EG Nodes vs Secta

EG Nodes is a clip based Audio Unit host with sequencing capabilities to play external instruments, Audio Unit or MIDI hardware and create a complete audio project. A powerful and flexible groovebox to perform or create musical projects from scratch in a fast and easy way. BUILTIN MIDI GENERATOR Use the builtin nodes to play instruments, apply effects and perform. NOTE/CHORD - generates a single note or a chord ARPEGGIO - generates chord arpeggios SEQUENCER - to play a note sequence RHYTHM - to play drums, percussion or rhythmic instruments PIANO ROLL - to write more complex MIDI part in a classic piano roll editorFEATURES GENERATIVE - to continuously generate sequences evolving in time MIDI FX - to host external MIDI FX Audio unit like sequencers, piano rolls and others MIC/INPUT NODE a simple node input audio from your device mic or an external usb interfaces. You can play your guitar or any instrument together with your song and record it using the Audio/Sampler node. BUILTIN AUDIO/RECORDER/SAMPLER Use the Audio Sampler node to import audio files (wav, mp3, mov, mp4, caf or aiff). Audio node is capable of sync the loop to your project tempo using pitch shifting algorithm to stretch the audio without changing its pitch. You can create your own instrument, adding a sample and playing it via the MIDI sequencer nodes. You can also use the Audio node to record the output from any node in your project or from a mic/line (using the MIC node). SONG NODE to link scenes and create a song structure. You can add how many song nodes you like and assign each one to a different section. MIX GROUP NODE to create mixing busses and group nodes. An easy way to apply effects and automation to multiple nodes at the same time. AU3 INSTRUMENTS, FX AND MIDI FX Load your favorite Audio Units to unlock an infinite palette of sounds. SCENES & AUTOMATIONS Save and recall up to 8 main scenes to control your song structure and nodes combination - each node can save its configuration, parameters and notes Automate parameters to add sparkle to your compostions. PROBABILITY - FREQUENCY - RANDOMIZATION AND MORE... Each node has additional controllers to make your performance unique, original and unpredictable. FLEXIBLE MIDI ROUTING & MIDI LEARN Send MIDI and receive it from external hardware, software or apps. Configure soruces and destination for each node and record directly into piano roll. Almost each button, know or slider can be assigned and controlled by your extenal MIDI controllers via a super easy MIDI learn setup AU3 MODULAR SEQUENCER EG Nodes can be loaded in other DAW/Hosts as MIDI FX generator to create MIDI sequences in a fast and easy way MIXER/COMPACT VIEW Adjust nodes level in a compact and optimised view UNIVERSAL Run EG Nodes on iPad or iPhone and share your project with other musicians. ADDITIONAL FEATURES STANDALONE VERSION - 8 recallable scenes to save nodes configurations - History Undo/Redo - Project MIDI scale transposition - Save and recall your favorite nodes - Duplicate and rename nodes - Import and export MIDI into Piano Roll nodes - Individual clip length, speed and steps number - Individual swing for each Sequencer or Rhythm node - AU3 Parameters automation - Multiple MIDI input sources assignable - Record from MIDI input or builtin keyboard into Piano Roll clips - Record AU instruments MIDI Out into Piano Roll clips - Import/Export presets - Record and export your performance - Ableton link sync support - MIDI in & out with midi channel filter for each node - Flexible internal MIDI routing to send MIDI from one node to other ones - MIDI learn to control app with external controllers and MIDI surfaces AU3 MIDI PROCESSOR VERSION - MIDI processor Audio Unit to be hosted into other DAWS - includes all the sequencing features of the standalone app - send MIDI notes out to your host - control AU3 parameters of other AU3 instruments or effects hosted with the app and automate them

Secta is an audio effect that dynamically splits incoming audio in two sections and processes each with an exclusive kit of effects, sculpting silence, shaping accents and amplifying hidden details, guiding each layer into a parallel sonic dimension.  A sound-designer (unforeseen) dream. Secta is part of totem/ series by K-Devices: unconventional audio effects coming in a compact format, easy to use, at a lower, convenient price. Building on the concept of a multidimensional gate, Secta processes the audio in a unique way, adding an ephemeral and dramatic touch to acoustic instruments, warmly disintegrating loops, injecting abrupt drops and re-texturizing your lines, or throwing down any beat into a dark path of fragmentation. Hard-to-describe with classic effect categories, Secta processes both sides of a gated source independently, acting as a counterpoint amplitude sculptor.
  Secta cuts to (re)generate.  Secta is a colorizer, no mix parameters are available: just load Secta onto your track and let it inspire you with its timbrical shades.  A gate, a dynamic multi-distortion, a double headed tectonic monster, a trembling detuned textures generator, and more… so many uses of Secta have yet to be discovered! HOW IT WORKS At first, Secta splits the incoming signal acting as a gate effect: the user sets an amplitude threshold using the Verge and Boost parameters. The signal’s amplitude portion greater than the threshold value generates an envelope which controls the Above and Below sections. The envelope itself controls the frequency of a lowpass filter in the Above section (resulting similar to a lowpass gate), while its inverse value controls the amplitude of the Below section. Such envelope can be shaped using several global parameters: Smooth, Retain, and S/C. Above and Below sections process sounds using a different set of effects each: the more rumbling Above, the more textural and looney Below. Using one section at a time holds interesting sculpting results, while combining and balancing them is great for creating richer textures. SHAPE THE ENVELOPE /// Set Verge and Boost to create the envelope that will control Above and Below; use Smooth and Mode to shape it in different ways. 2 WORLDS /// Above and Below, two sides of the same sound, individual paths (different effects and moods), which eventually converge in a new sonic entity. SCULPT /// Above and Below sections come with Drive and Lo/Hi pass filter the get the perfect shape for any sound project. MANDATORY PROCESS /// No dry/wet here: embrace the totem wisdom and get processed! LOCK PARAMETERS /// Enable lock toggle to preserve key parameters values while browsing presets. IN-GUI INFOS /// Enable Infos toggle to get all parameters details always in sight; just tap on a parameter. 2 FLAVOURS /// Dark and light skin. *** Please note: Secta is an Audio Unit extension (AUv3) – it only works in an AUv3 host app like AUM, Logic, Drambo, Cubasis, etc... ***
