x64: VSTi+VST2 + JBridge files | x86: VSTi+VST2

Here you will find some of my VST plugins. These are based on plugins originally created a few years ago but have been re-written to share the same C++ code base. Additionally, they have been compiled as 64 bit plugins. My hope is to re-write most of my “freebie” plugins and eventually some (but not all) of my commercial plugins. When I finish one, it will become available here.

Cobalt is a VSTi software synthesizer inspired by many of the digital synthesizers from the 1980s.  In the early 80s as digital technology became cheaper, many manufacturers designed synthesizers that combined earlier analog technology with newer digital technology. These were known as hybrid synthesizers. Well-known hybrid synthesizers are the Korg DW8000 and DW6000, the Ensoniq ESQ-1, and the Kawai K3.  In analog/digital hybrid synthesizers, the oscillators responsible for generating waveforms are digital while the filter section remains analog. This approach freed designers to use any kind of waveform; they were no longer restricted to traditional analog waveforms such as sawtooth, triangle, and pulse. However, by using an analog filter, these synthesizers retained the warmth earlier analog synthesizers were known for. Though Cobalt is a purely digital synthesizer, its overall architecture is very much like those early hybrid synthesizers. It features a wide selection of waveforms, most of which were resynthesized from actual hybrid synthesizers, while providing traditional subtractive synthesis capabilities for sculpting its sound.
