Audio Plugin Delas are offering 33% off Sample Logic’s Animation Station 2.0, available at the intro price of $99.99, increasing to $149.99 after the promotion. Version 1 users can upgrade for $25.00. The offer ends August 29th.
What’s new in version.2.0:
- ABCD patterns: now it is possible to switch between 4 patterns. There is right-click menu for copying, pasting and reseting patterns. There are 4 key switches that can be attached. When host plays, plugin switches patterns at the first beat of the next bar.
- Updated preset management to support ABCD presets as well as original 1-pattern presets. When a 1-pattern preset is picked, it is loaded into the currently active slot only; presets with several active patterns load into all slots and inactive slots are rewritten with default patterns. It is also possible to load a single pattern from any preset into the currently active slot by picking ABCD buttons at the right side of the preset name.
- Global settings (gate, velocity sensitivity, swing) exposed as plugin parameters which enables users to modulate them.
- Modulation system has been reworked with 2 modes: mod wheel does not edit sequence directly; instead, it is applied as modulation to stored values and visualized as semi-transparent fills on top of velocity/duration bars. Absolute mode ignores current values); Relative mode takes current step values as a mid-point.
- Transpose sliders are reworked – Now there are 2 edit modes: octave and chromatic. Modes can be switched in the right-click menu under slider presets, or with a left click on the transpose slider then holding shift key while sliding up/down.
- Extended stutter rates: added triplets – Reworked Latch filter to support notes compound. When new note is played, latch filter activates to 200ms timeframe to let other notes of a potentially played chord to be latched as well. Then latch filter closes and resets currently latched notes when new notes or a chord is played.
- Minor bug fixes and stability improvements.
- Included new 250 preset expansion pack “Breaking Borders” by Ben Aylon added.
