The LM•4 VST Instrument delivers an accuracy and power can be all the drum machines you ever wanted.

Whether you use MIDI notes to trigger samples or MIDI Clock to drive a Drum machine, its timing is potentially 40 times better than any MIDI controlled device. LM•4 is a virtual instrument Plug-In that appears on the computer screen, you seem to be sending MIDI events to it, and its audio outputs are routed directly into the VST host's internal audio mixer, ready for adding EQ and effects. There are no messy MIDI or audio cables.

LM•4 comes with 20 sound sets of stunning quality, each containing at least 18 drum sounds. You can also build your own kits from any standard 16- or 24-bit AIFF or WAVE files even with velocity layers. Ten of these, produced by the well known (:wizoo:) sound designers bring 24-bit sound quality even to 16-bit applications.

LM•4 has both stereo and 4 individual outputs. Each drum pad is polyphonic for a natural sound that doesn't cut off when re-triggered. LM•4 allows all its tunings and levels to be automated and saved within the host application's song.

You can run up to eight LM•4s on the same machine (depending on RAM and CPU), providing a host of creative options - one could be laying down a solid backbeat while another sprinkled congas, maracas and extra percussion over the top to make the rhythm jump a little more, then you could throw in some syncopated handclaps. . .

LM•4 is like having every cool drum machine on the planet, but with timing accuracy even the best of today's beat boxes would have difficulty matching.

Features

• Drum module with 18 pads per set
• Up to 128 velocity zones per pad, e.g. 128 sounds per pad!
• 20 Drum sets included; featuring ten 24-bit high-class sets

• Velocity, pitch and panning for each instrument; even automatable
• Ability to create your own sets
• Up to 8 units can work at the same time (depending on CPU and RAM rescources)
• The complete drum module and all settings can be saved with the song (Cubase VST)

The Emagic Synth Collection includes three multiple award-winning software synthesizers in one premium package. With this exclusive offer, the user gets the ES2, the EVOC20 and the ES1 for a special price.

With the brilliant and powerful sounding ES2, a very special instrument is available to Logic users. Drawing from the past to redefine the future, its extraordinary synthesis engine delivers exceptional tonal quality in all registers and a complex voice architecture provides extensive sonic possibilities. Its ergonomic user interface and sheer power will inspire new creative heights. Able to combine the full-bodied energy of analog systems with the shimmering detail of glistening digital tone generation, the ES2 owes its enormous sonic wealth to an unsurpassed palette of in-demand synthesis techniques.

The EVOC20 package provides Logic users with three powerful tools for sound design: A classic polyphonic vocoder with built-in synthesizer, a formant filter bank, and a pitch tracking vocoder. Each plug-in provides maximum flexibility and features pristine 32 Bit sound quality.

As a real synthesizer, the ES1 offers extremely flexible tone generation that puts the entire palette of analog sounds at your disposal: earth-shaking basses, rich pads and textures, screaming leads, ultra-sharp percussion and exotic effects

Emagic's TDM Collection combines three sought-after Emagic software products in one comprehensive package at a special price!

With Emagic's ProTools HD Extension for Logic Platinum Macintosh, together with the current Digidesign ProTools HD system, sampling rates up to 192 kHz can be reached! In addition, more tracks than ever before are supported and users can make full use of the increased I/O capacity of the PTHD system. Logic Platinum users also benefit from the new TDM II architecture through the most efficient use of the TDM time slots.

The Emagic System Bridge TDM is the ideal link between the DSP world of the TDM system and the computer's native CPU processing. The ESB TDM makes use of the previously unexploited resources of the computer by allowing native audio tracks, Logic and VST plug-ins and Audio Instruments to be routed into Logic's TDM mixer. In addition, the ESB TDM extends the functionality of the EXS24, making it the EXS24 TDM, which can be used directly in the Aux channels of Logic Audio Platinum's TDM mixer.

The third product in the package is the HostTDM Enabler. It allows the user to insert the Emagic software instruments ES1, ES2, EVP88, EVB3 and EVD6 - available separately - into aux channels of the TDM mixer, even using TDM-compatible hosts other than Logic Platinum. While the software instruments are calculated on the computer's CPU, their audio signals can be further processed directly with any of the TDM plug-ins.

The use of the TDM Collection requires an installed copy of Logic Platinum 5.5 (or higher) for Mac OS 9, apart from the Host TDM Enabler, which can also be used with other TDM-compatible host software.
