XILS-lab has introduced a new effect plugin bundle inspired by the unique speakers used with the classic ondes Martenot, an early electronic musical instrument that is played with a keyboard or by moving a ring along a wire, creating “wavering” sounds similar to a theremin.
La Palme and Le Metallique aim to recreate the distinctive sounds of the palm-shaped resonance chamber laced with 12 strings or a gong cabinet, which adds a specific metallic character to the Ondes Martenot sound.
With the help of Nori Ubukata and Yves Usson we reproduced these classic speakers, La Palme and Le Metallique. In addition, more possibilities have been added, such as the ability to mute any string, global transposition and real-time change of the gong’s size.
We pushed the concept even further by offering a True Stereo engine, so that you could position the two units, left and right, in a stereo image. True Stereo doesn’t mean a simple panoramic tool, with our TSDE you can place a speaker in front of the stereo field or farther back: You master the Space!
Available for Windows and Mac (VST/VST3, AU and AAX), the plugin bundle is on sale for the intro price of 45 EUR until May 15th, 2024 (regular 89 EUR).
