VST — Tue, 18 Apr 2023 09:25:20 +0000

Rocket Punch

size 2.6 MB

Rocket Punch is a Lo-fi FM synthesiser.

It features a fast response oscillator with extended harmonics and hyper-speed mod envelope for deep punchy basslines and leads.

Also good for FM FX and circuit bent sounds, with adjustable bit-rate for classic video game chip sounds.

Fellusive – Nettle

VST — Thu, 15 Jul 2021 14:42:16 +0000

Nettle

size 9 MB / 18 MB

Nettle explores the unique and relatively under-explored world of scanned synthesis.

The timbre of the sounds you create constantly evolve, as the waveform produced is made by tracing (scanning) the positions of masses that are always in motion. These masses are set into motion when you press a key on your MIDI controller – this simulates the action of a hammer striking the connection of masses.

Through the user’s manipulation of the masses, the springs that connect them, and the hammer that excites them, a wide range of dynamic, almost sentient, sounds are possible.

32-voice polyphony.
Fully automatable knobs.
Filter (low-pass, high-pass) and reverb available for signal processing.
Four LFOs and ADSRs available for modulation, along with two sources for modulation via your MIDI controller.
Built-in presets, as well as the ability for users to save and modify their own presets.
A randomize button.

Quilcom – Harvester

VST — Sun, 28 Mar 2021 14:56:52 +0000

Harvester

size 18 MB

Harvester is a polyphonic granular synthesiser.

It is capable of taking any sound clip as a wav file and creating modified or completely new sounds and allowing them to be played on your MIDI keyboard.

Zip contains the presets and a selection of WAV files so you can experiment straight away.

Quilcom – Rank Two

VST — Sat, 20 Mar 2021 15:45:30 +0000

Rank Two

size 10 MB

Rank Two is a synthesiser designed specifically to simulate the sound of a rank of pipe organs.

A rank is a single set of pipes tuned with a similar sound and assigned to a chromatic scale covering typically 5 octaves. Usually more than 1 rank makes up a “Division” and a Division will be assigned to one keyboard manual, with the possibility on a real organ of coupling Manuals/Divisions together so the performer can play several ranks and divisions simultaneously.

Rank Two plugin is intended to have several instances in the DAW to give a “mixture” to create a fuller sound. However, a single plugin instance is capable of a wide range of full sounds as demonstrated by some of the presets provided. Use of the extensions is an easy way to build a big sound with fewer instances running in the DAW.

Physical Modelling is used for the wind/pipe interactions and sinewave-based additive synthesis for the tone itself. These two sound generators interact in terms of amplitude, and the sound thus created was tuned at the design stage to give results close to real pipe sample sets I have auditioned. The Reed section uses one of 15 reed waveforms, created in my Quilcom Wavemaker 4, to excite a bank of harmonically tuned resonant filters with very high Q, to give a more defined and controllable spectrum.

Quilcom – Caster

VST — Thu, 18 Mar 2021 14:31:38 +0000

Caster

size 105 MB

Caster is a granular synthesisersynthesiser.

Caster allows an adjustable grain cloud of up to 24 grains per note playing at once. The grain lengths can be adjusted, their start positions set and modulated by a scanner and their pitch offset can be modulated by a dedicated LFO.

The base pitch of the grains can be controlled by a MIDI keyboard so the cloud can be pitched and generated polyphonically. In this way, a four note chord could have up to 96 grains playing at once, for example.

The wav sound files (clips) the synth operates on can be recorded in the synth, loaded into the synth or you can choose from several inbuilt clips. I’ve provided a range of short wav files in the download and these can be used to get started directly.

In addition there is a simple SUB oscillator to pad out the resulting sound, an ADSR envelope generator with adjustable curves and velocity response, and a filter with several response types, key tracking and ADSR modulation.

Since granular synthesis is often used to create soundscapes, washes and ambient effects, a reverb (by Martin Vicanek) is provided to help with sound design and auditioning some of the presets.

A range of presets are provided to demo some typical applications and to act as starting points for experimentation.

Quilcom – PMS

VST — Sat, 27 Feb 2021 19:31:59 +0000

PMS

size 24 MB

PMS is a physical modelling synthesiser designed to enable the user to explore details and behaviour of several different modelling algorithms.

Over 50 acoustic instrument presets are provided to act as starting points for further tuning to taste and needs. In addition there are several fantasy presets where the system is used to make non-acoustic or unusual sounds.
