SB-3

SB-3 is a stereo detunable virtual analogue synthesizer with a phat circuitry and a very crazy vintage look. Starting from the 60/70s basic subtractive synthesis concepts, SB-3 develops a step ahead without losing the vintage flavour: the 3 oscillators architecture is completely original with the oscillators 2 and 3 (if turned on) sharing the same pitch values but not the waveform or the fine tuning. All 3 oscillators are doubled when Stereo Detune is on.

Also featuring 2 multi-mode filters, 2 LFOs, 2 envelopes, distortion, tape delay and chorus to get a thick sound.

Features:

-1 or 16 voices (Mono/Poly)

-Optimized for monophonic use (bass/leads) - low CPU usage.

-Full stereo phat sounding Architecture.

-Stereo detune (with on/off switch)

-Ultra Analogue or Phat option (analogue modelling circuitry)

-3 oscillators (each one with saw, square, sine, triangle and white noise waves) + sub (sine wave) design.

-Oscillators are doubled when Stereo Detune is on: oscillator 1 is stereo (L+R) and has a mono sub-oscillator (centered); oscillator 2 is stereo (L+R) and oscillator 3 is double mono (L+R but mixed and centered). This architecture provides great phatness without any further effects (check preset 11 – Vintage Heroes).

-Oscillator 3 is detunable with oscillator 2 (but both share the pitch value).

-Ring Modulation (oscillator 1 vs oscillator 2)

-Hold note/free modes when in monophonic keyboard mode.

-Portamento (not in poly mode)

-Pitchbend (up to 24 semitones)

-Two multimode filters in serial or parallel configurations.

-Filter 1 with 12 dB LP or HP options.

-Filter 2 with Mad Dog 24 dB LP, 12 dB LP, 12 dB HP, 12 dB BP or 12 dB Notch options.

-2 Sync/free run LFOs (sine, saw+, saw-, square and triangle waves) with 7 possible destinations.

-2 envelopes (amp + filter) - optionally, they can modulate the LFOs amount value for complex modulations.

-Effects: Distortion (2 types), Tape Delay [sync rates only] and Chorus.

-Spider-eyes style level meter.

-Output amplifier with limiter.

-Dual LCD display.

-Midi Learn feature on all knobs for easy control with hardware.

-99 presets on board (including 23 kindly provided from KVR forum member TOTO)

-Back view with block diagram (audio flow + modulation flow)

-Easy to use, intuitive, old-skool style GUI.

-Rusty Vintage Sci-Fi Design.

Full automation, MIDI learn (right-click knobs), zero latency.

This is a 32-bit VST plugin and it is not available individually - only included in the Synths and Total Packs.
