Applied Acoustics Systems Tassman 4 Sound Synthesis Studio Mac OS X and Windows
Acoustics Systems announces the official release of Tassman 4 for Mac OS X and Windows, an upgrade of their award-winning Tassman sound synthesis studio. Tassman 4 offers musicians and sound designers an even broader range of creative possibilities with a new synth and preset library created by top sound designers, the possibility to process live audio inputs, sync to host capability and improved acoustic modules. Tassman 4 also includes new functionalities for the management and design of presets such as an output effect section, new effect modules and a performance mode.
"With this upgrade, we have focused on exploiting the unique creative potential of Tassman and developed new tools to make the use of sounds from such a wide range of synths easy and efficient," said Marc-Pierre Verge, CEO of Applied Acoustics Systems. "This work is the fruit of an exciting collaboration with Ilio, our new North-American distribution partner, which has enabled us to combine our innovative technology with their tremendous expertise in sound design." Based on AAS' state-of-the-art physical modeling technology, the Tassman is an entirely modular sound design solution, offering a near infinite range of creative possibilities for realistic emulation of acoustic instruments, analog and FM synthesizers, and unique hybrid constructions simply not possible by any other means of synthesis.
Pricing and Availability
The Tassman 4 is available now for both Windows and Mac OS X platforms. Existing Tassman users can upgrade to the new version for US$99 from the Applied Acoustics Systems website. Note that users who bought or unlocked Tassman after the 1st of January 2004 can upgrade free of charge.
Tassman 4 - Sound Synthesis Studio The Tassman is a modular sound synthesis studio based on Applied Acoustics Systems' award winning physical modeling technology. The Tassman offers a near infinite range of creative possibilities with a wide collection of synths ranging from highly realistic emulation of acoustic instruments, analog and FM synthesizers, loop processors to entirely unique hybrid creations simply not possible by any other means.
The Tassman is a tightly integrated environment comprising of three mains interfaces: the Player, the Builder and the Browser. With the Tassman Player you are ready to play any of the synths included in the library. The automatically generated Player interface is inspired by classic analog hardware making it easy to tweak any of the existing factory presets to create and save your own custom sounds. The Builder allows you to customize the way individual modules are connected within a synth, or even create your own instruments from the ground up, using an intuitive 'building block' approach. The Builder interface presents the patch associated with each synth in a way that is easy to understand and logical. A patch can easily be modified or created by dragging the color-coded building blocks from the bank of modules. Finally, the Browser is where you find and organize all the Tassman elements used in the Player and Builder: performances, synths, presets, modules, MIDI Links, imported patches and subpatches. The Browser Filters and Locate function make navigating and organizing Tassman elements a breeze.
From unrivaled recreations of analog and acoustic instruments, to wildly adventurous cinematic textures, the Tassman puts the shape of sound design in your hands.
