Musicrow tell us that their new
Magic Vox uses the beautiful sonic qualities of guitar harmonics
(flageolets), as a basis for the creation of a totally new playable
and expressive musical instrument, with a distinctive sound.
Twelve of the best sounding guitars were selected, say Musicrow, and the harmonics that each guitar produces were carefully sampled (See the
full list below). Each guitar brings its own harmonic character and
enables the creation of new different sounds. You can layer two guitar
sources jointly for hybrid sounds and richer evolving tones. The
advanced synthesis engine enables interesting sound sculpting options,
and the noise-shaper section brings the vintage analog scent when it
is needed.
Magic Vox expanded effects section is an integral part of the sound
design process. This section includes traditional effects such as
delay and reverb, along with special effects like the Granular and
Magic effects.
Also, Magic Vox has a multimode resonant filter section (Lowpass,
Bandpass, Highpass and Notch), two equalizers (one for each sound
source), and two VU meters for volume monitoring.
Musicrow say that Magic Vox can produce a wide range of sounds: from fantastic velvet
keyboards to sweet distorted leads, organs and fender-rhodes style
sounds, strange mallets, exotic string instruments, and many other
innovative beautiful tones that doesn't have a name yet- everything
with a delicate touch of magic…
