Miika Kuisma - One Step Behind the Mankind (Nervous Testpilot Remix)

Just a quick one to say that this remix by me of top Finnish dude Mr Kuisma is out now on Beatport. I might possibly get a chance to meet the man himself while I'm on holiday in Singapore, which will be awesome! I'll keep you posted.

Here is a link to said tune at Beatport.

DMS Dimension

A trance VST ROMpler by the name of DMS Dimension that I co-developed with Dancemidisamples has just been released!

Here's the blurb:

If you're a professional producer, or you've ever worked with one, you'll know that a lot of time in the studio is spent layering up synth sounds to create big, powerful tones. To save time, over the years, we've built up a library of huge layered sounds to take the hassle out of this process, and now we're going to share it with you...


DMS Dimension is a VST instrument which gives you instant access to our professional quality 1.2 GB ROM library full of soaring trance leads synths, fat trance basses, insane trance FX, bright synth pianos and lush trance pads.

Our aim is to give you a comprehensive toolkit of tones which can slot into any trance or progressive tune. That's why we've stuck to clean, powerful multi-layered sounds for every single one of the 128 presets. We'd be more than happy to use any of these sounds in a track ourselves: there's no filler whatsoever. Check out the demos above if you don't believe us: every single sound comes from Dimension (apart from the drums, of course!).

Dimension has a simple, fast architecture: amplitude and filter envelopes, a chunky lowpass filter, a delay unit and a reverb unit. Each patch uses two multisamples which are layered together: you can adjust the balance of these if you want. That's it: there's no faff; just instant, usable sounds which can be tweaked so they fit perfectly with the rest of your mix.

All of the individual tones used by Dimension are stored in the popular SF2 (SoundFont) format, which can be used with most VST sampler plug-ins. If you love the sounds, but want to do your own sound design using your own software, feel free to use the samples!

Professional sounds, perfect usability and a vast sample library for just £49.99
US $78.92: you've got to pick this plugin up today.

Working on this was great - I built it entirely in Synthedit and sound creation duties were handled by the mighty K Complex. Check it out!

Hiatus

A couple of things I was doing (and mentioned previously) got cancelled, and now I am pretty entrenched working on the Frozen Synapse soundtrack. Hopefully I will get time to mix Wonderful Information for Subtraxx soon so that they can get that out.

The ASTONISHING Dreamtrak remix of that track should be available soon as well.

Hopefully I'll be able to get my live set completed in between Synapse work and get out and gigging again. I will let you know.

I have a Facebook fan thing now if you would like to network socially with my face. Do this.
