Synthetik – free synth VST/AU plugin designed to deliver sounds for Hip-Hop and R&B
Tru-Urban has released Synthetik, a free synth VST/AU Plugin. Synthetik is designed to deliver inspiring sounds and FX for Hip-Hop and R&B productions.
The Synthetik VST/AU Plugin is called a “semi-synth” because it does not posses all of the traditional functions of a full synthesizer. Instead, the user gets sounds that can be fine-tuned and tweaked further using the LFO settings, Reverb and ADSR. Synthetik has glide control and the full range of play modes such as Mono, Poly and Legato.
Price: Free.
Live jam with Volca Bass, Volca Sample, Microbrute, Mopho & MFB 522
Background video description:
Here’s another live jam with my baseline setup Korg Volca Bass, Korg Volca Sample and Arturia Microbrute. This time, they get accompanied by the MFB 522 drumcomputer and David Smith Instruments Mopho.
As with all my other jams, I only used the internal sequencers which are synchronized with the Master Midi clock from the Electribe ER-1. Some reverb and delay is added on most of the sounds (Alesis Quadraverb 2, Alesis Midiverb 3 and Lexicon MX200).
If you liked this one, you might want to check out my other Volca-Microbrute jams in this playlist:
