Four Most Recent Articles in Soundbytes
The March issue of Soundbytes Music Magazine is out now, and I have four articles in it, covering a variety of things.
First is a review of Audio Damage's latest synth offering, Continua. It is based on the idea of all aspects of a timbre being able to morph in real time, and it's microtonal as well:

Next is a review of Spitfire Audio's BBC Symphony Orchestra sound set. This is a very expensive ($999 USD) and huge sound set (558GB) with the sounds of the BBC Symphony Orchestra. It's really lovely, and if you can afford it, highly recommended.

In the Freebie of the Month category, I review two interesting semi-random control modules available as free additions to the wonderful VCV Rack synthesizer-on-your-screen project, as well as mentioning about 70 other interesting random composition resources in VCV.

Finally, I review two new sets of modules by synth guru Michael Hetrick, for VCV Rack. These are very reasonably priced payware, and they give you timbral and modulation resources that I haven't seen anywhere else. Well worth the very modest price.
