replacer - drum replacer



Replacer" is a VST plug-in designed to replace drum and percussive sounds with other samples. Basically, it is comprised of a band-pass filter which selects the relevant frequency of the sound required to be replaced, and then the peak amplitudes at this frequency then trigger chosen sample/s. The samples can be 16 or 24-bit PCM Wave files recorded at any sample rate.

Features:

   24dB band-pass filter
   Simple gate
   Visual and audio monitoring section
   4 sample layers (full version)
   Sample start and end adjustment
   Accent amount and smooth (attempts to replicate the dynamics of the original trigger sound)
   Sample ADR envelope with amount control
   Sample pitch control

s16 - 16 step sequencer




(Known problems - can be a bit glitchy when changing patches.)

One sample for the sixteen steps
Controls for each step (direction, octave, semitone, fine, attack, decay, release, filt amt, pan and volume)
4 Divisions (1/2, 1/4, 1/8 or 1/16)
4 step choices (2, 4, 8 or 16)
Program/pattern can be chosen on the GUI, from the host's patch change, or via MIDI (note-on C2-B4)
Global release and volume
4 LFO's with a 4x10 matrix
Filter (bp, br, hp, lp and moog type)
Distortion
Delay with seperate filter and distortion
Flange
Fully automatable (24 parameters)

Dragon II - virtual analogue synthesizer



(Known problems - quite CPU hungry, does not work in every host, takes a while to load in host, can hang up computer when exiting a host program using the VSTi.)

Oscillators

3 Dual oscillators with detune
4 Waveshapes (sine,saw,triangle and square)
Octave, semitone and cent pitch control
Pulse width
Sync
FM
Sub-oscillator (saw/square) with octave pitch control (-1/-2)
Noise generator (white/pink)

Modulation

3 LFOs with attack, 5 waveshapes (sine,square,saw,ramp and random sample and hold), pulse width, the option to sync to the host tempo (1/16 to 16 bars) and restart
3 Envelopes (attack,delay,sustain and release) with invert

Modulation wheel and velocity control which can both modulate 33 parameters simultaneously

Filters

2 Multimode filters with 5 filter types (band reject,high pass 12dB, band pass 12 dB,low pass 12dB and moog-style 24dB ladder), cut-off, resonance and keyboard tracking
Pre-filter overdive for each filter with shape and amount control
Link option for the cut-off and resonance controls
Mix options include just filter one, series or parallel
Parallel mix control
Dedicate envelope with invert
Option to route either or both filters to the envelope

Amp Envelope

Option to modulate the amp at audio frequency with the output from one of the oscillators
