Quilcom SpinSynth Windows VSTI x86 x64 Free

This novelty “toy” synth was inspired by this video: I wanted to have a go on it, so I made something similar! It’s not going to be your go-to synth by any means, but I hope you have at least a few minutes of fun with it! https://flowstoners.com/quilcom free download…

Quilcom GHOST RADIO Windows VSTI x86 x64 free

Quilcom OCTOTAP Windows VSTI x86 x64 FREE

Someone wanted a free multitap delay with an output from each tap, so they could add their own FX to each tap and optionally feed it back into the delay. To my surprise I couldn’t find one, so I had a go at making one. http://flowstoners.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/09/Quilcom-OCTOTAP-v1.003.zip Quilcom-OCTOTAP-v1.003

Quilcom SIM-GUQIN Free

The SIM-GUQIN aims to simulate the main aspects of this ancient Chinese zither. I’ve tried to make it as easy to play as possible, but you’ll need to watch the video, read the User Guide and get to practice with it a bit first. http://flowstoners.com/quilcom Quilcom-SIM-GUQIN-v1.002

Quilcom SNARED!

One of my YouTube subscribers suggested I made an effect plugin to create sympathetic snare rattle. In a live performance the snares can be rattled by loud bass or the kick and low toms. Also, acoustic drum samples are normally recorded in isolation so there’s no snare contribution. So you…

Quilcom SIM-FBK

Following a suggestion from someone, I had a go at simulating guitar feedback. Nothing can beat the real thing when controlled by a skilful player, but it might be useful as an effect. For a real guitar you’ll need to use a compressor on the input to get a long…

Quilcom COD Chorus

This stereo chorus is quite different to the conventional ones, and uses a technique I think I invented because I’ve found no mention of it anywhere (yet!). COD stands for Cross-fading Of Delays and has nothing to do with the Atlantic fish! The sound is very different from the regular…

Quilcom SIM-CELESTA

As I write this it’s coming up to Christmas 2022 and there’s a dusting of snow outside, so I thought I’d share something with a suitably seasonal flavour. Of course it’s a simulation of a Celesta (or Celeste) and being a synth it can do glockenspiels and other stuff too….

The SIM-RHYTHMICON plugin gives you the chance to explore and play a virtual version of this remarkable polyrhythmic instrument built by Leon Theremin in 1931.

Quilcom SIM-THROAT[Windows,VSTI,X86,X64]

Quilcom UPVERB

The Quilcom UPVERB is an unusual variation on a regular reverb. Often reverbs have a damping control which reduces the higher frequencies progressively as the tail decays by using a low pass filter in the feedback path. The UPVERB however uses a high pass filter instead so the sound progressively loses the lower frequencies…
