full bucket music has released deputy Mark II, a freeware 70′s string machine instrument in VSTi plugin format for Windows.

The deputy Mark II is a VST2.4 software instrument for Windows in the tradition of classic string machines and early “polyphonic” synthesizers, written in native C++ code.

The deputy emulates an instrument that might have been built this way in the 1970s. Due to technical and economical reasons it would have been a compromise between which features a musician expected, what he was willing to pay for it, and what fitted in a single box. It is (technically speaking, and as to nowadays standards) a fairly limited instrument. However, I strongly believe that technical limitation can be a source of great creativity. Prost!

deputy Mark II is available for free download via full bucket music.
