Can one of you elaborate on what this stuff is exactly and how they relate to JJOS....

all the things i posted are vst effects. you apply them in a host like Reaper, Pro-Tools, Acid, Cubase, etc as an effect on your incoming audio.

they serve to augment what jjos provides by complementing some of the limitations (such as complex midi routing, limited number of pad layers, limited fx, etc)

I would have to say NI Kore 2. I love the fact that it can use VSTi and be used standalone when working on the mpc. It is in my opinion better than reason for a mpc due to the fact it doesn't have a sequencer and just recieves midi clock from the mpc for the tempo. You just load the vsti choose midi channel and play. Great for layering samples. I am still learning the program but so far it's been great.

My pick is a little left of centre but it's definitely cool.

It's VJ software, so you can trigger videos and effects from different midi events. This is especially cool when you're drumming a track live jel style, and each individual noise is assigned to a different visual or visual effect.

I use this with an MPD24 attached to my MPC, so i have lots of knobs and sliders to also add effects to the video output. Very cool!

i'm just a fiend for them, i track em down.
folks on the reaper forums are huge fans of independently made plugins that have very specific uses
or are better than their egregiously expensive counterparts.

bruxism - this is great! such a complement to a live show...

Nym,

Curious to know if you've tried OtiumFX Sonitex? Best dirtbox plugin ever. I used it (and PSP VintageWarmer 2) last night on the Fabfilter synths. Whoa.

The Concept —————————————————————————————————————————

When sampling vinyl records on vintage hardware samplers you often get something more than the musical content itself. This "sonic texture" may be a subtle feel, or it may be something that actually plays a defining role to the sample. Sonitex is built on the idea that "texture" and "grit" is not a single effect such as noise or bit-reduction. Rather, it is the cumulative result of every process a piece of music goes through as well as the interaction of these. So instead of focusing on just a single effect, Sonitex focuses on the complete life span of a piece of music before it ends up as a sample in a contemporary track.

Sonitex includes processing to mimic the mixing stage, overall distortion, vinyl pressing & playback, vinyl noise, frequency fidelity and finally the resolution & characteristics in digital sampling.

Sonitex can be used to add a subtle feel to your material, to make homemade breaks & loops sound like they originate from a rare seventies record, or for sound sculpturing and creative effects.
