Zephod has announced the release of [BLOK].

[BLOK] is an easy to use modular synthesis environment in a VST instrument plug-in for Windows (a freeware Buzz version is also available). The available processing blocks are simple and concise and there are no restrictions on how you hook things up. [BLOK] was designed as a platform for teaching audio synthesis to students, so even beginners can get started building their own synthesizers and effects right away.

Feature summary:

• Classic synthesizer modules: [BLOK] features everything you would expect from a classic modular synthesizer: oscillators, filters, envelopes, effects and much more.
• Easy to use interface: [BLOK] was originally created as an educational program to teach audio design principles. This means that each module is simple to understand.
• Connect everything: There are no limits on connecting blocks together. if a block generates a signal, connect it up.
• Versatile DSP engine: Additive, Subtractive and FM synthesis are all possible. Let Blok be your synthesis swiss army-knife.
• Full undo/redo: Don't like what you have done? Go back to a time when you did.
• Low in CPU: [BLOK] was made to run well even on low-end computers. On today's machines, it "tears up the track". This will let you make more complicated setups and get more bang for your synthesis buck.
