Ohm Force Frohmage - Free Low Pass Filter

"Sorry, did someone say FREE! Yes indeed. Ohmforce's most affordable plugin offers, as you would a expect, a unique palette of sounds, combining lowpass filtering and analogue crunch with a bundle of special features.

You can easily tune the filter to resonate with specific notes in your music, and the built in harmonic multiband feature adds tons of warmth to your sound. For extreme fun, delay effects can be applied across the filters at the turn of a single knob, creating swish phasing or weird gliding echoes.

Finally, why not dial in some distortion. Whether you like your music to scream in pain, or simply crave that phat, analog tone, Frohmage's final overdrive stage is waiting to be abused. Oh, and did we mention that it's free?

Core features
Highly resonant low-pass filter
Cutoff frequency unit selection : Hz or musical note
Up to 15 additional bands, harmonically distributed
Delay on each band for unique phaser effects
Distortion stage, with two routing schemes
Very fine MIDI control (PRN and NPRN sent or recorded by Frohmage are 14-bit accurate)
Low CPU load
And as usual on Ohm Force products
Useful presets instant variable transitions where all the parameters switch from the old value to the new one in a ballet you won't forget!
MIDI automation: It allows control of all parameters from *any* MIDI source and records its movements. With the MIDI feature, it's also possible to adjust the LFO phase to get accurate tempo synchronization and to obtain totally musical and rhythmic effects. All RPN and NRPN data sent or recorded are 14-bit accurate. This feature is not available on demo versions but is featured on the Frohmage free version, instruments demos or every standalone versions for you to try.
Easy MIDI configuration with Auto-Bind feature. Select a knob on the screen, activate the Auto-Bind and move a controller knob on your MIDI device: the parameter will be automatically bound to the chosen knob.
Fast configuration: Save MIDI configurations into files and reload them to avoid repeating the same operations each time you load the plug-in. Advanced MIDI support with autobind feature and fast configuration
Tempo synchronization: Instantly matches the exact beat of your track
High quality DSP algorithm: The greatest sound quality. See for yourself with any demo version or check out the samples.
Sampling rate up to 384 kHz.
Revolutionary graphic user interface! Big handy buttons which are more precise and smoother than you could imagine... With our SubPixel technology there is more definition.
Move several buttons at once, with group selection and side-click. Advanced GUI full of live-performance features, such as flying knobs, preset morphing, and grouped parameters..."

Buchla 200e Emulation with a Clavia Nord Modular

via Matthew on AH:

"Personally, I think they sound nothing alike. In fact, the NM patch was trying to simulate the Analog 259 and not the 259e.

Real 200e:

This is from when I tried to build a "259" in my micro modular.

Admin: Note on the Forum

Just a note that I enabled skins on the MATRIXSYNTH FORUM for those that have trouble reading the site. If you notice the site looking "brighter" than usual, and want to go back, just set the style to AcidTechGreenEx in your profile settings. The default skin is still the darker AcidTechGreenEx, and is meant to be viewed that way.

Spectral Audio Neptune

"Spectral Audio Neptune Analog Mono Synth & MIDI-CV converter
The Neptune is an all-analog mono synthesizer with plenty of features to keep the sonic explorer happy. Real knobs and switches make it a joy to work with live, and the inclusion of the built-in MIDI to CV converter means it can be used to interface modern MID gear to older analog equipment. The Neptune also includes an audio input for processing external signals (guitar, vocals, drum machines, etc.) through the Neputne's sound- shaping circuitry. This particular unit is gold-faced, and in like-new condition. Here is the conclusion from Sound On Sound magazine's review of the Neptune:

"The continuing popularity of analogue synths is founded on two main features: their sounds, and the immediacy with which those sounds can be created and tweaked. Spectral Audio's Neptune achieves pretty well in both respects. Sound-wise, it's a reasonably versatile monosynth with a few unusual features, which make it particularly suited to the production of weird noises. And although there are no patch memories, and the controls don't transmit MIDI data to be recorded in a sequencer, it's a breeze to use, what with every parameter having a dedicated (and clearly labelled!) knob, switch or button. Those seeking to add a bit of genuine analogue sparkle to their studios will not regret putting the Neptune on their auditioning list." (read the entire Sound on Sound review here)
