via Waldorf

The versatile Waldorf synthesizer classic Blofeld now also available as a plugin for your DAW.

With the Blofeld plugin you can also control your hardware and it is compatible with existing Blofeld soundsets.

The sound generation of the Blofeld plugin delivers the typical fat and rich Waldorf sound character that so many Waldorf users worldwide love when they are playing their Q, Q+, Microwave, Microwave II/XT or even the flagship, the Wave. The secret of its sound is a powerful wavetable engine that enables these intense and expressive sounds.

This unique synthesis system is based on the revolutionary PPG synthesizers of the early 80s. When you hear the Blofeld for the first time, you’ll immediately remember those edgy, assertive or bell-like timbres that have been an integral part of countless worldwide hits since the PPG era.

✈️ Alesis AIR FX ✈️ 🎧 (no talking) 🎧

video upload by Cutoff Frequency - gear stuff (no talking)

"This is a video demonstrating the sounds of the Alesis AIR FX.

The Alesis AIR FX was released in 2001 and it wasn't much of a commercial succes. At the time I was very reluctant to go on stage with a laptop of any sort, so I was always on the lookout for performative instruments. This ticked all the boxes. Just put it between a sound source and an input and start sculpting your sound in the air. It looks great on stage, all tough it might be something of a insiders thing. Still, it is a bit of a mystery to me why nobody is using these kind of effects. Nowadays they sell for reasonable prices, so I wouldn't hesitate to buy one if mine broke."

GliGli's Overcycler Demo

video upload by Ticco Ross

"When I heard that the guy that designed the famous Sequential Circuits Prophet 600 mod was going to release a low cost synthesizer based on the ssm2044 filters, I knew right then that it was going to be an amazing project.
A man only design, develop and build project. With its own sound makes this a unique synth with a lot of possible modulations functions. Here you can hear some patches I made with it."

The GForce IconDrum pays homage to the legendary Linn drum machine revising the concept for today’s digital age. The IconDrum provides a bridge connecting the iconic sounds of the early 80s with the creative possibilities offered by modern rhythm creation methods.

Authentic Sound—Immerse yourself in the vibe of old-school drum sounds, recreated and refined for pristine clarity without losing their classic digital warmth. The IconDrum brings you a rich library of 100 authentic sounds, each carrying the soul of the original machine.

Limitless Creativity—Aligned with its innovative feature set, the IconDrum’s sleek and user-friendly interface invites everyone, from beginners to experienced producers, to engage, experiment, and create sounds that are timeless and span a multitude of musical styles.

A LASTING LEGACY INTO THE HEARTBEAT OF MUSIC HISTORY

Like the Oberheim DMX drum machine, the original Linn hardware has left an indelible mark on the soundscape of popular music, crafting the rhythmic foundation of timeless tracks across a spectrum of genres.

From the unmistakable pulse of Prince’s “1999” and Michael Jackson’s “Thriller” to the iconic beat driving The Human League’s “Fascination”, the LinnDrum defined an era. Its rhythms laid the foundation for a-ha’s “Take On Me,” Madonna’s “Lucky Star,” and Billy Idol’s “Eyes Without a Face,” shaping the unmistakable sound of the ’80s. Even Peter Gabriel’s “Sledgehammer” and Stevie Nicks’ “Stand Back” owe their groove to this iconic drum machine.

We’ve included all the original sounds, maintaining their unique character that propelled these classic tracks. The IconDrum also offers many alternatives, expanding the classic sound set to inspire both nostalgic recreations and fresh, innovative productions.
