TheDrumSource – virtual drum machine instrument
Ola Wistedt and Mats Lindfors have released version 1.0 (release candidate 1) of TheDrumSource, a sample based drum machine instrument for Windows.
It has a sequencer and a built in sample browser. It looks and “feels” like a classic (x0x) hardware drum machine.
TheDrumSource is designed with the purpose to be very simple and easy to work with even if you are used to work with hardware drum machines or not. The built in sample browser in TheDrumsource makes it very easy to navigate through your samples. The sequencer can be running when looking for new samples. You will hear the sample the moment you selects it. There is also a quick button to select the previous and next sample in the same directory as the current selected sample. TheDrumsource has a very short time to get started on making your beats.
TheDrumSource features
- Built in sample browser suited for a easy workflow when working with samples. And almost all of TheDrumSource’s functions is still available while browsing.
- Built in sequencer that has 24 sequences for your patterns. The patterns are of the 16-step bar type
- Support for many sample formats (including 24 bit samples): WAV, AIFF, AIFC, AU, SND, RAW, PAF, IFF, SVX, SF, VOC, W64, MAT4, MAT5, PVF, XI, HTK, CAF, SD2, FLAC, OGG.
- A GUI that can be resized to suit you screen.
- A quick button to change the next and previous sample in current directory of the selected sample.
- A stereo output channel for each drum. And a mode to mix down all channels temporary into one stereo channel for quick tests to get you up and running a little bit faster on some hosts.
- The SYNC mode. The sequencer is synced by the host (DAW) and you control which of the 24 track to be played with MIDI (octave 2 and 3).
- The MIDI mode. The samples can be played through midi keyboard (octave 1) with the sequencer turned off.
- The RUN mode. Lets you play around with the TheDrumsource sequencer when your host (DAW) is not running.
- Clean interface so you don’t get distracted in your creative work. TheDrumsource uses context menus to make this possible.
TheDrumSource is available to download as a free VST instrument plug-in for Windows.

bleep!BOX now available as a Windows and Mac VST plugin
bleep!BOX, the analogue synth/drum machine for iPhone/iPad, is now available as a Windows and Mac VST plugin.
Bleep!BOX is now one of only a few apps that run across iOS, OS/X and Windows. Now you can make music wherever inspiration strikes you and then load it up in the studio later for additional effects or arrangement.
bleep!BOX VST features patch compatibility with iPhone and iPad versions enabling users to use sounds they’ve made on the phone or tablet in their sequencer of choice. It also features full parameter automation, and the option to directly sequence any of bleep!BOX’s sound parts, which will let people create even more complex arrangements.
bleep!BOX allows users to arrange synthesizer melodies, program drum beats and edit dozens of parameters in real time. Unlike other music apps, bleep!BOX does not limit users with fixed sample sets or pre-made loops. Instead it uses only tweakable, analog-style sounds.
bleep!BOX VST is available to purchase for PC and Mac for $59.99 USD. The bleep!BOX iOS App is $9.99 USD. A 25% off coupon code for the VST is available to users of the iOS app.

Two free virtual Minimoog synthesizer instruments for Windows
VoltKitchen has released version 2.3 of MinimogueVA and MinimogueLUXUS, two free virtual Minimoog synthesizer instruments for Windows.
Changes in MinimogueVA/MinimogueLUXUS v2.3
- New 24dB filter and a button to switch between the old 12dB filter and the new 24dB filter. The new filter is very advanced with built-in distortion, so it will use much more CPU. The old 12dB filter did not open up completely, but now you can enjoy the bright sound like the orignal when cutoff set to max when 24 db filter is selected. All sounds in the factory bank are set to the old filter, but I hope we can upgrade the synth with some new 24dB filter sounds later. Many of the old sounds have high resonance, and I advice you to reduce resonance level when switching to the new filter.
- Osc drive(offset) has been changed. It still has a little bit of offset just like the original, but much less than the 2.2 version.
- 10 new sounds by Sinisa Lupis.
- Added midi learn for bar-sync and the 16 gate off/on buttons.
- LUXUS version has got a new layout of controls to look similar to the new controller by Mario Jurisch of Synth-project.de.
MinimogueVA and MinimogueLUXUS are available to download as freeware VST instruments for PC.

Wave synthesizer from devloper Cableguys
Curve is a unique software synthesizer with editable waveforms and preset sharing.
For Mac and Windows, as VST or AU.
Following up on the Curve Beta, there is news and many new details about the formal release of the Wave synthesizer from devloper Cableguys. The unique software synthesizer with editable waveforms and preset sharing is intuitive and yields immediate results. The waveform editor is irresistible, and provides completely new possibilities for experimentation and detailed tweaking. Three powerful oscillators, three envelope generators, two filters and four LFOs work together in a sophisticated modulations matrix, all set out in a clear, uncomplicated user interface.
Emulated Roland SH-09 synth
SH-009 Monosynth is an unofficial emulated Roland SH-09 synth.
According to the developer:
It is is pretty close in functionality and sound to the hardware version. Highlights include a LFO modulator with random / sample-and-hold step voltage that can be used to modulate the oscillator, the filter, and the pulse width. It also includes an invert switch for the envelope, which can modulate the filter and pulse width, as well as the amplifier.
Two versions are included: a VST instrument and a VST effect. The effect version can be used as an insert or in a modular host to process external audio through the filter and to control the filter envelope.
Close only counts in horseshoes and hand grenades – but if “pretty close” does it for you, you can download SH-009 Monosynth at Postdawn Nurseries.
