TempoRubato是n日志合成器,其中的第一个高品质的性能合成器为iPhone平台开发。最近,他们还更新了其产品线n日志的 MIDI合成器(之间的第一个IOS合成器支持外部MIDI 控制)和NLogSynth PRO为iPad。

我立刻倒在爱与n日志合成器,当它首次被释放,无论是其出色的音质和高度的可编程性。 (原n日志现在被称为n日志免费合成器,合成器,不仅是一个伟大的交易 - 它是免费的 - 但也是一个很好的平台上开始学习模拟合成的奥秘。)

现在TempoRubato是为OS X发布其第一个产品,叫NLogPoly合成器和音频两个独立的单元版本, 。让我们一看,看看它是如何的措施其IOS前任。

第一印象

当你第一次推出NLogPoly合成器 ,你会看到一个与它上面的补丁插槽的键盘,和上面的控制,让您修改内置的声音,或从头开始创建你自己的。一切都发生在这一个窗口,单击窗口顶部的边缘沿的按钮选择窗口内的不同功能。该方案附带192内置的声音,可以起到与Mac的内置键盘,与外部的MIDI控制器,​​或与QWERTY键盘。要加载这些声音,你选择一个键盘上方的补丁插槽,在窗口上方单击“加载”按钮,打开银行的窗口,选择银行,选择在每家银行的三页之一,并点击一个修补程序来加载它:


这些声音是优秀的 - 丰富,功能强大,比较好softsynths成本许多倍的虚拟模拟的声音。而我们,有多少是NLogPoly合成器? - 通过,这是一个杰出的价格为Mac应用程序,听起来那么好,并提供诸如可编程的Mac App Store的24.99美元。一旦你购买了,你再得到一个链接,下载合成的音频单元的版本,这将运行在任何标准的非盟主机。你需要有独立的应用程序安装到运行非盟的,但是。


里面有什么

NLogPoly Synth的是,像其他n日志合成器,一个固定架构的模拟合成器结构的基础上的 - 也就是说,不像您在其中创建通过跳线连接的模块组合在一起的修补程序的完全模块化合成器,NLogPoly合成器设计更像是一个经典的穆格Minimoog,在那里你可以没有真正改变在该模块补丁的顺序。

但是这不应该被视为负债 - 有一个种类繁多的声音,你甚至可以创建这个固定的架构内。 NLogPoly合成器包括了四个补丁振荡器,两个过滤器,两个低频振荡器(低频振荡器),频率和前两个振荡器之间的环形调制,3包络发生器,延迟,混响和EQ影响,琶音,广泛调制的路由功能。并有一个进​​一步的性能控制分配的XY垫。

听好了

采取听取NLogPoly合成器为Mac创造了一些令人印象深刻的声音:

Furkett:

[音频ID =“6596”]

HiPass:

[音频ID =“6599”]

Implex:

[音频ID =“6595”]

Ruzzia:

[音频ID =“6600”]


长达步骤

现在,所有这些功能都包含在NLogSynth为iPad专业,但其中n日志聚去超越是可以播放8独立的声音在其自己的MIDI通道和自己的音频输出在一次,每个如果需要的话 - 说的什么那些补丁插槽键盘上方的 - 潜在的数百个同步的声音,这取决于你的处理器速度当然。

这些特性在99美元的申请将会是出色的,在一个

To enter this competition all you need to do is tell us "why you think NLogPoly Synth rocks" in a comment at the bottom of this article. That's it! (Only one comment per person is allowed).

Good Luck!
BScherman
Easily one of the best sounding synths for the price that I've ever heard. Rivals other soft synths I have that cost hundreds more.
sammydave
I love the driving sextuplet pulse of the Implex patch. Very nice!
Jazzy
WOW what an amazingly expansive soundscape, I love it. Thanks for the comp MPV!

Just one thing, it took a while to get my comment up, of course I just needed a forum alias(option on right after clicking "change/name")as well as my username.

Powerful sounds, and a great price! I've been using NLog PRO for iPad with my students. We just did a show that employed several of the built in sounds. Deep, fat, driving sounds. I can't wait to utilize the 8 channel feature in the NLogPoly Synth for Mac!

I'm a firm believer in making the most of what you've got - the Logic synths have always been more than enough for me, and there's still a lot of room for me to learn how to get the best out of them.

But the NLogPoly sounds awesome. it also looks awesome, and it looks fun to use. i bet its a very creative instrument.

$25 is also ridiculously cheap. Might just go check it out...

NLogPoly Synth rocks because it sounds great at a great price.
Mr. Jinx
The NLogPoly sounds like the bastard child of an Oberheim OBXa and a Roland Jupiter 8. What a steal at $24.99 USD!

Not sure how Rolf engineered those oscillators and filters to pump such fat squelchy basses, gorgeous bandpass sweeps, and sharp resonance frequencies...but thank the synth gods he did!

I own a dozen soft synths, some of which cost hundreds of dollars (are you listening, Native Instruments?). The depth and warmth of NLogPoly patches are remarkable at any price.

Did Christmas just arrive in May? Me want!

Lokey
The Demo sounds were quite delicious, might have to give it a try! 25 bucks? Yeah thats a no brainer!
kelvyn
Wow! The NLogPoly sounds awesome! But not in the "Wow! That pizza was awesome" way. But in the "Wow! The Big Bang was awesome" way.
I don't have a brain... Where do I send my money?

It's dead simple - NLog is the only way to go for an analog experience on your iPhone!
RM Music
NLog Synth is out standing. I can't wait to start using the great analog sounds !
adamjmusic
I love nLog b/c it's an amazing way to brainstorm soundscapes on my iphone and move them into logic!
Chris L
Instant purchase!
Bret
I think this will be a hit in the same way that the microKorg is. It's pleasing both to listen to as well as to use and look at. It's more accessible than other soft synths as the controls are basic and recognizable. The XY controls are especially fun.
THORNZ
NLog was the first synth for iPhone that actually felt like a proper soft synth and not some gimmicky app. There is solid programming behind this. Honestly, it's the only app with proper soft synth functionality.

Intua should really hire this guy...
Richy
Shimmering highs and pulsing lows. A must-have at a fantastic price.
AndrewDorsett
Fantastic App!
Lurch
NLog synth rocks old school synth style, but on new style technology! Can't wait to give it a try.
Pat Buckna
Nice retro display and cool sounds. Good price for a ton of functionality.
Lung
The NLogPoly rocks to counter the scissor. :)

The fact that it sounds pretty sumptuous doesn't hurt either though.
ChrisJ
I think it's great because It looks and sounds amazing!
