everybody talks about the Grainer now, but in my opinion, the true Star of Tonverk’s first real Update is the Shape Machine. This thing finally allows us to shape our Sidechain Effect with razor sharp Precision. Literally never ever before was it so easy to customize that Effect with such great Control (except for maybe the FX Track on the Syntakt). Made a Video about this awesome Addition and dont wanna keep that from you:
In that Video you can see me trying out the various ways of how the Shape Machine can make a perfect Sidechain for us. Hope you guys like it!
And - as an addendum to the Video above, i also made a Video about why i think, that the Bus Compressor isnt necessarily the best Choice for the Sidechaining - and the Shape Machine is usually a better choice.
It’s similar to VolumeShaper on the PC or Pumphouse on the iPad. Which are tailor made Plugins for that Effect. I like it a lot. But i get that a lot of People also prefer the classic Sound of the Compressor. Depends on the type of Music i guess. Heavy Pumping isnt suitable for all genres, for sure
for 4 to the floor beats its great, but you can also set different time signatures with the pattern. So even on complex breakbeat music you can dial it in properly. just my two cents to add to this
