Morevox has announced the release of Drivedrums V2 Multidrive and Ultradimensions, two new libraries for WaveMachine Labs Drumagog 5.

With Drivedrums v2 MoReVoX introduces Multidrive. Taking advantage of the new Room Sounds feature in Drumagog 5, Drivedrums v2 uniquely substitutes the room sounds for three controlled distortion “colours” through the plugin mixer.

It works similarly to an equalizer, but these tone variations were created by splitting the original drum sounds into different frequency bands and then building brand new samples. These new variations were then carefully processed through a variety of distortions, using top-quality analog signal chains, with the aim of providing different distortion colours components that can be mixed with the base samples.

Drivedrums V2 features

• Total of 3,136 samples in 24Bit/44.1khz format.
• Includes 30 Kicks, 30 Snares, 8 Toms Racks, 30 Cymbals and more.
• Developed by generating distortion through different kind of devices: Vacuum tubes, analog tapes, preamps were used to create samples with light to aggressive and violent distortion.
• Each GOG file includes three macro tone controls: Fatness, Richness/Attack, and Top Definition.

Drivedrums V2 is available to purchase as a download for $129 USD and on DVD for $149 USD. An upgrade from V1 is $49 USD.

Ultradimensions is a library for the new Morph|Engine in Drumagog 5.

Developed by Wavemachinelabs and MoReVoX, Morph|Engine is an entirely new way to process drums within Drumagog 5. Morph|Engine is a dynamic morphing processor which shapes your drums in a way never heard before. Snare drums take on an organic “growl”, bass drums sound like they have liquid skins. Unlike traditional processing, Morph|Engine is fluid and dynamic, changing with the dynamics of every beat.

Ultradimensions features

• 150 Morphs with 8 variations each.
• Four main variations plus four “Extreme” versions of the main variations.
  • 1 (+extreme 2): Base Morph
  • 3 (+extreme 4): More Mid Freq / Analog Rich response
  • 5 (+extreme 6): Wider response
  • 7 (+extreme 8): More impact and low end response
• The Extreme variations are perfect to process dull sounds or simply obtain more extreme and aggressive morphed sounds.

Ultradimensions for Drumagog 5 is available to purchase for $99 USD.

WaveMachine Labs has released iGOG, a drum machine app for the Apple iPhone / iPod Touch.

iGOG uses WaveMachine Labs own patent-pending VelAUcity technology to accurately measure how hard the pads are hit and dynamically respond. iGOG’s drum sounds are based on Drumagog — it plays standard Drumagog files, providing up to 384 multisamples per drum. iGOG also features a mic trigger mode which works like Drumagog, allowing you to trigger drum sounds using the iPhone’s built-in mic. Just tap your desk and iGOG turns it into a drumkit.

iGOG for iPhone features

• VelAUcity – iGOG’s proprietary VelAUcity technology does the unthinkable and turns the iPhone’s screen into touch sensitive drum pads. Play loud, play soft, or play a full-blown crescendo on a crash cymbal, iGOG will capture every nuance of your performance. Just plug in your headphones and start playing. NOTE: VelAUcity is only available on iPhone devices. if you’re using an iPod Touch, VelAUcity is disabled.
• Multi Samples – iGOG uses Drumagog’s powerful playback engine to create life-like drum sounds. Each drum pad can contain up to several hundred samples, each recorded at various dynamic levels. Tap the snare pad gently and iGOG responds with a softly played snare.
• Sequencer – iGOG’s sequencer allows you to record midi sequences, which can be played back either within iGOG or exported to your computer. iGOG can also import standard midi files.
• File Management – iGOG features a Mixdown mode, which creates a .wav file of the sequence you’ve recorded. File Transfer allows you to move files back and forth from iGOG and your computer. iGOG allows you to record drum parts in perfect sync to an mp3 file.
• Mic Trigger Mode – In this mode, you can play drums simply by striking other objects (a table, your knee, etc.).
• Multi-Positional Pads – iGOG’s Multi-Positional Pads allow hi-hats and cymbals to shine. Alternate between open hats, closed hats, or even hit a semi-open hi-hat. Play the ride cymbal and work your way from the edge to the bell, iGOG will capture every nuance.
• Additional Kits – iGOG features a Kit Store which allows you to purchase additional kits.

iGOG is available for purchase from the iTunes App Store for $4.99 USD.
