Introduction
Usine is a universal audio software especially designed for live or studio utilisation. Usine was originally created by a musician (Olivier Sens) and audio engineers to respond to their specific problems in a lot of domains like live sampling, effect processing or sound design. Usine is a real musical instrument, flexible and powerful if you like to transform, resample the sound on stage, improvise and create unusual effect.
Usine is an patch oriented sound software where you can add plug-ins and connect them without restriction. The main purpose of this program is to provide a real time analysis of an input signal and then react with, and modify plug-in parameters to produce the sound.
Features
* Build modular sound processing: creates patch with "modules" and connect them by virtual wires very simply.Analyse input or generated sound, for example pitch, peaks or dynamics to create adaptive effects, modify any parameter in real time.
* Use the built-in virtual mixing table to mix the sound produced by different patches on each tracks (up to 16).Organize patches, sounds, and effects on a timeline with the sequencer mode. Create complex automations curves. Very powerful Modular Mixing concept
* Unlimited number of internal audio buses.
* SMPTE synchronization with external sequencers. MIDI Time Code and MIDI Machine Control support.
* Create huge, creative or stupid audio routing within the mixing table. For example, routing, a patch output to another patch input, or create a virtual master effect send and return, etc.
* Manage 20 external audio sources (10 stereo) and apply different effects to any of them.
* Create flexible Surround (up to 16 channels) projects: all audio tracks are 7.1, 8.0 or 16.0. The output sound can routed to any of the 20 available outputs, depending on your sound card.
* Create inserts patches on any input / output channels. For example a master limiter or a master reverb.
*Complete VST® processing: You can use any VST instruments or effect in patches and modify any VST Parameter in real time. Create a front-end simple interface.
* Complete MIDI automation: assign any Usine visual object to a midi controller very simply by using the midi-learn command.
* Complete integration of motorized external controllers.
* Complete MIDI input/output management, for VSTi instruments or external expanders.
* Load up to 256 patches in memory in a "grid" and activate them as you want in real time.
* Synchronize patches and VST plug-ins with a master tempo. Use unusual and absurd tempo from 0! To 10000000000!
* Record your creations directly on the hard disk in real time: separate tracks, inputs and outputs.
* All Usine functions are "real-time", and you can resample, modify, input sound on the fly.
* Of course, save patches, complete workspaces, and configurations, for a very quick adaptation to different projects.
* Use any sample rate, depending on your Asio sound card. Usine has a 32 bit floating point audio engine.
* Unlimited number of internal Audio, Data and Midi buses,
* Unlimited Undo/Redo.
* Include scripting capabilities to create complex patches in a Pascal-like language,
* Full Open Sound Control (OSC) compatibility to communicate with other computers connected to the network or Internet,
* If you are a C++ or Delphi programmer you can easily create new users modules with the API.

Interpunk is an online store that specializes in punk and other underground music. The store is built in such a way as to allow bands and record labels to sell their products directly through the site.
History
Interpunk was started in 1997 by two fans of punk rock. It began in a closet with $200 worth of Screeching Weasel shirts and CDs, and eventually moved to a bedroom, then a basement, then to a warehouse. After tons of hard work and countless sleepless nights Interpunk grew into being one of the largest punk rock stores in the world. It now has 30 full-time employees.

Mansinthe is the signature brand of absinthe developed by Marilyn Manson. In contradiction to popular belief Mansinthe does contain wormwood, there is no 'sans wormwood version. It was in non-consecutive development for two years before it's launch on August 25, 2007. It is a distilled, highly alcoholic, anise-flavored spirit derived from herbs, including the flowers and leaves of the medicinal plant Artemisia absinthium, also called grand wormwood. Like all conventional brands of absinthe, Mansinthe is not bottled with added sugar and is, therefore, classified as a liquor or spirit, and not a liqueur. A standard bottle contains a 66.6% alcohol volume, while the Prototype 35 bottle contains a 68% alcohol volume.
Mansinthe is typically green by natural colors and without any artificial ingredients. It originates from Switzerland, and is like absinthe, an elixir or tincture. Conventional absinthe is better known for its popularity in late 19th and early 20th century France, particularly among Parisian artists and writers whose romantic associations with the drink still linger in popular culture. At the height of this popularity, absinthe was portrayed as a dangerously addictive, psychoactive drug; the chemical thujone was blamed for most of its deleterious effects. By 1915, it was banned in a number of European countries and the United States. Even though it was vilified, no evidence shows it to be any more dangerous or psychoactive than ordinary alcohol. A modern absinthe revival began in the 1990s, as countries in the European Union began to reauthorize its manufacture and sale. Because Mansinthe does not contain traces of wormwood, it is certainly authorized for purchase and consumption in the United States, and most other countries that have strict laws regarding products containing the substance.
Availability
Pre-release
80 limited edition numbered bottles of Mansinthe were made available from the Gallery Schenk in Cologne, Germany. Of the 80 bottles, a small portion had been autographed; the prices of 300 euros unsigned and 500 euros signed reflect these short production numbers. The Prototype version numbered 35 with an alcohol content of 68% has been available for 30 euros.
Official release
On August 25, 2007, Mansinthe was officially released, according to it's official website . The drink can be purchased on several online shops throughout Europe.
Trivia
* The label on the bottle features one of Marilyn Manson's paintings, When I Get Old.
