Subsonic Labs Wolfram
Subsonic Labs and Computer Music have released Wolfram CM, a powerful multieffect unit in VST plugin format for Windows and Mac. Wolfram CM – Super-powerful. Subsonic Labs Volfram v1.2.1-R2R. It's easy to disable all but the most basic functions in order to just use part of the power of Wolfram.
A message from The Director This is the device for you who aren't satisfied with the few options on your average plugin. You wish to take that extra step, to twist that extra knob in order to achieve instant sound processing gratification - Now you can.We took your average plugin, doubled the voltage, drilled (virtual) holes for essential buttons and rewired it beyond recognition. Smoking hot from our Subsonic Laboratories, it can be the subtle, ear tingling touch of Dr. Jekyll.But Volfram is equally capable being the frequency devastating abomination of Mr. Anno 1503 Vollversion Kostenlos Chip. All this with a light touch on the well polished user panel.
Get that vintage vibe with a modern twist - Delays, pitch shifting, distortion, chorusing, phasing, panning, filtering, cabinet emulation and all strange combinations in between. Do you need Volfram today?
Well, you will ask yourself why you didn't buy it yesterday!
Subsonic Labs' semimodular multieffects processor Wolfram (VST2/VST3/AU) is a testament to efficient GUI design, taking up just enough real estate to house all of its functions and not a pixel more. The compact layout is sensible, with the effects taking up the bulk of the allotted area, and LFOs, pattern generators and routing taking up the remaining third.
Presets are arranged by category and accessed at the bottom of the interface, and a switch enables A/B comparison. 'While the effects have plenty to offer, it's the modulation system that really brings Wolfram to life.' The effects section is divided into thirds, with the top and bottom partitions devoted to Manipulator effects. These include distortion, lo-fi pitchshift, vintage six-stage phaser and offset delays (useful for flanger, chorus and other effects).
The pitchshifting is particularly welcome, bringing a bit of old-school flavour to modern sounds, and the inclusion of high- and low-pass filters is a nice mix-positioning touch. As with all the effects modules in Wolfram, the controls on offer are minimal, but that seems tobe the point - it's all about focus and fast, intuitive sound-shaping. Next comes the Filter+Delay section. This starts with a multimode (low-pass, dual low-pass, high-pass, band-pass, notch) resonant filter, featuring adjustable cutoff frequency, Q and (for applicable modes) width.
Further delay comes next, this time of the more familiar echo variety. Again, there are a smattering of parameters to tweak, including feedback, delay time, mix and offset. We were very pleased to discover that all of the delay's parameters can be assigned to modulation sources, enabling us to perform some of our favourite delay tricks. See ya later, modulator While the effects have plenty to offer, it's the modulation system that really brings Wolfram to life.
You get a pair of bare-bones LFOs that can be tempo-synced, and an envelope follower, but it's the dual pattern generators that most impress. Each of these provides over 100 preset patterns from which to choose, with virtually every possible beat division accounted for. These more than make up for the anaemic LFOs, and, when used in tandem, can provide a bottomless well of churning, turning rhythmic options. Modulation sources are routed to their destinations via a small, efficient patchbay. Essentially a mini mod matrix with up to four simultaneous source/destination pairings, youcan assign any source (some of which arecombinations - LFO 1+2, for example) to almost any parameter from any module, with the exception of the Pattern Generators and the overall configuration of the modules within each group.
