Kunnen we hier anders een algemeen Novation Sound Collective topic van maken? ^^ Altijd handig om een Chord Tool VST te hebben en er makkelijk akkoorden mee te kunnen vinden die harmonieus lekker bij elkaar passen, het nieuwste aanbod is FrozenPlain's Obelisk van 25 dollar voor 0 dollar:

Obelisk is a VST/AU plug-in that turns monophonic MIDI sequences into key/scale-constrained chord progressions, based on your specifications, for routing to synths and samplers in the host DAW, and MIDI-compatible hardware instruments outside it. Select the harmonic intervals you want to have automatically stacked above and/or below the incoming notes from an extensive menu – Minor 7[SUP]th[/SUP], Fourth, Tritone, Octave, etc, ranging up to two octaves either side of the triggering note – or load one of a variety of preset chords. Then set a key and scale from a similarly comprehensive roster – Major, Minor, Harmonic Minor, Blues, Arabic, Major Pentatonic, Minor Pentatonic, etc – to constrain the chords to that tonal base. An intelligent algorithm guides the constraining, which is applied after the chord is generated, shifting the added notes to keep them in key. Your own custom chord shapes and scales can be saved and recalled, and for compositional flexibility, you can house up to four different setups in a single instance of Obelisk, enabling on-the-fly keyswitching between chords and scales as your track progresses.
The last played chord name is displayed at the top of the interface, too, giving the plug-in a secondary role as a handy analyser for manually played chords. All in all, Obelisk is an incredibly useful MIDI tool that will not only prove invaluable in bringing depth and musicality to your tracks, but is sure to improve your understanding of harmony in the process.
Nou heb ik zelf al Xfer Ctulhu als vergelijkbare Chord tool, maar wie weet voegt het nog wat toe.
Tevens kun je korting krijgen op FrozenPlain's Wraith synthesizer, vooral leuk als je van Pads, Drones en Soundscapes houdt:
And what better partner to Obelisk than FrozenPlain’s own Wraith synthesiser plug-in, which, as a Sound Collective member, you can buy for $39, representing 30% off the full $59 price? Built for darkly cinematic sound design, Wraith lets you create spectrally rich pads, drones and textures via three independent layers, each drawing on a library of 230 sonically diverse samples and featuring its own filtering, modulation, EQ and looping controls, and all feeding into a bank of global effects including Distortion, Chorus, Delay and Convolution reverb.
Have fun ermee allemaal!
Ik heb een Novation midi-keyboard, misschien telt dat ook wel mee.
