  • Synapse Audio ProximaStep into the golden era of analog synthesis with Proxima, a meticulously crafted plug-in that brings the iconic warmth and character of a vintage analog synthesizer to your DAW. Powered by advanced circuit modeling, every nuance of the original hardware - from its rich oscillators to its lush filters and saturating amplifier - has been faithfully recreated with unparalleled precision. Proxima is based on a unique analog synth from 1982, famous for its rich 6-voice polyphony, signature Curtis analog chips, and the first synth ever to integrate MIDI input and output. While Proxima faithfully recreates the tone and character of the original hardware, additional features have also been added to facilitate the creative process and bring the hardware seamlessly into the sphere of soft synths. This includes additional filter types, a powerful modulation matrix with 10 slots, a comprehensive arpeggiator/sequencer, as well as an effect section to further shape the sound. Proxima is available in VST, AAX and Audio Unit formats, and supports MIDI Polyphonic Expression (MPE), as well as the Native Kontrol Standard (NKS). Powerful Arpeggiator/Sequencer Designed with ease of use in mind, the Arpeggiator/Sequencer in Proxima has an accessible and straightforward interface that simplifies the process of adding rhythmic or cyclical elements to a patch. Simple though it may be, it's also highly programmable and capable of complex modulations by virtue of its inclusion as a modulation source in the Mod Matrix. Advanced effects algorithms The effects section plays an important role in sound design. From soaring electric guitar-style leads to larger-than-life pads, the effects applied to a patch are a significant part of what gives it its final timbre. Proxima features summary Accurate circuit simulation. Two high-quality VA oscillators. Low- and band-pass filter types (12/24dB). 8x oversampled engine. Comprehensive effects section. Up to 12 voices of Polyphony. Advanced Arpeggiator/Sequencer with 5 modulation slots. Support for MPE (MIDI Polyphonic Expression). Support for MTS (Microtuning). Available as VST 3, Audio Unit and AAX. YouTube.com/watch?v=ofedpxeGIzU YouTube.com/watch?v=FDhufDCzWk4 Read More

  • Cycles & Spots Reaktor SlowDownhttps://youtu.be/WMOnAG1a1GU Another great Ambient production Reaktor instrument from Cycles & Spots. This one is a multi granular soundscaper with 201 samples implemented. These samples are actually 67 kits with 3 matching samples each, meaning that this instrument is quite quick to use and you can get easily good results with many sweet spots for all settings. You can though mash up these samples from different kits and you could also use your own samples (Using Reaktors Sample Map) and maybe make dissonant stuff. The main idea though is to slow down 3 matching samples and let these modulate individually to create huge beautiful, calming and peaceful soundscapes that can feel alive / organic. Pack Details: 1 Instrument For NI Reaktor feat: 201 Samples Implemented (67 Kits) 3 Granular Samplers 4 LFOs Reverb Delay Filter 1.5 GB. Full Version Of NI Reaktor 6.5.0 (Or Higher) Needed.

  • Singular Sound Beat Buddy 2The Singular Sound BeatBuddy 2 is a revolutionary drum machine delivered in a robust stompbox format, expertly engineered to provide musicians—from solo performers and singer-songwriters to full bands—with the responsive, human-feel percussion of a professional live drummer. Moving beyond the static limitations of traditional drum machines and pre-recorded backing tracks, the BeatBuddy 2 allows complete, hands-free control over the entire rhythmic structure of a song in real-time. By simply tapping the integrated footswitches, users can trigger song intros, drop accent hits, transition seamlessly between verse and chorus, and execute dynamic fills, maintaining an intuitive connection to their performance without ever taking their hands off their instrument. The pedal's new hardware design, featuring a crisp, larger color screen and a sleek black-and-gold aesthetic, ensures immediate visual feedback and rock-solid durability for any gigging scenario. At its core, the BeatBuddy 2 leverages meticulously recorded, non-quantized drum samples captured by seasoned professional drummers. This approach ensures that every beat, fill, and groove possesses a natural, authentic pocket and human timing, avoiding the sterile sound often associated with programmed loops. The BeatBuddy 2 vastly expands on the original's library, shipping pre-loaded with 13 ultra-realistic, high-definition (HD) drum kits, which feature four times the sample capacity for enhanced sonic detail and nuance. With a massive internal library spanning over 24 distinct genres and more than 220 unique styles, the pedal is a versatile rhythmic encyclopedia, ready to accompany any musical context, from subtle jazz brushes and funk grooves to heavy rock and electronic patterns, all delivered in high-fidelity 24-bit/44.1kHz stereo audio. The second iteration introduces several significant feature enhancements that elevate its utility as a powerful live tool. Central to this evolution is the innovative Autopilot feature, a smart automation system that intelligently manages transitions and fills, allowing the player to step away from toe-tapping duties for a truly hands-free experience while the beat progresses naturally. Furthermore, the BeatBuddy 2 includes expanded connectivity options, notably dual multi-ports that fully support the optional 6-button SuperSwitch and an expression pedal simultaneously. This allows for dynamic, live control over tempo, volume, half-time, and double-time sections with unparalleled precision. Coupled with MIDI In/Out for perfect synchronization with other loopers (like Singular Sound's Aeros Loop Studio) and external gear, the BeatBuddy 2 seamlessly integrates into any complex musical setup, establishing itself as the ultimate companion for practice, recording, and live performance where a genuine, reliable drummer is paramount. Content is managed and customized using the completely revised BeatBuddy Manager Online software, granting users access to millions of additional songs and 300+ drum sets available through the Singular Sound Beat Boutique and an active online community. Features 13 HD Drum Kits: Includes high-definition drum sets with four times the sample capacity of the original BeatBuddy, delivering realistic detail. Massive Library: Features 24 unique genres, 220+ styles, and over 230 pre-loaded songs, covering diverse musical needs. Authentic Sound: Utilizes non-quantized recordings of professional drummers for a natural, human-groove feel, rendered in 24-bit/44.1kHz stereo audio. Hands-Free Live Control: Integrated dual footswitches allow for real-time control of Intros, Transitions, Fills, Accent Hits, and Outros. Autopilot Feature: Smart automation system that allows the beat to progress automatically, freeing the player for hands-off jamming and improvisation. Expanded Control: Dual multiports support simultaneous connection of an Expression Pedal (for dynamic control of tempo/volume) and the 6-button SuperSwitch for limitless custom commands. MIDI Synchronization: Dedicated MIDI In/Out ports ensure perfect clock synchronization with looper pedals, sequencers, and other external MIDI gear. BeatBuddy Manager Online: Access to the completely revised, browser-based content management software for creating custom songs, organizing setlists, and importing content. Storage Capacity: Ships with an SD card pre-loaded with content, expandable up to 32GB for storing a colossal amount of rhythms and custom kits. Display: Larger, color 2.4" TFT RGB (240x320) screen provides clear visual feedback of the current song part, drum set, and visual metronome. High-Quality Signal Path: Digital dry-through bypass switching ensures the guitar or instrument signal maintains pristine analog integrity with minimal latency. Durable Construction: Built with a rugged, all-metal chassis designed to withstand the rigors of frequent gigging. https://youtu.be/IuxSYdBV_aA?si=jrFFeyiIt7xS5I-t Read More
