black-sided sun PJ-106

https://youtu.be/Ig4WxdOLMYs

PJ-106 is a soundpack of 72 presets created in CHERRY AUDIO DCO-106 synthesizer. No external effects used except for the mastering plugin (no EQ) on the master bus.

These timbres are mostly recreations of those from the earlier pack for TAL U-NO-LX synth - PJ-6. The initial idea was to set the sliders in the same positions and see what holds. But that just did not work. So the PJ-106 timbres were tweaked or re-dialled to sound more like patches from PJ-6.

It turned out way trickier that expected. Whereas Juno-60 and Juno-106 are reportedly rather similar, U-NO-LX and DCO-106 are drastically different from each other, preventing patches from sounding identical or even similar enough to each other.

For one, DCO-106 lacks U-NO-LX's polyphonic unison mode, it has only a more traditional monophonic unison. Second, their envelopes seem to be working differently, and so do the LFO's. Third, TAL's plugin allows to fire up both Chorus effects at once, which is not possible with DCO-106.

DCO-106 is a great synth, but personally, if I'd have to choose between them two, I'd select U-NO-LX. Its sound clicks with me much more. Besides, it taxes CPU much less.

iFeature IFEA - Spectral Gate

Introducing Spectral Gate as the first plugin version.

I'm thrilled to unveil the next evolution of our Spectral Gate technology.

What's IFEA - Spectral Gate ?

Advanced Frequency Control: FFT (Fast Fourier Transform) technology, Spectral Gate now defines precise thresholds across frequency bands to effectively gate away noise. A known side effect of noise gating was a slight lag in the high frequencies, but with our new design, the tilt control for brightness now perfectly compensates for this, ensuring your highs stay clear and punchy. New Attack & Release Controls:Fine tune the dynamics with dedicated attack and release parameters.This gives you even more expressive control over how quickly the gate responds to incoming audio, enabling both natural and creatively shaped sounds. Enhanced Tilt Shift for Brightness:Adjust the brightness of your audio processing with our tilt shift feature visually represented by the spinning sun. This effect not only adds a fresh layer of creative control but now also plays a crucial role in correcting any high frequency lag caused by noise gating. Dry and Wet Mix Control:Achieve the perfect balance in your mix by blending the unprocessed (dry) signal with the processed (wet) signal. This gives you full control over the intensity of the effect, allowing for a more natural or pronounced sound as needed. Fixed & Accurate Latency: Our latency is now fixed and spot on, ensuring a reliable performance every time without the guesswork. Project Persistence:Your settings are saved automatically when you reload your project, streamlining your workflow and letting you pick up right where you left off. Revamped User Interface: Enjoy a modern, interactive UI with cool visuals that not only look great but also enhance your creative process.

Use in every DAW which supports VST3 + AUv2 (Mac & Windows).

Teletone Audio Tone Architect

Tone Architect is a saturation, tone shaping, compression machine, audio effect plug-in.

The Vision

Tone Architect is not a one-knob wonder or a surgical tool. It's a creative space — designed to bring back the joy of shaping sound by ear, not by eye.

Design and Distort

The SATURATOR section was designed by an electrical engineer to replicate the characteristics and complexities of the analog trinity: Tape, Tube and Cassette.

Push and Pull Tech

The TONE SHAPER section is where Push-Pull meets Multi-Band. This novel approach to tone shaping takes you out of the digital world, and into the analog universe.

Boost, attenuate, expand and contract using a Pultec inspired Multi-Band compressor that takes lackluster sounds back to the golden era of audio production.

Compress and Contour

The COMPRESSOR section utilizes a 4-stage RMS based VCA compressor with plenty of punch.

With 4x Oversampling and a built-in Multi-Band compressor, Tone Architect can add glue, shine, and an analog edge to anything from drum bus to mix bus.

Wave Alchemy Tapewave

Tapewave is a versatile tape plugin that effortlessly blends the crisp tones of analog tape with the nostalgic charm of aged, lo-fi cassettes.

With authentic wow and flutter modulation, rich tape saturation, vibey analog compression, and six unique tape styles with adjustable tape age control, achieve the perfect balance of warmth and grit to take your mix on a journey through time.

Cassette Character

Cassette tape has a unique character that distinguishes it from high-fidelity studio machines made famous by Studer and Ampex. For decades, countless records – many still today – have used cassettes for their distinct saturation, modulation, compression, and EQ effects.

In Tapewave, we meticulously analyzed our favorite cassette machines to faithfully replicate their unique sound and character. Instead of relying on simple saturation and basic pitch modulation like many other plugins, we delved deeper to capture the true, intricate nuances of real cassette tape.

With just a few intuitive controls, you can effortlessly dial in everything from subtle warmth to the textured sound of lo-fi, degraded tape, providing an authentic cassette experience inside your DAW.

Press play on fun

Tapewave makes getting the authentic sound of cassette tape simple, fast, and fun. Each of its six distinct tape styles comes with a matching visual aesthetic, complete with animation.

Its clean, streamlined interface ensures that shaping your signature sound is effortless, letting you dive into creativity without distraction.

Six tape styles

Switching tapes is one of the simplest ways to achieve a different sound when recording to cassette – some tapes are darker, grittier, cleaner, or purely lo-fi.

Tapewave brings this experience to life by offering six distinct tape styles, each with its own instantly recognizable character. Plus, with the Age control, you can push each tape style even further, transforming the sound from brand new to the brink of total breakdown, capturing the full range of cassette degradation.

Crush it like cassette

Many cassette recorders featured built-in compressors that were unapologetically aggressive and effortlessly crushed transients. Tapewave takes inspiration from this by offering two powerful compression modes. One of these is Loc Mode, a detailed emulation of the legendary Shure Level Loc.

Whether you're looking to smash your drums with heavy compression or subtly tame transients, you can easily dial in the perfect amount. Plus, you can instantly audition the compression either before or after the tape processing for maximum flexibility.

Wow & Flutter

Anyone who's used real cassette tapes knows the magic of those unpredictable and charming pitch fluctuations known as wow & flutter. In the past, manufacturers worked hard to eliminate these irregularities, or you'd experience the best pitch modulation just before the machine broke down and needed repairs—making it a real challenge to work with.

Most plugins that claim to emulate wow & flutter rely on a simple LFO, but we've gone further by recreating random fluctuations that mimic the true behavior of analog tape. Best of all, unlike real tape decks, you can control exactly how much wow & flutter you want, without the risk of your machine suddenly giving out on you.

Dial in the drive

One of the best parts of using a cassette recorder is overdriving it for unique, character-filled saturation.

Our advanced saturation circuit captures the warm, analog drive you love while eliminating digital artifacts like aliasing. With 16x oversampling, Tapewave ensures a smooth, analog-like sound in your final mix. Plus, you can easily switch to standard or efficient modes to save CPU without sacrificing quality.

Unlike other plugins that rely on basic waveshaping or soft clipping, Tapewave's tape saturation is meticulously modeled after real tape machines for an authentic sound experience.

Features

Experience the authentic sound of cassette tape in a streamlined, easy-to-use plugin. Add life, soul and warmth to digital mixes. Six unique tape styles, each delivering its own distinct character – from clean and punchy to dark, gritty, and lo-fi. Take things further with Tape Age, a seamless control that transforms each tape style from pristine to worn-out – capturing a wide range of cassette degradation. Painstakingly modelled analog tape saturation circuit. Two analog-style compression modes, including a vibey Shure Level Loc emulation, let you crush transients or tame dynamics effortlessly. Authentically recreate the unstable pitch movement inherent of old analog tape. Creative Wow & Flutter engine for realistic pitch fluctuations, featuring both stable cosine curve modulation and a custom-tuned Perlin noise generator for authentic pitch warble. Make Wow & Flutter even more unstable with the creative Drift control. Switchable tape hiss circuit. Punchy output maximizer for extra loudness. Up to 16x oversampling for smooth, alias-free operation. Internal preset browser with searching, tags and favorites. 100 production-ready presets. Resizable high-definition UI. Undo and Redo parameter changes. Available as VST3, AU and AAX on macOS and Windows. Apple Silicon native on macOS.

Savant Audio Labs Quantum 2772 Evolution

The Quantum 2772 Evolution is a true algorithmic stereo reverb, inspired by the legendary German room simulator algorithm and offered here for the first time in plugin format.

The Quantum 2772 Evolution reverb algorithm is fundamentally different from other reverb simulators, offering unsurpassed realism and depth.

There are three principles that make the Quantum 2772 Evolution uniquely different than the vast majority of other reverb processors:

Accurately modeled resonances of a space. Reverb simulators commonly use "ray tracing" within the time domain to attempt to provide the aural cues necessary for size, depth, and other factors. The Quantum 2772 Evolution takes a different approach by modeling the resonant modes and modal densities of a real room. By modeling the modal density patterns and distribution of resonances throughout a room, the listener is provided with psychoacoustical cues that help to create a true sense of space and depth. Unique, non-linear dynamic envelope. Most reverbs respond in a linearly static way to sound impulse stimuli, resulting in a rather predictable and two-dimensional sound. Because of its system of related, interconnected resonators, the Quantum 2772 Evolution is able to create a much more realistic envelope of sound in the attack phase by creating a non-linear system which models the complex resistance and inertia characteristics of a real room. As a result, a certain clarity of sound is achieved as shorter, softer sounds are left unclouded, while longer sounds gradually build into realistic, complex tails. Clear, un-modulated reverb. Most reverb simulators rely on modulation to avoid a buildup of harsh resonances within the soundfield which often results in unnatural time and pitch fluctuations. Because the Quantum 2772 Evolution embraces the natural interaction and build-up of well-coordinated resonances, it does not need to rely on any form of modulation, offering a degree of clarity, naturalness and pitch-stability not typically found in other reverbs.

Savant Audio Labs Quantum Room Simulator

The Quantum Room Simulator is a true algorithmic stereo reverb, inspired by and building upon the legacy of the legendary German Room Simulator.

The Quantum Room Simulator excels at enveloping the source with an incredibly natural sense of depth and realism. The Quantum Room Simulator offers impeccably modeled analog character as well as many new features including expanded presets based on real-world rooms:

This plugin is inspired by the classic Room Simulator from 1982 that started it all, and still remains the favorite of many engineers and artists today. Contains seven room size algorithms, ranging from a small closet to 100s Taj Mahal. Faithful emulation of the legendary room simulator algorithm. Freeze Mode for infinite reverb tails that never repeat. Enhance Mode for alternative reflection patterns. Configurable for Quadraphonic (4.0 Surround) with multiple stereo instances (true to the original hardware correlation patterns). Faithfully modeled analog hardware stages, including 10kHz bandwidth option. Expanded presets, offering our True Resonance Mapping technology capable of emulating real-world spaces.

The Quantum Room Simulator utilizes a unique and novel approach that makes it fundamentally different than the vast majority of reverb processors. By modeling the inherent resonances of a space, the room simulator provides all of the psychoacoustical cues necessary to create a believable room that follows the laws of physics, resulting in reverb that envelopes the source with an incredibly natural sense of depth and realism.

Korneff Audio Wow Thing

Wow Thing is a quirky, Lo-Fi spatial effects processor that's a secret weapon for huge-sounding guitars. It's also great for enhancing the stereo space of your mixes and creating warmth and bottom.

A little plastic box that made speakers sound bigger.

The Original WOW Thing was $20 and made cheap speakers sound more spacious and full. It achieved this effect by using radical equalization and some bizarre psychoacoustic processing using delays and phase. It worked, but it was weird and quirky. Definitely NOT a pro-audio device... until a major rock engineer discovered that it did amazing things to guitars when he recorded one of the most influential and successful metal albums on the planet. The WOW Thing became the secret sauce on many iconic albums.

An industry secret, now a plug-in.

Dan Korneff managed to buy a WOW Thing fifteen years ago and it became a staple of his guitar processing. However, he wanted to use it on background vocals and reverbs, and the original boxes are hard to come by. So he recreated it and now it's available as a plug-in.

Think of WOW Thing as an acoustic hug: anytime you want a sound to stretch beyond the confines of the normal stereo field, the WOW Thing is the thing.

If you're looking for freaky Lo-Fi mystery, the WOW Thing is your cheap plastic friend, now in convenient plug-in form.

Neural DSP Archetype: Cory Wong X

Archetype: Cory Wong X
An incredibly versatile plugin, designed to offer a wide variety of options for players in search of the perfect clean and edge-of-break-up tones

It is hard to think of many artists that have been able to achieve what Vulfpeck has. The perfect combination of insane talent, fantastic music, and branding genius has taken them from their DIY roots to amassing an internationally revered cult-like fanbase, selling out Madison Square Garden. In that, Cory Wong has become a modern guitar hero, known for his unique playing style and perfect tone.

Cory's uncompromising standards and borderline unrealistic expectations for perfection provided the challenge we were after. The result is unlike anything we have done before: an incredibly versatile plugin, designed to offer a wide variety of options for players in search of the perfect clean and edge-of-break-up tones.

We proudly present you, Archetype: Cory Wong X.

Wah

We meticulously crafted the exact sweep Cory wanted in a wah pedal. By mapping a MIDI controllable expression pedal, you can quickly set the plugin to learn the range of your pedal giving you full control of the sweep. If you don't have an expression pedal, enable auto-wah for endless whacca-whacca fun.

Pre Effects

Featuring a collection of Cory's favourite pedals, these virtual models will give you everything from out-and-out funk tones to beautiful tube amp saturation:

The Postal Service: A complex envelope filter with a simple user interface. The 4th Position Compressor: Cory's signature sound; giving you all the squish and punchiness a modern compressor should. The Tuber: A modded classic; a booster loved by tube amp fanatics. The Big Rig Overdrive: A heavy and powerful overdrive pedal that pushes saturation to the beginnings of fuzz.

Amps

D.I. Funk Console: Based on an analog channel strip, the D.I. Funk Console allows you to recreate the classic "bubble tone". Featuring Tube Saturation, a powerful Compressor, selectable frequencies on the EQ section, and High Pass and Low Pass filters for ultimate control. The D.I. Funk Console works great without a cabinet. Bypass it to add some vintage color to your D.I. signal. The Clean Machine: An amalgamation of the best clean amps in the industry, this amp was customized to Cory's needs, adding a bigger range of control and versatility. The result delivers crisp, clean tones with a beautifully warm top end. The Amp Snob: A model of one of the rarest amplifiers in history, the Amp Snob is incredibly versatile: At lower gain settings you can achieve crystal clear clean tones. Crank the gain and master volume controls for the iconic edge of breakup tone.

Five years ago, we embarked on a groundbreaking journey with one of the most innovative and refreshing electric guitarists of our time, Plini. His remarkable sound, a blend of progressive, fusion, and metal styles, inspired us to create a plugin that could match his versatility and artistry.

Plini's collaboration brought out the best in us as engineers and musicians, inspiring us to create a plugin equipped with cutting-edge technology. What emerged was Archetype: Plini, a sonic masterpiece that not only met Plini's exacting standards but set a new standard in the industry.

Five years later, we're pleased to introduce an evolution of our original masterpiece, providing artists with the modern tools they need to bring their musical visions to life, echoing the success and artistic growth that Plini has achieved over the past half-decade. It's a reflection of our commitment to enhancing the music-making experience and celebrating Plini's extraordinary contribution to the world of music.

We proudly present to you, Archetype: Plini X.

Pre Effects

Compressor: A virtual-analog model of a widely used bus compressor. The compressor's threshold control is linked to the makeup gain so that the output volume stays constant throughout different settings. Octaver: A simple octaver provides a blendable octave above and octave below your guitar signal. Drive: A boost/overdrive pedal allows for further tone tweaking for tighter rhythms and saturated lead. The brand-new fuzz switch brings even more tonal variation with rich harmonic distortion. Delay: Experiment with depth and ambience using a rich delay pedal. Create unique textures and soundscapes, play with feedback and explore unconventional delay effects.

Amps

Clean: Transparent, punchy, and crystal-clean. This amplifier embodies all the definition, size, and headroom of some of the most sought after and elusive boutique amplifiers in the world in a channel that sounds as distinguished and elegant as it looks. Crunch: The perfect mid-point between clean and high gain. Capturing the clarity and crisp sound of the best new-wave British tones with an added twist. Lead: Building upon the Crunch amplifier with an additional triode gain stage, this amplifier was designed with leads and hot-rodded, heavy riffs in mind. It also works extremely well with extended range guitars. EQ: One per amplifier, with high & low pass filters for total control over frequency response.

Cabsim + IR Loader

A comprehensive cabsim module with hundreds of IRs captured by Neural DSP and 6 virtual microphones that can be easily positioned around the speakers. This module also serves as a standard IR loader.

Post Effects

Chorus: A deep modulation effect that can switch between a vintage option for traditional 80s swirls or a spatial option for a more modern, atmospheric effect. Delay: A simple and rich digital delay featuring our proprietary Tape Saturation algorithm for the perfect combination between cutting edge-technology and vintage warmth and color. A brand-new Tape Modulation algorithm provides nostalgic imperfections inherent in tape delay machines. Reverb: The multidimensional reverb offers a huge, beautiful sound that takes you to wide and narrow dimensions with the Space and Decay controls.

Transpose: Pitch your guitar up or down by a constant interval (+12/-12 semitones). Use this to easily change the tuning of your instrument.

Doubler: Project your signal to a simulated stereo field giving you the sound of a double-tracked recording.

Metronome

To perfectly supplement your practice, the metronome allows you to control time signature, accent sounds, and note values (the metronome is only available in Standalone).

Tuner

Now featuring an additional live tuner that displays at the bottom of the UI.

Standalone

Neural DSP Parallax X

Parallax X
Everything you need to design the ultimate bass tone.

Divide and Conquer

For decades, parallel bass processing has been a cornerstone of powerful bass tones. Traditionally, this involves configuring dual rigs or multiple plugins to distort the treble for clarity and aggression while compressing the lows for a massive foundation.

Parallax X revolutionizes this process by offering comprehensive parallel processing within a single plugin. It provides everything you need to craft the ultimate bass tone, combining precision, flexibility, and power in one intuitive interface.

Low Compression

Dialing in a high-gain sound with presence, definition, and clarity requires that a certain amount of low end is removed from the spectrum to be distorted. Dedicated processing for the low-end of the spectrum, precisely controlled by our bus compressor algorithm, provides a seemingly infinite amount of size on tap.

Distortion

The mid and treble bands are processed separately using our proprietary tube modeling technology, resulting in rich harmonics and a natural response:

Mid Distortion: Distorts the midrange of the spectrum to add a throatier color and enhance note articulation. High Distortion: Distorts the high end of the spectrum, allowing you to add the perfect amount of fuzz or tightness.

Equalizer

The six-band graphic equalizer provides an additional control layer for fine-tuning the frequency response to perfection.

Cabsim

Parallax X includes a comprehensive cabinet simulation section with six virtual microphones that can be moved around the speaker for maximum flexibility. When distorted, the higher end of the register truly benefits from well-captured speaker impulses, as the inherent frequency response shapes the distortion in a very musical manner. The cabsim module only affects the Mid and High bands to avoid issues with the low end.

Transpose

Pitch your bass up or down by a constant interval (+12/-12 semitones). Use this feature to easily change the tuning of your instrument.

Tuner

Now features an additional live tuner displayed at the bottom of the UI.

Metronome

To perfectly supplement your practice, the metronome allows you to control the time signature, accent sounds, and note values (the metronome is only available on the Standalone App).
