Krakli Software has released RMP2, a new multi-timbral synth consisting of two distinct sections: one using the hybrid FM/Physical Modelling techniques from Krakli's Richman series, the other section using the Multi-Oscillators from the S series synth.

RMP2 comes complete with 384 patches contributed from Himalaya and Dimitri Schkoda. The vast number of presets mean that you can use RMP2 as a preset machine if you are daunted by its un-conventional controls - but it is also easy to create new and interesting sounds.

The bottom area of RMP2 allows for independent arpeggiation of each synth section and you can apply a fully variable key split enabling Chords and solo parts to be played at the same time.

The download currently contains 3 different coloured GUIs for RMP2.

Also included in the download package (to further encourage you to donate) is another plug-in: S3O. This is best described as a power-organ emulator, not especially designed to deliver Hammond Organ tones, S3O will also deliver thundering church organs and Cheesy transistor sounds. S3O is a reworking of a plug-in previously only available in Computer Music magazine. This version, however, is much expanded and has a much greater tonal range.

Pricing & Availability

RMP2 is Donationware. It is available for Windows as a VST instrument plug-in.
