Mark of the Unicorn (MOTU) has introduced the latest Digital Performer 7, an advance to its audio workstation application, featuring a range of additions along with output augmentation, with an innovative set of modeled guitar special effects plug-ins.

DP7's suite of classic guitar pedal emulations is modeled after Boss, MXR, Electro-Harmonix, Ibanez as well as others. This stomp box plug-ins is intended to generate genuine tones made well-known by artists for example Eric Clapton, Joe Walsh, Carlos Santana, Pink Floyd, Nirvana, and further musicians.

The suite consists of nine pedals: Tube Wailer, Über Tube, Diamond Drive, RXT, Delta Fuzz, Wah Pedal as well as others. Users can try out with hundreds of tones along with thousands of combinations.

Custom '59 amps

Custom '59 models facet three all-time standard guitar amplifiers: the Fender Bassman, the Marshall JTM45, as well as the Marshall JCM800. Users can change tone settings, drive, with tube combinations to create well-off guitar tones that authentically replicate the sound of every amp. Custom '59 also let users mix plus match the preamp tube, preamp circuit, along with tone stack from every model to produce their personal custom amps.

Live Room | G

DP7's Live Room | G is a substantial modeling speaker cabinet emulator plug-in with four mic channels (two mono with one stereo), mixable mic positions (close, near, and far) as well as 3-band EQ per channel. The modeling technology in Live Room | G is intended to detain the tone with detail needed to recreate the sound of a speaker cabinet in a real room recorded by four separate mics.

Five cabinet models are supplied, including a 4x12 Modern for ultra-distorted cut up with sludge, a 4x12 Vintage for '80s hair-band tributes along with ‘70s proto-metal, as well as a 2x12 Combo for Muscle-Shoals-style southern rock with country.

Live Room | G is a part (typically the final stage) for DP7 guitar tone signal chains. Users can unite Digital Performer's stomp pedal special effects, Custom '59 amp emulator, along with Live Room | G's cab emulation in countless combinations for guitar fraction, bass parts, as well as any amped device.

Live Room | G lets you listen to any track throughout a speaker cabinet. What may take hours of setup with tinkering with a genuine cabinet in a room with numerous mics will take hardly any second to set up on screen in a Digital Performer project, the corporation says? Users can try out with just about any sound source to insert depth, height as well as organic feel.
