Animated Instruments Animated EastAn instrument for exploring. Animated East invites you to slow down and design sounds one module at a time. Drag-and-drop modulation, 3D visualization, and menu-free navigation make sound creation intuitive. Microtuning and per-module drift offer up the unexpected. Key Features: 3D Navigable Tunnel: Scroll or use arrows to move fluidly through the signal chain. Dual Oscillators: multiple wave types with dedicated gain, octave, detune, and drift controls. Noise Generator: Level and density (color) controls. Dual Filters: Low-Pass and High-Pass including drive, resonance, drift, and cutoff. Dual Envelopes: ADSR and Auxiliary AR (Attack / Release). AR is loop-able, doubling as a free-rate LFO. LFO: Includes sync and free-rate modes, rate control, and shape (four shapes). Microtuning: 5 selectable modes for moving beyond equal temperament. Why Animated East? Visual Synthesis: 3D interactions on most parameters. Flow-State Design: A user interface that encourages single-module focus. Intuitive Modulation: Drag and drop three sources onto sixteen parameters. Classic Foundation: Built on a classic subtractive synthesis architecture. Read More

quantovox VoxomatVoxomat adds a unique human-meets-machine character to your tracks. It transforms simple basslines into talkative, morphing sequences, while offering endless possibilities for non-pitched sounds like drums. Higher-pitched inputs can trigger complex harmonic shaping effects – the resulting inharmonic textures and FM-style intermodulation deliver a grit typical of Lo-Fi aesthetics. Conversely, these frequency modulation effects can also be smoothed out by using harmonically dense inputs, such as overdriven tones or overtone-rich sawtooth-based sounds. Using the plugin's modulation options in parallel opens wider sonic possibilities – for example, adding powerful chiptune effects to any source or mimicking the aggressive, harmonically shifting "tearing" sound of hard-synced oscillators. Based on the Ringotron engine, Voxomat utilizes a hybrid modulation architecture combining audio-rate modulation with resonators. Features: • Complex rhythmic movement driven by an array of synced LFOs for deep, malleable modulation. • Integrated envelope follower for responsive modulation. • Touchscreen-friendly modulation sequencer for pitch FX control. • Powerful resonant vocalizer for synth basses and all overtone-rich bass timbres. • On unpitched inputs like drums, effects range from whispers to glottal textures and stronger vocal glitches. • For pitched inputs, higher registers can more easily uncover robotic qualities as complex frequency relationships yield unique, inharmonic textures. • The user interface is designed to blend algorithmic automation with tactile control, turning the effect into a responsive performance tool. • Each preset features a set of primary performance controls pre-mapped for automation and expressive live play. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9rz30aLDKAM&list=PLbokWO8YipvXRZFnp1eXZQf9Y_FFh5hM2&index=3 Read More

Overloud introduce Gem Comp160 The latest arrival to Overloud’s Gem Series plug-in range faithfully recreates not one, but three versions of the iconic dbx 160.

Overload Audio ECHODUDE BBD-150ECHODUDE BBD-150 - Vintage Analog BBD Echo Delay Plugin ECHODUDE BBD-150 is a detailed software recreation of classic bucket-brigade delay units, closely modelled on the Echoman EM-150 and Melos DE-1 to capture their distinctive tone, modulation, and driven analogue character. Faithfully informed by the original hardware designs, ECHODUDE BBD-150 preserves the signal behaviour, frequency shaping, and saturation response that define vintage BBD delays. From warm, rounded echoes to unstable, degraded repeats, every stage of the signal path has been designed to reflect the sound, shape, and dynamic behaviour of the original circuits. Particular attention has been given to input drive and feedback response, allowing the delay line to transition naturally from clean repeats into dense, harmonically rich saturation and self-oscillation. The characteristic clock noise, bandwidth limitations, and modulation artefacts of bucket-brigade technology are carefully reproduced to maintain an authentic analogue feel. While remaining true to its hardware inspirations, ECHODUDE BBD-150 extends the original designs with full stereo operation, enabling wide spatial imaging and immersive delay textures without compromising the core mono BBD character of the source units. Designed for producers who value depth, movement, and imperfection, ECHODUDE BBD-150 delivers a faithful analogue delay experience adapted for modern workflows. Key Features: Detailed recreation of classic BBD delay circuitry. Modelled on Echoman EM-150 and Melos DE-1 units. Authentic analogue drive, feedback, and modulation behaviour. Characterful saturation and self-oscillation response. Faithful bandwidth and clock artefact modelling. Full stereo delay processing. Optimised for modern DAW environments. Windows (VST3) and macOS (VST3 & AU) versions available. Read More
