MEET YOUR NEW BASS PLAYER
We are proud to introduce the market’s first bass software of its kind. One that goes above and beyond a traditional sample library to deliver not only pristine sound but also fundamental features that effortlessly let you to add bass to your songs.

TWO BASSES.
Two carefully sampled bass guitars
– one vintage and one modern.

SONGWRITING.
Arrange, compose, change and rearrange – without leaving the software.

MIDI.
Comes with bass MIDI for a broad
range of styles.

A BASS PLAYER.
Use drum or keyboard MIDI and have EZbass automatically create matching basslines.

GRID EDITOR.
Alter the performance or the subtler details of the MIDI using the built-in ‘Grid Editor.’

AUDIO TRACKER.
Audio to MIDI conversion based on the same technology found in Superior Drummer 3.

RELEASE NOTES FOR EZBASS 1.0.9
EZbass 1.0.9 is now available to download using the Product Manager or from the “My Products” area in your Toontrack account. Please note that version 1.0.9 is required for the support of EZbass products released from this point forward (Q2 2021).
CHANGES

Bass Tab
Clicking a note and dragging along the string now generates a slide.

BUG FIXES
General
The master volume was erroneously reset when certain factory presets in EZbass expansions were loaded.
The master volume was erroneously stored in and read from user presets. It is now only saved in project save files.

Sound Engine
Playing the bass while sounds were loading could sometimes result in too loud samples being played.
Some MIDI sequences could sometimes leave a note ringing, eventually causing EZbass to freeze and/or crash. Bouncing would sometimes crash due to this bug.
Slides played with the Slide Down and Slide Up keys (F0 and G0) could sometimes be interrupted by other MIDI events and not terminate properly, resulting in a bad slide.
The time limit to play a grace note on a MIDI controller is now 40 ms instead of 30 ms, making them a bit easier to trigger.
Improved the slide scratch algorithm.

Bass Tab
A slide up the bass stopped the string animation instead of making it follow the slide.

Grid Editor
If a grace note was selected, the grace note options in the articulations menu were incorrectly grayed out.

Song Track
Cutting a MIDI block in the middle of a slide would leave the slide property on the note and that could lead to a crash in the grid editor.

Edit Play Style
After changing only Damping (and not Amount) on a song block, saving and loading the project would remove all notes from the song block.

6.2.1 – 2021-05-05
FIXED Phasis did not sound correct
KNOWN ISSUE Windows 10 VST/AAX only: HiDPI scaling does not work correctly which results in lower resolution graphics
KNOWN ISSUE Windows 10 standalone only: When using multiple screens with scaling of 150% or more the GUI may be drawn incorrectly or not at all
KNOWN ISSUE Dragging from a HiDPI screen to a non-HiDPI screen can result in lower quality graphics. Closing/reopening GUI on the same screen will fix this

Tested, working on maOS Catalina & Big Sur

The Lounge Lizard EP-4 plug-in delivers authentic vintage electric piano sounds in an everything-you-need package.

Library
Over 240 inspiring presets covering the classic electric piano sounds popularized by legends, custom electric pianos, classic track sounds, and wild experimentation. The factory library covers about every electric piano need and more.

Performance
Direct access to key effect and piano parameters to perfectly match the tone to your performance. Play your piano through different cabinet, pre-amp, microphone, and recorder signal paths typically used with electric pianos.

Edition
Hammer, tone, tine, pickup—Lounge Lizard is built around the modeling of real piano components. Custom pianos can be created with just a few tweaks, a job that took hours of painstaking work on real-life instruments. The factory library is filled with carefully designed pianos but you will have fun servicing your own.

Effects
The Effects panel wraps up Lounge Lizard EP-4 as an all-inclusive package with awesome polishing tools at your hands to match a classic track sound, create custom tones, or simply go wild.

WHAT’S NEW?
We took the most versatile electric piano plug-in to another level—it’s our best sounding release to date.

NEW Library
The completely renewed factory library features classic electric piano sounds as well as over 240 gig- and mix-ready custom electric pianos making good use of the compressor, equalizer, and multi-effect processor.

NEW Compressor and equalizer
These new additions are perfect to add punch and definition to your sound, letting you cut through any dense mix or stage.

NEW Character control
The new Character control provides five classic studio and stage signal path emulations—that’s the cabinet, pre-amp, microphone, and recorder chain that follows the piano’s output—to easily snug fit your electric piano part into your track.

NEW Streamlined interface
Redesigned from the ground up, the new interface now divides Lounge Lizard EP-4 into three panels: Play presents shortcuts to the main piano and effect parameters including bypass switches for quick edits; Edit lets you get under the hood and voice the piano to taste; while FX supplies equalizer, compressor, multi-effect, and reverb processors for final shaping duties.

NEW Limiter
The new output limiter protects your ears and monitors during experimentation with the piano’s physical modeling parameters while providing a maximum of distortion-free dynamics.

NEW Bank and program manager
Lounge Lizard EP-4’s new manager allows simple and efficient organization, backup, and sharing of your sounds.

UPDATED Overhauled effects
Reinvigorated, polished, and tuned especially for the electric piano, Lounge Lizard EP-4’s multi-effect processor features our best sounding chorus, delay, phaser, flanger, distortion, notch filter, wah-wah, auto-wah, and reverb to date!

NEW Microtonal tunings via Scala scale files
Lounge Lizard EP-4 now supports the Scala scale file format for microtonal music making.

NEW Native 64-­bit AU, VST, and AAX plug­-ins
Lounge Lizard EP-4 now runs in native 64-bit on Mac OS X and Windows making it compatible with the latest sequencers.

RYM2612 is a software FM synthesizer in VST, Audio Unit, AAX and Rack Extension formats. It’s an emulation of the Yamaha YM2612 sound chip, best known for being the vibrant voice of the Sega Genesis/Megadrive videogame console. More than a simple sound-alike, the emulation is cycle-accurate to the original chip, that allows reproducing every unique possibility of the synth. On top of this, the amp circuitry of the console has been reproduced too, in order to obtain the same grain you’d get if you plugged the real hardware into your DAW.

Key features
•Cycle-accurate emulation of the YM2612 FM soundchip
•Genuinely reproduces the unique and characteristic sound of its hardware counterpart (digital saturation, huge feedback amount, natural distortion, …)
•Audio input for adding 8-bit PCM sweetness to any signal
•Low CPU usage
•Switchable output filtering and ladder effect
•A couple of limitations from the soundchip have been taken away : up to 16 voices of polyphony, dedicated PCM channel (you can of course stick to 6 simultaneous voices if you want to experience the real thing)
•100+ various, sorted, evocative patches to start with

The 16-bit legacy
Not many people were aware of this, but unlike other videogame consoles, the Sega Genesis/Megadrive had a complete FM synth onboard. The Yamaha YM2612 provided enough features to produce complex, evolving tones, as well as crazy sound effects and PCM samples playback. This is your chance to get your hands on this altered beast, combined with the rich control and modulation possibilities offered by your modern DAW.

Insert extra patches
Meet RYMCast, the perfect companion app for RYM2612. It’s a Genesis music files player that has the special ability to let you mute/solo each channel of your favorite soundtracks and to drag & drop the sounds directly to an RYM2612 instance. Also, RYMCast is free and runs on Windows, macOS and GNU Linux.

The dream synthesizer did not seem to exist: a wavetable synthesizer with a truly high-quality sound, visual and creative workflow-oriented interface to make creating and altering sounds fun instead of tedious, and the ability to “go deep” when desired – to create / import / edit / morph wavetables, and manipulate these on playback in real-time.

Serum will let you stack a single oscillator to use up to 16 voices. Each of the wavetable oscillators have a number of unison advanced parameters. Stack settings allow for note (e.g. octave) layering to get a fuller sound for a single note-press.

Yate was developed for people who want complete control over their tagging experience. Supports audio in AIFF, DFF, DSF, FLAC, M4A, M4B, MP3, MP4, STEM.MP4 and WAV files. Supports video in M4V and MP4.

Yate has a long list of features; most importantly, an innovative scripting system called actions. Actions can be used to update all of an album’s tags with a single operation. Yate also supports integration with AcouticBrainz, AcoustID, Beatport, Discogs, iTunes and MusicBrainz. All changes can be easily reverted and individual changes can be undone in any order. Whether you want to automatically or manually tag your files, Yate can do it all!

What’s New:

Version 6.0:
The Action Manager

• Many actions are written which do not require selected audio files. These include actions which dynamically load files, those that manipulate databases, etc. The issue is that actions cannot run without at least one selected file.
• There is a new column in the Action Manager named Always. When the column is enabled, it is treated as a hint to the action runner. The hint is used as follows:
• if files are loaded and at least one is selected, there is no behaviour change.
• if files are loaded and none are selected, one file will automatically be selected. The named variable File Auto Selected will be set to 1.
• if no files are loaded, a temporary file will be supplied and selected. The named variable Temporary File Supplied will be set to 1.When the action terminates, the file is removed. Note that if the file is renamed or moved it will not automatically be removed.
• Note that the All Files column settings are applied before the Always interpretation.
• It is still your responsibility to ensure that selected files are not modified, if that is your intent.
• Actions with the Always setting will be enabled in menus, main window toolbar icons and edit panel action buttons when there are no files selected.
• Two new action statement categories were added: Import/Export and Preferences.

Compatibility: OS X 10.9 or later, 64-bit processor
