Announcing Noxious 1.5
We’re almost ready for the new release of Noxious, version 1.5. This will be a really major release with lots of improvements.
- True stereo width
- Waveform variations
- Standard serial or parallel filter mode with filter mix
- Vowel filter
- Random modulation sources reset at each note
- Major performance enhancements
Of course, all this comes with some new presets to demonstrate the new features.
Here is an audio peek of what it sounds like, especially the stereo width and some new presets. Done without special effects apart from the reverb and echo.
The good part is that performance improvements are so good that this song has been built on a humble Mac Mini with 16 instances of Noxious at no more than 50% of the CPU load.
Volt Pack
If you are planning to buy all three rack extensions of the Volt family, CB-1, SH-1 and SL-1, you might consider buying the Volt Pack bundle instead of each individual rack extension, at a lower price. The bundle includes full normal licences of the rack extension.
Availability
The Volt Pack is available exclusively for Propellerhead Reason 6.5 on all supported hardware platforms. It can be purchased and downloaded through the Propellerhead Shop.
Revamped Volt SL-1 with version 1.1
The Volt SL-1 has been greatly updated with version 1.1, taking into account user feedback:
- A greater number of sets with now up to 12 sets, with individual labels for each one,
- 15 controls per set,
- Individual gate inputs for finer set triggering,
- Individual gate outputs to sync set activation with other devices.
This version is fully compatible with version 1.0 accept for note lanes which must be rewritten as the note mapping has changed (see documentation). Upgrade is free for current owners of version 1.0
Volt SH-1 version 1.0.1
Version 1.0.1 of the Volt SH-1 is now available and free of charge for owners of version 1.0.0. It is a minor feature update corrects some minor glitches:
- The device name sticker is now visible when the SH-1 is combined.
- The filter does not show a slight “overshoot” anymore when resonance is set to 0. This is really nice if you want to create some smooth glissando effects. But beware with your current songs as this might slightly alter your filter behavior from version 1.0.0.
