I originally created Splitt for a mastering project where I needed a linear-phase spectrum splitter to dial in separate settings for the low and high end. I thought it would be a one-off – something I’d use once and then forget about. But it turned out to be way more useful than I expected, and I keep coming back to it.

I shared it for free, and the number of downloads and positive comments made it clear I wasn’t the only one finding it helpful.

Recently, a user asked for a signed and notarized AU version. That felt like a good excuse to give Splitt its own post – and update it while I was at it.

Changelog v1.00 – v2.00

Bypass buttons added

Added a gain knob for each band

Minor bug-fixes

Available as:

Windows – VST3

Rattly and Raw has announced the release of Lockdown Kitchen, a free instrument for NI Kontakt featuring found sounds.

Made when Rattly and Raw’s in-house mix engineer, Emre, got bored during the lockdown. To the dismay of his family, he sampled everything across the flat. Including multiple recordings of each surface and kitchen utensil. We included washing machines, espresso makers, and much more. Enjoy!

Lockdown Kitchen is an instrument full of kitchen percussion instruments perfect for lockdown jams. Authentic range cooker, coffee grinder, bread knives, saucepans, washing machine doors, and many many many more. All multi-sampled and loaded with functionality.

The interface is fun and interactive, if you hover any item, it will light up. The kitchen has three views, each with more “instruments”. If you click on any of these instruments, you’ll enter in focus mode, which lets you choose MIDI assignments and activate effects such as compression, distortion and reverb, also tweak the tone, output level and “tuning”. There’s a “Preferences” menu where you can reset MIDI and fx and turn on/off the velocity. Don’t get fooled by the silly (?) interface. Lockdown Kitchen is capable of serious sound designing.

All Rattly & Raw libraries work with Native Instruments Kontakt 5.7 or newer (including Kontakt 6). Kontakt Player will load them in demo mode.

The Commodore Amiga revolutionized the home computer when it hit the shelves in 1985. Not only sporting colourful 16-bit graphics but also boasting four channels of 8-bit sampled audio. With sample sequencing software like ProTracker and OctaMED, it was the first computer that allowed its users to record and sequence instruments into a full song; inspiring musicians, programmers, graphic designers, and hackers to show what they could really do with the new technology that the Amiga gave them. And while its specs may seem like they pale in comparison to more modern computers, its sound and legacy continue to inspire people to this day.

The Commodore Amiga revolutionized the home computer when it hit the shelves in 1985. Not only sporting colourful 16-bit graphics but also boasting four channels of 8-bit sampled audio. With sample sequencing software like ProTracker and OctaMED, it was the first computer that allowed its users to record and sequence instruments into a full song; inspiring musicians, programmers, graphic designers, and hackers to show what they could really do with the new technology that the Amiga gave them. And while its specs may seem like they pale in comparison to more modern computers, its sound and legacy continue to inspire people to this day.

The Ami Sampler brings that feel and that sound into the modern world of Digital Audio Workstations. Obviously heavily inspired by the Amiga, as well as Protracker and Fasttracker, it also draws inspiration from last trackers like Triton’s Fasttracker II and Milkytracker in addition to some modern sampler VST plugins. While in no way an emulator nor a recreation of the limitations that the late 80s software had, the Ami Sampler strives to take the classic sound of the Amiga but still allow it to stand up with a modern DAW setting.

Controls / Parameters
For the most part, the Ami Sampler has pretty standard controls that one would expect to find in a sampler VST. There are twelve individual samplers. Each sampler has its own volume, pan, and ADSR controls as well as solo/mute. There’s also the option for each channel to be monophonic, four-voice polyphonic (PT poly), or eight-voice polyphonic (Octa poly). There’s also a sample rate decimator control and when the channel is in monophonic mode, there’s a control for pitch glide.

Master output has controls for master volume, master pan, a switch to enable a 4.4khz 6db/octave low pass filter (modeled after the RC filter in the Amiga 500), a switch to enable a 3.1khz 12db/octave low pass filter (modeled after the LED filter in the Amiga 500 and Amiga 1200), and vibrato speed and depth.

By far my favorite control that I put into the Ami Sampler is the “Paula” switch, taking inspiration from the Amiga’s audio processor’s (known as Paula) limitation to only be able to pan hard left or hard right. This limitation in the Amiga could allow the user to create uniquely wide sounding pads when multiple channels play the same sample as a chord.

The Paula switch creates a similar affect by alternating the pan for each note played by the sample; almost like an autopan except the notes are sustained instead of shifting back and forth. When in “Paula” mode, the channel pan control becomes a stereo width from -100 wide to +100 wide (when in Mono mode, “Paula” is disabled since the effect is for chords).

Other controls include a computer-key virtual midi keyboard mapped to Protracker’s/Fasttracke’s note map, plugin window scaling via the window buttons above the waveform graphic (window scaling is disable in Linux plugins as Linux DAWs don’t handle this feature well), sample looping, and MIDI channel/transposition controls.

Sample loading/saving
Sample loading can be done via the LOAD button or by dragging and dropping samples into Ami Sampler. Supported file formats include: .WAV, .AIF, 8SVX .IFF (Amiga audio file), 8-bit signed raw PCM, mu-law encoded .BIN (Linn drum and Drumulator samples), and .BRR files (Super Nintendo samples). While Ami Sampler does play back any audio at 8-bit PCM and does have a sample rate decimator available, to fully get the Amiga feel, it’s recommended to use 8-bit samples with a sample rate below 28khz (typical sample rates for the Amiga were usually either 8363hz or 16726hz).

A handleful of samples are included in this repository under the Samples folder. Included are the famous ST-01 and ST-02 sample packs converted to WAV, a random collection of some of my favorite samples in the remaining ST-XX sample packs (under ST-FV), and a handful of samples that I recorded on my Amiga 500 using my Arduinosound Turbo sampler module (https://github.com/astriiddev/Arduinosound-Turbo) under the folder ST-ASTRX. Some of the ST-ASTRX samples are in the original IFF format, some have been converted to BRR using my SBC700 Super BRR Converter program (still in development).

Additional Amiga samples from the ST-XX sample packs can be found at https://archive.org/details/AmigaSTXX

Sample saving is done with the SAVE button; currently only WAV, AIF, IFF, raw, and BIN are supported. You can also clear out a sample from its slot with the trashcan icon.

MAIM is an audio plugin that circuit bends an MP3 encoder in real time, disrupting the control flow sending data down unexpected paths to create digital distortions. With heavily hacked real MP3 encoders at its core, MAIM gives you the full gamut of digital distortion, from the realistic to the fantastical.

MAIM features two real MP3 encoders, captured in the wild and painstakingly incorporated into a real-time plugin.

We’ve woven mad-science circuit bending into MAIM’s MP3 encoders, to give you fine control over a whole palette of spectral distortions and face-melting glitches.

All knobs can be smoothly dragged and automated, without pops or gaps in the sound.
MAIM works across DAWs, on Mac (AU/VST3), Windows (VST3), and even Linux (VST3).

MAIM is licensed under the GPL v3.0 license, so you are free to use and even modify it, as long as any redistribution of the software is under the same license.

Bonnie is a slot driven drum sampler with lightning speed drum-kits loading and fast one stage control, fitted for live usage, with better control, both mp3 and wav. format support, fast workflow and only 0.5 sec. loading times for new core kit.

The sampler: Bonnie uses 10 (.wav, mp3) file sample slots to build 10 drum components drum-kits. According to this approach, every slot can be anything, from kicks to snares or cymbals or you name it. Each slot is triggered by its own unique MIDI note which noted on its slot button. For instance, slot 48 is triggered by note number 48 in the MIDI keyboard (c2). The samples menu is divided into 14 categories, including a wide range of drum-kit components types. Bonnie comes with 30 full drum-kits to start with. It’s perfect for sketching or producing most common classic genres drum tracks like disco, R&B, soul, hip hop, rock, pop, reggae and many more with carefully crafted samples that sit great in the mix and a reasonable drum library size that won’t choke your hard drive.

Every slot in Bonnie has a full mixer page. It provides most of the traditional features per drum element that a producer might need and some exclusive features that you will not find even in the most expansive drums machines.

You’ll find a new sample library manager, pitch control, magnitude control, EQ, saturation, phase control, delay, unique filter, drift effect and even an ability to morph the drum elements with other elements in the library.

Bonnie is also armed with 3 master effects (compressor, reverb, delay) with a unique effect called “F.R” which allows full scale frequency control over the wet signal. You can use the effect by sending a fx amount from the “master fx” slider on every channel.

The Morph System: Bonnie is armed with a morphing system which can blend any 2 drum elements together (which can create tons of new fresh drum sounds). The morph system can also play with the blended element’s pitch and increase the invention of new drum sounds like never before.

Special channel’s modulation effects: Each channel in Bonnie is armed with dedicated modulation effects which allow adding beautiful nuances and textures to each drum element separately. There is a yowling phaser effect, a delay and the new Zelda filter which can completely change the audio materials native character and morph it into a new interesting sound.
