Product Reviews by KVR Members

In my opinion, Nuklear by Hamburg Audio is an exciting new VSTi that carves out it's own niché. To my ears it's certainly not analog, but in all fairness it's not trying to be analog. It is, however, a really tasty sounding digital synthesizer that reminds me of the wavetable stuff, i.e. Wavestation, PPG, and the underrated plugin called Kubik. I like the cool blue GUI. It's futuristic and easy to look at. Maybe the browser items could be a little bigger, but all-in-all I enjoy launching this thing. The step sequencer is helpful and the envelopes and oscillators are sweet. More presets. .. that's what we need. Hopefully 3rd party sound designers will jump on this explosive soft synth and help lazy bums like me have access to more great sounds! Unless you are doing all electronica stuff this might not be your "go to" synth for basic tracks; yet, it will be the plugin you launch for the fun stuff that makes your tracks stand out! Thank you Hamburg Audio for designing something fresh for my ears. .. and eyes!

Note: It seems this fine synth has been sidelined.

In my opinion, BazzISM-2 is how plugins ought to be. .. easy to use, fun to use, and powerful! I've only had this kick-making dream for about an hour and I'm already addicted. Don't be fooled by the simple GUI. This thing packs a wicked punch. My speakers are shaking. I think my neighbor is banging on the wall, but I don't mind as it seems to be in tempo. My only suggestion is this. .. GIVE US MORE! Whoever designed this clearly has his/her finger on the pulse, so ride that pulse into SnareISM. That would be an unbeatable audio power couple. Thanks so much for creating BazzISM. I'm having fun and who knows. .. I might actually make some music for a change!

Combined with MiniSpillage-2, DrumSpillage is a 10. Alone, it's a solid 9!

There have been a few excellent comprehensive reviews on DrumSpillage, so I won't go into detail. But, what I will do is tell you this. ..

DrumSpillage is UNBELIEVABLE and UNBEATABLE for the price. So simple, yet so powerful. It's refreshing to have a drum synth that enables me to create my own sounds by tweaking DSP algorithms. This plugin is extremely easy to use and deep if I need deep! It's also very CPU friendly. I can run a few thousand instances on my MacBook (well, maybe a little less). The only thing missing is the ability to integrate samples and demo beats with a built in sequencer, but have no fear. .. AudioSpillage has taken care of those needs by releasing MiniSpillage 2. I picked up both of these plugins and find them a perfect compliment to each other. I love the GUIs. .. neat, clean, and hi-tech. They work seamlessly in Studio One and Logic. There are no useless knobs and wooden panels and all the other junk that get in the way of creating music! This is the closest thing I've found to having a direct jack into my brain! Thank you so much AudioSpillage for creating stuff that is sonically sweet, fun to use, and affordable. If I had a hat it would be off to you guys!
