"Thrummaschine is capable of nasty loudness if you push the settings hard"

"Keep volumes low while you play with the controls"

De La Mancha has released a new 3-band distortion effect

with independant LFO-driven filters, Thrummaschine.

It’s a free VST that can make your bass, mid and high frequencies oscillate

at different speeds, shapes and pan, with whatever flavour and

level of distortion you dial in for each band.

Features:

3 user-defined bands for bass, mid and high freqencies, with overlap if required
3 filters with tempo-sync LFO, for each freq band
overdrive, distortion and bitcrush effects
send level for each band to each effect
pan and volume for each band

Are you afraid of the Devil? No?
Then hear the demo song Devil Moon High, coming from Cosmodelia. They're a Spanish transhumanic electronic band, who blends in its music experimental and traditional sound synthesis and processing techniques.

This is another demo,
in this case featuring JG-3, Devil inside and Cosmogirl II, plus some electronic sampled drums. It was written by our member Laz to demonstrate the potential of our synths, and sounds amazingly good!

Erectifier works as a doubler, demented phaser or exciter.

It is designed to widen and "phatten" your sound,

although it is capable of being a very demented beast as well.

You have an LFO that controls how long back an echo is.

You can set the length and speed of this LFO.

There is a filter that can be LowPass, HighPass or Allpass,

and a cut Hz so that you can control where the cut is.

The distortion is to "gritt" up the sound a little, or a lot, it's not the world's best distortion.

You can amplify the signal, if you want to.

The filter can cut away a lot of the volume, that's why we have it.

on/off.

There are two to the left side and two on the right side.

One dry through parameter.

So if you'd like to test one of your settings, turn the other three off (via on/off parameter) and then tweak away.

There are a few presets (plus a random-function).

Erectifier was programmed for Rusty Trombone by Shuriken.se.

HighLife is a VSTi freezer and Sampler. It loads into your VST Host as a VSTi but it also allows you to load another VSTi into it and then "Freeze" the current preset and save this as its own preset. You can then unload the hosted VSTi to free up resources.

Overview

Built-in VST host for 32bit sampling of VSTis (freezing).
Built-in wave editor.
32-Bit floating point based wavetables.
128 Programs with unlimited zones.
Up to 32 voices polyphony (Multi layered zone sampling engine).
Selectable interpolation engines: Hermite, Sinc 64 and Sinc 512. Both sinc modes are not suitable for realtime purposes but bouncing to audio.
Morphable scheme and automatable zone parameters (incl. cue and loop points).
Syncable LFO with configurable Phase.
Stepping-free modulation sends, pitch bend and modulation to morphing wheels.

Sampler Import formats

Auto mapping when multiple files are opened at once.
Samples: .wav (8 to 32 Bit), .mp3, .raw.
Programs: proprietary .fxp/.fxb, .akp (Akai S5000/S6000), rgc:audio's SFZ.

Sampler Export formats (registered version only)

Samples: .wav.
Programs: proprietary .fxp/.fxb, rgc:audio's SFZ.

Program overview

Unlimited zones.
ADSR amplitude envelope.
ADSR envelope filter and pitch assignable (both bipolar).

Stepping-free Cutoff and Resonance.
High quality Chorus, delay and reverb.
Wow factor effects: Daft and rock da disco.
Full mono/poly and legato operation.

Zones overview

Independent envelope amplitude, modulation envelope, LFO and filter settings.
Automatable zone parameters (including cue and loop points).
Up to 128 MIDI triggerable cues, with different start/end and loop settings each.
Automatable per-cue pos/end/loop points, supporting swapping of cue range/loop markers.
5 Loop types (one shoot, forward, bidirectional, backward, forward w/sustain).
Group/Off by triggering settings.

Black Magic is a unique loop workstation with the ability to generate diverse loops with a single mouse click. Furthermore a loop can instantly be recorded out to WAV, automatically named by BPM and timestamp. The idea developed to make sample based loops an easy and fun process, as loop creation is generally a time consuming process.

Black Magic can also be used as a standard MIDI drum machine and also has the ability to jam with the individual sequences in real time. It has 10 Samplers each with its own sequencer and many adjustable parameters. It uses standard WAV files and ships with a large library of samples, but users can easily add their own. There is also an FX section which includes a Compressor/Limiter, Delay, SoundScaper, Flanger/Filter and Drive as well as many Modulation options including randomizers, a Modulation sequencer and an LFO.

Black Magic looks deceptively simple on the surface and can be used easily without delving into the details too much, but underneath there is a vast amount of tweakable parameters. Each sampler has its own settings for 14 parameters such as Cutoff, Resonance, Volume, Pan, Pitch, Release, etc., but there are also a set of Master controls for these settings which are additive/subtractive. These knobs provide instant gratification and can change the sound dramatically as well as being automated (like most controls in BM). There is also an overview Mixer screen which allows seeing all levels for 12 of the Sampler parameters and allows a great way to randomize just the pitches or cutoff values for instance.

Each Sampler has its own 32-step sequencer which can be triggered via MIDI and has adjustable step size, which allows for complex overlapping rhythms to be constructed. There is also a useful alternative to randomizing the sequence which uses a pre-defined set of presets which is randomly selected. This allows much more usable rhythms to be created as opposed to the standard randomizers (which are also available). Another useful feature is that Octave 4 and 5 of the MIDI controller affects a selectable parameter such as Master Pitch or Master Cutoff in real time which adds a whole new world of creative possibilities, for example playing a tune with the current loop.

There is a Kit feature which allows grouping installed samples together and saving as a kit, this then allows quick selection of those samples in the future. The Kit screen provides a useful overview of all current samples where they can also be selected and randomized. Samples are stored in folders, and those folders appear as banks within Black Magic and there is the ability to lock the bank. So, for example, selecting Snare drums and locking the bank will mean that when randomizing only Snare Drums will be selected for this sampler slot.

The FX Section has Soundscaper which is a diverse delay/reverb style effect, a Stereo BPM Delay, and a Flanger which can be switched to Filter instead, the LFO has a large amount of wave shapes available. Each sampler has its own set of sends for these effects. There is also a Compressor, Limiter and Noise Gate which happen just before the Master Volume Level, the compressor is great for a heavy compression sound that is popular these days.

Black Magic Lite is the free little sister of Black Magic. Even though Lite has fewer features than the big version, all of the important ones have been retained, so it is a fully functional synth in its own right. Upgrading to the big version, you will get a large collection of included samples, the ability to use your own and a hard compressor, amongst many other things.
