Techno twizeakers rejoice- Live 8 is shipping. Being the lazy ass I am (it's very early), I have gone to the trouble of copy-and-pasting the new features I detailed in my previous NAMM report Live 8 post. - bigger, badder warp engine that lets you adjust warp markers live on-ye-fly. They did a pretty impressive demo where a vocal track got stretched ‘n’ squashed live before your eyes. - new Looper instrument that works just like the dedicated floorbox ones. - new Vocoder, Multiband Dynamics, Overdrive, Limiter and Frequency Shifter effects. - tons of sound library additions. - new “groove engine” that lets you easily extract feels and imbue them on other audio. - new “Collision and Corpus” a physical-modeling instrument for mallet percussion sounds (cue sound of Zappa fans rejoicing). - lots of new tricks for the “Operator” synth including improved mod routing and additive wavetable synthesis.
