United Plugins has announced the release of TrapTune Core, a lightweight version of their automatic vocal tuner, TrapTune. The plugin joins the United Free Bundle collection and focuses strictly on pitch correction, omitting several features from the full version to provide a lower CPU footprint. Core Architecture and Features TrapTune Core retains the principal Tune-In engine found in the original software. It provides access to natural pitch correction, hard-tuning vocal styles, formant shifting, voice transposing, and scale selection. To streamline the interface and improve processing efficiency, the following modules from the full version of TrapTune have been excluded: Second Voice: The unison harmony and stereo doubler controls. Distortion: The vocal saturation and overdrive section. Space and Time Effects: The built-in delay and plate reverb processors. Licensing and the United Free Bundle TrapTune Core is distributed as a free download. The software has no time limits, structural restrictions, or audio dropouts, but it does display a small promotional banner at the bottom of the user interface. Note for Existing License Holders: Users who already own the premium United Free Bundle license will find the ad-free version of TrapTune Core automatically credited to their accounts. Additionally, those who own the full version of TrapTune can install and use TrapTune Core directly, as the full license unlocks the Core version and removes the advertisements automatically. Bundle Expansion The addition of TrapTune Core brings the total number of tools in the UnitedFree Bundle to eleven. The complete list of free, ad-supported plugins now includes: TrapTune Core (Vocal pitch correction and formant shifting). QuickVox Core (Simplified vocal channel strip). Retronaut Core (Vintage modulation and tape effects). Electrum Core (Guitar amplifier and cabinet simulator). Bassment Core (Bass amplification utility). Orbitron Core (Multi-modulation engine).

discoDSP has updated Discovery Pro to v8.22, adding two new GUI sizes (1.25x and 1.75x) for crisp, sharply scaled interfaces between the existing tiers, plus visual destination feedback for the modulation sources: changing where LFO 1, LFO 2 or the Mod Envelope is routed now briefly blinks the target control so you can see at a glance what the modulation is affecting. Version 8.22 is about seeing your sound. The new 1.25x and 1.75x zoom levels fill the gaps between the 1x, 1.5x and 2x tiers for five selectable interface sizes in total, resampled from high-resolution source assets with a Lanczos filter for sharp rendering on standard and Retina displays. Destination blink feedback flashes the exact control an LFO or Mod Envelope routes to, so modulation routing is obvious the moment you change it. What’s New in Discovery Pro v8.22 1.25x and 1.75x GUI Sizes: two new zoom levels fill the gaps between the 1x, 1.5x and 2x tiers, giving five selectable interface sizes in total. Rather than stretching the existing artwork, these sizes are resampled from high-resolution source assets with a Lanczos filter for sharp, clean rendering on both standard and Retina displays. The first time you select a new size for a skin the assets are prepared in the background; after that the size applies instantly. Revised Skins: the Default, Silver Haze and Shadow Wave skins have been redrawn from high-resolution sources and repackaged losslessly, for cleaner artwork that scales sharply across every interface size. Sharper LED Alignment: status LEDs are now drawn as live overlays rather than being baked into the background, so they line up precisely and stay crisp at all GUI sizes, including the new 1.25x and 1.75x zooms. Destination Blink Feedback: changing an LFO 1, LFO 2 or Mod Envelope destination now flashes the control it routes to. Knob destinations (FM, Pulse Width, Filter Cutoff, Amp Gain) pulse their LED ring at full range, while oscillator destinations blink the corresponding waveform LEDs. The Mod Envelope’s Oscillator 2 + Wave destination also blinks the wave tab indicator. The feedback works from the destination button, its LEDs, the transparent labels and the right-click menus, and always flashes only the final destination. This update is free for all 8.x customers. Discovery Pro is available for Windows, macOS (including Apple Silicon), and Linux in VST, VST3, AU, AAX, and standalone formats. Read More

Arvital Soft has announced the release of version 0.2.0 of AudioRoute, now with an Audio Effect plug-in variant.

HPDoctor from 091Audio, a free high-precision high-pass filter for the low end — 1–150 Hz, fractional slopes from 1 to 24 dB/oct, and seven filter types — has been updated to v1.1. Version 1.1 Changes The editor window is now freely resizable from 0.8× to 2.0×, with a locked aspect ratio. The chosen size is persisted per instance with the project and falls back to your last global setting on new instances. The -3 dB filter calibration is also more accurate. On the elliptic and both Chebyshev filter types, the actual -3 dB point could previously deviate from the target frequency under certain settings; it now lands on the target consistently across all filter types. HPDoctor 1.1 is available for VST3 and AU on macOS, Windows and Linux. Read More

FruityAlfred Software has released three audio tools for producers. DAWs can’t batch-process. Nobody builds what producers actually need, so I built it myself. Founder Alfredo Botta LoopMaster LoopMaster is a browser-based loop & sample extractor: upload any track, and its beat-tracking/chroma/MFCC engine finds musically meaningful loops you can preview for free. Your first loop is free (email verification); from there it’s pay as you go from €0.50, no subscription. MP3 and WAV up to 150 MB. Magic Audio FX Editor Magic Audio FX Editor (€79) revives the standalone mastering workflow discontinued with iZotope Ozone’s standalone editor — VST3 chains with real plugin GUIs, built-in LUFS/True Peak QC, and batch processing for entire libraries. Track Management Track Management (launch price €149) is an offline audio workstation built around the user’s own library: analysis, stem separation, a proprietary DSP-based Loop Finder, cross-track stem mixing with VST3 on every level, BPM matching and live recording. The two standalone tools are offline-first with no subscription and lifetime updates; LoopMaster runs entirely in the browser with nothing to install. Free trials are available across the range.

Pitch Innovations has announced the release of Loop2Kit, a new intelligent sampling instrument that transforms audio loops into playable instruments using automated analysis and sample organization. Designed for producers, beatmakers, composers, and sound designers, Loop2Kit automatically analyzes drum loops, melodic phrases, vocal chops, percussion recordings, and other audio material, then slices, groups, and maps the resulting sounds into playable kits. The plugin also generates round robins from source audio to create more natural and expressive performances. Unlike traditional samplers that require extensive manual editing, Loop2Kit uses dedicated Drum and Melody analysis algorithms to organize audio automatically, enabling users to quickly remix, rearrange, and create new musical ideas from existing recordings. Additional features include a 12-pad performance workflow, deep sample editing tools, custom kit creation, integrated effects, automatic round robin generation, and a creative radial sequencer designed for generating grooves and evolving rhythmic patterns. {PRODUCT-HEADER-36083-loop2kit}. Key Features Intelligent Loop Analysis. Advanced Auto Round Robin and Group Editing. Radial sequencer & Built-In Effects. 16-pad performance workflow. Velocity Sensitive Performance.

Bitwig has announced the release of the Bitwig Studio 6.1 BETA, a point-update to its digital audio workstation that delivers a substantial structural overhaul to the built-in Sampler device. The update introduces expanded playback architectures, advanced slicing modes, native intelligent pitch analysis, and a dedicated utility device for real-time frequency analysis. Advanced Slicing and New Playback Engines The core Sampler device has been rewritten to feature versatile slicing options accessible across all playback modes. Users can implement five distinct slicing methods driven by divisions, beats, transients, or pitch data. This architecture supports per-slice modulation routing and independent looping controls for highly articulate sample manipulation. Two new specialized playback engines expand the device’s signal processing capabilities: Spectral Mode: Utilizing a fast Fourier transform (FFT) architecture, this engine provides time-stretching with independent transient preservation and formant processing. It allows for radical time-stretching synchronized to project tempo or manual harmonic transformation. Reddit. Fragments Mode: A comprehensive granular engine capable of generating up to 256 discrete grains per voice. Users can adjust grain rate, spatial position, size, and motion parameters. It can be synchronized to the grid for rhythmic density or run free-field to generate dense acoustic clouds. Real-Time Analysis and Voice Processing Bitwig Studio 6.1 integrates an automatic pitch analysis engine directly into the sample import pipeline. Upon import, the software detects the root key change over time, enabling incoming audio data to be dynamically repitched across the keyboard layout to follow polyphonic MIDI input. Additionally, the Sampler introduces hardware emulation characters designed to alter incoming voice profiles per-voice. This includes analog-style saturation modeling, magnetic tape behavior, and classic 1990s downsampling topologies. Outside of the Sampler, version 6.1 introduces the Tuner device, which is available as both a standard utility insertion and a module inside The Grid environment. It features dual display paradigms (visual tuning spokes and a continuous pitch history graph) to assist in quick instrument calibration and fine-tuning. Additional Features and Enhancements The Grid Expansion: New options and modules implemented inside the modular DSP workspace to interface with updated sampling techniques. Bell Filter: A new filter slope morphology added to the Sampler’s integrated processing block. Workflow Adjustments: Modifier-key workflows enhanced for drag-and-drop operations using ALT, CTRL, or CMD context flags. Keyboard shortcut focus handling between the Detail Editor and hovered panels has been optimized. Reddit. Pricing & Availability Bitwig Studio 6.1 is currently in beta and is available for download immediately to all users with an active 12-Month Upgrade Plan. The full retail license for Bitwig Studio is priced at $399, with Bitwig Studio Producer at $199, and Bitwig Studio Essentials at $99.

Growl Audio has updated gFractor, its spectrum analyzer plug-in, to version 1.2.0. The update adds a new waterfall view, band audition, a split spectrum layout, smoothing and tilt controls, draggable curve ordering and a mono-sum channel mode, alongside a reorganised settings layout, a reworked light theme, a new about dialog and performance work across the oscilloscope and analyzer. New in this version: Waterfall view: a third main view alongside spectrum and oscilloscope, built on a reassigned spectrogram that snaps energy to its true time and frequency location, so a pure tone paints a single line rather than a smeared band. It offers selectable FFT size (2k, 4k, 8k), a freeze control, a reassignment on/off toggle and low-level gating to suppress phantom-harmonic stippling. Band audition: click any of the seven frequency-band tabs to solo that band (band-pass), Cmd-click to latch it, or right-click to cut it (notch). Solo and cut are visually distinct and colour-blind friendly. Split spectrum view: stacks the primary channel in the top half and the secondary in the bottom half to compare them without overlap, the same way the split scope works. Spectrum smoothing: fractional-octave smoothing (off, 1/3, 1/6, 1/12). Spectrum tilt: a slope control (0, +1.5, +3, +4.5, +6 dB/oct) to match common analysis curves. Curve ordering: drag to choose which analyzer curves draw on top. Spectrum interpolation: smooths the spectrum and ghost-spectrum curves between bins, especially at lower FFT sizes. Hover readout toggle: a show-tooltip option turns the crosshair, glow dots and frequency, dB and note balloon on or off. Adjustable dB range for the spectrum’s vertical scale. Mono-sum (L+R) channel mode for quick mono-compatibility checks, alongside the existing mid/side, left/right and transient/tonal modes. Spectrum fill modes: none, gradient or solid, with a per-display high-DPI option. Larger FFT sizes up to 16384, plus additional overlap options. CRT scope filter with a denser grid graticule for the oscilloscope. A new about dialog with the product brand mark, a product link and credits. The standalone application now uses the native OS title bar, and audio device settings have moved into the Help menu. Other refinements include settings reorganised into six themed tabs, a reworked light theme with curve colours now driven by the active theme, additional LUFS meter modes, hint-bar filtering with a new band-hints toggle, removal of the watermark from the spectrum and oscilloscope views, and OpenGL now off by default (still available in the preferences) for broader stability. The release also brings performance work: the oscilloscope now decodes and draws incrementally in sync with the transport for smoother scrolling and lower CPU use during playback, and spectrum curve rendering is cheaper. A number of bugs have been fixed, including the Windows build. Availability gFractor 1.2.0 is a free download for macOS (10.13 or later, universal binary for Apple Silicon and Intel) and Windows (10 and 11), in VST3, AU and standalone formats. It is fully compatible with sessions and presets saved in earlier 1.0.x and 1.1.x versions, and can be installed over a previous version. Read More

Cherry Audio has announced the availability of Ensoniq ESQ-1, a virtual synthesizer that emulates the classic 1986 ESQ-1 polyphonic hybrid digital/analog synthesizer in software form. The release marks a first-of-its-kind collaboration between Cherry Audio and Creative Technology, the current owner of the Ensoniq intellectual property. Through official licensing, Cherry Audio built the instrument around the original 32 ESQ-1 waveforms, faithfully reproducing the complex, evolving, and richly textured sounds that defined the hardware. Cherry Audio modeled the sonic signature of the renowned Curtis CEM3379 analog low-pass filter, along with the four DCAs, four multistage envelopes, three LFOs, amplitude modulation, and oscillator sync. The software also supports drag-and-drop import of patches and banks from original ESQ-1 SysEx files or directly via MIDI from the hardware. It can also export SysEx patch files compatible with the original instrument. While the 1986 ESQ-1 required users to program much of its functionality through a small display and a data slider, Cherry Audio brings every control to the surface. The interface is organized into five sections — Play, Edit, Modulation, Envelopes, and Sequencer — making the powerful signal path far easier to understand and edit. Cherry Audio’s modern enhancements extend the instrument well beyond its origins. A highly optimized stereo dual-layer architecture supports up to 32 polyphonic voices per layer, enabling multitimbral split and stacked modes with independent controls. A comprehensive four-slot modulation matrix offers 41 sources and 85 destinations with click-to-assign functionality. Performers gain expanded expression possibilities through channel aftertouch, polyphonic aftertouch, and a flexible new MPE (MIDI Polyphonic Expression) system. The built-in arpeggiator and the syncable, transposable 16×4 polyphonic step sequencer add a dynamic quality that transcends the hardware itself. These features include options for humanizing patterns, and users can assign steps to either notes or modulations. ESQ-1 also offers three customizable effect chains with 20 studio-quality effects, enabling users to easily arrange, save, and recall their settings. Additionally, it comes with over 400 presets, including the original ESQ-1 factory patches, to inspire instant creativity. Partnering with Cherry Audio to revive the original sound of the ESQ-1 has been a truly rewarding collaboration. Ensoniq represents a significant chapter in Creative Technology’s history, and we are proud to see the authentic sound of the ESQ-1 preserved and made accessible to a new generation of musicians on the 40th anniversary of its release. Creative Technology stands behind its mission of bringing audio technology and people together, helping them to elevate their audio experience and connect on a deeper level with their music. Koh Zi Kai, Head of Licensing at Creative Technology Ltd. The ESQ-1 is an important part of synthesizer history, and we aimed to honor that legacy with the depth and accuracy it deserves. From the original waveforms to the precise modeling of the filter, we have carefully crafted every detail to capture what made the hardware iconic, while also providing today’s musicians with the modern tools and expressiveness they expect. Dan Goldstein, CTO at Cherry Audio Cherry Audio also offers the Soniq Odysseys Preset Pack for the ESQ-1, priced at $9.99. Created by sound designer James Dyson, this pack includes over 100 presets, along with 25 bonus MPE presets. These presets further explore features such as layers and splits, complex modulation, sequencers and arpeggiators, expressive performance, and multiple effects chains. {PRODUCT-HEADER-36074-ensoniqesq1synthesizer}. Pricing & Availability Ensoniq ESQ-1 is available for $69 (not an introductory price) from Cherry Audio and from authorized resellers worldwide for macOS (10.13 and later) and Windows (7 and later) in AU, VST, VST3, AAX, and standalone formats. A free 30-day demo is available. Additionally, until June 30th at cherryaudio.com, customers can take advantage of Cherry Audio’s “Build Your Own Bundle” promotion. They can select the Pick 3 bundle for $99 (regularly $119) or the Pick 6 bundle for $149 (regularly $169). This promotion allows customers to mix and match any of Cherry Audio’s instruments for less than $25 per plugin. Read More

M Media Audio has released Volume Dealer, a true-peak mastering limiter built around a full BS.1770 LUFS metering suite and a one-click loudness targeting workflow. Engineers set a Target LUFS, play the track until Integrated LUFS stabilizes, and click Set Level – the plugin calculates the exact corrective gain and applies it in a single step, no manual gain-staging or repeated bounce-and-check cycles required. The limiter runs a lookahead brickwall design with an adjustable knee via Edge Rounding, from a hard 0% ceiling to a 6 dB pre-transition softened curve for dense program material. A High Quality mode runs the limiter at 2x the session sample rate through an IIR half-band polyphase filter, catching inter-sample peaks that exceed 0 dBFS on playback reconstruction – the difference between a true-peak ceiling and a limiter that only checks the samples it can see. M Media Audio has been in professional audio since 1994. Based in Austin, Texas, the studio has mixed and mastered thousands of broadcasts and records across three decades – working with national acts, local artists, and independent labels. Volume Dealer comes directly out of that mastering chain, built to remove the guesswork from hitting a loudness target without sacrificing peak control. The plugin reports BS.1770-3 and BS.1770-4 metering side by side with Integrated, Momentary, and Short-Term LUFS readouts, toggleable without interrupting an in-progress measurement. Dual analog-style VU meters with 300 ms ballistic response track post-limiter output, and a Gain Applied readout confirms exactly what Set Level calculated. Dithering is available at export in 24-bit or 16-bit noise-shaped modes. Features One-click Set Level workflow – measures Integrated LUFS and applies corrective gain in a single step. Full BS.1770-3 / BS.1770-4 LUFS metering suite – Integrated, Momentary, Short-Term. True-peak lookahead brickwall limiter with adjustable Edge Rounding knee (0-100%). High Quality mode – 2x oversampled true-peak detection via IIR half-band polyphase filter. Pre-limiter Input Trim, -12 to +12 dB. Dual analog-style VU meters, 300 ms ballistics, post-limiter output. Noise-shaped dither – off, 24-bit, or 16-bit. Gain Applied, Gain Reduction, Output Peak, and Latency readouts. Availability and Pricing Volume Dealer is free with no purchase, no license key, no account, and no expiration. Download is available at mmediaaudio.com System Requirements Windows 10/11: VST3 64-bit. MacOS 11 Big Sur or later: VST3 + AU 64-bit, Universal Binary (Apple Silicon + Intel). Linux: VST3 64-bit.

GForce Software and Sequential have announced the release of the official Prophet~5 Plugin. Few synthesizers have shaped music history like the Sequential Prophet~5. Originally released in 1978 by Sequential Circuits, Dave Smith’s legendary analogue polysynth introduced a new era of polyphonic synthesis, combining analogue warmth, patch memory and hands-on control in a way that transformed music production forever. Now, for the first time ever, Sequential and GForce Software have partnered to create the official Prophet~5 software instrument. Faithfully recreating the distinct character of the Rev1, Rev2 and Rev3 hardware revisions, GForce Software says the Prophet~5 captures the sound, response and musicality that made the original instrument iconic, from lush SSM warmth to the punch of the Curtis filter designs. Alongside all original hardware functionality and the classic 1978 factory presets, the Prophet~5 introduces powerful modern enhancements, including newly redesigned X-Modifiers, dual-layer architecture, MPE support, and a premium suite of studio effects. The Prophet~5 holds a special place in Sequential’s history and in the wider story of modern music. GForce Software approached the instrument with real care, and no one comes closer capturing the character and musicality of the hardware. We’re excited to see their plugin introduce a new generation of musicians and producers to the Prophet~5. David Gibbons, CEO, Sequential Prophet~5 – key features Officially developed in partnership with Sequential. The most authentic Prophet~5 experience available in software. Rev1 & Rev2 SSM and Rev3 Curtis filter and envelope characteristics. Dual Layer architecture with Layer, Split and Alternate modes with up to 10 voices per layer. Newly redesigned X-Modifiers – Assign dedicated envelopes and LFOs to almost every parameter. Two selectable FX slots plus dedicated Delay, Reverb and Pan Spread effects. Selectable FX include Chorus, Phaser, Filter, Distortion, Tremolo and Compressor. Over 460 extensive, professionally designed presets, including the original 38 factory patches from 1978. Independent arpeggiator and chord modes for each layer. Fully resizable high-resolution interface. Powerful patch browser with tagging and search. Full MPE compatibility for expressive performance.

Sonic Charge has released PhenoType, a free add-on for Synplant 2 that generates synth patches from typed text descriptions. The tool grew out of work on a separate Synplant feature: an algorithm that describes existing patches using words and tags. Sonic Charge then ran that process in reverse, turning written descriptions into playable sounds. How it works The interface is deliberately minimal. You type a description of a sound, texture, or instrument, click EXE, and PhenoType attempts to build a patch from the input. If the result misses, clicking EXE again produces a different interpretation of the same prompt. Every generated sound is a standard, fully editable Synplant patch, so it can be tweaked, mutated, branched, and evolved using Synplant 2’s existing tools rather than landing as a fixed preset. The text parser is not a large language model. Sonic Charge is direct about its limits: it works with a few hundred internal tags plus synonyms, variations, and common misspellings, and it handles simple inversions such as without reverb or not distorted. Plain natural English works well for concrete requests like “a reverb-drenched pad with a slow attack and some modulation,” and shorter tag-style input such as “slow pad modulation reverb” is also supported. Abstract or scene-based prompts (“a busy cafe heard from the street outside”) are outside its range. When the parser cannot make sense of an input, it falls back to a random patch. An RND button generates a random prompt for users who want to explore without writing anything. Local processing, no cloud The detail that sets PhenoType apart from most current text-to-sound tools is where the work happens. It runs entirely inside the JavaScript engine in Synplant 2, locally on the user’s machine. There is no cloud processing and no internet connection required, which sidesteps the latency, account, and data questions that come with server-side AI generation. It installs as a script: open Synplant 2, click the puzzle icon in the upper-right corner to reach the scripts menu, and select PhenoType to launch it. PhenoType is aimed at existing Synplant 2 users, since the synth itself does the sound generation. For sound designers who already work in Synplant’s genetic-patching paradigm, it adds a text-driven entry point into the same editable patch system rather than replacing it. Pricing & Availability PhenoType is available now at no additional cost to Synplant 2 owners. A Synplant 2 license is required both to download and to use it; the add-on is downloaded from the Sonic Charge site after signing in. YouTube/IB–SmXBFKI Read More

Rockheyday has announced the release of Grovia-SC, a sidechain volume shaper designed to create space in mixes, control low-end masking, and enhance rhythmic movement. Built around a 32-bit floating-point processing engine, Grovia-SC offers three ducking modes—Natural, Fast, and Pump—allowing users to tailor the response from transparent dynamic control to more pronounced pumping effects. The plugin features adjustable Attack, Release, Depth, and Mix controls for precise shaping of gain reduction behavior. For visual feedback, Grovia-SC includes a real-time FFT spectrum analyzer and a ballistic gain reduction meter, making it easy to monitor both signal content and ducking activity. The interface is available in two switchable size modes and has been designed with a focus on CPU efficiency. Key Features Engine: High-precision sidechain volume shaping and dynamic envelope attenuation. Ducking Profiles: Three selectable envelope curves (Natural, Fast, and Pump). Transient Control: Precision Attack (0–50 ms) and Release (20–500 ms) controls for fine-tuning. Attenuation Depth: 0–100% range control for complete signal ducking or subtle dynamic control. Parallel Processing: 0–100% Mix blend for parallel volume shaping. Make-Up Gain: -12 to +12 dB of clean, high-precision output gain adjustment. Listen Mode: Direct sidechain monitoring path with integrated safety overrides. Analyzer: Dual-Layer Input/Output FFT display for real-time harmonic monitoring. FFT Engine: 4096 / 8192-point resolution with Blackman windowing. Response Model: Internal 4.5 dB tilt and 350 ms ballistic decay. Gain Reduction Metering: Dedicated vertical gain reduction meter with instant-attack physics. Metering: Dual-layer LR Peak meters (body = input level, floating peak = output level). Interface Scaling: Runtime dual-sizing layout (Standard and Compact). Preset Management: Native XML-based saving and loading system. Channel Compatibility: Fully supports Mono or Stereo main inputs/outputs, alongside Mono or Stereo external sidechain bus inputs. Precision: 32-bit floating-point audio processing throughout the signal path. Sample Rates: Multi-rate support (44.1 kHz – 96 kHz), dynamically matching host DAW settings. Pricing & Availability A free lite VST3 version and full VST3 version ($10.99) are available for Windows at: rockheyday.gumroad.com In the Lite edition, the Shape, Depth, Attack, and Release parameters are fixed to their default values.

MonoDelay is a new lo-fi delay plugin from DROP_OUT audio. Modeled after a cult-classic toy synth delay, it features a monophonic synth section, PT2399-style delay chip behavior, an MS20-style filter, a (recordable) ribbon MIDI keyboard and a routable LFO section. It mimics a cheap signal path, meaning the dynamic constraints, noise floor and degradation are modeled rather than smoothed out. This results in an instrument that can be used as a synth, an effect unit or as an interesting noise generator. Pricing & Availability MonoDelay is available for the introductory price of €39/$45 until July 15th (Reg. €49/$60). MonoDelay ships as both VST FX and VSTi. VST3 on Windows, AU and VST3 on Mac (Apple Silicon native, Intel via Rosetta). A 14-day full-featured trial is available, no audio drop-outs. Read More

Iconic Instruments has announced the release of Detroit Drums, a set of two virtual acoustic drum instruments based on the drums, cymbals, heads and tuning, as well as the mixing environment of 1960’s R&B/Pop. Iconic Instruments says the drums and cymbals feature individual tuning, and a never-before-seen dampening control for each drum. Additionally, the 1960’s-era virtual mixing console includes specially-tuned tube distortion for each channel, built-in plate reverb send effect, and a mix bus effects chain with a 660-style compressor, high- and low-shelf EQ, and tape effect, to recreate the sounds of 60’s R&B/Pop records. Detroit Drums was made to recreate the sound of your favorite 1960’s R&B/Pop records, which also heavily influenced early Hip Hop. The drums in that era were Bop-like – smaller sizes, and high-tuned, but sometimes dampened for Pop applications. Bypass also allows you to completely exclude the effect above the cutoff to mimic the warmth of your favorite classic tracks. Both Detroit Drums models (L-Model and S-Model) were sampled from 1960’s era kits with original 60’s era heads (now virtually unobtainable) and 60’s-era cymbals, and set up with classic tuning techniques. Each drum and cymbal has individual Tuning control, but Iconic Instruments says what’s really unique is the “never-before-seen” Dampening control for each drum. The Tuning and Dampening controls give you the flexibility to dial in whatever works for your track, from an up-tuned, open Bop-style kit to a down-tuned, dry 70’s studio kit. On the Drums side, another unique feature of the Detroit Drums is the behavior of the Hi-Hat Pedal control, which allows you to sweep between samples on the fly for ultra-realistic results from washy to clasped. Detroit Drums also features a full 1960’s-era mixing environment to capture the beat up sound of your favorite vintage records. The virtual 60’s console features specially tuned Tube Drive effects for each channel (Overheads, outside Bass and under Snare mics), as well as for the Mix Bus. There’s a built-in Plate Reverb send effect with full control over Tail Length, as well as High- and Low-pass filters. And there’s a Mix Bus effect chain that features a 660-style Compressor, High- and Low-shelf EQ and Tape Effect. The effects are light versions of Iconic Instruments’ Model 350 Tube Preamp, SP140 Plate Reverb, Model 660 X Exciting Compressor, ParametrEQ and Transport Vintage Tape plugins. There are a range of colors, and the effects range from subtle to crushing. In addition, the Busing Matrix allows you to direct each channel to the Mix Bus, or redirect each channel to its own track in your DAW for mixing outside the Detroit Drums plugin. You can turn Round Robining on and off, and choose between General MIDI Mapping and Chromatic MIDI Mapping to access an expanded array of drum and cymbal permutations. Key Features Drums and Cymbals – authentic 60’s-era drums and cymbals that have individual Tuning controls, as well as never-before-seen Dampening control for each drum. Mixing Environment – virtual 1960’s console gives you control over Overheads, outside Bass and under Snare mics – features specially tuned tube Drive effect for each channel and mix bus, Plate Reverb send effect, and mix bus effects chain that includes a 660-style Compressor, high- and low-shelf EQ and Tape effect. Hi-Hat Pedal Control – the unique Hi-Hat Pedal control allows you to sweep between samples on the fly for ultra-realistic results. Busing Matrix – reroute each channel to its own track for mixing in your DAW, or keep channels routed to the in-built mix bus to mix within the Detroit Drums plugin. Key Mapping – choose from General MIDI Mapping for standard use, or Chromatic MIDI Mapping to access our expanded array of drum and cymbal permutations. Round Robining – switch Round Robining on for slightly varied, more natural results, or turn it off for more consistency. Presets – choose from 10 Drum-and-Cymbal Presets, as well as 10 Mixing Presets to use right out of the box, or to use as a starting point for your track. Pricing & Availability Detroit Drums L-Model and S-Model are available for macOS and Windows in VST, AU and AAX plugin formats for the introductory price of $79 each (Reg. $99) or together as a bundle for $129 (Reg. $198).
