TERA is a modular software synthesizer based on five different synthesis technologies including the the revolutionary Spectrum synthesis. This new synthesis allows the creation and manipulation of resonant bodies with up to 128 (!) formant frequencies. The innovative user interface of VirSyn TERA sets a new standard in design and functionality. This extremely simplifies the access to the huge sound space of its predecessor. The classical modulation matrix together with a simple method for patching modules with virtual cables makes operating the modular system of VirSyn TERA as easy as other synths with a fixed structure.
White Crow is a virtual monophonic synthesizer with a very distinctive sound (listen to the sound demos) that uses a unique synthesis method called Phase Distortion Synthesis. Phase distortion synthesis is a synthesis method introduced by Casio in its CZ range of synths. This synthesis method has an "analogue" character that can be described as clean and sharp. White Crow takes Phase Distortion a few steps further, with two super PD oscillators, phase distortion envelopes & LFO, special signal flow design and an advanced effects section.
White Crow VSTi, like the original Casio CZ synths, offers 8 basic waveforms: saw, square, pulse, doublesine, saw-pulse, reso1, reso2 and reso3. A second set of (identical) waveforms can be added to create new unusual waveforms.
Each of the two PD oscillators is made of 5 sub oscillators that can detuned for the creation of fat rich sounds. The phase distortion amount of each oscillator can be modulated by 2 ADSR envelopes, an LFO, and the velocity. This will affect the sound timbre over time instead of the regular filter modulations. You can also use the lowpass filter though, as an additional sound shaping tool.
White Crow includes an advanced effects section with Phaser, Chorus, Reverb, Distortion and two types of delays.
White Crow: phase distortion never sounded better!
Yuno 2 is a remake of the Yuno 1, now with Chorus / Ensemble, more modulations, Mono/Retrigger Mode, Keyboard playable by mouse and 8 voice polyphony. The plugin itself is free, but only for users of Muse Research's Receptor.
An amazingly fat and rich sounding virtual analog synthesizer with loads of parameters to build, finetune and finish your sounds. A great plugin to create a wide spectrum of possible sounds.
Designed to re-create the sound of a 'Theramin' and offering control either using a MIDI keyboard or using the mouse to drag the glowing spot across the 'chart' for more authentic 'Theramin' style play. Spook Keys also includes the following features:
* sine, sawtooth, triangle and pulse waves * variable key in and out response * variable LFO for vibrato and tremolo * pan, chorus (detuning), stereo spread and glide controls * filtered, ping-pong, stereo delay.
reViSiT inherits and extends the fast and powerful interface of Impulse Tracker 2 - allowing everything to be done with but few strokes of the PC keyboard, but adding an enlarged and graphical interface with intuitive and flexible mouse support. (*excluding mouse support)
Like all trackers, reViSiT is able to playback by itself. However, because reViSiT is coded as a VST plug-in, it can receive time code from its host and thus synchronise is playback: use a sequencer's transport bar to start playback or move the sequencer's playback cursor to a specific bar or note and reViSiT will adapt automatically. reViSiT will also be able to adapt to time signature and tempo changes. (*time signature not yet implemented)
As a VST plug-in, reViSiT assumes the audio quality of the host. So, if your host (e.g. Cubase) runs at 192kHZ, then so does reViSiT. Internal processing, however, is always processed at 32-bit - regardless of the host's output bit-depth. The net result is 64 (*32) tracks of exquisite low-latency audio quality.
When the tracker is playing, the resultant audio is piped back to the VST host as an audio track. Once there, it can be processed by all the facilities affored by the host, including VST and DirectX plug-ins. Furthermore, .WAV rendering becomes a thing of the past - the host will automatically process reViSiT's output when ever the user mixes (or bounces) the audio down, using the host's own features.
This is a simple VST plugin by Tobybear using the formant filter algorithm from Alex (alex @ smartelectronix).
VowelSynth is a VSTi that reacts to MIDI input by generating a (non-bandlimited) waveform (saw, square or noise) of the appropriate frequency and then filters this waveform with Alex' formant filter. Simple envelope and glide control is also included. VowelFilter is the effect version of this plugin which processes the audio input with the formant filter. If you have a host that can send MIDI notes to effect plugins, you can also use the effect plugin just like the regular synth: as soon as a MIDI note is received, the appropriate waveform will be generated.
Kill Bill has a tune in its soundtrack by Ennio Morricone featuring a haunting and evocative whistling. This 'mini-synth' is designed solely to re-create that sound - just add reverb. This shepherd likes to whistle while he works. Features include:
* very little really * just enough control over sound * just enough control over play.
