Free music promotes the Avatar ST VST
Avatar Premonitions is a Two CD release, recorded live live by Dimitri Schkoda aka Inner Dreamer and features only HG Fortune’s Avatar ST VSTi Synthesizer (no additional effects even)
“The skilful play of Dimitri Schkoda unveils the very sonic potential of this synthesizer. This is partly cinematic to orchestral ambient sometimes with a dark touch and very well suited not only for relaxation but also for intense listening of his imaginary songs done with the ‘Futuristic Orchestra’ as he calls it. He has dedicated this masterpiece of music ‘to all friends around the world who support works of HG Fortune’.”

Novel physical-modelling synthesizer
Modelonia is a novel physical-modelling synthesizer which uses a hybrid of two distinct model ‘types’- a plucked-string model, and a blown-bore (ie trumpet-type) model.
Each model may be used simultaneously, and the signal path allows cross-modulation between the two models for more interesting and complex tones.
Price: Modelonia is now available to purchase separately as an instant download for PC and Mac (VST/AU), priced at USD 45.00 per license. A bundle of both licenses for PC and Mac is still available for USD 75.00.

Three freeware virtual synthesizer plug-ins by Chris Roberson
Roberson Audio has launched a new website.
The website offers three freeware virtual synthesizer plug-ins by Chris Roberson.
Roberson Audio Synthesizers: RA Mowg, Oddy-Free, and Prophanity
Roberson Audio Synthesizers
- RA Mowg, a Minimoog Model D clone. From the deep, full-bodied filters, to the mellow analog-style oscillators, to the distortive drive from feedback-looping the output, this instrument can give you the feeling of playing a Minimoog without spending a small fortune to do so.
- Oddy-Free, an emulation of an Arp Odyssey MkII. Much attention to detail was given in the layout of the signal path to have it behave as accurately as possible. It does have just a touch more umph than most originals would – this particular emulation was based on the “illegal” filter versions based on Moog’s -24dB Low-Pass filter, so it sounds quite a bit smoother and richer but at the same it can produce the harsh metallic tones known from the Odyssey.
- Prophanity, a Prophet 5 clone. There isn’t a terrible lot to say for the synth, other than one major bug with the unison section. You may notice it isn’t present, and that has been done on purpose. It is a goal for a future release to re-include a unison feature.
Roberson Audio’s synthesizers are available to download as freeware VST instrument plug-ins for Windows PC.

Synths and drums for Android phones
This weekend I started to download a whole bunch of different synths and drum pads for my Android / Google phone and boy was I surprise how much crap their was. I believe I downloaded 10 or so different synths and drum pads and none of them was even close to being funny to play around with.
Here are a couple of the ones Itried:
- Drum Hero Lite
- Free drum pad for Android
- aPorta Studio
- Synthesizer 2
- Virtual Synthesizer
- KeffMeff
Good thing with them was that all of them worked (!) and was fairly easy to load, learn and play around with, but none of them was even close to something I would even consider using in any music production. Sure they are all free or very sheap, but still comparing with some of the free games you can access and considering what you can get via your iPhone – Android Market has a long way to go.
So what have I learned – if you want to download some kinky toys for your kids to play around with for five minutes on your way to the supermarket in your car, then Yes go ahead but if you actually would like to have something that you can enjoy – wait another 6 months before accessing the Android market again, if you are looking for cool music making software, or better yet continue to use your iPhone.
All things negative, well I have to say that KeffMeff at least had some cool sounds going
