    Hello @pixel13, I have another emulation of the Yamaha CS-80 for your website:

    Krakli - Arminator2 VSTi
    www.getdunne.net/Krakli/vst.php?id=Arminator2
    www.getdunne.net/Krakli/

    Arminator2 is a stunning homage to the legendary Yamaha CS-80, and it's one of the best emulations you'll find that is completely free. It's designed to capture the power of the original instrument, although it cannot be considered a perfect recreation. The developers have made some improvements to ensure Arminator2 offers some unique capabilities and sounds that make it stand out from its predecessor.

    The scaling of various controls has been improved for more precise control over sounds, and the LFO can now be synced to keypress events for added flexibility. KeySplit allows users to layer different patches across 10 octaves and has increased range over the original Yamaha CS-80. KeyTracking is now available on both the LowPass and HighPass filters for more dynamic sound shaping. Additionally, the Sine oscillator in the Line Amp can now also be set as a -1 or -2 octave sub for extra bass depths. Mono Poly mode can now be used on individual lines while a chorus effect has been added too – giving users another level of sonic manipulation. Lastly, envelope 2 has been enabled with up to 500ms delay from keypress events, making Arminator2 highly responsive and dynamic.

    In terms of user experience, Arminator2 features a rather small but functional GUI which can sometimes feel cramped – especially when compared to modern plug-ins with larger GUIs. However, this should not detract from its capabilities; Arminator2 is capable of producing stunningly rich sounds reminiscent of the original Yamaha CS-80. As an added bonus it's available as Windows 32bit plug-in free of charge – something that sets it apart from other recreations of this classic synth!

    So whether you're an existing Yamaha CS-80 owner looking for additional functionality or someone just getting started with synthesisers and want something special at no cost – Arminator2 could be just what you need! Download it directly from Krakli Software’s website today and start exploring its rich palette of sounds – limited only by your own creative imagination!

    Arminator2 is an amazing free VST, VST3 instrument for Windows 32bit which pays homage to the legendary Yamaha CS-80. Not only does it capture the power of this classic synth, but it also brings plenty of new features including improved scaling and LFO sync to keypress events. There's KeySplit across 10 octaves with extended range over the original CS-80 and KeyTracking on both filters. The Line Amp can now be set as -1 or -2 octave sub while Mono Poly mode has been added along with Chorus effect and envelopes with up to 500ms delay from keypress event – making Arminator2 highly responsive and dynamic! Download now directly from Krakli Software’s website today and start exploring its stunningly rich analog sounds!

    This definitely belongs on your website. It's nice to have one page for everything, worldwide. Users will thank you. iOS is great for on the go; synth fans can then make music on vacation or on the train (no synth withdrawal!). Have you submitted your website to Google so the search engine can find you?

    Hi everyone,

    I just wanted to share a small preview of what’s being prepared for the site. It’s taking on a new dimension on several fronts, and I’ll soon have some important announcements to make about it.

    To give you an idea of the direction it’s heading in, I’ve designed a prototype for a new type of instrument page (there are currently over 1000 instrument pages on the site).

    I’m not going to say more for now — I prefer to wait until everything is in place. But I promise I’ll be back very soon with more info.

    In the meantime, here’s the prototype. I’d really love to hear your feedback and suggestions. The goal is truly for this site to remain a tool serving all musicians and enthusiasts.

    And just as a reminder, the site is completely free and ad-free — and that won’t change.

    Thank you all, and see you soon!

    Hello @pixel13, here is another one for your Webpage:

    CHIPTUNE RESOURCES

    HyperSynths - SIDizer v1.4 VSTi - (32 Bit) jBridge
    www.hypersynth.com/sidizer.html

    SIDizer is a state-of-art emulation of the legendary SID chip in a form of a modern soft-synth. Using circuit modeling technology nearly all unique features of two versions (6581-8580) of the SID chip among their famous flaws are accurately modeled. This emulation focuses on simulating the nonlinear character of the SID filter and mimicking special 6581 distortion that mainly influences the alternation of filtered signal in a real SID chip. It offers additional envelopes, LFOs, mod-matrix, and a routable bit-cruncher for adding extra lo-fi sound quality.

    SIDizer GUI is inspired by HyperSID which offers easy tweaking for all parameters on a single page. It is not only a powerful instrument for creating chip-tune style but it can produce a unique type of analog sound colored with harmonic distortion that is suited for creating bass, lead, and drum sounds.
