Nemesis / Astral Moonlight for Nemesis by Touch The Universe
« Last post by Touch The Universe on March 17, 2023, 04:10:04 AM »

Hey Guys, I released a bank for Nemesis and I'd love to share the sounds with you.

Very cool synth, and looking forward to using these sounds for my next album.

Hi, does Warlock support sustain pedals? Is there any function to enable? With non of the sounds I can use sustain.

Dear Markus,
Recently I re-watched Your videos about Electra3 and Icarus 2.5. There's so much love You input into Your work. I just want to thank You one more time and apologize for my ignotance with "ideas".
Thank You for everything You do.  :)

NanoHost / Re: A VST itself ?
« Last post by sl23 on March 03, 2023, 10:29:30 PM »
This was one of my feature requests too. The ability to use NanoHost as a bridge for 32/64bit vst's as well as adding support for VST3 and maybe even CLAP format.

I realise this is a lot to ask from a free app, but for these extra features, you could have a pro version. What do you think?

Great idea! +1 :)

NanoHost / Re: NanoHost feature requests
« Last post by sl23 on March 03, 2023, 10:18:35 PM »
Is there any chance that VST3 support will be added?
I used Toby Bear's Mini Host for years but it's sooo out of date now. I'm glad you made Nano-host, hopefully it'll receive these updates sometime soon. I'd be willing to pay for this app, it's one of a kind and it's obviously useful to a lot of people!

Click here for a large view of the new interface: https://www.tone2.com/mypic/Tone2_Electra_3_screenshot_4K.jpg


New features - interface:

-    GUI with 16 different sizes (with and without editor / effects).
-    Native support for WQHD, 4K, 5K and 8K UHD displays.
-    GUI can be scaled from 50% up to 300% by clicking in the lower right corner.
-    Smoother animations and more responisve controls.
-    Support for hardware-acceleration.
-    Ultrasharp graphics with enhanced HiDpi and Retina Display support.
-    The SYNTH button flashes when a layer plays a note.This makes it easier to work with several arpeggiators.
-    Automatic detection of the ideal GUI size.
-    A check-mark shows the last loaded custom-waveform.
-    Online help with tutorial videos.


New features - synthesis:

-    118 additional patches that make use of the new features. The synth ships with 1439 patches now.
-    The 8Bit noise oscillator can create lo-fi fx sounds from the past.The sound can be changed with PW and the key.
-    Major and minor chords are available as additional key modes for the arpeggiator.
-    The new 'Transient shaper' adds punch and presence to the sounds. It can be accessed in the 'sound mode' selector.
-    The new 'Transient + Bass' mode adds presence and dynamic bass pressure to the sounds.
-    New analog pulse oscillator types : Pulse 1/2, Pulse 2/5, Pulse 1/3, Pulse 1/4, Pulse 1/5, Pulse 1/6, Pulse 1/8.
-    New analog oscillator types with inverted phase : Saw invert, Pulse invert.
-    New analog oscillator types : Impulse, Sine Flip, Comb 2, Comb 3.
-    New reverb-types : Cold, Theater and Hangar.
-    40 new waveforms for the custom-wave/wavetable oscillators.
-    New bipolar modulation source : "Step LFO/Envelope +-".
-    Monophonic LFOs that re-trigger only with the first pressed key (set the LFO mode to 'Mono').
-    Monophonic STEP LFOs (set the trigger mode to 'Mono loop').


Enhancements - synthesis:

-    The audio-engine now uses 64-bit precision instead of 32-bit, which results in a higher sound-quality.
-    CPU useage has been lowered.
-    Maximum Delay-time has been extended.
-    Enhanced sound of the automatic micro-tuning : A wide range of chords are detected.
-    Replaced 'Reverb Hall' with a better sounding algorithm.

-    More contrast for the knob-handles.
-    Reworked many graphics.
