Magical 8bit Plug

Magical 8bit Plug 2 is a software-synthesizer developed by Yokemura@YMCK which generates primitive electronic sounds like the old 8bit game consoles. It can be used as a plug-in for the host applications that support Audio Units or VST.

Magical 8bit Plug 2 can produce the 8bit-specific sounds, namely pseudo triangle and low resolution noise, that are hard to reproduce with ordinary synthesizers. And on top of that it implements precise controls for 8bit-style expressions like pseudo polyphony, duty envelope etc.

Magical 8bit Plug 2 is technically distinct from the previous one(Magical 8bit Plug), so you can install both and keep using them separately.

Features:

• Basic 8bit-style waveforms (See the table below).
• As the new waveforms, 1bit noise is introduced, which can emulate the sound of original 8bit console more accurately.
• Envelope forming with so-called ADSR.
• Pitch bend capability with depth control.
• Auto Bending(a.k.a Frequency Sweep) which is suitable for making sound effects and drum sound etc.
• Vibrato to enrich your musical expression.
• Custom envelopes, which gives you more precise control over volume, pitch and pulse duty values.
• Portamento for smooth transition between the notes.
• Arpeggiator to play a pseudo polyphony in the way like playing real polyphony.
