It incorporates MAudio’s MX Core DSP technology that allows 16x8 configurations, allowing sophisticated channel routing options without loading down the computer. www.m-audio.com ■ BRAUNER PHANTHERA V MICROPHONE The Phanthera V offers the same qualities as its cardioid-only counterpart, focusing on sound quality and subtly highlighting the source material’s sonic character. In addition to cardioid directivity, the Phanthera V can also record in omni or bidirectional mode with a simple switch change, thus adapting it to different recording situations. www.braunerusa.com ■ TC ELECTRONIC TAP FACTORY DELAY/REVERB PLUG-IN Tap Factory ($449) for the PowerCore platform combines multi-tap delay effects with early reflection reverb effects, and can create unique effects (for example, a 3-band parametric EQ with a diffuser can simulate the sonic change that occurs when a tap hits a wooden wall). The plug-in offers nine seconds of delay time, three ways of working with tap tempo, and features a tap pad which can be used either for tapping the tempo or for tapping a specific rhythm into the plug-in. www.tcelectronic.com ■ NUSOFTING BROKEN DRUM MACHINE (BDM) BDM ($54.90) is a plugin instrument designed for the musicians who love chaos. BDM offers four drum pads in the style of an old beat box: Bass Drum, Snare, HiHat and Stick. Each pad features its own sliders for chaos and chance. Chaos sets the amount of variations to the original sound, and chance is the probability algorithm for the chaos to occur. www.nusofting.liqihsynth.com 14 EQ JUNE 2008 www.eqmag.com http://www.m-audio.com http://www.braunerusa.com http://www.tcelectronic.com http://www.nusofting.liqihsynth.com http://www.eqmag.com
