WUSIK Station V9 zum Witzpreis abstauben

Und im besten Fall sogar gratis! Aber nicht nur die WUSIK Station V9 könnt Ihr virtuell frei rubbeln (richtig gelesen), sondern auch den virtuell modularen Synthesizer WUSIK 8008. Nach Eingabe Eurer Mail Adresse erscheint ein Rubbellos, das Ihr mit einer virtuellen Münze freirubbeln könnt, danach erscheint Eurer Discountcode. Dieser kann 80 Prozent bis 100 Prozent Ermäßigung bedeuten. Die Ermäßigung wird mittels eines Codes im Warenkorb eingetragen.

Folgende Ermäßigungen sind möglich:

100% Discount – (6% Chance)
98% Discount (70% Chance)
90% Discount (20% Chance)
80% Discount (4% Chance)

Da ich die WUSIKStation schon sehr lange kenne und auch bereits einiges dazu geschrieben habe, konnte ich mich nicht davon abhalten, das virtuelle Los frei zu rubbeln, und siehe da, ein 98 % Rabatt war mir sicher. Gewonnen! Kurz durchgerechnet: 98 % von 99,95 US-Dollar sind 97,95 US-Dollar, ziehen wir diese von 99,95 US-Dollar ab, ergibt das einen Kaufpreis von 2,- US-Dollar. Ja und nach Eingabe meines Discounts Codes steht im Warenkorb genau dieser Betrag. Das fand ich so gut, dass ich das Prozedere direkt noch mal wiederholt habe, und Bäängg, noch mal 98 Prozent Rabatt, dieses Mal für den WUSIK 8008 virtuellen Modular-Synth.

Die WUSIK Station V9 wie auch der WUSIK 8008 können beide sowohl auf Wavetables als auch auf Samples zugreifen, insgesamt 16 Gigabyte an Sample Soundsets könnt Ihr bei Wusik herunterladen, aufgeteilt in Genres und Instrumentengruppen. Hervorragend haben mir schon vor Jahren die HQ Pianos gefallen, die klingen eben ganz eigen und haben Ihren gewissen Charme.

Die Wusik Instrumente sind in 32bit und 64bit als VST2 und VST3 Plug-in sowie als Standalone App (auch in 32bit oder 64 bit) für Windows verfügbar.

Die Features vom WUSIK 8008 Modular Synthesizer:

Preset Categorized and with Author, Tags, Collection Name, Genre, Description and the possibility of searching for those options. Each preset is a XML file with the .w4kPreset file extension, and includes all information in a single file, so you can also move around files and organize in different folder structures. (Besides sample information which are stored in a different folder)
Nearly unlimited number of layers: each layer has its own settings: volume, pan, number of voices, effects, octave, fine, key-zones, velocity-zones, SFX Send to Master Layer, … just see the videos for extra details.
Keyboard Shortcuts with user selectable modifiers: Alt, Ctrl or Shift. By default we use the Alt+shortcut-key.
Layer Unison. (Modules must support this, but ours will always do)
Note-Stealing with the option of setting Stealing the Same Note to On/Off. This is handy for Piano sounds, where a new note should always reuse the previous voice when its the same note or a note that is already playing the envelope release stage.
Modules can have Custom Graphic areas, see the Oscilloscope, XY Pad, Multi Line Envelope/LFO and Sample Player.
Multi Wire/Cable Patch System. Allows to connect nearly any module (when available) to another module parameter. (Also, when available, some modules don´t allow that)
Resizeable Interface. You can set the size of the whole interface as needed and modules will auto arrange on the screen. Some areas of the UI are fixed, while others are dynamic.
Multi Skin support. Skins are just a bunch of PNG files with a XML file that stores information of how things should be set. So users could even mess around with those files and create sub-versions of skins or even new skins, if they got the skills for it.
Selectable DATA Folder. You can move the DATA files anywhere you want, and just place a link of this folder next to the actual plugin files.
Selectable Tool Tip Time.
Selectable Engine Idle Time.
Selectable Oversample option. (Shared by all instances of the plugin) From None to 16 Times Oversample. (optional down sample filter)
Selectable Wires Type and Transparency with a Keyboard Shortcut to Hide and Show quickly.
Modules can be minimized and hidden. They also have an extra menu for hidden options.
Modulation “holes”. Inputs have 3 options: Amount, Min and Max.
Layer hidden wire system for Pitch and Filter Envelope, and also Vibrato and Tremelo information. This can be used by Envelopes and Sound Generators. EG: Envelope is set fo Filter Envelope and in the Filter we have an Env option which will use this information without the need of wires attached. You can still use wires if you want, but this way you connect directly without cluttering the interface with tons of wires. (Specially handy when you have multiple filters using the same Envelope) The Tremolo and Vibrato are Modules that uses those hidden-wires to send information to Sound Generators, but they also have a Menu-Option (click on the Module options) to disable Vibrato and Tremolo if you want.
As right now, modules auto-arrange in 3 selectable ways: by type, using the full width of the interface. By type and size, but using only the width required to show all parameters. And finally, by size, using the same settings as the previous option. (You can see this on the videos below)
Master Limiter (can be disabled)
Modules Templates: you can save a module state. Eg: you create the perfect vibrato effect using the LFO module. Save as a template, and you can load the module with this settings with a single click into any preset/project file.
Sample Player with SFZ, WusikSND, WAV, AIFF and W4kSnd support. (The latter is a XML file format) Plus Round Robin, Key Switching and Wave Sequencing support. (via a MIDI module)
Matrix View.
Mixer View.
Extra Display Options.
Zoom In and Out.
Show Values under parameters.
Show Mini Oscilloscopes next to Module Mod-Source Outputs.
Option to Hide Parameters.
Audio Input and special modules that uses it, such as the Audio Looper.
Custom Modules parameters wrap-around option.
Custom Filter with user based TXT scripting language.

Verfügbarkeit

Wie lange diese Sonderaktion bei WUSIK noch läuft, ist mir nicht bekannt, also beeilen. Es sei noch gesagt, dass die WUSIK Instrumente eine gewisse Einarbeitungszeit verlangen, hat man es aber durchschaut, dann stehen hier gewaltige Möglichkeiten offen, jenseits von den Samplern, Synthesizern und Sampleplayern der Mainstream Hersteller.

Wer noch Bedenken hat, der kann auch Demo Versionen auf der Webseite kostenlos herunterladen, die Soundsets bleiben übrigens die gleichen, egal, ob für die Demoversionen oder die Vollversionen, soll heißen, die müsst Ihr nicht zweimal herunterladen. Zudem findet Ihr auf der Website von WUSIK auch einige gratis Plug-ins, schaut einfach mal unter Products/Freebies.
