Martinic TG100 Reverb New

Classic early 1990s algorithmic digital reverb

Give your tracks the character of a classic early 90s MIDI module without routing audio through vintage hardware. TG100 Reverb takes the reverb sound from Martinic’s modeled TG100 and makes it available as a standalone effect for any source in your DAW.

Use it when a modern reverb feels too smooth, too large, or too anonymous. TG100 Reverb adds that compact digital color to vocals, guitars, drums, synths, and retro productions – the sound of the TG100 reverb, no longer limited to the TG100’s internal sounds.

TG100 Reverb gives you the complete reverb character of the original TG100 effect section in a focused plugin format. It includes 8 classic early 90s algorithms: Hall 1, Hall 2, Room 1, Room 2, Plate 1, Plate 2, Delay 1, and Delay 2.

The plugin keeps the workflow simple: choose a reverb type, set the send amount, adjust decay and level, then blend it with the dry/wet control. You can use it directly on a track or place it on a bus to give several sounds the same TG100 space.

The model includes the details that shaped the original sound, including early reflections, pre-delay, high-frequency damping, and the dedicated delay memory connected directly to the TG100’s LDSP reverb chip.

Resolume Avenue Updated

What’s new in Avenue 7.27?

Autopilot Transition Compensation
We are adding transition time compensation for the autopilot. With Compensate Transition enabled, Autopilot will trigger the next clip early enough for the transition to end exactly when the current clip ends. So instead of jumping to the start of the next clip and then transitioning, you get a much smoother overlap. This is a small addition but it makes autopilot transitions on non-looping content nice and smooooooth.

Play Modes in Alley
Audio and video playing in Alley used to always loop, this is sometimes annoying so now in the Alley menu you can set the play mode to play once or loop.

Control Attribute Params via OSC/MIDI/DMX/Keyboard
It was not possible to control Wire attribute input parameters via OSC, MIDI or DMX in Arena because they cause the whole patch to recompile. We have made this a lot more efficient so now this limitation is not there anymore.

A wide spread of creatures to explore

Load one up, click and drag on the XY pad, and the sounds are created by you in real time. It is far safer than trying to record wildlife yourself!

• 25 creatures and animals: Dragons, phoenixes, bears, buffalo & more
• New environments: Including rainforests, zoos and dog pounds

Epic Animal Sounds, from Domestic to Fantastic

The fantasy side is where it gets cool, with dragons you can make breathe fire, gorgons that hiss and spit, and much more. Big cats, wolves and bears are some of our less fantastical wildlife too. Then, there are also dogs and household animals and more for you to bring to oyur projects.

Even more immersive, wild environments

Add to this is a collection of environment beds, including of wind, water and forests to build your worlds around:

• Score a nature doc without trawling libraries for roars or jungles.
• Build a monster for a horror short out of a Gorgon and a slowed-down dog
• Give a mobile game a full cast of creatures in an afternoon
• Drop a dragon into a trailer and watch the room go quiet

. . . Or make daft animal noises at your desk, which is a perfectly good way to spend twenty minutes.
