Cobalt is a VSTi software synthesizer inspired by many of the digital synthesizers from the 1980s. In the early 80s as digital technology became cheaper, many manufacturers designed synthesizers that combined earlier analog technology with newer digital technology. These were known as hybrid synthesizers. Well-known hybrid synthesizers are the Korg DW8000 and DW6000, the Ensoniq ESQ-1, and the Kawai K3. In analog/digital hybrid synthesizers, the oscillators responsible for generating waveforms are digital while the filter section remains analog. This approach freed designers to use any kind ...

Cobalt Chorus is based on the chorus effect in the Cobalt synthesizer. It is capable of creating traditional chorus effects as well as flanging and vibrato. Its quadrature LFO enhances the stereo output by modulating the left and right channels 90 degrees out of phase with each other. Also, you can control the modulation depth in realtime with the modulation wheel. Key Features: Delay time from 1 to 25 milliseconds. "Quad" LFO modulation for enhanced stereo sound. Modulation wheel can be routed to control the LFO's modulation depth. Feedback for creating flange effects. Kore 2 us... [more]

The Sanford ADSR Envelope is a faithful implementation of the classic ADSR envelope. Connect it to a plug-in capable of receiving MIDI controller change messages and it's as if you've given it an extra ADSR envelope. Features: Generates MIDI Control Change messages: Messages follow the amplitude of the envelope. Key tracking: You can adjust higher notes to decay more rapidly. Velocity sensitivity: Responds to how hard you play. Legato mode: Legato and Retrigger modes supported. MIDI Learn for every parameter. All parameters can be automated. ... [more]

The Sanford Arpeggiator is a versatile and powerful arpeggiator. It can create everything from simple to complex patterns. It's a MIDI VSTi plugin meant to drive other VSTi plugins. Connect the Sanford Arpeggiator to your favorite synth and a new set of possibilities open up. Key Features: A wide selection of patterns. Intuitive note parameters for determining note length with triplet and dotted note variations. Versatile transpose section for controlling how patterns are repeated and transposed. Up to two lines of parallel harmony. Adjustable shuffle for adding swing. Synchronizes to host o... [more]

The Sanford Auto Filter represents a classic auto filter. An auto filter uses an envelope follower to track the dynamics of your playing. It uses these dynamics to modulate the filter's cutoff frequency. The effect is much like a "wah-wah" pedal only instead of you controlling the filter manually, the auto filter takes care of modulating the filter for you. The harder/louder you play a note, the more the filter opens up. As the note fades, the filter slowly closes. This effects adds an element of expression to your playing. The Sanford Auto Filter gives all of the features you'd expe... [more]

The Sanford Bass Tightener is a spatial effect for tightening up the stereo spread. It allows you to set the frequencies below a certain specified frequency to mono, for example 120Hz, while allowing the higher frequencies to remain in stereo. This can help during mixing/mastering by keeping the the bass tight and centered and the higher range nice and wide. Key Features: Low CPU usage. Four filter slopes. Four output modes. Adjustable bass amplitude. Adjustable stereo spread. ... [more]

The Sanford Delay is a VST stereo delay effect. It's an easy to use delay that gets the job done quickly and efficiently. It features a filter in the feedback path that lets you dampen the feedback over time, giving the delay a natural sound. It also allows you to pan the feedback across the stereo spectrum creating the classic "ping-pong" effect. Overall, its main quality is simplicity. If you need a straightforward delay that doesn't overwhelm you with bells and whistles, this is the one for you. Key Features Low CPU usage. Up to 1 second of delay. Independent left/right delay ...

The Sanford LFO is a MIDI based VSTi plug-in representing a Low Frequency Oscillator. It has all of the features you would expect from an LFO such as support for synchronization and providing a variety of waveform choices. Features: Generates MIDI Control Change messages: Messages follow the amplitude of the LFO. Extensive synchronization options: Supports regular, triplet, and dotted note types. Many waveforms to choose from: From sine to noise. MIDI Learn for every parameter. All parameters can be automated. ... [more]

The Sanford Phaser is a VST plug-in emulating a classic phase shifter. It is capable of a wide range of phase shifting sounds from subtle swirling effects to deep vibrato. Its quadrature LFO enhances the stereo output by modulating the left and right channels 90 degrees out of phase with each other. Also, you can control the modulation depth in realtime with the modulation wheel or aftertouch. Key Features Up to 16 stages. "Quad" LFO modulation for enhanced stereo sound. Modulation wheel and Aftertouch can be routed to control the LFO's modulation depth. Feedback for creating dee... [more]

The Sanford Reverb is a true stereo reverb. It is capable of simulating everything from small rooms to giant cavernous spaces. Its sound is dense, clean, and crisp making it perfect for most situations. Left and right input channels each have a set of 3 early reflections that can be independently set. The filter section lets you shape the tone of the reverb's output, and damping is provided to simulate wall absorption. Together these features let you shape the reverb sound to simulate almost any room. Modulation is also provided to add motion to the reverb tail. The result is a more animate... [more]

The Sanford Super Chorus is a four-voice chorus capable of creating thick and rich sounds. Each of its four voices represents a completely independent chorus effect. It’s like getting four choruses in one. In addition, the Sanford Super Chorus provides four LFOs that act as modulation sources for the voices. Like the voices, each LFO is completely independent, and each has advanced and easy to use synchronization functions. The combination of independent voices and LFOs gives you an almost endless set of possible combinations. Key features: Four independent chorus voices. Four independent L... [more]

The Sanford Super Filter features two multi-mode filters that can be routed in serial or parallel modes. It has two independent LFOs and an envelope follower that can be used as modulation sources. Each filter provides two modulation sources for their cutoff frequency. In addition, you can modulate their resonance as well. The versatility of the LFOs and the envelope follower give you plenty of modulation possibilities. Key Features: Two independent filters, each with LP, HP, and BP modes. Each filter can take up to three modulation sources. Resonance can be modulated. Serial and parallel fi... [more]

The Sanford Super Phaser is a dual phaser that can create everything from subtle phase shifting sounds to deep resonating sounds. It has two independent LFOs and an envelope follower that can be used as modulation sources. Each phaser lets you modulate its frequency with up to two modulation sources. The versatility of the LFOs and the envelope follower give you plenty of modulation possibilities. Key Features: Two independent phasers. Each phaser can use up to modulation sources. Serial and parallel phaser routings. Up to 16 stages of phase shifting. Two independent LFOs. LFOs have a spread... [more]
