Comixware 2.0.1a is such a powerful tool that provides all the essential movie-making tools for user to compose, modify and publish multimedia presentation in Comixware's interactive authoring environment where user can continuously edit and reedit his own or other user's work infinitely.

The contents for this "machine" are made of modulated story clips that can be recomposed and reshuffled in a timeline in any order or fashion as user desires. Each of these clips is made of scene elements that can be edited and manipulated individually by user. This "machine" comprises of 5 sections: Read, Compose, Play, Save, and Gallery.

OttoVibe Audio Unit 1.1 offers you a fun auto/touch effect which comes with easy MIDI control. OttoVibe works much like an envelope-controlled filter, except that instead of a filter, it has a modulation section. The envelope controls the rate and depth of the modulation effect. OttoVibe includes a variety of effects including tremolo, vibrato, panning, and chorus. Altogether, OttoVibe has eight different types of effects.

The thing that makes OttoVibe interesting is that the effects can be dynamically manipulated using "touch" or expression pedal controls, much the same way a touch wah works. Even though OttoVibe tends to be more subtle than its siblings (OttoPhormant and OttoPhilter), it is very expressive.

Requirements:

• Mac OS X 10.4 or higher
  
• An Audio Unit Host
