Press Releases / ZenAud.io : Jun 5, 2018
Plugivery Distribution are today proud to announce their partnership with zenAud.io the creators of ALK, "the software looper that knows your arrangement"; bringing ALK and future products from zenAud.io to global markets and Pro Audio resellers worldwide.

zenAud.io, a fairly new company to the industry, founded in 2017 and Plugivery Distribution, a leading distributor of audio software and virtual instruments, are proud to announce their partnership. zenAud.io’s mission is to give live musicians the tools to compete sonically with electronic acts. Their flagship product, zenAud.io ALK, is meticulously designed to relieve the performer of all unnecessary burdens, freeing them to concentrate on what they do best: perform.

ALK2 is a cross between a sequencer and a looper. Like a traditional looper, clips are performed live and subsequently looped to create layers of sound. Like in a sequencer, the loops can be drawn, moved, copied, cut and pasted in a musical arrangement.

When it’s time to perform the song, ALK will follow your arrangement, pressing the necessary virtual pedals to arm channels, trigger effects, and record and play loops at the right time.

Features :

ALK2 has an arranged live-looping workflow. ALK allows quick and easy arrangement of where you want to perform live, using Record Loops, and where you want it to play back, using Play Loops. Build up your song structures in minutes!

Its loop sequence view lets you take in your entire arrangement at a glance. You can break away from endlessly layered loops and create structures: verses, choruses, b-sections and solos.

MIDI looping is supported out of the box, giving you the ability to create loops using your entire array of software synths and beat machines. Adjust the tightness of your groove on the fly using ALK2’s elastic quantize feature, simply by turning a dial.

Symmetric Routing is ALK2’s answer to traditional mixer channels and effects sends/returns. Any track (audio or MIDI) can act as a mixer or group, and an effect send simply becomes a regular output!

There is support for all VST/AudioUnit effects and instruments, allowing you to live loop with all your signature sounds. Plugins can be automated from the arrangement, or controlled with your favorite MIDI controller.

ALK2’s Magnetic Note Repeat automatically smooths out notes triggered off-grid, easing them gradually into lockstep. Perfect for laying out a four-on-the-floor kick drum or eighth-note hi-hat pattern on the fly.

You can draw accurate automation using intuitive trackpad gestures. Using a combination of mouse position, horizontal and vertical swipe gestures, and rotation gestures, you can control the shape of your curve. Adding control points for more precision is as easy as clicking within the region.

ALK2's approach to performed automation, like filter or reverb sweeps, is to treat the knob, pad, or pedal as an instrument in its own right: on its own track. Routings are dynamic and can be changed over a song or set, so a single knob could control a filter sweep in one song, and a reverb sweep in the next.

With ALK2's panic features, you don't need to worry about making the occasional mistake. Through a click of a pedal, you can have a perfectly played reference version of the loop replace it - useful for when you absolutely need the song to progress.

With hover auditioning, changing sounds is as easy as hovering the mouse over the track in question. However, it's still possible to leave monitoring on or off by switching to manual auditioning in the track's context menu.
