Nembrini Audio Releases Quinta Pitch Machine Plugin
Quinta Pitch Machine by Nembrini Audio
The Quinta Pitch Machine plugin is more than your standard octave in that it not only gives you notes an octave up and an octave down, but also gives you a fifth up. Analog saturation circuits digital reproduction specialist Nembrini Audio is proud to announce the availability of Quinta Pitch Machine — making for an octave pedal-style plug-in with a difference by (virtual) virtue of adding a self-explanatory +1 FIFTH control to the standard octave up/down capabilities of most hardware octaves, other than the diminutive Danish model from which it draws some software inspiration with a knowing nod of appreciation.
- Octave up, octave down, 5th up
- Individual volume controls, plus master mix
- Replicate organ, synth or 12-string sound
- Play power chords on a single note
Obviously octave pedals transpose guitar signals up or down by an octave, providing the perfect effect to thicken up the sound of guitar riffs. Clearly classic octave-doubling sounds awesome, as evidenced by numerous classic recordings, but throwing in a fifth up in addition to the standard octave up/down capabilities of most hardware octavers gives guitarists so much more sonic scope for creating a whole new world. Which is exactly where Quinta Pitch Machine comes into play as an octave pedal-style plug-in with a difference — by bringing an additional +1 FIFTH control to the mix.
Musically, each of the three intervals available to Quinta Pitch Machine users can be dialled in individually via volume controls — +1 OCTAVE adding a note that is one octave higher than the note being played on the treated instrument, -1 OCTAVE adding a note that is one octave lower than the note being played, and +1 FIFTH adding a note that is a fifth higher than the note being played, so sonic possibilities include organ-, synth-, and 12-string guitar-type sounds. Single note- played power chords come naturally as another outcome, of course.
Control continues with MIX, which adjusts the balance between the natural (dry) signal coming from the instrument being played and the configuration of added octaves and fifths set via those three volume controls to create the desired pitch- shifted sound, while the ‘LED’ at the top of the colourful GUI (Graphical User Interface) indicates when the effect is on or off, working in conjunction with the photorealistic stomp switch — to turn the effect on or off. On or OFF also applies to the HIGH Q switch; when it is activated, the pitch shift algorithm works in high quality — albeit introducing latency which will be compensated for by the DAW (Digital Audio Workstation).
Whatever way anyone chooses to work with it, Quinta Pitch Machine manifestly looks like a hardware octave pedal. Put it this way: with Nembrini Audio’s acclaimed digital reproduction of analogue circuits at its creative core, clearly it behaves and sounds like one, too — realistically rendered in software as an octave pedal-style plug-in with a difference. Similarly straightforward in operation, it is as easy as installing it to run with any AAX-, AU-, VST2, and VST3-compatible host — having first purchased it at an attractive price that will far from break the bank!

Guitar Amplifier FAQs
What is a Guitar Amplifier?
A guitar amplifier will increase the volume of your guitar and produce sound that sounds great. There are many different types of amps, including tube, solid-state, solid body, hollow body (acoustic), semi-hollow body electric guitars as well as basses with active pickups or piezo systems.
What Is the Difference Between a Tube and Solid-State Amplifier?
Tube amplifiers typically have a warm, natural sound with more distortion, while solid state amplifiers are brighter with less distortion. Tube amps are also heavier and require more maintenance than solid state amps.
How Do I Know What Type of Guitar Amplifier Is Best for Me?
That depends on a few factors, including the type of music you play, how loud you want to be, and your budget. There are many different types of guitar amps available, so it’s best to do some research to find the one that is right for you.
What Are Some Common Features of Guitar Amplifiers?
Many guitar amplifiers include features like an equalizer, reverb, and chorus to help you shape your sound. Some amps also have built-in effects pedals, which can add a variety of sounds to your music. Others include auxiliary inputs for plugging in a CD player or other devices so you can jam along with your favorite songs.
What Is the Difference Between a Guitar Amplifier and An Acoustic Amp?
Acoustic amps are designed to amplify the sound of acoustic instruments like guitars, while electric amps are specifically made for amplifying electric guitars. The best choice depends on what type of music you play and how much power you need from your amp. You can use either one for practice or performing live at venues with other musicians.
What Is the Difference Between a Combo Amp and Head/cabinet System?
A combo amplifier combines both the head (the power source) and cabinet (the speakers) into one unit that can be transported as a single piece. It’s ideal if you plan on playing small gigs where lugging around heavy equipment isn’t practical or want something portable to travel with. A head and cabinet system allows you to mix and match different cabinets and heads to get the perfect sound for your setup. You can also upgrade your amp down the line by changing out just the head or cabinet.
How Do I Connect My Guitar Amplifier?
Most guitar amplifiers have a ¼” input for connecting your electric guitar, as well as a ⅛” auxiliary input for plugging in other devices like a CD player or drum machine. Some amps also have RCA inputs for connecting components like a TV or computer. There are usually two channels, each with its own volume control, so you can easily adjust the level of each instrument independently. The most common output is an XLR connector, which is used to send the signal to PA speakers or recording equipment.
What Is an Effects Loop?
An effects loop is a feature that allows you to plug in external effects pedals and processors between the preamp (where gain and tone controls are located) and power amp of your guitar amplifier. This lets you add extra distortion, reverb, chorus or other sound-altering tools after all of the other components have had their say but before they reach your ears as part of the final mix.
How Do I Use My Guitar Amplifier with Headphones?
Most modern amplifiers have a ¼” headphone output for connecting headphones directly into the unit itself, so you can play without disturbing others around you. If there isn’t one built into your amp already then check out our selection of headphone preamps, which can be used with any amp that has a standard ¼” output jack.
What Is the Difference Between Tube and Solid State Amps?
Tube amplifiers have a warm sound with more distortion, while solid state amplifiers are brighter sounding and produce less distortion. Tube amps also require more maintenance than solid state amps because their components need to be replaced every few years or so (depending on how often you use them).
How Do I Know What Kind of Amplifier Is Best for Me?
That depends on several factors including the type of music you play, how loud you want to be, and your budget. There are many different types of guitar amps available so it’s best to do some research before deciding on one. You can check out our guide to choosing the right guitar amp for more information about how they compare with each other and what kind might work best in your situation.
What Is the Difference Between a Tube and Solid State Amplifier?
Tube amps produce warm sound and have more distortion, while solid state amplifiers are brighter sounding and produce less distortion. Tube amps also require more maintenance than their counterparts because their components need to be replaced every few years or so (depending on how often you use them).

Nembrini Audio Launches Shimmer Delay Ambient Machine – Out-of-this-world Soundscapes Tool
Out-of-this-world Soundscapes Tool
Nembrini Audio sends shimmers down DAWs with out-of-this-world soundscapes and spaces-creating Shimmer Delay Ambient Machine plug-in. The analog saturation circuits digital reproduction specialist Nembrini Audio issued Shimmer Delay Ambient Machine — sending shimmers down DAWs (Digital Audio Workstations) by blending reverb, pitch shifting, and feedback to generate out-of-this-world soundscapes and spaces as a plug-in promoting getting lost in the creative production and electronic music facets of the ambient spectrum, drawing deeply from creative techniques developed by early-Eighties studio engineers.
Prominently generalized by British musician Brian Eno — completely responsible for naming the genre itself with his 1978- released Ambient 1: Music For Airports album (comprising compositions created by layering tape loops of differing lengths, designed to be continuously looped as a sound installation with the intent of defusing the tense, anxious atmosphere of an airport), ambient music is typically thought of as a style of gentle, largely electronic instrumental music with no persistent beat, used to create or enhance a mood or atmosphere. No need (necessarily) to go anywhere near an airport terminal to work with Nembrini Audio’s self-styled ambient machine, although it is perfectly possible to achieve a truly ambient atmosphere almost anywhere since Shimmer Delay Ambient Machine is also available in an iOS-friendly form on the App Store.
No need (necessarily) to work without beats when working with Shimmer Delay Ambient Machine. After all, the plug-in promotes getting lost in the creative production and electronic music facets of the ambient spectrum, drawing deeply from creative techniques developed by early-Eighties studio engineers.
Equally adept at working with guitars, keyboards, synthesizers, and vocals, it combines reverb, pitch shifting, and feedback to create out-of-this-world soundscapes and spaces via an easy-to-use interface implemented as an equally easy-on-the-eye experience, emphasizing user control and playability.
Indeed, it is designed to be tweaked in real-time with no-nonsense controls clearly guiding the way with some self-explanatory sections acting as their helpful home — namely, IN (input level metering); SWELL (auto-volume swell commonly used with electric guitar, similar to the sound of a violin being bowed); DELAY (main delay); down OCTAVE (manages a down octave); SHIMMER (manages the shimmer effect); DRY/WET (manages the dry/wet signal blend); and OUT (output level metering). Moreover, all controls have a smoothed response to avoid clicks when changing settings or applying automation, while the highly-optimized main delay algorithm allows anyone to achieve huge delay sounds without straining their CPU (Central Processing Unit).
Ultimately, Shimmer Delay Ambient Machine more than lives up to its apt appellation — and all without straining the finances of anyone wishing to take a (purchasing) plunge into the creative production and electronic music facets of the ambient spectrum!
Great for guitars, keys, synths, samples, and vocals, Shimmer Delay Ambient Machine promotes getting lost in creative production and electronic music facets of the ambient spectrum. Swell crescendo means to start at a low volume and then swell to a much louder level, which is similar the sound of a violin being bowed. Now you get those sweeping swells from your guitar using the auto swell section of the Shimmer Delay Ambient Machine.
The Shimmer Delay Ambient Machine user interface is designed with an emphasis on user control and playability.
Shimmer Delay Ambient Machine has been designed to be tweaked in real time. All of the sliders have a smoothed response, to avoid clicks when changing settings or automating the controls. At the same time, the algorithm has been highly optimized, so you get a huge delay sound without straining your CPU.
