New Softube - Model 72 Synthesizer System
SoftubeStudios
"The monophonic legend, perfected. An entire system based on a classic analog synth from the early 1970s, with the emphasis on sound quality. Use it as an instrument, as an effect, in Softube Modular, and in Softube Amp Room."
MrFirechild
"Here is a track using sounds only from the Softube Model 72 Synthesizer System, a great sounding software synthesizer. The sounds in the track can be found as factory presets in the plugin.
The track is called The Swedish Model and can be found on the Firechild album The White Whale (2020).
Composed and produced by www.firechild.se"
Sequential Circuits Prophet T8 as the keyboard controller.

"The Model 72 Synthesizer System is Softube's latest plug-in. It's a reincarnation of a famous 70's synthesizer, can you guess which one? In this video Marc shows you this new soft synth, and you get an audio demo."
Priced at $99
"Based on a classic analog monophonic synth from the early '70s, with the emphasis on sound quality
A component-modeled marvel that’s true to its era with actual use cases and tricks correctly replicated in the software to take you to funkytown
An entire system that includes a model of the original instrument, an FX version, an Amp Room module, and seven Modular modules
Imagine traveling in time to the early '70s, an era where new and experimental sounds were shaping pop music and taking it a step further. Softube's Model 72 Synthesizer System is your vintage synth time machine. It's component modeled down to the smallest details with from 1972 hardware in pristine condition with all the quirks and non-linearities intact, hence the name Model 72.
The result is incredibly authentic sound, with all the warmth and smoothness heard in countless records. Now imagine this classic has traveled into the future to pick up some contemporary features like doubling and spread to create a stereo like sound image and evolve into a full system with multiple versions for different applications. Wish you were here? Take the Autobahn.
Designed by Experts, Built on Legacy
Softube has a long history of modeling professional gear. After nearly two decades working in collaboration with premium pro audio brands like Tube-Tech, Solid State Logic, Chandler Limited®, Weiss Engineering, and Trident, we have a solid track record recreating indisputable classics in software form that sound precisely like their hardware counterparts. This includes expertise in synthesizer plug-ins like Modular, Statement Lead, and Monoment Bass.
Model 72 is built on this legacy, and we took the same meticulous approach we always do – everything needs to be exact, with skillful recording, precise testing, and fine-tuning to sound exactly like the corresponding hardware or even better in terms of clarity. Nothing less."

KORG FX - Finite granular pitch shifter
Sinevibes
"Finite by Sinevibes is a granular pitch shifter effect plugin for KORG prologue, minilogue xd and NTS-1. Product page: https://www.sinevibes.com/korgfinite/"
"Finite is a granular pitch shifter. It uses real-time buffer recording and dual variable playback heads to speed the incoming audio up or slow it down, changing its pitch. This algorithm features high-quality spline interpolation for ultra-smooth pitch adjustment within the range of two octaves. Its built-in feedback line also applies the pitch shift recursively – enabling creation of truly ethereal, spacey sounds.
HIGHLIGHTS
Studio-grade DSP algorithms, calibrated specifically for KORG’s hardware platform.
Individually chosen mapping for every plugin parameter, providing a very natural feel.
Built-in lag filters for noise-free, ultra-smooth parameter adjustment.
Optimized for maximum performance and stability on each individual device type.

KORG FX - Dispersion bouncing ball delay
Sinevibes
"Dispersion by Sinevibes is a bouncing ball delay effect plugin for KORG prologue, minilogue xd and NTS-1. Product page: https://www.sinevibes.com/korgdispers..."
"Dispersion is a bouncing ball delay. It runs up to 10 delay taps sequentially, with their times spread according to a unique non-linear formula. This produces a series of sound repetitions much like bounces of a ball that has been dropped onto a surface. Each round of bounces is calculated to fit within a particular tempo fraction, making this a rhythmically precise and musically rich effect. The algorithm comes in two versions: with natural time spread (+), as well as inverted spread (-).

KORG FX - Blend multi-voice chorus
Sinevibes
"Blend by Sinevibes is a multi-voice chorus plugin for KORG prologue, minilogue xd and NTS-1. Product page: https://www.sinevibes.com/korgblend/"
"Blend is a multi-voice chorus. It’s comprised of three fully independent chorus layers, each modulated by its own parabolically-shaped oscillator. Due to relative modulation phase offsets between the three oscillators, this algorithm creates lush unison and ensemble effects with great density and natural smoothness. Thanks to its wide parameter range, it is also capable of producing highly dissonant sounds.

Keyboard Mag. July '98 | What Was In It?
Espen Kraft
"Madonnas album 'Ray of Light' is an awesome album and back in the late 90s when it was released I listened a lot to it because I loved the somewhat groundbreaking work done by William Orbit on it. In terms of filtering and chopped up vocal effects.
Internet was still pretty new back then and magazines were often how we gained intel on how major productions were made. This is the magazine that made me aware of the ADR PanScan (as Orbit explains inside how he used it on Madonnas vocals) I will show you very soon.
By 1998, sample libraries were starting to take of more and more and the Gigasampler had been launched. To have a major sampler in a plugin form was so awesome after years of having to buy big, expensive bricks of electronics to get some long samples going."
Sonicware Liven first impression using the looper
"This is literally my first hour playing with this Sonicware Liven 8 Bit Warps. Just experimenting. I’m just learning how to design sounds and layer tracks using the looper. All the sounds are from the Liven including the drums."

"A groovebox with a DX7 engine that includes a filter and lots of knobs! A conveniently portable machine with digital FM synthesis and a variety of excellent drum sounds. Plug in a midi keyboard and this thing is a DX lovers dream! This piece of gear comes with the power supply and the original manual. Data knob is prone to jitter when switching patterns. What I've done is use electrical contact cleaner when it acts up and its good as new. Everything else works perfectly."
3 custom knobs.

"This piece of gear is truly one of the coolest "one man band" machines ever created! Wayy ahead of its time. The main control box is in excellent shape ,as is the volume pedal .* Also included are the stands. The Bass pedals are from an older unit which has the steel inserts preventing from pedals from breaking. All the major main keys work perfectly ,but some of the sharp note pedals need cleaning -as I never used them. This item will pay for itself for the price im asking ,after 3 jobs playing out I am retiring and no longer have a use for it .this is a steal for the asking price .thanks for looking !"
