Tau Bassline/M-Drive Freeware Bundle from Muon
 |
| M-Drive Plug-In |
Muon's Tau Bassline software is available free to visitors at the Muon Software website, before the end of August 2000. It closely models a certain famous silver monosynth, and has exactly the same sought-after "acid bass" sound as its inspiration.
The free Tau download bundle also includes the M-Drive, a VST overdrive unit, that can produce effects ranging from a subtle warming/compression, to full-on nuclear distortion. The M-Drive is the ideal partner for the Tau.
Tau Features/Specifications:
- VST2.0 format, usable in any compatible host
- One 64-bit oscillator with switchable waveform (sawtooth or square)
- 18 dB/octave resonant filter
- Single Attack/Decay envelope controlling both filter and amplifier envelope
- Monophonic
- Glide feature allows portamento between held notes, with variable glide time and envelope retrigger
- On-screen virtual keyboard
- Perfect for trance, house, and techno, not to mention acid
M-Drive Features/Specifications
- Simple, intuitive controls
- "Threshold" (which determines how much of the sound is
affected)
- "Clipshape" (the type of distortion, from smooth saturation to digital hard clip)
- Works in any VST effect plug-in host
The Tau Bassline/M-Drive bundle is directly available as a free download from the Muon website. No registration is required, although joining the mailing list is advised, so that users can hear about upgrades.
This software will no longer be available for free download after the end of August. For more information, visit their web site at www.muon-software.com. |
