Inversely, non-vocalists will enjoy the opportunity to use their voices in musical ways that they previously thought impossible. VOCALIZER also works well with other types of inputs. Drum & percussion tracks fed through VOCALIZER result in complex synth lines that perfectly sync to the original dry drum & percussion parts. Other input sounds afford a powerful and flexible new approach to sound design. VOCALIZER users can take any sound and use it as a shaping tool to be VOCALIZED. The VOCALIZER marks the first release from SONiVOX’s NEMESYNTH Audio Research Group. Spearheaded by noted audio guru and scientist Jim Van Buskirk, pioneer inventor of the virtual instrument, modern computer driven sampling, and real-time low-latency convolution, SONiVOX’s NEMESYNTH Audio Research Group’s sole purpose is to discover, research, & develop revolutionary new enabling technologies for musicians everywhere. VOCALIZER – Vocal Production Synthesizer is MAC & PC compatible and will work with most major DAW software as a VST, AU, and RTAS plugin. VOCALIZER – Vocal Production Synthesizer is slated for a release date of October 1st 2010 with a MSRP of $149.99 and an estimated street price of $99.99 SONiVOX claims that VOCALIZER must be heard to be believed and invites all to checkout the VOCALIZER videos and mp3 examples at www.sonivoxmi.com ——————————————————————————————————————- Information taken from official press release, for more visit Sonivox ——————————————————————————————————————- Submit a press release: email musicradar.pressreleases@futurenet.com Connect with MusicRadar: via Twitter , Facebook and YouTube Get MusicRadar straight to your inbox: Sign up for the free weekly newsletter Related Stories New music tech gear of the month: review round-up iPhone/iPad iOS music making app round-up: Week 6 Griid vs touchAble: iPad Ableton Live controllers head to head SampleRadar: 1,338 free female vocal samples Squarepusher announces new album

Have you iPhone/iPod Touch users checked out Sonnox iPhone app yet? It’s an interesting and alternative move from Sonnox to keep connected to the users. Inside the app you find news from the Sonnox Twitter feed, quick tips, a monthly contest and interviews with Sonnox users. Pretty much the same as you would get from visiting the website really. Still got to give Sonnox props for the effort. It will however be rendered completely useless if they for some reason don’t keep updating frequently, so hopefully that won’t happen. It’s free, so no harm in grabbing it and give it a go. Also be sure to check out Fab’s videos in the app. Sonnox app at Appstore
