Kenaxis 3.31 for Mac released

Kenaxis Creative has updated the Mac version of Kenaxis to version 3.31.

Changes:

• Mac OS X 10.7 Lion compatible.

• The visualizer has been updated to 1.1 and fixed an issue where it would not play movies on some computers.

Previous update 3.30: The Mac version of Kenaxis, a real-time audio performance application, has been updated to version 3.3 (the Windows version will be available very soon). Also, the price has been dropped to $49 (it was over $130).

New features:

• Added Multitrack Record: This is very useful if you want to remix material you create while using Kenaxis. You can now create separate stereo files for each of the Kenaxis objects such as the Klangs, Granulators and Freeze when recording.

• SoftStep Support: If you own a Keith McMillen SoftStep, Kenaxis is now optimized to use it. It's set up to use the LEDs and display on the SoftStep so that not only is the SoftStep an input device but it shows the status of Kenaxis as well.

• Sync Klangs 2-5 to Klang 1: You can now automatically sync live loop recordings done in Klangs 2-6 to the length of your loop in Klang 1.

Bug Fixes and other small additions:

• New manual that covers all of the additions to Kenaxis (Check it out for more information on the new additions).

• Value Randomizer Prefs added to customize how a random impulse works (Command E).

• Fixed Kenaxis Visualizer link.

• Fixed System Prefs bugs.

Kenaxis is real-time audio performance application.

Key Features:

• Intuitive Performance Interface: 6 loop players, mixer and master mixer. Clear, compact display of all parameters allows the musician to monitor and manipulate every aspect of the performance.

• Powerful Tools: pitch modulation, delay, granular synthesis, convolution, analog synthesis, 12 band parametric EQs, automated envelopes and filters, random file players and VST support - allows for sonic possibilities not possible with hardware components, at a fraction of the cost.

• Adjustable Crossfades and Insert Silence features: allows for maximum real-time loop manipulation - eliminate clicks, create drones or sparse textures.

• Multiple Audio Sources: Drag and drop sound files, synthesize sounds or capture live sound on the fly.

• OSC and MIDI compatible: Faster and with higher resolution than MIDI, OSC (Open Sound Control) allows the musician to 'play' Kenaxis with the iPod, iPod Touch, Wii controller, Lemur and other OSC devices and software.

• FFT Phase Vocoder: An organic and "more analog-sounding" time-stretching alternative. Pinpoint sounds in the spectrum analysis tool to stretch, freeze and manipulate.
