The RES-09 is a faithful emulation of a classic analog organ and strings machine from the late 1970s, the Roland RS-09. Though not as widely known as some classic vintage synths, it remains a sought-after gem for its lush ensemble effect, rich divide-down organ tones, and warm analog strings. Our recreation captures the original character while offering modern enhancements, making it an essential tool for vintage-inspired sound design.

TakeSheet

Features
Read full description

Take Sheet is the take sheet, reinvented — a fast, dedicated app for logging recording sessions in real time, built for engineers, producers, and musicians who still reach for a paper take sheet or a shared spreadsheet. It's not a DAW. It doesn't record audio or host plugins. It replaces the clipboard: log every take — number, rating, keeper flag, mic chain, and notes — in under a second, without breaking your flow at the console. DURING THE SESSION • Log takes in one or two taps — built for console speed • Flag keepers and rate takes as you go • Track mic placement, signal chain, and notes per take • Attach photos of mic setups, console screens, and charts • Organize by project → session → track → take AFTER THE SESSION • Import bounce files and play them back right in the app • Auto-queue your keeper takes into a playback list • Sync sessions to your Calendar • Export professional PDF and CSV take sheets to hand off to a mix engineer • Export a full Bounce Bundle ZIP for the artist or band LEARN AS YOU GO Take Sheet includes a built-in instrument encyclopedia — mic placement guidance, typical signal chains, and reference recordings per instrument — free for everyone, whether you're tracking your first session or your five-hundredth. BUILT FOR EVERY DEVICE A true native app on iPhone, iPad, and Mac — not a scaled-up phone app. Your projects sync automatically across all your devices via iCloud. ONE-TIME PURCHASE, NO SUBSCRIPTION Try Take Sheet free with up to 3 projects and the full insck Pro once — unlimited projects, full iCloud sync,unlimited attachments, bounce file playback, calendar sync, and every export format — and it's yours forever.
