Very inexpensive and rock solid stable. A weird but very very powerful midi implementation makes this a drum vsti that keeps its place by offering unique features.

Excerpt from the Orion-central review:

At this moment this is my drum machine of choice and I think it will completely replace my use of Orions build-in drum machine for regular drum sequencing (the Orion drum machine has some tricks no VSTi drummer has right now). If you need professional drums in your tracks (and don't we all do...), and the native Orion drum machine does not cut it for you, then you should check out the DK1. After using the Orion drum machine (with it's pattern buttons) it took a while to get used to the DK1 but now I'm sold on it. And all those available LM4 kits are begging me to be downloaded to my computer and to get used in my songs. I'm having fun with it !

Product: Mastering Peaks Processor (MPP)
Developer: A0
Type: Dynamics (Compressor / Limiter)
Price: €25
OS&Formats: WindowsVST
Mastering Peaks Processor (MPP) is an advanced mastering peak limiter, with a variable look-ahead time window. The state-of-the-art algorithm behind the processor offers clean peak limiting without audible distortion. Thanks to its design MPP also offers an "analog" feel similar to a warm studio compressor with all the accuracy of the 64-bit precision of a digital limiter. No compromise between the sound quality and the CPU usage have been made, except for some clever optimizations that are necessary to get this kind of limiter to work in real-time. No matter how loud the input signa... [more]
