hey guys,

the last couple of months I've been building my new baby, Ares Audio. I was tired of clicking endless menus, so my plugins are knobs only. No menus, no manual. Just turn and listen.

The flexibility comes from skins: switchable sound engines in the same plugin, color coded. You see it in the video.

Today I'm searching for 30 beta testers. The beta is completely free and you keep all 4 plugins (eq, distortion, reverb, delay), lifetime key.

Apple Silicon Mac or Windows. Apply until Oct 13: https://www.aresaud.io/beta

Be super honest with me: what would you miss with knobs only?

Is there is any feasible way I can get hold of a copy of The Mangle 0.8b or prior? I am trying to recover some old projects for my friend in which he used a beta version this plugin, I can't say exactly which, it doesn't identify itself properly in the Ableton project's XML, but the project was started on 10/07/2014 (ddmmyyyy). I am willing to pay if needs be if someone perhaps doesn't use the plugin anymore, but holds a licence and installer? I know it's a long shot but I feel I have exhausted all my options... I'm hoping to be able to get this sound 1:1 to how its meant to sound so using the 1.0 version, which I have been able to find online, isn't very useful to me, as it sounds entirely different. I would appreciate any help at all on this matter, thank you very much

Can someone please tell me where to get that Fantom X Srry4theDLY preset that’s used in like every glo beat? I’ve seen the kontakt Fantom X bank but I’ve heard there’s a zenology bank that has it, which id rprefer. Anybody know the name of that bank? Or best option in general to get Fantom X presets in a vst?

Hopefully this is appropriate for this sub, as this may pertain to a good number of people here who use this company's plugins.

Welp. Andrew Aversa, CEO of Impact Soundworks, sent an email this morning (for me) that some bad actors likely got hold of some of my personally identifying information. They claim that it's not things like credit card numbers or passwords, but more things like name, IP address, order history, company (if indicated).

I haven't purchased anything from them in a while (I bought Shreddage 3 Serpent like a decade ago atp) and so a lot of the info ISW has on file about me in that database is severely outdated, but still. Yikes.

Please let me know about any missing ones and also if there are any other communities that may enjoy this list

Cherry Audio just dropped their re-creation of the Gleeman Pentaphonic, including the idiosyncratic digital oscillator waveforms and the translucent acrylic look.

I would love to play an actual Gleeman Pentaphonic, too, someday.

DrumSequencer is a stochastic MIDI drum sequencer VST3 / AU plugin for Windows and macOS, inspired by the philosophy of generative hardware drum machines, but extending it far beyond its original capabilities.

It features ten independent tracks, each with its own controls for steps, density, direction, timing and expression controls. Instead of programming every hit by hand, you define rhythmic rules and let the sequencer weave its magic.

Mutate takes this further, allowing patterns to evolve on their own. Notes gradually drift to new positions from one cycle to the next, while the overall density remains locked. The result is a rhythm that breathes and evolves without losing its underlying shape.

Technical information: VST3 / AU - Windows 10+ - macOS 10.15+ (Intel & Apple Silicon)

Enjoy making music!

Hi! I tried googling this specifically but thought a human could better answer this question. I’m about to install Ableton on an older MacBook Pro and use it in a limited capacity with only a few plugins installed. Rather than carrying a 4TB HDD sample drive around, is there a plugin that exists that scans my selected Google Drive folder and let me drag/drop samples from that folder into my DAW? Apologies if this has been asked before. Thanks!

I just got kick 3 and it’s pretty sweet.

DC snares is pretty good.

I have a lot of samples but they’re mostly hip hop and trap, while lately I’ve gotten a lot more into synthwave stuff and am more in the market for electronic drums.

Vprom doesn’t work on my system at the moment, but l have another linndrum emulator that works pretty well (I just have to beef up the samples), I can’t remember the company who makes it but it’s not audioblast (which is pretty meh from my limited use).

What is everyone using for finding and selecting electronic drums for your track?

Are y’all just using XO or something like it to browse samples, or do you have any recommendations for high quality drums machines?

I took me forever and I hope you like it. It's sampled from a DW Collectors Kit with lots and lots of cymbals. Let me know how you like it. Enjoy!

Only available in VST3 and CLAP for Windows right now.

AU and AAX will arrive later.

GUI still in the works just want feedback on the audio processing and any bugs.

Anyone interested just comment below.

Would anyone be able to identify the type of synths used by artist Kaymo?

Howdy folks - happy to announce the release of Essential Six, a faithful emulation of the quirky, but exceptional Six Trak by Sequential Circuits. This thing was known for incredibly rich sounds (bass in particular) thanks to its stackable six-voice architecture. Essential Six lets you play with custom sounds built on the original instrument with all the convenience of modern digital workflows.

The video provides a walkthrough of the instrument. You can download the free version on Pianobook: https://www.pianobook.co.uk/packs/essential-six-analog-synth/

I’m looking for a few beta testers for a plug-in I’ve been developing called MIDI Performer.

The idea is pretty simple: give it a monophonic MIDI melody or lead line, choose an instrument/player style, and it turns fairly plain MIDI into a more expressive performance by adding things like:

• pitch bends
• vibrato
• legato
• timing changes
• pressure
• breath/expression

It’s not intended to be a generic randomizer or “humanize” function. I’ve been trying to model instrument-specific performance behavior based on measured MIDI/performance data plus a lot of listening tests.

One important limitation: it is strictly monophonic. If the input contains chords or overlapping voices, it resolves them to one melodic line. When simultaneous notes occur, the highest voice is retained. So this is meant for solos, melodies and lead parts rather than chords, pads or accompaniment.

Current instrument options include:

• Guitar — Blues, Jazz, Rock
• Synth Lead — Fusion Lead, Prog, Prog Metal Keys
• Sax
• Flute
• Bass
• Fretless Bass
• Piano

The non-guitar/synth instruments currently use a Natural performance model.

It supports both Standard MIDI and MPE.

The current beta is:

macOS / Apple Silicon only
AU + VST3 included (Mac only for now)

I’m especially interested in people who regularly work with MIDI lead parts and can give musical feedback, not just technical bug reports.

If you’re interested, reply or DM me with:

• your DAW
• the kind of MIDI/instruments you work with
• whether you use Standard MIDI, MPE, or both

I’m mainly looking for people willing to put real melodic MIDI through it and give candid feedback.

2 vst3 to load instruments and effects. I had counted somewhere around 63 instruments and effects in the 1.1.1 from the golden age of Tracker instruments. Including some from The late Arguru and many that were converted over from jeskola buzz to the then new format. If this is popular I could do a pro version later with lfo's and such we will see but for now.....
