Open Recent (documents) is now a sub-menu on Mac OS. The Preference dialog has been streamlined and updated. The max length of audio files you can edit in ReCycle is no longer limited to five minutes. You can now use the Q, W, E and R keys to select tools.
The Waveform now indicates graphically what sound will be played back, by dimming silent sections. Also, when importing audio files created in Record or Reason, the tempo information in those files is used for setting tempo and length in ReCycle. When exporting AIFF and Wave files, Record/Reason-style tempo information is now included in the file.
Some redundant controls have been removed and others added. Scrolling is smoother and you can now zoom in further. The main window has been graphically redesigned, including new zooming and scrolling. ReCycle 2.2 requires a Mac with an Intel processor.
ReCyle 2.2 is also a true Cocoa program under Mac OS and fully compatible with Mac OS X 10.7 Lion.
The program is now compatible with 64 bit operating systems.
Group effects.ReCycle 2.2 is a free update that brings is 64-bit compatibility, is Mac OS X Lion compatible, and has a new look and some workflow improvements.Destinations include envelope-times, loop-points in addition to traditional destinations. Powerful modulation system with the ability to modulate itself.Doubles as 32-step stepsequencer and wavetable LFO. Nunerous supported sample-playback modes.(max 16 mono AND 8 stereo-pairs per instance) Single-precision float math (32-bit) used elsewhere.Double-precision float math (64-bit) used where it matters (IIR-filters).Oversampling used when needed to prevent aliasing.RIFF wave-files (.wav) (8/16/24/32-bit & 32-bit float, mono/stereo at any sample rate).Extensive drag & drop support (onto the keyrange-view or the list-view).Streamlined user interface for fast editing at the sample-zone level.The selection even includes analog-style oscillators that you can mix with the sample. In addition to the regular lowpass/highpass/bandpass/notch & peak-filters and variations thereof there is an array of filter algorithms (not strictly filters in the traditional sense, but called so because of their location in the audio path) including distortion, parametric/graphic/morphing equalizers,bit-reduction/decimation, gating, limiting, slew-rate distortion, ring-modulation, frequency shifting and phase-modulation (better known as FM). But don’t take our word for it, download ‘shortcircuit free’ and find out for yourself.Įach voice in shortcircuit features two filter-slots, and the selection isn’t limited to the traditional pick. Shortcircuit was designed to sound great, all other concerns have been secondary. All filters & effects are calculated at the precision required for them to sound the way intended and oversampling are used when required to prevent aliasing. Sound quality is of highest concern, and shortcircuit uses very high-quality interpolation to ensure that your samples sound as good as the source material, regardless of the pitch you play them at.
Samples can be put in groups for multi-sampling and kit-building, but the complexity is only there when you need it Want to add a sample to your song? Just drag & drop the sample into shortcircuit and you’re ready to go. The sample hierarchy in shortcircuit allow you to place samples directly at the highest level of the multi, without having to deal with instrument hierarchies and patches. It has been a very high priority to make sure that adding and editing individual samples is as fast and logical as possible. It is intended for people who, like us, consider a sampler to be a musical instrument in its own right, and not just a way to emulate other instruments.
Shortcircuit was created as a reaction against the ongoing trend where software samplers are being designed with the primary intent of library playback.
