BeatCleaver 1.4.0.5 Released

We’re pleased to announce a new BeatCleaver update is now available.

This minor update brings some modernization and bugfixes to improve the overall experience.

Changes include:

  • Support for High DPI displays (Windows Display Scaling) – Graphics and window sizing are much improved for users with modern, High DPI monitors.
  • Soundcard bug fixes – We’ve backported 8 years of bugfixes from our soundcard I/O code that went on to power Rocket Broadcaster. Includes better default device detection, samplerate detection, and better device compatibility.
  • 64-bit – BeatCleaver is now a native 64-bit application for Windows. Windows 10 and 11 are fully supported.
  • Dark Mode – BeatCleaver now supports Dark Mode, if you enable it system-wide in Windows.
  • Windows Vista support has been dropped. BeatCleaver should run on Windows 7 and up, but we’re only QA testing it on Windows 10 and 11.
  • Bugfixes:
    • Fixed an extra note in MIDI exports if there was a slice point at 0
    • Fixed jittery zoombar dragging, which happened in some cases
    • A couple crash fixes

SodaSynth 1.1 Released!

Oscillicious is pleased to announce the release of SodaSynth 1.1!

This new update includes 4 new presets (Sleep Walker, Sleep Walker Remix, Squish, and Crystal Strings) and brings full compatibility with 64-bit AU and VST hosts on Windows and Mac OS X 10.6+.

Here’s a new video that starts off with a brief demo of two of the new presets (Sleep Walker and Crystal Strings), and then goes on to show some sound design possibilities by taking Sleep Walker and tweaking a bunch of the knobs.

The SodaSynth VST and AU plugin is also fully compatible with Mac OS X Mountain Lion and Windows 8.

Analog Extracts Released!

We’re pleased to announce the release of Analog Extracts, the first sample pack from Oscillicious!

This sample pack contains a fantastic collection of over 200 brand new sounds designed with a scary-expensive Buchla analog modular synthesizer. The pack includes synth leads, basses, and some grimy pad sounds from outer space, along with a selection of analog drums and laser sounds.

What makes Analog Extracts special?

First, these sounds are something else. Our sound designers Thor Kell and Dan Godlovitch did a stellar job at creating a collection of new analog sounds that at times grimy and robotic, yet alive and energetic. Here’s a set of demo songs showcasing some of the samples:

Second, the sample pack comes with a bonus VST and Audio Units plugin that puts all the samples right at your fingertips so you don’t have to fumble around mapping them into your DAW’s sampler, and it doesn’t matter which host you’re using.

Check out the Analog Extracts product page for more information or head over to the Oscillicious Online Shop to pick up a copy instantly by digital download.

What’s Cooking at Oscillicious?

Though it’s been more than a month since my last update, fear not, I’ve been working on Oscillicious products non-stop.

First off, I’ve managed to produce a version of BeatCleaver 1.2 that’s XP compatible, which needs some beta testing. It’s separate version because it doesn’t have the fancy MP3 / M4A slicing that BeatCleaver has on other versions of Windows and OS X, but it still slices and dices WAV and AIFF files just fine.

Interested?
Download BeatCleaver 1.2 for Windows XP here and try it out! (Leave a comment if it works for you!)

Next, I’ve got a 64-bit version of SodaSynth VST and AU in the pipeline. The Mac OS X is available for testing for registered users (email me!), and I hope to have a 64-bit Windows version available for testing soon too.

Now on to something totally new: We’re working on a pretty funky analog synth sample pack that we’re hoping to share with you by the end of August. As I hope you’ve come to expect from us, this sample pack is going to be a little bit different. We’re going to do this sample pack the Oscillicious way: Fresh.

Lastly, we’ve got one more big product in the pipeline, and I hope to release some more information about it soon. Development is progressing very well so far, and it’s what I’m spending almost all of my time on these days. I’m really excited about it because it’s totally different from anything else out there, and I think it’s going to be a very distilled expression of what Oscillicious is all about – Creating awesome, easy to use tools for musicians. Stay tuned!
