SSL Native FlexVerb plug-in is now and only today available for $18 (down from $279)! Here’s the deal!

Solid State Logic Native FlexVerb deal at Plugin Boutique

SSL remains among the recording industry greats to this day, embodying both quality and innovation for 5 decades (and counting). This goes for both the hardware and software realms of pro audio. Native FlexVerb is an example of SSL’s excellence with the latter. It’s a comprehensive reverb plug-in with Room, Hall, Plate, and Chamber simulations. At this price, it’s worth adding to any plug-in collection.

The SSL Native FlexVerb plug-in generates room, hall, plate, and chamber reverbs with plenty of sound shaping options. In addition to the typical parameters, which we’ll talk about in a second, they include a 6-band EQ and compressor.

The available reverb and effects controls are input and output volume, early reflections, pre-delay, diffusion, size, reverb time, and modulation (rate, depth). A visual analyzer represents the generated reverb graphically.

SSL Native FlexVerb – Price and availability

You can have Solid State Logic Native FlexVerb here at Thomann for the party price of $18 (down from a decidedly non-party $279). The offer is valid only today (February 20, 2024). The plug-in works under macOS 10.12+ and Windows 7+ in AU, AAX, VST, and VST3 64-bit formats.

You need a free iLok account (or a paid USB dongle) for authorization. An unrestricted demo version and a PDF user manual are also available for download from the developer’s website.

Tonocracy by Atomic Amps is a fully featured guitar amp simulation and modeling plugin – and it’s now FREE! This week’s collection of the best free plugins also includes a unique low-pass filter by NUSofting and a simple but effective Tremolo effect by Outobugi. Enjoy!

Atomic Amps Tonocracy is now FREE!

Atomic Amps has announced that the Tonocracy amp and effects modeling plugin is now free! Tonocracy was originally released in 2023 and combines the developer’s SchemAccurate modeling tech with a ToneSnap feature for capturing your own gear snapshots and loading Neural Amp Modeler profiles. It also comes with a bunch of custom IRs by ML Sound Lab. Quite an amazing deal if you ask me!

At the core of Tonocracy is the SchemAccurate modeling technology, which combines component-level modeling with AI-based techniques to produce accurate recreations of classic amps. It comes loaded with a great selection of amps from classic Marshalls and Fenders to Vox, Mesa Boogie, EVH, and even Friedman and Dumble.

The built-in ToneSnap feature is based on the free Neural Amp Modeler (NAM) by Steve Atkinson. Using a simple, streamlined interface, you can easily capture snapshots of your own gear and store them as a playable preset. ToneSnap also gives you access to a growing library of snapshots created by the community.

With the added bonus of custom IRs by ML Sound Lab, Tonocracy looks like a fantastic package for a FREE plugin!

Tonocracy is available for macOS and Windows in VST3, AU, and AAX formats.

NUSofting Eugene Filter Free

Eugene Filter by NUSofting is a unique low-pass filter plugin based on a Cascaded Integral Comb (CIC) Ladder. The developer says that this circuit provides self-oscillating characteristics similar to typical synth VCFs, but with an airy character and a wider spectrum of resonances.

In addition to this, Eugene Filter also features a traditional 24 dB transistor ladder filter emulation. There’s even a built-in chorus effect for more sonic variety, as well as the option to adjust the dry/wet mix.

Eugene Filter comes in two versions. The paid version (€10) is the same as the free version but adds an envelope follower and a “Random Walk LFO” for modulation.

Eugene Filter is available for macOS and Windows in VST, VST3, and AU formats.

Outobugi Wave: Free Tremolo Plugin

Outobugi Wave is a basic but effective tremolo plugin. It’s got a Time knob with the option to sync to your song tempo, and a large Amount knob for dialing in the desired intensity of the effect. Furthermore, Wave also offers Shape and Offset controls for shaping the modulation curve. There’s even a waveform display, so you can see what you’re doing.

Wave is a VST3 plugin for Windows.

Refire by Outobugi is your one-stop shop for drum processing with five modules for creating banging drum tracks. Other freebies this week include an updated bundle from Analog Obsession and a cute bit crusher from Vox Samples.

Outobugi Refire: Free Multi-FX Plugin for Drums

Refire by Outobugi is a new free multi-effect plugin with five distinct modules for drum processing. First up is Bang, a transient shaper with an adjustable envelope and gain. The Heat module offers three kinds of distortion and saturation. It’s got three buttons for selecting the desired mode and a drive control unmistakably labeled as “Burn”.

The next module is Sub, a sub-bass oscillator for extra low-end oomph. Detail is an interesting module for shaping the highs that combines a high shelf filter (Air) with a tilt EQ (Tone) and a noise generator. And lastly, Clamp is a soft/hard clipper.

With this chain of five modules, Refire has everything you need to create hard-hitting drum tracks. Nice!

Analog Obsession Color Bundle: Analog Preamps and Distortion

Analog Obsession has once again updated a couple of older plugins and repackaged them in a free bundle. The new Color Bundle consists of the PreBOX preamp and distortion and Distox multi-mode distortion plugins. Both were available before, but they’re now been updated with additional features and 4x oversampling.

PreBOX is a great collection of 11 different models of preamps. In addition to ±24 dB input and output gain controls, it’s got switchable high-pass and low-pass filters.

Distox combines virtual tube and op-amp circuits, both of which let you choose from various models (3 op-amps and 4 tubes). This plugin also has sweeping high-pass and low-pass filters for shaping the perfect distortion sound.

The Color Bundle is available for macOS and Windows in VST3, AAX and AU formats.

The force behind Transit look to shake up physical modelling with the new Baby Audio Atoms soft synth, a plugin based on springs and masses.

Baby Audio Atoms

Baby Audio, the plugin development team behind Transit and BA-1, have just revealed that they’re about to drop a new instrument. Called Atoms, it’s a physical modelling synthesizer plugin based on a mass/spring interaction network. I’m not sure what that is either but I’m definitely intrigued. And it’s out now!

Baby Audio Atoms: Spring Into Action

The first look comes courtesy of a NAMM 2024 video from Sonic State, who have had bumper ads touting a new Baby Audio plugin all week. The rough and ready video reveals that Atoms models a network of masses connected by springs with inertia and weight, with sound generated by “playing” it with a virtual bow.

Baby Audio stresses that it has a complex underlying algorithm but it’s distilled down into six, simple parameters: Chaos, Force (how the bow plays the model), Drive (saturation), Order, Overtones (where on the model you apply the bow to change harmonics) and Filter (a lowpass filter).

Automation and MPE

Additionally, there is an internal automation system to automate parameters. This results in evolving, organic textures, says Baby Audio in the video. You can also assign MPE to each of the six parameters for additional, per-key automation.

How About Effects?

In terms of effects, Baby Audio Atoms doesn’t appear to have any built-in reverb or delay. However, Baby Audio presenter Michael Hahn did point out that Atoms has chorus and vibrato. Uniquely, these are generated by the physical model itself, not post-effects circuits. Very interesting.

Get Excited

I’m a big fan of Baby Audio’s products and this looks to be another winner. Physical modelling is capable of generating some unique tones, and judging by the demo audio in the video, Atoms can do fat and punchy bass, evolving pads and more. Baby Audio claim it can do a “huge range of stuff from natural to sci-fi,” and they have a team of sound designers working on presets right now.

Baby Audio Atoms is available now here at Plugin Boutique (affiliate) for an introductory price of $59 instead of $99 (until March 30). Platforms supported: macOS 10.11 and up (including Native Apple Silicon M1/M2 Compatibility) and Windows 10 and newer. Plugin formats: VST, VST3, AU, AAX (64-bit).

Ok, the headline might be a little exaggerated. Because computers equipped with Windows dominate the market. There are just as many pro users who use computers with Windows OS for music production as there are amateurs. But how come the advertising for Windows machines is different? There are very few ad campaigns, no sensational claims (compared to Apple)?

It happens a lot that you read negative threads and posts in blogs, forums, and communities about Windows machines. These are mainly about problems, constant updates, installation issues, and driver incompatibilities. But is this really the case? There are several answers to this question.

Microsoft Windows as an operating system

How come Microsoft Windows is installed on so many computers so casually with so little “fanfare”? If you compare that to the die-hard Apple fan base who is always on the hunt for any small leak about the next macOS? Of course: Apple’s strategy has always been based on marketing “gags”.

And they somehow captivate (almost) everyone – positively or negatively. There is a whole culture and industry around Apple leaks, which are sometimes created from the thinnest rumor. Some of the VIP analysts and “leakers” now make a lot of profit from that. Even if the possible leak is not real at all.

It’s different with Windows. For quite a few many people, the OS just sits on their hard disk and runs in the background. In addition, most companies use Windows on their own company computers. And many schools use Windows in the classroom. So all of us should actually be subtly infected with the Windows “virus”. All kinds of laptops and desktops are delivered with a Windows license. In comparison, Apple computers can usually only be found in their own stores, or at Apple retailers.

The Windows OS has attracted plenty of negative attention in recent years due to constant and lengthy update orgies. Even though it runs well most of the time, or does it? Unlike macOS, Windows is not tied to a computer from the same manufacturer. Of course, Microsoft also manufactures its own computers (Surface) and relies on countless companies that develop and sell products for this OS.

Compared to Macs, you can select just about any component of a new PC yourself, you can even build a whole system, if you’re nerdy enough. However, this also means that the operating system cannot boost performance if the overall package is cheaper. That’s why an Apple computer is in the high-price range right from the start.

So which OS is it?!

Apple fans like to talk and post openly about their MacBooks, iMacs, or Mac Pros. And therefore, they also talk about the latest macOS. It’s free advertising for Apple. And this closed system makes it easier for Apple to integrate/supply drivers. The internal hardware (usually) runs without problems.

Self-assembled Windows PCs, on the other hand, contain an infinite number of component combinations. Microsoft cannot provide an all-encompassing driver solution for all combinations. Of course, this also means that Windows users must install and configure third-party drivers themselves. And that can create a plenty of errors.

So there are many positive, but also opposing arguments for both camps. Everyone can decide for themselves whether they want to spend a lot of money on a ready-made machine with a customized OS. Or they’d instead choose a DIY version for a fraction of the price that can be easily upgraded later.

To summarize: I hear from both user bases in the music scene that Windows and macOS computers are equally popular. Windows fans are just less open about it. There also seem to be problems on both platforms (who doesn’t have problems with technology?). And the Linux scene is also getting bigger and bigger with more software on offer.

My take on operating systems: Windows vs. Apple

My OS “life” started with a Commodore C-64, followed by an Amiga 500 and then an Atari 1040ST. Because of the computing power and my curiosity about the first audio plugins, I then switched to a Windows computer – as a student, I definitely couldn’t afford an Apple Mac back then.

After entering the music business, I “had” to buy my first Mac in order to stay compatible with the machines from my colleagues. Then I was infected. Furthermore, my family’s use of iPhones and iPads has kept us in the Apple cosmos. Because synchronizing data (calendars, messages, notes, and more) in my private life and exchanging pictures, videos, and other data packages works pretty well between the iDevices and macOS. So why change? Because: Never change a running system.

Which system do you work with? And what role does “either/or” play for you? Let us know in the comments!

Spectralsand by (un)familiar is a modulated spectral delay that mangles and bends your audio in all sorts of interesting ways. This week’s collection of free plugins also features the powerful Firefly Synth and Fat Cat, a saturation and distortion plugin for vocals. Enjoy!

(Un)familiar Spectralsand Mud Edition: Spectral Delay

Spectralsand by (un)familiar is a spectral delay plugin that’s great for turning dull or boring tracks into something more exciting. It works by breaking up the input signal into hundreds of tiny bits (called bins) and delaying each one by a specific amount of time, thereby altering the spectral content and timbre of the track. You can select the bin size and adjust the delay time and offset. A feedback parameter feeds the output back into the delay, which creates all sorts of interesting effects and buildups.

But that’s not all: When spectralsand puts the bins back together, it does so according to a graph defined by a built-in modulation source. The free version lets you choose from six different modulation shapes, including basic waveforms and noise. The frequency is of course also adjustable, and you can invert the waveshapes for even more modulation options.

The so-called “Mud Edition” of spectralsands is free. There’s also a paid version (on sale until February 7 for $15.19, regular price $19.99) that adds drawable modulation shapes, a sidechain input for external modulation, and a randomizer.

Spectralsand is available for macOS, Windows, and Linux as a VST3 plugin. It should be noted that it only works on Apple Silicon Macs if your DAW runs under Rosetta 2.

Sjoerd van Kreel Firefly Synth: Semi-modular Software Synth

Firefly Synth by Sjoerd van Kreel is the sequel to InfernalSynth, which was already pretty awesome. The plugin is still under development and some features aren’t yet implemented, but it’s already clear that Firefly Synth will be a powerful software synth when it’s done.

Like InfernalSynth, Firefly Synth is a semi-modular software synth that offers various synthesis techniques. Its four oscillators can deliver anything from basic waveforms to Karplus-Strong to AM and FM synthesis. You can then run the oscillators through a wide variety of per-voice and global effects modules, including various filters, distortion, reverb, and delay. In addition to this, Firefly Synth also offers an array of modulation sources like DAHDSR envelopes and per-voice and global LFOs.

Everything comes together in the audio and CV matrices, both of which are available on the per-voice and global levels. This gives you lots of flexibility for routing audio and modulation signals.

Firefly Synth is currently available for Windows in VST3 and CLAP formats. There’s also an experimental Linux build, but it’s still under construction.

Vox Samples Fat Cat: Vocal Saturation and Distortion

Fat Cat by Vox Samples is a simple but effective saturation plugin for vocals. But of course, nothing is stopping you from using it on other source material, as well! According to the developer, Fat Cat is modeled after a “modern analog tube preamp”. 

The big saturation knob lets you dial in the desired amount of drive from subtle saturation to more aggressive distortion. If you turn it all the way up, Fat Cat turns into a soft clipper.

In addition to this, the plugin offers a mix knob for blending the dry and wet signals, as well as an output level control.

Fat Cat is a VST3 plugin for Windows.
