Sinevibes has released Strobe, a new AudioUnit effect plug-in for rhythmic audio gating, and updated Sequential, the multi-effect sequencer AudioUnit, to version 1.2.
Strobe's core is a sequencer that runs in perfectly precise sync with your DAW and lets you mute individual notes and sounds in a looped fashion. Thanks to variable timing, swing and gate shape Strobe can easily match the feel of any melodic or rhythmic part.
It's a simple yet versatile effect that is essential in all styles of music.
Some of the Strobe applications are:
- Add rhythmic gate effects onto synth, bass and pad sounds.
- Create classic effects like tremolo and pumping.
- Apply beat slicing onto rhythmic parts.

Strobe is immediately available as a 32/64-bit AudioUnit plug-in for Mac OS X Leopard, Snow Leopard or Lion. It normally costs $19 but can be purchased with a 30% holiday discount until 1st January, 2012.
