![]() ![]() According to user and analyst reviews Archicad is the easiest to learn and most fun to use while providing best-in-class capabilities. This software is natively available for both Windows® and Macintosh®. Should a version actually not be released one year, then we would all have something to complain about.Archicad is a software tool for architects working in the architecture-engineering-construction (AEC) industry for designing buildings from the conceptual phase all through to the construction phase. Some years I choose not to adopt the latest version - that is my choice - but I still pay the annual subscription. Whether the upgrade is worth it or not I guess that is a matter of personal choice. Yes, this year is a little latter than most, but it is still going to happen. Since it changed to the yearly version upgrades, I can not recall that it has ever been missed. If you feel you are being hard done by, why not cancel the subscription and then just pay for the upgrades as they happen (if you feel they are worth it)? I assume you pay an annual subscription that includes support, licence insurance and all updates and upgrades within that year. I was not sure what to expect in next year's version 24 (which is the one I was planning on upgrading to). Now, in 2019, they're literally the only BIM software on the market that's incapable of making use of a multi-monitor work environment and to leverage today's powerful graphics cards and GPU's to do so. The marketing tagline of one of their versions not that long ago was, " ArchiCAD : The only BIM software on the market that is fully multi-core aware and take full advantage of multi-core CPU's" I was actually remarking to a colleague about how ArchiCAD used to be the pioneering software and front-runner among its rival. It's all just worrying signs as to what lies ahead in the future of this once great software. ![]() So I can only imagine how maddening this must be for subscription folks who, knowing that even when they do eventually get their hands on it, unless they're big firms, there's not a whole lot in the upgrade that will justify all of this. What is the point of the Beta testing period and the whole beta testing process if they're still going to delay and postpone the release anyway by up to 4 months, just to fix the problems that were not caught by the beta testing (I'm assuming)?Īnd then to top it all off is the radio silence from Graphisoft (their standard Modus Operandi for everything) and leaving customers to have to rely on resellers or forums like this to get any information (if any at all, even).Īnd like I said, I'm not even upgrading to this version since there really wasn't anything in the upcoming features that I feel were aimed to a small user like myself (and haven't really been since Version 21 which is the main version I'm still on right now). Look away now, if you're of sensitive disposition. Which should probably place you at around a month or two away from the Version 24 release announcement (and probably another 6 months for the actual release after the announcement if they keep the current model). This would be laughable and funny if it weren't so sad.Īnd I'm not even upgrading to this version.Īnd if you subscription folks think you're mad now, just wait until it's released and you find out that you still have to go through another 5,6,7 or 8 hotfixes before it's even fully usable and stable enough to carry over most of your projects to. Starting to sound more like INSURANCE than software. I ALWAYS knew there would be some point at which we'd make 2 payments and get 1 upgrade. What's really going to be tough to swallow is next April. ![]()

![]() ![]() Set the unison phase slider all the way up to 100%. Move the unison pitch thickness to 56% which is the slider between unison phase and unison panning. Next move the unison panning slider all the way up to 100%. Also select the unison order to 8 voices (that’s 8 unison voices). STEP 4 (Harmor Side A > Unison) : Harmor Side A UnisonĬhange Harmor’s unison distribution from Blurred to Classic. And as far as how to slide notes in Massive is concerned this can be done with automating the channel pitch. The same can be achieved but in a different manner when using another synth like Massive. The coveted “fl studio slide between notes” effect. This will make the Bake Sale Synth Bass have that nice sliding bass sound. Make sure the legato time curve is set to linear and not logarithmic pitch slide. On legato controls set legato slide time to 4:0 towards the right-hand side. STEP 3 (Harmor Side A > Legato Controls) : Harmor legato controls Harmor Side ‘A’ – Legato and Unison Settings. So 100 cents * 12 half-steps gives you an answer of 1200 cents in an octave. Therefore 1/100 of a semi-tone is equivalent to “1 cent” because there is 12 semi-tones in an octave or 12 half-steps. The pitch limit set to 900 cents means the legato effect will only occur up to the range of 900 cents which is less than an octave.Īn octave has 1200 cents. By doing so Harmor will slide the pitch of overlapping notes in the piano roll. This will turn Harmor into a monophonic mode (legato). STEP 2 (Harmor Side A > Global Legato) : Enable the global legato switch and set the legato pitch limit to 900 cents. If not then you should just load a default preset of Harmor. Let’s get started shall we!īake Sale Synth Bass by goldmidi Bake Sale Synth Bass Tutorial Getting Started.Īfter loading up Harmor, by default the Timbre 1&2 mix knob is set all the way left which is a sawtooth waveform. We will be using Image-Line Harmor which is driven by a powerful additive synthesis engine. DirectSound or ASIO compatible soundcard.This sound design tutorial will show you how to recreate Wiz Khalifa Bake Sale Synth Bass.2Ghz AMD or Intel Pentium 3 compatible CPU with full SSE1 support.Use INSIDE FL Studio is possible on both macOS and Windows ATTENTION: NO macOS VST version available yet!.Harmor works inside FL Studio both under Windows and macOS.Fine-tune each unison voice independently.Offers more freedom over oscillators, filters & phasers.CPU efficency is comparable to that of subtractive synthesizers.Resynthesis can of course be tweaked, providing time stretching, pitch shifting, or less conventional manipulations of partials. The reproduction will be faithful, not a vague sound-alike as in many additive synthesizers. Get access to gain & pitch planes which you can tweak in the image editor of your choice, and import any bitmap, even if it wasn’t designed to be turned into audio, it might still sound interesting.īeing an additive synthesizer, Harmor can resynthesize audio files as well. No human can (or even wants to) edit 500 envelopes, but editing 2d images, that we can do easily. Because it typically requires manipulating large amounts (up to 500 per voice) of partials over time, additive synthesis is hard to handle. If you need one of the 2 filter units processed after the blur unit, that’s no problem. Processing units can be rearranged in a semi-modular way. Through the same envelope/mappings, randomize any parameter or link it to key or velocity, and even fine-tune each unison voice independently. You wanted more, so also featured is the multipoint envelope editor of sytrus fame, applied to over 40 parameters, in 2 independent parts. You don’t just select filter types, you draw them. Harmor is driven by a powerful additive synthesis engine. ![]() ![]() ![]() There are a variety of jobs on offer which will earn you additonal Avacoins.

Through this feature, a user can log on to a computer that does not have the Office software installed and use Microsoft’s Web Office components to access, edit and share a document. The suite lets users save documents directly to Microsoft’s SkyDrive cloud service. Microsoft makes extensive use of the cloud in Office 2013. ![]() Advantages of Office Professional Plus 2013 As with Microsoft’s Windows 8 operating system, the new Office software is optimized for touch-enabled devices, allowing for easier manipulation of documents and presentations than with a mouse and keyboard. ![]() The Office Professional Plus 2013 version of the software includes Word, PowerPoint, Excel, Outlook, OneNote, Access, Publisher and Lync. The software also offers tighter integration with a user’s Microsoft account for reading emails and managing contacts and calendars. Response time is good and with a little getting used to, the interface is accessible to all users.Īll things considered, the Microsoft Office suite is one of the best pieces of software out there, offering tons of customizable features and options to all user categories.Microsoft’s Office 2013 suite of software comes with a number of features that make it easier for users to collaborate. The computer’s performance might be affected by some of the aforementioned items, yet they mostly work without hiccups on all PCs. Conclusion and performanceĪll the functions of Microsoft Office can be tested through the 60-day trial period, and if the results are satisfactory, a license needs to be purchased. Each of these can be installed separately or together with some other utilities which can ease office work.Įxcel is ideal for creating spreadsheets and keeping track of one's finance, Outlook is the right tool to manage your e-mail, PowerPoint generates high-quality presentations, Word can be used to format and organize texts, Access is a database management system, InfoPath facilitates creation and distribution of electronic forms, whereas OneNote supports multi-user collaboration and Project, SharePoint Designer and Visio come in handy to developers. Microsoft Office comes with several tools, as it follows: Excel, Outlook, PowerPoint, Word, Access, InfoPath, OneNote, Project, SharePoint Designer and Visio. Experimenting with the suite is necessary to ensure smooth operation in the future. However, upon further analysis, one can find components or functions with every mouse click, and this might seem confusing if users do not know exactly the tool they require. Complex features and multiple tools to use At the first glance, due to the well-known ribbon interface, the app might seem familiar. Those who have not used an office suite before, be it Microsoft Office, OpenOffice or any other similar software, need to take the time to adjust to the interface. Also, copying all files usually takes a while, even in the case of fast computers, since there are a lot of files that need to be transferred on the hard disks. Installing Microsoft Office might seem a little tricky, since there are a lot of tools bundled into the installation kit, so computer knowledge can come in handy when trying to deploy a fresh copy of the software. Text editor, spreadsheet tool, email client, presentation maker, and note taker in one suite Updates are frequently rolled out to continuously improve the Office suite, so it currently comes with a very attractive interface that keeps features a bit more organized, so that users can now benefit easier from its innovative functions. Office is one of the best products ever released by Microsoft and it can even be considered as a must-have for millions of users out there. ![]() Singers often playfully employ certain features to highlight parts of their identity or locate themselves in a particular music genre. Different language influences are formed into individual linguistic repertoires. Moreover, singers show that the linguistic (and cultural) resources as such are mobile. smart phones, tablets) and applications (Facebook, Twitter, Instagram) facilitate as well as accelerate the transnational dissemination of media resources.

On the other, her persona, music, videos, and further media commodities are part of the global ‘mediascape’ (Appadurai, Reference Appadurai1996). On the one hand, she physically travels the world playing concerts to her audiences. Singers, like Rihanna, are thus mobile, transnational linguistic agents. The example of Rihanna shows that singers can be transporters of English varieties: she is a Caribbean artist who started a successful career in the US, and whose music today has global reach. Noelliste, Reference Noelliste2016), others acknowledge her performance as a ‘reclamation of her Barbadian heritage’ (Gibsone, Reference Gibsone2016).

![]() ![]() The years of XP and the Blue Screen of Death are in the past if you use a good quality PC. Windows 7 and now Windows 8 provide incredibly good performance and reliability. We know that most DJ’s and digital performers use Macs and we have a Mac solution. Using Emulator with any Windows touch device 13”, 15”, 17” or gorgeous 27” like the Lenovo A720, Dell XPS One 27 or SmithsonMartin hardware, represent an incredibly comfortable working surface of big controls for easy and reliable usage. The 10 inch size screen or less of most of these devices seriously limits the number and size of controls you can add and handle with your fingers in a comfortable and reliable way. IPad and android devices are really great state of art devices, but are they really comfortable for real use? The answer is not really. You have all the power of your performance tool under your eyes and touch! Our patent-pending technology fixes this trouble by merging the native interface of your preferred software with the controller interface you create or choose from our template library. Unless you have super human peripheral vision, this becomes an impossible task and therefore touch screens impose this uncomfortable limitation. For example in live performance, you may need to study your wave form in Traktor and apply an effect or loop at an exact moment, fire a clip in Ableton, trigger a transition in Resolume or change a lighting cue in GrandMA. While this is not really a big problem, but it becomes so when you need to look at your DJ or DAW software and your touch surface simultaneously. You cant feel sliders buttons or knobs so this means that you have to look at your interface in order to touch a button or move a slider. Touch screens have one negative side, you do not have tactile feedback in your fingers. Our patent-pending technology allows this wonderful feature. other touch softwareĮmulator is the only touch-screen software that can merge the software to be controlled with the touch interface making a software feel like it was natively designed for use with multi-touch. Using emulator with our hardware or with any glass capacitive touch device or optical touch, you have a controller with an extremely long life. A touch screen is a device with extremely high endurance compared to any hardware device and our software takes full advantage of that fact. Hardware controllers are affected by ambient conditions like cigarette smoke, fog machines, powder, liquids, outdoor conditions, etc. No matter what brand you plan to buy, the reality is that after a relative short time of usage the buttons, sliders knobs, and also the silkscreen of your hardware controller will be damaged, generating a non desired look and behavior. ![]() Hardware controllers are not built the way they used to be. All hardware controllers are made to be available at a cheap price reducing the build quality and the durability. With our software you can always continue changing your controller, you turn yourself in your own controller designer, where there is no limits to what you can create. The software includes all common standard objects like sliders, knobs, modulation pads, encoders and more! Emulator also runs on extended desktop mode a great feature for running multiple instances of our software in multiple screens or leaving your main screen free for any application you want! After evolution of your software tool, no matter how complete your controller is when you start, you will begin to have missing features, you loose the control in very short time. With standard classic controllers you cannot change features when your preferred software advances and improves. With Emulator you can create your controller with no limits. ![]() Hardware controllers come with a fixed amount of features based on physical controls like knobs, buttons sliders etc. Instead of using standard hardware controllers, Emulator is unlimited. *OSX version is available with our hardware, Windows version can be used with any Windows 7 and 8 multi-touch device! – 10% discount on all SmithsonMartin hardware – Access to Emulator Community & Private forums – Instant free upgrades as new features are added ![]() – Completely customizable multi-touch midi controller Virtual MIDI controller software designed for multi-touch screen devices ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() On my account, loaded down with review units, there’s not a single smartphone I can’t install the app on. Through the Play Store, the Google Phone app can now be installed on Android smartphones from Samsung to OnePlus and everything in between, as Android Police spotted. With its latest beta, it appears to work on just about any device. Do you have any more to recommend? Let us know via the comments below.After expanding to a few models seemingly at random earlier this year, the Google Phone dialer app is expanding to more Android smartphones. ![]() ![]() These are three calling apps you should try out. That alone is a good enough reason to keep this app installed, if you have people you know living in those countries.ĭownload Hangouts dialer from Google Play (Free) So, why would we want to put it as a calling app you should have? Well, simply because calling to US and Canada using the Hangouts dialer is free. The Hangouts dialer app is an add-on to the now-forgotten Hangouts messaging service from Google. Lastly, there is a theme store to change its appearance to your liking. It also supports several gestures for quick access and actions. The dial pad has a built-in calculator too, for some reason. Drupe also has a built-in call recording feature. Similarly, you can send SMSs, set reminders, and connect with many more apps. So you can drag a contact and drop it to say, the WhatsApp or Facebook Messenger icon in Drupe, to open up a chat with that person directly. This calling app lets you drag people to frequently used modes of communication. It's a little expensive as a monthly subscription though, and we wish the company had gone with a one-time purchase model instead.ĭownload TrueCaller from Google Play (Free, with ads)ĭrupe is a multi-functional dialer with an interesting interface. The only gripe is the in-app ads, although you can remove them, for Rs. TrueCaller constantly keeps updating the user interface and adds new features regularly. The app also has swiping gestures to quickly initiate a call or text message. Lastly, you can choose a dark theme if you prefer. You can ask the person to call you back when they’re free, and they’ll get a notification once they're available. A red dot mean the person is busy on another call or their phone is in DND mode. Next, the tiny green dots in the interface show you if the person is ready to take phone calls. First, apart from blocking spam calls pretty accurately, it also fills names of unknown callers from its database into the call logs. The king of third-party calling apps, TrueCaller is functional for many reasons. Out of the lot, here are three calling apps that are worth installing on your smartphone. Based on that, we drew up a list of the top calling apps, and then tried them out to find the ones which actually make a difference to users. To find these calling apps, we browsed through Google Play and tried out a lot of the different apps, checked user reviews, and recommendations online. If you're just looking for a dialer that changes the way calling looks, there's plenty to choose from, but we wanted to focus on calling apps that actually add functionality, and help improve making phone calls. There’s huge scope for innovation in the way we make phone calls, but the good news - at least for Android users - is that there are a lot of third-party calling apps on Google Play that are doing just that.Īlthough scanning the Google Play store for calling apps will result in plenty of results, the fact of the matter is that most of them are either too old, or not unique in any way. We use smartphones for so much more than just making calls these days that the default dialer app is mostly ignored in yearly software updates. ![]() |
