Software synthesizers
MAGIX Music Maker 15 Premium includes the following synthesizers:
• The "Drum & Bass machine" creates crunching beats and pulsing
basslines
• "Robota" is a complete drum computer with four independent
instruments which can be played live. Several faders enable all kinds
of sound experimentation.
• MAGIX Vita. Enhance your arrangement with amazingly realistic
natural instruments from yellow tools, the sample specialists.
• LiViD, our "little virtual drummer", provides realistic acoustic drum
tracks. Just a few instructions are enough for "LiviD" to play a
complete drum track with introduction, chorus, bridge, fill-ins, etc.
• Atmos for nature sounds or atmospheres like rain, thunder, or wind.
Media database
Find your recordings, sounds, pictures, and videos quicker and faster
with the MAGIX media database. An existing MAGIX database from
the MAGIX Photo Manager or MAGIX Media Manager is integrated in
the Media Pool and can be updated directly from MAGIX Music
Maker 15 Premium. Use the simple search function to find suitable
pictures or MP3 files for your arrangement.
Audio effects
MAGIX Music Maker 15 Premium provides lots of different audio
effects. A few examples:
• You can correct tempo and pitch in real time using "Resampling",
"Timestretching" or "Pitchshifting".
• The "Audio effects rack" supplies "Reverb", "Echo", "Equalizer",
"Compressor", "Time processor", "Distortion", "Filter", and many
classic effects with which almost every sound can be made. MAGIX
Music Maker 15 Premium provides these sounds in amazingly high
quality. The reverb effect, for example, provides a number of realistic
reverb algorithms to add depth and space to your material. Design
your "favorite reverb" using the many presets as a base with their
various reverb rooms which were designed for specific instruments
and applications.
• The "Vocoder" produces vocal and robot sounds that have been
altered mechanically.
• The "Gater" enables rhythmic splitting of surface sounds
• The Vintage Effects Suite covers "good old" guitar effects that were
activated by foot just like Jimi Hendrix used to do; more warmth and
fullness with "Chorus", jet-like special effects with the "Flanger", or
