January 7, 2002French session
musician/programmer/technology guru Celmar Engel recently embraced the
CreamWare Pulsar/Scope system. He developed for Celmo a wide range of
plug-ins for the platform.
His latest release, the Supreme, is an analog modeling synth, which
emphasizes expressiveness and musicality, with its dynamic
feeling. Among other features, it exhibits very fast envelopes for
highly percussive sounds, 12 and 24 dB/octave filters, 3 oscillators per
voice, a well featured modulation matrix, a SubBass booster, and 2
auxiliary inputs.
Furthermore, the effects section offers a proprietary environmental
processing, the Space Generator, a very special combination of reverb
and a simulation of the vintage Echorec rotary drum echo unit, also
found on other plug-ins from the same designer.
Celmo also released a wide range of quality and cost effective Pulsar
plug-ins recently. Of special interest : the Deep Blue, a fully featured
wavetable synthesizer, the Celmocoder, a 20 band very simple and
efficient vocoder, the Guitar Amp Modeller, a guitar cabinet amplifier
modeling processor, which offers among other choices, a 60' Tweed, a
Blackface, and the "wall of sound" sensation of stacked stage amps.
On the processors list, the Pultecator aims at serious audio
applications, with its high quality vintage filter modeling design, the
Monster EQ a special FX fully MIDI controllable four band Stereo
parametric Equalizer, with + 48 to - 48 dB range, and the Stereo
SubBoost.
On the multichannel shelf, Celmo offers the Outputizer, a
multidimensional space synthesizer, and the 5+1 SubBass X Tractor, a
Bass Management system designed for 5.1 mixing. Two modeled vintage
instruments are also available, the HammonQ, a drawbar organ, and the
Classical Wave Emulator, an evocation of the antique french Ondes
Martenot valve electronic instrument.
Most of the above synths and processors are available as demo versions
on Celmo's web site.
Free plug-ins and utilities are also downloadable, such as the Radio
Caroline Supa Fazz, a short wave radio phasing simulator, the Pulsar
Clock, a MIDI Tempo Display, Goofy, a Bass Synth, the Guitar BluesMan, a
lite version of the more featured Guitar Amp Modeller.
All the above plug-ins were designed, developed, and produced by Celmar
Engel.
The Supreme is now available for download at a price of US $80.00.
