Bitsonic has released Cannabis vocoder for Windows a ‘-funny plugin’ that they say can completely change the sound of your vocal track. The mono version is an effect plugin, meaning it works as a VST effect, rather than as an instrument. Using the effect on the vocal track, the software automatically tracks the tune of the track, and calculates the pitch of the changed sound as well. The poly version is a VST instrument application, where you can load the vocal track into the software and, using, the MIDI channel you can use it as a polyphonic vocoder. Here’s a demo of Cannabis in action:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bAbjyvIOGsYSource link

NexusUI is a free JavaScript library of audio interface components lets you turn your Web browser into a music controller.

NexusUI is not a ‘canned solution’, but is a set of components that can be used to build custom interfaces. Because they are built with Javascript, interfaces based on NexusUI can run in a Web browser. And they can be used to integrate directly with the Web Audio API in the browser, or to transmit OSC to apps like  Max, SuperCollider or Chuck. NexusUI is designed to be  mobile-friendly and multi-touch compatible. It can be used to enable  large-scale collaborative performances, by distributing music interfaces via the Web. This makes your music controller available to anyone with a Web browser, which is now something that many people  carry in their pocket. You can get details on NexusUI at the Nexus OSC site.

Patchworks has released a new version of Ultimate Ableton Live Controller Conductr app for the iPad. Conductr 1. 1 is now a free download.

Additional features that can be unlocked via in-app purchases. Here’s what the developers have to say about Conductr:Conductr is not about having everything in Ableton Live on your iPad, but about offering a user experience that makes sense on an iPad. We do not want to replicate hardware on a touchscreen; we want to get maximum advantage of multitouch technology to give musicians the kind of resources that they can’t get from a hardware controller. From an ergonomic interface that adapts to any momentary need ‘in other words: you only see what you need at any given time’ to a gestural mode that allows the user to play without watching the iPad and a modular basis that will permit the app to grow through the addition of complementary modules. Conductr 1. 1 is now a free download, which will allow you to control 4 tracks and 11 scenes on any Ableton Live set. You can also create 2 user modules, each one can integrate up to 8 parameters from any device on any track of your set. You can make in-app purchases for different premium modules and packs to get unlimited features and personalize Conductr based on your needs. This update also includes a Sends Mode in the Mixer Module, a Mute Hiding button and the possibility to save your projects’ complete set-ups ‘ features early adopters requested. All early Conductr users will still have the full pack without any additional expense. “We do not want to replicate hardware on a touchscreen,” Conductr CEO JuliÃ

Glitchmachines has introduced Hysteresis, a free glitch delay effect plug-in, for Mac & Windows, geared toward creating ‘robotic artifacts’ and abstract musical malfunctions.

Hysteresis features a delay effect with stutter, lowpass filter and modulation effects thrown into the feedback signal path. Here’s what they have to say about Hysteresis:

Easily infuse your projects with glitchy articulations and abstract textures. Process anything from drums and percussion to synth lines and sound effects. On top of being able to create incredibly wild signal mutations, it can also be used to generate classic delay effects.

iTunes gift card recipients can actually gift 20 million In music from iTunes, by purchasing them on-demand so your $10 turns into $20 million, for a month.

If you pay by the month for music, your kith and kin might call you crazy behind your back. Isnt that stuff free?

On the other hand, if you are a subscriber, youve probably realized that if you like music, you could do worse than to pay $10/month for 20 million songs. Accessing those same songs for a year via iTunes would cost you about $20,000,000 (keep the receipt).

If you like music, and most people do, using a subscription for the first time is like being a kid in a candy shop with unlimited pocket change and no parental pressure about cavities or metabolism.

iTunes sales ramp up significantly in January, as children, parents, colleagues, and other iTunes gift card recipients head to Apples digital store to buy music, apps, and books with their gift cards. As the above example demonstrates, you can actually give someone just about all the music in iTunes for much less, by purchasing them on-demand music access instead.

Suddenly, your $10 turns into $20 million, if only for a month.

Note! Before you give someone a music subscription, make sure they have a smartphone or tablet that has an app for the service youre choosing. Otherwise, your giftee might as well be using free Spotify on the desktop. Also, all of these subscriptions cost basically the same: $10/month.

If you’re giving this music to someone who has a smartphone or tablet, and also has a stereo system or speakers, you should give them an Airport Express too (pictured), because thats the cheapest acceptable way to zap music from iOS or Android to a stereo system. (If you have more money to spend, get them Sonos instead.)

Assuming the above hardware hoops have been jumped through, heres how to give someone a year (or less) of 20 million or so songs in all of the major music services available in the authors home country of the United States, in alphabetical order (perhaps next year we can include Deezer).

One more thing! If you already use one of these, pick that one, obviously. This will help you spend less of 2014 on digital music tech support.

Google Play Music All Access

You can buy gift cards here in increments of $10, $25, or $50, which can be applied to a Google Play Music All Access subscription or anything else sold by the Google Play store. This is a great choice for listeners who are trying to migrate from iTunes to the cloud.

MOG/Beats

Dont do it this year. MOG is relaunching as Beats Music, and we dont really know what that is yet.

Rdio

You can buy gift cards here in increments of $10, $25, $50, $100, or any other amount. That means if you want to buy them exactly one year of music you can. Also, if youre trying to give unlimited music to a whole household, Rdio offers family plans, stretching those dollars a bit farther, while making each recipient feel like they have their own account.

Rhapsody

Helpfully, Rhapsody offers gift cards here in month denominations, rather than in dollar amounts, so you can choose 1, 3, 6, or 12 months without wasting pennies.

Spotify

You can buy Spotify for someone else here, in chunks of 1, 3, 6, or 12 months, as with Rhapsody, so you dont need to leave pennies on the table. Also, this would be an especially good option if the person youre thinking of giving it to already uses Spotify, but doesnt have a premium account.
