06.12.2009 Release of TAL-Filter 1.20
TAL releases TAL-Filter v. 1.20. Envelope- and lfo amount parameters preset loading issue on some hosts fixed.
Release of TAL-Elek7ro
Version 2.00. Version 2.00 has a lot of changes that also affects the filter and envelope character. Therefore we decided to make a complete new version of the plugin that runs parallel to previous versions. Important changes are the new filter types (18dB LP, 24dB LP, 24dB HP, 24 dB BP) that have a smooth warm and almost artefact free sound. We also could reduce the CPU usage.
Bugfixes / Changes:
Completely new filter types, 18dB LP, 24dB LP, 24dB HP, 24 dB BP (Version 2.0).
Completely new envelope (Version 2.0).
CPU optimations (Version 2.0).

02.11.2009 Logic Pro 9 Hyper Sets for TAL-Plugins
Logic Pro 9 Hyper Sets for 3 TAL synths , and 6 effect plugins:
Release of TAL-Elek7ro
Version 1.20. Big improvements in the included U-No-62 24dB and BassLine 18dB filters. There was an issue in the volume correction curve of this filters. The oscillators now nearly have the same volume with low and a lot resonance as in the U-No-62 and TAL-BassLine plugin.
Volume correction in U-No-62 and TAL-BassLine filter type fixed.
The plugin now always checks the current sample rate before processing a buffer.
DP (from The Netherlands): "I used several instances of TAL-Elek7ro, TAL-BassLine and U-No-62 for giving my track the spice it needed. The plug-ins of Togu Audio Line sound very good and are great to work with!"
Joshua D. Pomeroy: "The drums are samples running to a bus with 2 instances of Tal-Tube. I also use Tal-USE on the snare to give more snappy highs. Tal-Bassline for the bass with Tal-USE to fatten it up. Lead synth is Tal-Elec7ro with some reverb and delay. I used P8 for the string synth and ran it through Tal-Chorus 60. There's a cymbal loop that I used Tal-USE on to bring out more highs and turn down any sub."
18.09.2009 Release of TAL-Elek7ro 1.11 and Final release TAL-Reverb 1.00
TAL-Elek7ro 1.11
Release of TAL-Elek7ro
Version 1.11. Includes some bug fixes and the awesome U-No-62 24 dB filter and BassLine's 18 dB filter.
I'm sorry for that fast 1.11 update. Had some free time today... :) This update does not affect the overall sound of the filters, its just a little detail in the non-linear filters stages that i had to improve.
Improved filter sound at high resonance (sounds a little bit more analogue now). (Verison 1.11)
New filter types (U-No-62 24 dB, TAL-BassLine 18 dB)
Hanging notes in poly mode fixed.
Possible click at the end of long release times fixed.
This update does not affect old presets.
TAL-Reverb 1.00
Final release of TAL-Reverb version 1.00. This updates enhances the sound of TAL-Reverb. Thanks to all user inputs that helped to improve this plate reverb effect:
This update maybe affects the sound of your presets if you worked with an other sampling rate as 44100Hz!
19.07.2009 - The current project: TAL-Reverb
We had to read a lot of papers and already put a lot of work into this reverb effect.As always, the effect will only have few knobs for tuning and should be very easy to use (no early reflection stuff). The goal is to make a musical modeled reverb effect, that is suitable for all kind of audio material. There should be no artefacts also with short percusion sounds or peaks and the effect should use not much CPU. A short demo mp3 with some test signals(short click, guitar, synth) and too much reverb ;) This demo shows the whole audio spectrum of the reverb without any equalizer:
Release of TAL-BassLine version 1.4.0. After some user feedbacks, that the filter in version 1.1 sounded better, we had to make some changes to the filter again. The problem in version 1.1 was the aliasing, that occoured in the self oscillating filter(full resonance) at high cutoff frequencies with a 44100Hz sampling rate. Now we have no aliasing and a really good self oscillation filter sound, we think :)
Release of TAL-Elek7ro Version 1.02. Includes a key trigger mode for oscillator 1 and 2. Useful for percussion and drum sounds. This release also includes some bug fixes and 14 new factory presets by xenos:
Osc 1 and osc 2 key trigger option (if one trigger is enabled, the subosc is triggered too). (1.02)
Filter slur while playing the first note and in program change - fixed. (1.02)
14 new factory presets by xenos. (1.02)
06.06.2009 Demo Tune by Francesco
A other cool demo tune made with TAL plugins by Francesco (TAL-Elek7ro for synths + your effects: bitcrusher, Tube, DUB, DUB-II, Flanger, Phaser and Chorus-60). Only the hat and snare are not made with TAL products:
TAL-Elek7ro is a virtual analog synth with some special features like
oscillator hardsync and frequncy modulation. Including improved alias
free oscillators, new developed fast envelopes and lfo's with a wide
range from 0.1Hz up to 400 Hz. A free routable envelope with attack and
decay is available too. This synth is useful for a wide range of sounds
from percusion to deep bass sounds.
Some features:
2 oscillators with hardsync, PW and FM (saw, pulse, triangle, sine).
1 sub oscillator (saw, rectangle).
1 noise oscillator.
18dB or 12dB non linear analog modelled low pass resonance filter.
Mono mode, including portamento.
Poly mode, up to 6 voices (not cpu optimized for poly mode).
Included factory presets - i'm shure, you do it better :-).
18.03.2009 - Release of TAL-USE alias TiltEq
After some trademark problems, TAL-TiltEq is now renamed to TAL-USE (Ultra Simple Eq). Also a bug with the RTAS adapter under OSX is fixed now.
New plugin name.
OSX RTAS Adapter issue fixed (GUI not responding)
Logic Pro users have to clear some cache files to get the new plugin name, but its not required.
13.03.2009 - TAL-TiltEq tredemark issue
The tilt eq isnt available anymore. TILT is a trademark of an other company. We have to change the name of this plugin. The plugin will be available as soon it has an other name.
05.03.2009 - Release of TAL-TiltEq
Release of TAL-TiltEq! An easy way to make a sound darker or brighter, without tweeking 100 knobs. 16.02.2009 - New Tal-BassLine presets by Risome from Syikom
Releases version 1.0 of TAL-Bitcrusher. Its a common bitcrusher with some useful additions. There is a
low- and highshelf EQ and a noise cross modulator included. Its maybe
useful on drums, especially hats and for distorted leads.
Adjustable bit-depth (0..32 bit).
Adjustable sample rate divisor (up to / 512).
Noise cross modulator.
24 dB low- and high shelf filter.
10 presets for bass, leads and drums.
Low CPU.
Available in VST's and AU versions.
22.11.2008 - Final Cut fix (Audio Unit)
Final Cut crash fixed. There is an update available for all Audio Units:
09.11.2008 - Important TAL-Vocoder update (version 1.10), VST and Audio Unit
We released version 1.10 of TAL-Vocoder that includes some important bugfixes. Fixes the preset saving problem in the VST plugin on MAC PPC. Fixes an initialization issue that could lead to loud noises in all plugin formats.
Version 1.10:
Fixes issue with saved presets (only on VST MAC PPC).
Fixes feedback noise problem, that occoured on some systems (all formats).
For Mac PPC VST users: There
was a problem in the save procedure of the presets, that leaded to
corrupt presets. You have to delete and recreate presets from an older
TAL-Vocoder version. If you use the VST 3 preset Manager of Cubase, you can reset
the existing presets. Use Convert Program List To VST Presets and
reset the folder so that Cubase would only see the factory presets from
the replaced unit.
I'm sorry for that issue.
We thank all peoples for the feebacks and for your support.
13.09.2008 - Release of TAL-Vocoder, VST and Audio Unit
TAL-Vocoder is a vintage vocoder emulation with 11 bands that emulates the sound of vocoders from the early 80’s.

meyer musicmedia releases 32 free high quality VST presets for TAL-BassLine. The Soundset is designed by Christian Meyer. An audio preview of the presets is available too.
Release of TAL-BassLine version 1.2.1. Improved filter sound while using a lot of resonance. The filter now sweeps up to 16kHhz. Self resonance isn't that loud anymore. Portamento is now easier to adjust.
Please notice that you may have to readjust the volume, portamento and the resonance intensity in older presets.
This is the last update that have influence to the sound of the synth. I think the synth sounds now as he should :)
Changes in Version 1.2.1
Improved filter resonance (sweeps now up to 16kHz). (version 1.2.0)
Release of TAL-BassLine version 1.1.0. Improved filter sound and PW modulation are the main changes in this release. Has a slight different sound as the prior version and uses a bit more CPU because the 2 x oversampled filter- the old version is still available.
Changes in Version 1.1.0
More high frequencies in the oscillators.
Improved filter (2 x oversampled for better sound, uses a bit more CPU).
TAL-U-No-62 version 1.4 released. Fixes some denormalisation problem (CPU spikes). PC and OS X plug-ins updated.

04.07.2008 - Some news to fill the summer slump :)
That picture shows the idea of the next project. I hope its finished in some weeks or months. Its an improved version of TAL-Dub and should have the following improvements:
Adjustable dirstortion stage.
Level meter to control the distortion value.
4x or 2x oversampled.
Should be possible to make very clean but also very distorted delays.
A panorama pot for the output.
Some special modes.
24.06.2008 - TAL-U-No-62 Version 1.3 released
The update includes some improvements in the voice management. The number of voices is adjustable now. This is useful for saving CPU especially for notes with long release times. A panic button for resetting hanging notes is also available now.
Fixed "out of tune" problem in some hosts. TAL-Dub had the same problem and was a bit out of sync under some conditions. The following updates are available:
27.05.2008 - All Audio Unit effects updated - OS X 10.5.1 compatibility
Changed all effect plugins, because apple has changed some things in the new AU validator that installs with OS X 10.5.1. To get the plugins valid, i had to remove the mono -> stereo routing. Hope that does not hurt to bad:
U-No-62 is an improved and completely refactored version of U-No-60. It's free as always. For people that like the unique sound of the 80's synths. Improvements:
More accurate filter sound.
More overtones in the oscillators.
Faster LFO rate (0.1-30HZ).
A lot faster envelopes.
Audio Unit available.
Presets are not compatible with U-No-60 Presets.
Some audio examples comparing the real juno 60 with this one:
I'm currently working on an improved and refactored version of U-No-60, the U-No-62. This one should be more accurate and has a complete new fast envelope and an over-worked filter design. I will release VST and Audio Unit versions of that synth.
27.04.2008 - TAL-BassLine update and beta Audio Unit
We released AudioUnit beta versions of TAL-BassLine.
We also changed the characteristic of the envelope a bit. The envelope is now harder and more direct. The changes doesn't affect the overal sound of existing presets.
We would be happy if you can give us a short feedback if the plugin does not work as expected.
The automation stuff took a lot of time. Now I'm working on the TAL-BassLine AudioUnit. It plays already MIDI, but there are still a lot of tiny things to do. The release of a first beta version will be next week, if no big technical problems appear.
20.04.2008 - All Audio Unit's updated
Added full support for Logic's automation and control surface.
Thanks a lot for your feedbacks. We released an update of TAL-Flanger. This effect didnt appear in hosts like Logic. This is fixed now. There was an issue in the info.plist files inside the component.
Sorry for the issue and thanks a lot for feedback.
