Tracktion Waveform 9 Music Production
Software
Tracktion Corporation has released the ninth generation of its Waveform
DAW. Included in the latest release is a range of new features, add-ons,
and additional content to improve workflows and inspire creativity.
Waveform now offers a library of exclusive 24-track drum loop
construction kits. Users can combine this with the new Multi Sampler
“one button” import/slice tool to dissect the beats and re-arrange them
to produce alternative and unorthodox ideas.
Waveform 9’s Multi Sampler Instrument with workflow enhance-
ments makes it simpler and faster for users to develop, create, and build
musical content without the need for presets. Used in conjunction with
the multi-screen set-ups of the new Modular Mixing Tool, this helps users
customize the interface.
The expanded capabilities of the MIDI pattern generator include a
global chord track, a custom plug-in faceplate designer, macro param-
eters, and track loops/presets.

Cling On Pickup
California-based Cling On has released its namesake pickup, which won
the Best in Show honour at the 2018 NAMM Show in the Add On and
Accessories category.
The Cling On Pickup is a compact passive piezo pickup with a
patented ultra-quick and easy magnetic attachment. It does not require
any modification to the instrument or any lengthy installation. The ability
to install multiple magnetic bases in different areas of the soundboard
allows the musician to move the pickup around the soundboard easily
and on the fly in search of a different tone and sound. It comes with a
detachable portable cable and a built-in volume control. Each pickup
comes with a small and very light magnetic base that is attached un-
derneath the soundboard on the inside of the guitar via tacky putty. It’s
removable, reusable, and can be easily re-positioned. The constant pres-
sure that the magnets create on the soundboard enables more direct,
balanced, and accurate transfer of the vibrations from the soundboard to
the pickup.
