Lakeside Audio has announced the release of Isola Pro FX, an innovative audio plugin for separating audio input material into its components.
Unlike many other products using simple left and right channel subtraction or phase/invert filter methods, the underlying algorithm works in real time by using psychoacoustic analysis.
Another great advantage compared to state of the art products is the fact, that you can extract any feature from a mix you want in real time, so the tool is not restricted to vocals only but can even extract single instruments from an audio mix.
To achieve this, Isola Pro FX is using the MIDI input containing the corresponding notes of the vocals or instruments to be isolated.
Isola Pro FX reveals new capabilities to you in creative audio processing:
- Isolate vocals from songs where the original tracks have been lost and use them in new remixes.
- Extract instruments like fast guitar solos out of dense mixes to learn the single notes.
- Get the drum loops out of cool old songs and use them in new arrangements.
The full version of Isola Pro FX is available for 179 EUR and there is a 7-day rental version for 19 EUR. Isola Pro FX is available as a VST plugin for Windows and macOS.

based on the demos this still does not beat vtines mk1 imo
i find it interesting that rhodes, despite being so simple, yet so nuanced (specially taking different models into consideration), is so difficult to emulate correctly without sounding cheap. and even when taking only good emulations into consideration, i find it interesting how one can sound so much better/different than the next one.
idk, but to me when i think rhodes, i think warm 70s sounds. all these rhodes with such presence/attack/bite/another stage emu, sound so 80s to me, and are therefore such a completely different sound i’m hoping/expecting from a rhodes plugin.
