Fretted Synth has updated SoftDrum and re-released Free Amp 2 (and updated it to v2.5). Both are free and are available for Windows as a VST instrument and effect respectively.
After receiving several email requests for Free Amp 2, Fretted Synth revisited FA2 and found it to be a quite different sounding amp from the latest version of Free Amp 3. Much more color in its tone compared to Free Amp 3 but very useful. So Fretted Synth updated the plug-in and re-released it.
- Provided a much larger frequency range.
- Added a three band parametric equalizer.
- Added an output limiter.
- Changed Hp, LP in the synth to a Hi\Lo shelf Eq.
- Several small changes.
SoftDrum LTD is designed as a simple to use drum plug-in. The new version includes a fix so it will trigger from Alesis pad to MIDI controllers.
Features:
- Loads standard wave (.wav) files in both mono and stereo format up to 32-bit at any sample rate.
- All sample are loaded into RAM which helps to make SoftDrum very fast and CPU friendly.
- Up to four samples to be loaded in each slot with user selectable velocity switch points.
- Six stereo outputs are provided for separate send channels.
- Contains two groups for accurate emulation of hi hats and many other percussion instruments where one sound needs to be canceled out by the last played pad.
- Polyphony is set at sixteen voices per pad, meaning that the only way a voice can be cancelled out is from itself (so no more crash cutoff by a tom roll).
- Comes in twelve and six pad versions.
