Phazor

Adam Szabo — Sat, 31 Dec 2011 15:18:49 +0000

Phazor is a free effect plugin, which emulates the phaser effect found in the Virus synthesizers, which helped make its characteristic sound. A lot of time was devoted to make it sound very close to the original and every control has been carefully adjusted to behave just like the phaser from the Virus. It has selectable 1 to 6 stage all-pass filters controlled by an LFO, with spread and feedback controls. The plugin is highly optimized and its CPU usage is minimal, allowing for multiple instances to be used in a project.

Credits go to J. Bradford Hunter for his help with the coding and optimization!

Why no Mac and 64-bit version?
Unfortunately, SynthMaker does not yet support export to 64-bit or AU, Mac VST yet. As soon as SynthMaker supports them, the effect will be available in these formats.

Binary Finary & Daniel Wanrooy – Isle of Lies (Adam Szabo remix)

Adam Szabo — Mon, 19 Dec 2011 20:57:22 +0000

Release Date : 19/12/2011

Label: Digital Society

Legendary trance act Binary Finary team up with one of the brightest new talents to emerge from The Netherlands in recent years, Daniel Wanrooy to produce Isle Of Lies.

Built around a massive, classical sounding main lead Isle Of Lies also packs more than a punch, with it’s thumping lower end and meaty percussion.

The on fire Adam Szabo is drafted in for the remix. Awash with layers of synths for which we’ve become accustomed to expect from sound designer Adam, his remix is very much about increasing the melodic angle whilst adding some lovely bounce to the bassline.

Already supported by the likes of Armin van Buuren, Isle Of Lies is an essential trancer for this winter!

Trance Music Mastery

Adam Szabo — Sun, 18 Sep 2011 13:49:15 +0000

I have teamed up with Trance Music Mastery to create a series of professional video tutorials in sound design, with the help of Zebra 2. I have made sounds exclusively for these videos which are not available anywhere else. It teaches everything from the basics, to creating different types of sounds used in Trance music.

There is also an interview with me divided into two parts:

Part 1
Part 2

Make sure you watch the tutorial videos and download the free sounds!

Adam Szabo — Mon, 08 Aug 2011 15:08:18 +0000

Release Date : 08/08/2011

Label: Always Alive Recordings

Adam Szabo serves up his third release on Always Alive, in what has been a massive comeback from the super talented producer.

A release that’s more akin to his earlier works, this is definitely not your typical sounding trance track.

Packed with layer upon layer of mind bending synth lines and delicious 80′s influences, this track is awash with uplifting emotion and energy, guaranteed to put a big smile on your face!

Adam Szabo – Serano

Adam Szabo — Mon, 30 May 2011 15:02:56 +0000

Release Date : 30/05/2011

Label: Always Alive Recordings

Adam Szabo’s debut on Always Alive was the very well received Radiance; a track that firmly announced his return to the trance scene.

With summer just around the corner Adam delivers Serano, a scorching hot, sun soaked trancer perfect for the summer months.

Blissful melodies and gorgeous vocal chops hold the focus of the track, with a stunning piano line and powerful rolling bassline all making this a real stand out track yet again for Adam.

JP6K

Adam Szabo — Sat, 26 Mar 2011 18:55:42 +0000

JP6K is a synth dedicated to emulating the famous Super Saw sound, first found in the Roland JP-8000 synthesizer in 1997. It aims to capture the essence of the sound and the behaviour of the original oscillator. Even after a decade, the Super Saw is still sought after by people all around the world, and is a crucial part of such music genres like Trance.

There are several factors that make the Super Saw in the JP6K different than other synths that provide a similar sound. The original Super Saw from Roland was aliasing, thus creating a bright and “airy” sound. To prevent the sound from sounding harsh below the fundamental harmonic, a high pass filter was possibly used to remove the unwanted frequencies. The JP6K uses the same design to achieve that special oscillator waveform giving it a unique tone.

Another important aspect of the classic Super Saw, was its special detune curve. It was non-linear, which gave the user greater control over the detune amount. Even when the detune control was half way, the spread of the detune was small, which made it possible to make very smooth sounding pads. The curve then gradually increased, and at higher values, the detune rapidly spread out to maximum. This unique curve is accurately modelled in JP6K, making it nearly identical to the detune in the hardware.

The JP6K also emulates other features from the JP-8000 like the filters, key tracking and the EQ, to give it an even more authentic way to shape the Super Saw sound. The synth has been optimised to use minimal amount of CPU, so it is possible to use multiple instances.

Key features:

32 voice polyphony
Two Super Saw oscillators, an upper and lower with panning
1 noise oscillator
Three filter modes: low pass, band pass and high pass with -12 & -24 dB/Oct
Three independent LFOs controlling the filter, amp and pitch
Pitch envelope
Glide (Portamento) / MIDI pitch-wheel support
Built in delay and EQ
114 presets, which includes presets from CFA-Sound, MASCHINENBAUERMUSIC, Mikey O’Hare and Grzegorz

Adam Szabo – Radiance

Adam Szabo — Mon, 28 Feb 2011 21:07:05 +0000

Release Date : 28/02/2011

Label: Always Alive Recordings

Sweden has been a hotbed for trance producers over the past years, and making a very welcome return to the scene is Adam Szabo.

Having seen Always Alive start in emphatic style with Daniel Kandi’s ‘Promised’, the label will no doubt gather further momentum with this classy production.

Following suit with another peak time gem, Adam’s “Radiance” is a superb trancer that will surely see major support from the big guns this spring; already championed by Armin van Buuren on ASOT!

With some excellent future releases already completed from Adam, we fully expect him to cause quite a stir in 2011!
