Homegrown Sounds has announced the release of Black Magic Lite, which is billed as the free little sister of Black Magic, the imminently available loop generating VST instrument plug-in for Windows. With the ability to quickly randomize and save out looped WAVs, the Black Magic machines make building a unique sample collection easy and quick. Even though Lite has fewer features than the big version, all of the important ones have been retained, so it is a fully functional synth in its own right. Upgrading to the big version, you will get a large collection of included samples, the ability to use your own and a hard compressor, amongst many other things.

Some of the main features:

• 10 Samplers - each with many parameters and modulation options.
• 128 Preselected Samples.
• FX Section with SoundScaper, Delay, Flanger/Filter.
• 10 Part 32 step sequencer.
• Overview Mixer.
• Master Section.
• 1 Bar Recorder.
• Much More.
