    K Brown Synth Plugins
    All are free - download the plugins here :
    ln.sync.com/dl/3e98951a0/n5wwiugq-h56gdr85-tg9bwmnj-htz7j7dr

    For those who don't have a Digital Audio Workstation or any kind of plugin host on their computer, and are just curious and would like to play around with these, I highly recommend Hermann Seib's free little applet, vstHost available here:
    www.hermannseib.com/english/vsthost.htm
    You won't even need a MIDI keyboard connected to your computer.

    Find me on KVR as 'KBplugs'

    The plugs are 32-bit, Windows-only; they cannot be made Mac-compatible because they were made with Synthmaker, which doesn't support it. To use these on a 64-bit system, there's jBridge : jstuff.wordpress.com/jbridge/

    Synsonic BD-808

    [​IMG]

    The Synsonic Instruments BD-808 Software-Plugin is useful for creating 808-style Bass Drum Sounds.

    The underlying signal processing is based on a detailed analysis of the original 808 Bass Drum circuit.

    With the MIDI-Control it is also possible to use the plugin as a Bass Synthesizer.

    Originally the 808 Bass Drum has the following parameters for soundshaping:

    Accent: Strength of the drum sound
    Level: Output level
    Decay: Duration of the drum sound
    Tone: Amount of attack-click

    Additionally the Synsonic Instruments BD-808 offers the following useful soundshaping possibilities:

    Tune: Tuning in halftones
    Fine: Tuning in cents
    LongDecay: Extends decay range
    MidiSync-Tune: Tune depends on played Midi-Note
    MidiSync-Accent: Accent depends on Velocity of played Midi-Note

    With the MIDI Learn function you can assign any MIDI-Controller to a parameter of the Bass Drum.

    there's also a 909 :D
    it's kinda donationware, so buy them a cup o coffee

    Sonic Anomaly Transpire

    [​IMG]

    Transpire is a transient processor. It can enhance or dampen the initial attack and the sustain (body) of sound. Transpire has been designed to work well with drums and percussion.

    • Attack enhance or dampen.
    • Sustain enhance or dampen.
    • Sensitivity controls the amount of details which Transpire can process. Small sensitivity will suit better for non-percussive material.
    • Output is hard clipped at -0.1dB.

    Spiral Generator (FREE) v1.00
    Fractal Synth for Mac & Win
    [​IMG]


    This is the first in a series of oscilloscope-music inspired products and pairs perfectly with PrettyScope. Spiral Generator uses an algorithm created by Jerobeam Fenderson. There will be more advanced 2D and 3D synthesizers in the future for serious music production and sound design.
    • Features Jerobeam Fenderson's very own algorithm which generates a fractal spiral that is infinitely zoomable by modulating the "Morph" parameter.
    • All parameters automatable.
    • Creates some mean vocal basses.
    • Infinitely rotatable by modulating the "RotY" and "RotX" parameters.
    • Use the "ZAmount" parameter to engage chaotic feedback, great for sound design and fx.
    • 6 assignable LFOs
    • 5 Velocity-sensitive ADSRs (hard-wired for now)
    • Selectable oversampling from 1x to 8x (I could increase that range if needed)
    • Soft-clipper at the output will saturate the signal as you increase the output gain.
