Free VST UI knobs and sliders for knobman (& Targa)
Time for knobs! free ones as a matter of fact. They can be used in VST’s, or programs that let you script your own interface (Max MSP, Reaktor etc). In the free zip you’ll find different sizes of knobs and and a slider. The formats are Targa and knobmans .knob files. Knobman is a nice free, and easy to use program designed for making stitched images and comes with all the right tools to make a semi realistic knob. There are excellent knobs by a japanese Knobman user called AZ (Moog to 303 style knobs). The knobs I made are a bit futuristic ;) The knobs will be used for the...
Read MoreFree Kick Maker (VST)
While working on a sample pack (Electro Tech Vol.01) I have been synthesizing my ass off. Doing kicks and snares with a hybrid of acoustic and sytnhetic sources I eneded up downloading this plugin created by Teragon Audio. A nice company that also has some tut’s about creating your own VST host. The plugin is simpel and effective. There are 4 OSC’s and a general ADSR. No filtering or shaping tools besides the modulations so a acoustic sample is needed to give it some much needed presence in the higher...

Some of you might have heard about this plugin already on sites like KVR. There’s been a lot of buzz around this project. From what I can gather (most discussions about it are in German, not my native language) it’s a synth based on the ACE quasi analog modeling engine (on cirquit level, what ever that means in 0 and 1′s) by U-He (Zebra, ACE etc). I might just make some presets with it for you all, if it’s as good as the hype makes us believe. Just in time for Musikmesse 2011, we are very proud to present you the first AMAZONA.de synthesizer, TYRELL Nexus 6. TYRELL...
Read MoreThe Best Free Audio Analyzers
When doing Sound design or mixdowns, it’s important to know which part of the spectrum is being used by a channel. Working with a analyzer makes it easier to group audio into one channel and control your mix better, without losing an overview. It allows you to work with subtractive EQing on a much more accurate level and keep an eye on your db scale across the spectrum if you have a good analyzer. Lucky for us there is a big choice in the freeware department, among commercial and open source developers alike. A round up, in no particular order: Roger Nichols Inspector Roger Nichols...
Read MorereFuse Releases Free Synth “Swarm”
The makers of the excellent sub harmonic synth Lowender now come with a free synth based on the Swarmatron. Most of the other freebies on the website are only for the now defunct pluggo by Cycling74. The Swarm is based around a bank of eight oscillators that start out tuned in unison. Using the Span knob, you can continuously stretch out that cluster of notes from unison to, at the widest setting, evenly spaced harmonic multiples. Along the way, all kinds of dissonant tones and beat frequencies are created. We have released The Swarm as a standalone application only. It is not available as a...
