  • Amphioniq dm4amphioniq's dm4 is a free, modern homage to Steinberg's venerable LM-4 drum machine module, offering compatibility with existing LM-4 kits and faithfully reproducing the features from the original. dm4 is intended as a playful way to celebrate the legacy and simplicity of the LM-4 as a VST3 plug-in. Introduced in 1999, LM-4 was Steinberg's first commercial VST Instrument, following the launch of the VST 2.0 plug-in interface. Written by Charlie Steinberg, it was a tribute to Roger Linn's first drum machine, the venerable LM-1, which had debuted 19 years earlier. • Faithfully loads LM-4 drum sets in the original text (*.txt) file format, making it easy to edit to create your own. Along with Steinberg's original content, there are numerous third-party kits available in the depths of the Internet. • An example set it provided, as a belated nod to 909 day. • 18 Pads, offering independent pan, pitch, and level controls, with each allowing for up to 127 velocity zones. • A global mode offers an overall volume control (responding to MIDI controller #7), along with tuning and velocity sensitivity controls. • 6 outputs: a stereo mix, complemented by four additional, assignable outputs. • Supports 16- or 24-bit, Wave or AIFF, stereo or mono audio files. • Compatible with VST3 hosts running on Windows 11-based x64, ARM64EC, or ARM64 systems.

  • Pine DSP Blox ExciterBlox Exciter is a three-mode saturator for adding energy to signals. Ember, Reel and Glass Three saturation modes are provided in Blox Exciter, with each offering a different way to distort the signal. Ember provides a warm overdrive; Reel introduces a nostalgic, magnetic tape distortion; Glass gives a sharp, edgy tone. Controls All modes features Air, Drive and Tilt controls. Air adds high energy that's still related to the input signal through odd harmonics. Drive pushes the signal into the saturation stage. Tilt changes the balance pre-distortion between low and high frequencies. In Reel mode, two more controls are available: Hysteresis affects softness and the amount of transient blur; and Bias adjusts asymmetry in the simulated reel. Output and Mix controls are available, and the plugin can be bypassed. Read More
