still.synth has announced the release of still.synth, a chord instrument for macOS and Windows built for playing chord progressions live instead of drawing them in. You hold one of eight chord shapes (Dim, Maj, Min, Sus, 6, m7, M7, 9) with one hand and press a root with the other. The roots follow the key and scale you pick, so every chord stays in key. A bassline plays under the chords, and a drum engine runs in the host’s tempo, so a whole part can be sketched in one instance and then moved to the DAW as audio or MIDI. Key Features Chords from two keys: a shape plus a root, always in the chosen key and scale. Play modes: held chords, strums, arpeggios up and down, and rhythm patterns that stab the chord on a step grid. Bassline under the chords, with 12 bass sounds. Drum engine with 8 kits and 10 patterns. Kits and patterns can be switched between bars, and fills land on the next downbeat. Looper with a 4-bar loop and up to 32 layers. The first note starts the loop, and each new layer ends on the nearest bar. Takes are recorded as WAV and MIDI and can be dragged straight onto a DAW track. Plays from a MIDI keyboard, a pad controller or the computer keyboard. Any CC, note or pad can be learned to a control. Pricing & Availability still.synth is available now for macOS (VST3, AU, Standalone) and Windows (VST3, Standalone). It costs USD 39 during the beta and USD 59 after it. A demo video and examples of songs built on the looper are on the product website. Read More

Kael Barba has released CosmicSynth v0.1.0, a free VST3 synthesizer designed to bridge the gap between astrophysics and music. The project grew out of Kael’s interest in studying physics and outer space, and the idea that music and sound waves are fundamentally rooted in physics. CosmicSynth uses gravitational-wave data to create and manipulate sound. Gravitational waves are ripples in spacetime detected by observatories such as the Laser Interferometer Gravitational-Wave Observatory (LIGO), produced by events including colliding black holes. Users can upload compatible waveform data into the synthesizer, which dynamically responds by modulating pitch and filtering. CosmicSynth includes five main presets, each based on a different astrophysical phenomenon. To the right of the gravitational-wave visualizer, there’s a live spectrogram, so users can see the waveform and the sound changing as they play. Availability CosmicSynth v0.1.0 is available now for Windows in VST3 format, and it’s completely free and open source. This is Kael’s first public release, and he welcomes feedback from the community. Users are encouraged to share what they make with CosmicSynth and suggest improvements for future versions.

Igor Vasiliev has updated HollowTone – Deep Ambient Worlds App for iOS and macOS to version 1.1. They say: HollowTone isn’t a traditional synthesizer or a simple ambient player. It’s a procedural audio instrument that lets you shape entire environments with just a few gestures, creating spaces that feel alive, mysterious, and gently immersive. Changes: In addition to the main stereo output, each HollowTone layer can now be routed to its own dedicated output channel. This gives you the freedom to build custom layer mixes, process individual layers with different effects, and create more detailed and immersive sonic environments within your host application. The Harmonics panel now displays the generated tones for both HollowPulse and VeilBreath across all Ratio values, making it easier to explore and fine-tune harmonic relationships. A new Reset Ratio command has also been added to the Harmonics panel options. It resets the Ratio parameter to its default state, allowing microtonal tuning to be performed exclusively with the Fine control when desired. Availability HollowTone is available for $14.99 in the App Store. Demos and reviews: motion-soundscape.blogspot.com YouTube.com/watch?v=iE_cTZrVPBs Read More

Slypork has released KerBy, a kick and bass instrument plugin for electronic music producers, and DucKy, a free ducking plugin that works alongside it. Both are available for macOS and Windows in VST3 and AU formats. KerBy KerBy plays a kick and a bass together from one MIDI note, so the two are written and shaped in one place. It has two modes. In Live, a held note pulses each voice at its own rate, in time with the host. In Draw, each note in the piano roll is one hit of both voices. Key Features: Each voice plays a drawn waveform or a sample, shaped with amp, pitch and filter curves. The bass ducks under the kick by default, on a curve that can be redrawn. Auto-align sets the phase of each bass hit against the kick’s tail as it plays, so the two don’t cancel each other out. The two voices’ scopes can be merged to show where the kick and bass overlap. A bar can be dragged from a scope into the host as audio, or back onto a voice as a sample. A modulation matrix has eight macros, eight LFOs and up to 32 routes, and a scale lock covers both voices. KerBy costs US$39 until 24 November 2026 and US$49 after that. A playable demo of KerBy runs in the browser on its product page. DucKy DucKy ducks any track or group on the beat, on MIDI notes or on KerBy’s kick. Triggered by KerBy, it ducks on every kick with no sidechain routing. DucKy is free (pay what you want).

Numerical has released version 1.2 of its music toolkit for iPad and iPhone, and with it a new name: MIDIRack is now Konstrukt. The update hosts third-party AUv3 plug-ins, gives the app a full audio path managed on a new Rack page, adds new sequencers, and introduces Fragments to the graph editor. It is a free update for existing MIDIRack owners; purchases, patches, presets and settings carry over. Konstrukt is a kit of parts for building a groovebox, a controller for a DAW, an MPE instrument or a sequencer for hardware: a performance surface of touch keyboards, pads, knobs and sequencer lanes; built-in instruments and effects or the user’s own plug-ins; and a visual graph underneath that connects all of it with MIDI wires and audio cables. AUv3 hosting and sound The standalone app hosts AUv3 instruments, effects and MIDI effects inside the patch, each with its own floating window and presets, and with parameters that bind to surface controls like any other. Without a plug-in it makes sound on its own: the Analog and Wavetable synths, MegaSaw, Drums, a Sampler and a loop Slicer, with Drive, Filter, Delay, Reverb, Compressor, EQ, Chorus and Phaser, each with a hardware-style panel. The built-in instruments ship 164 factory sounds, sorted by shelf. The Rack A new page for the audio side. Every instrument gets a channel strip with fader, pan, mute and solo, insert effects, pre- or post-fader sends to bus strips, sidechain routing and MIDI Learn; the master has its own inserts, and scenes recall every level with a fade. An External Instrument channel puts hardware on a MIDI output on the same rack. The Rack and the graph are two views of one thing: the graph editor always shows the routing the Rack describes. Audio in, recording and sync A microphone or instrument comes in on its own channel, and the transport records the master and armed channels to 24-bit WAV. Also new: Ableton Link, MIDI clock in and out, tap tempo, a metronome with count-in, and multi-output routing on multi-channel interfaces. New Sequencers Drum Grid — a whole kit’s rows on one card. Stage Seq — a Metropolis-style lane of eight stages, each a pitch and a pulse count with a gate mode, ratchet, slide and skip. Chord Seq — gains Rhythm, Strum and Voicing layers. Fragments (Graph Editor) Select a cluster of graph nodes and save it as one card with its own input and output ports. The surface controls bound to those nodes travel with it, so a saved fragment drops into any patch as a unit from a personal library, and can be opened and edited in place. Also in 1.2: Generators that write a Drum, Drum Grid, Step, Analog or Chord Seq pattern from a style and a Complexity slider; the result is an ordinary pattern to edit. New Patch templates and two new factory patches, Night Drive and Echo Chamber. New characters for the Delay, Reverb and Drive. More than eighty node kinds in the graph editor, where a send is an audio cable with a level and a sidechain is a key port. About the name MIDIRack launched in August 2026 as a MIDI instrument builder. With plug-in hosting, its own instruments and an audio path, the name no longer described the app. The AUv3 stays where hosts expect it, and the virtual MIDI port keeps the name “MIDIRack Out”, so existing setups continue to work. Pricing & Availability Konstrukt 1.2 is available now on the App Store as a free update, for iPad (iPadOS 17 or later) and iPhone (iOS 17 or later), standalone and as an AUv3 MIDI processor or instrument in hosts. Plug-in hosting, audio input and recording are features of the standalone app. Konstrukt is currently on sale: $7.99 for the app and $7.99 for the Graph Editor, a one-time in-app unlock (regularly $14.99 each). No subscription; one purchase covers iPad and iPhone. Read More

Reasonable Audio has released Preamble, a free preamp distortion plug-in that captures the input stage of a particular bucket-brigade delay pedal, without the delay. Preamble is designed to shape a sound on its way into the next stage of a chain. On guitar, it smooths out an edgy DI before it hits the amp and adds touch sensitivity that follows how hard the player picks. Drums, bass and synths gain character too, and the input level decides whether the result is a gentle polish or a full-on buzz. Pushed hard, intermodulation distortion adds discordant tones of its own. The model was developed by training a series of neural models on the pedal and A/B-testing each one against it by ear, with detailed measurements alongside, on quiet and loud material and across bass and midrange. Preamble started life during the development of Buckets, a bucket-brigade delay plug-in from Reasonable Audio due in early 2027. Key Features The input level sets how much saturation and compression the modelled preamp adds. Autogain keeps the output level steady as the input is pushed, so changes in tone can be heard without a jump in volume. Lo Cut and Hi Cut filter only the processed signal, and a Mix control blends in the dry signal for parallel processing. Each stereo channel runs through its own instance of the model, so the stereo image is kept. Oversampling (2x or 4x) keeps aliasing down when bright sounds are pushed hard. Pricing & Availability Preamble is free and requires a free Reasonable Audio account to activate. It was released on 11 November 2026 and is available for Windows, macOS and Linux in VST3, AU, CLAP and AAX formats. An iOS version (AUv3) is coming soon. YouTube/tNUxJr36CxI Read More

UVI has announced the release of Twin 88 Keys, a concert grand and a vintage electric piano in a single, expressive instrument. The Grand & The Electric The grand is a CFX recorded in California with the finest studio gear, with mixable close, cinematic, and mono microphones. The electric was deeply sampled in Paris on every key at multiple velocities, with mixable DI and mic signals: warm and bell-like under a light touch, barks when played hard. UVI says both were captured across their full dynamic range, along with the small sounds that make a piano feel alive: pedal and release noise, key-off sounds, and the grand’s sympathetic resonance, each with its own level. Keys, Together Or Apart Four controls decide how the two share the keyboard. Blend by velocity, and the grand turns electric as the player digs in. Split them by range, with one piano carrying the bass and the other singing above it. Blend by tone, darkening one piano so the other comes forward, or turn a single knob from pure grand to pure electric and stop anywhere between. Room To Explore Each piano has its own microphones, filters, EQ, envelope, and modulation, so the electric can tremble, drift, or travel across the stereo field while the grand stays perfectly still. The Motion arpeggiator can animate either piano on its own, Color, Dynamic, Mute, and Intensity reshape the sound from the main page, and a full effects chain with drive, grains, chorus, delay, and reverb carries both pianos well past their usual territory, from an intimate ballad to a wide ambient texture. Pricing & Availability Twin 88 Keys is available now for $49 / 49€ (regularly $99 / 99€) on uvi.net; special offers valid through November 22nd, 2026. Twin 88 Keys offers native 64-bit standalone operation by way of Falcon or the free UVI Player, providing comprehensive support for all modern DAWs and simultaneous authorization on up to 3 computers or iLok keys.

Anukari has updated its 3D Physics Synthesizer to version 1.1, the first major update since 1.0 in June. Anukari makes sound from a real-time 3D physics simulation: you build instruments from masses and springs, play them with mallets, bows, plectrums or any audio input, and place virtual microphones around them. Version 1.1 adds resonating strings, bars, plates, membranes, tubes and bells, a mouthpiece for blowing into instruments, and more than 1,000 new presets. After 1.0, I read every message people sent me, and the same ideas kept coming up. Version 1.1 is basically that list. Resonators were at the top of it, but nearly every feature in this release exists because a user asked for it. Evan Mezeske Changes in this update Resonators: strings, bars, plates, membranes, tubes and bells that can be struck, bowed, rubbed or blown, and wired into mass-and-spring structures, so a bouncing weight can drum on a plate or a swinging structure can vibrate a string. A mouthpiece exciter that drives tubes and other resonators with breath, like a clarinet or trumpet. New physical models for the bow, mallet and plectrum. New spring types that collide or hold rigid shapes, for wind chimes, rattles and clattering machines. The Modulosphere, a sphere that moves through the 3D scene and modulates whatever it touches. Tools that generate whole shapes and duplicate pieces in patterns, so large structures no longer have to be built by hand. MCP support, so an AI assistant the user already runs can build instruments in Anukari. No AI is built in. Over 1,000 new factory presets in four banks, including orchestral instruments built entirely from physics. A redesigned preset browser with search, filters and favorites. Legato and glide, editable envelope and velocity curves, and reduced CPU use. YouTube/eS5KkCLxFXU YouTube/PexTyC0TBO4 Read More

Linux support was requested in the IMFMSynth thread on the KVR forum. Most of the other changes since v1.1.6 came from user requests and bug reports. The update is free for existing owners. Linux version (v1.1.10): Formats: VST3 and CLAP, x86_64. Systems: Ubuntu 22.04 or later, Debian 12 or later, Fedora, and RHEL / Rocky / AlmaLinux 9 or later (glibc 2.34 or later), in an X11 or XWayland session. Licence: Existing licences work on Linux at no extra cost. Editor: Runs in its own process with a bundled Chromium. Install: Extract the tar.gz and run ./install.sh in a terminal. It asks for sudo once, for the editor runtime in /opt and, on Ubuntu 23.10 or later, an AppArmor profile that keeps Chromium’s sandbox on. Tested in: REAPER and Bitwig Studio (VST3, CLAP) and Ardour (VST3). Also since v1.1.6: Light theme (v1.1.8): Requested in the buyer survey. A cream-coloured light theme can be selected in Settings. Its colours were chosen with colour-vision simulation, checking contrast and how well they stay apart for different kinds of colour vision. Dotted note values (v1.1.8): Requested in a comment on the YouTube walkthrough video. Tempo-synced delay and modulation offer dotted lengths (1/4., 1/8. and so on) alongside triplets. The length lists show note symbols. Computer keyboard keys reach the DAW (v1.1.9): DAW features that play notes from the computer keyboard now work while the plug-in window has focus. Text fields and Ctrl / Cmd shortcuts still go to the plug-in. Fixes and improvements: The 6-OP algorithm picker now numbers its operators the same way as the operator rows (v1.1.7, reported on KVR). In POINTS envelopes, a dragged point now stays under the mouse, and the time axis grows gradually past the right edge (v1.1.8). The first render of a newly inserted instance now starts at full level instead of sometimes fading in over about 7 ms (v1.1.10). Pricing & Availability IMFMSynth is available for Windows (VST3, CLAP), macOS (VST3, AU, CLAP) and Linux (VST3, CLAP) as a one-time purchase, currently at the launch price of $19 (€17 in the euro area, ¥3,000 in Japan). The price goes up in four steps as the number of buyers grows, and every increase is announced on the price plan page before it takes effect: Price plan: imfm-synth.com/en/pricing Linux details: imfm-synth.com/en/linux Full release notes: imfm-synth.com/en/changelog Read More

noizplay has updated nyVERB core, the free edition of its nyVERB reverb plug-in, to v1.2.2. The update introduces six profiles (room, drums, vocal, plate, wash and sync) that define how the single space knob drives the reverb engine, from a booth to a cathedral and from a tight drum room to an endless wash. The sync profile steps decay and pre-delay to the host tempo, from 1/16 to 2 bars. Version 1.2.2 also adds an optional update check and includes stability fixes. Sessions saved with earlier versions open with the room profile. Read More

DirektDSP has released Polygraph, a real-time, polyphonic guitar-to-MIDI plugin. Polygraph claims to turn the electric guitar you already own into a polyphonic MIDI controller, live in your DAW. Plug in one cable, no hex pickup, and chords come out as chords, bends follow the string and a re-pluck retriggers the note. Tracking runs locally, inside the plugin on your computer. The trade-off is about 70 ms of look-ahead latency, however this is compensated for in the DAW compensates for it, so recorded MIDI lands on the beat, but monitoring a fast lead line live through the built-in synth will feel late. Features Polyphonic tracking of chords, single notes, bends and re-plucks from an electric guitar, along with other instruments (piano, synths) being somewhat supported. Lead mode tracks one note at a time with full pitch bend/MPE. Scale Lock locks output MIDI to 12 premade scales (including major, minor, pentatonics, blues and modes) or custom notes]. A Built-in synth with five different waveforms & an ADSR envelope. Preset manager with multiple categories. A PDF user manual. Pricing & Availability Polygraph is available on release sale now for Windows, macOS and Linux in VST3, AU, CLAP and Standalone formats. The Release Sale price is EUR 129.99 / USD 120 until 31 December 2026 (Reg. EUR 199.99 / USD 184). Read More

quietformat has released Cernion, an advanced wavetable synthesizer designed to combine deep sound design with intuitive, hands-on control. Its tools support traditional synthesizer sounds as well as evolving textures, cinematic effects and experimental sound design. Cernion makes complex modulation playable Each modulation assignment can have its own depth and response curve. A single macro can drive a wide filter sweep while making a subtle change to an effect.
