Exakt v1.x.x WiN MAC

Team R2R | 03 December 2024 | 12.1MB

FM synths hold a special place in the history of synthesizers. Exakt, the intuitive and easy-to-use FM synthesizer plugin is designed to make FM synthesis more accessible. As many vintage machines, Exakt has got 4 operators which can be arranged in various FM algorithms. Each operator has got different waveforms such as the basic sine, saw, square and triangle. Then apart from the 8 classic waveforms from the Yamaha TX81Z, four additional enhanced TX waveforms are included. Each operator has got its own amplitude envelope generator supporting the 5 point TX envelopes. These envelopes have been modeled to mimic the TX characteristics. Additionally, up to 16 points can be added to the loopable envelopes in order to create complex shapes. Combined with a flexible modulation matrix, a creamy chorus, gritty distortion and a stereo delay effect, Exakt has got sounds that can be used in all types of music.

DECiBEL | 03 August 2020 | KONTAKT: 5.10 GB | ZEBRA 2: 24.10 MB

CLUSTER is a collection of 246 presets made from a series of radically different synth architectures each pushed to its limits to produce small families of amazing sounds. Stunningly beautiful slow organic pads, deep complex basses, chaotic and viscous throbs, FM and analog drumkits, dusty modelled keyboards, warped alien leads, glorious dissonant evolutions and arps a plenty. CLUSTER isn’t aimed at any specific genre – although it does carry the strange and beautiful Sound Dust dna of other instrument designs – CLUSTER is earfruit intended to trigger and inspire new musical thoughts and sonic inventions. But if you don’t own Zebra 2 you can still enjoy the joys of CLUSTERing with the massive CLUSTER earfruits loop pack. Over 2000 tempo synced loops and one shots sampled from the Zebra engine. These are really handy to drop into your DAW of choice or into the bespoke Kontakt earfruits engine. 246 inspiring patches for Zebra 2 wrapped up in a bespoke skin + 6.7GB of sampled loops & a granular Kontakt player U-He’s Zebra 2 is a powerful semi modular soft synth with almost too many sonic possibilities under its hood.

User-Friendly FM Synthesizer

If you think FM Synthesis is complicated, it’s time to think again! BLEASS Omega places all of the sparkle, character, nuance and dynamic expressiveness of FM Synthesis at your fingertips, and does away with the arcane programming interfaces so often associated with FM. Harnessing BLEASS’ signature GUI technology, creating and crafting sounds in Omega is not just easier than with other FM synths, it’s easy – PERIOD! All of the classic capabilities of FM Synthesis are available in BLEASS Omega – expressive electric pianos, deep thundering basses, crystal-clear pads, sparkling bells, and soulful leads. And thanks to the instrument’s analogue-style Waveshaper and multi-mode Filter, BLEASS Omega can inject powerful analogue-like flavour into those pure FM tones, giving searing filter sweeps, growling distortions, and harmonically-rich resonances.

Chipsynth MD v1.120 WiN

Team R2R | 19 February 2024 | 16.7MB

PLATFORM: WiN64 – STANDALONE/VSTi/VST3/AAX(MODiFiED)

chipsynth MD is a feature-rich four operator FM synth that packs quite a punch. The Mega Drive – also known as Genesis – is a much beloved console system that brought the bright and sparkly sound of FM to the masses. It resulted in the creation of numerous fast paced and exciting soundtracks, and it still drives the creativity of composers to this day. As we designed chipsynth MD, we couldn’t help ourselves but to jam pack it with features that take it to the next level, with an access to every component of the hardware no matter how obscure, and an intelligent layering system that lets you turn any OPN2 patch into a monstrous ear-splitting 6-layer wall of sound. MD features a bit accurate OPN2 (YM2612) emulator. We combined it with a SN76489-compatible square wave core (SPSG) and a special emulation of the very crunchy sample playback found in games, and we multiplied all of this by 6 to make it polyphonic in every situation imaginable. A complimentary VGM file player allows you to audition hundreds of vintage soundtracks just like they were meant to be heard.

Vintage ‘portable’ FM synthesizer

Chipsynth PortaFM is the first member of the chipsynth synthesizer line, a bit-accurate reproduction of a vintage low-cost 2 operator FM chip (OPLL) inside a new synthesizer design. PortaFM is a unique two operator FM synth with a very quirky feature set. The late 80’s ‘PSS’ series was cheesy and made of plastic but had a very unique sound which was lost to time. Some of the most well known examples of synthesizers in this series include the PSS-140, PSS-270 mini keyboards and the SHS-10 keytar. Not willing to just copy the past, Plogue designed a new synthesizer that features the same sound generation found in these synthesizers, but this time with much more processing power to control and modulate its features, all in a convenient virtual instrument form. PortaFM uses a pair of cycle-accurately emulated OPLL (YM2413) FM chip cores for its main synth engine, and another core dedicated to the the drum sounds, all of which can be layered creatively.
