EG Nodes vs RingsFX

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

RingsFX is an AUv3 plugin based on the famous Mutable Instruments Rings, one of the most dedicated and fully-featured Physical Modeling Eurorack modules ever created. At its core is a resonator that needs to be 'excited' or 'strummed' by MIDI input, noise, or external audio excitation. RingsFX emulates vibrations of structures simulated by 3 different synthesis techniques that can be plucked or process external signals: Modal Synthesis, Sympathetic Strings, and Inharmonic Strings. Traditionally, Rings was only monophonic but used a unique approach to polyphony that allowed the previous note to 'ring' out and decay while a new note was played. Rings FX provides these same modes (Mono, Duo, and Quad), but expands it with a true Polyphonic mode. RingsFX also expands the capabilities of the original engine by adding support for velocity sensitivity and MIDI MPE mode. The new polyphonic mode allows RingsFX to play up to 12 notes of true polyphony, depending on the settings. Doing so requires RingsFX to use multiple Rings resonators, but the more true polyphony you use, the more processing power it requires. Running in the traditional Monophonic, Duophonic, or Quadrophonic modes may be preferred in order to keep CPU usage under control. RingsFX has 7 modes in total, by combining the 3 basic modes with additional properties such as chords or specially tuned reverbs. The original hardware also had a secret 'Easter Egg' mode, which in RingsFX is simply calling 'Synthesizer' mode, rumoured to be based on one of the early Korg synthesis methods. This mode supported a number of mutable effects which now work on in all resonator modes. RingsFX also has a Mod-Matrix which allows you to combine the built-in LFOs and FEGs to great effect by manipulating parameters and mutable effects in realtime. Finally, RingsFX can be loaded as an AUv3 effect plugin. Set the Exciter Source to 'INPUT', and you can pass any audio through RingsFX and use this audio as an external exciter. For example, it can be used to great affect on a drum beat to create some crazy rhythms. Use the Output Mix to combine the original audio with the synthesised resonator output to create some stunning effects.
