You know what's pretty incredible? No one was doing this back in the day.

Audio Damage Filterstation2 Back From the Dead

via Audio Damage

"Filterstation2 is a full top-to-bottom end-to-end rewrite of our Filterstation dual filter plugin, and finally brings this bad boy back to our store. Product page is here. We'll be releasing an iOS version hopefully before the end of the year. Filterstation2 is US$49.00 for AU, VST, VST3, and AAX. An upgrade for existing Filterstation owners is available for US$10.00."


"The Filterstation2 download includes 32/64-bit VST and VST3, and 64-bit AAX for Windows 8.1 or greater, and as a 32/64-bit AU/VST/VST3/AAX for OSX (10.8 or greater).

Coming soon for iOS AUv3 and IAA Standalone.

Filterstation2 is the Audio Damage take on the classic serial/parallel/stereo dual filter topology, made famous (and some would say "indispensable") by the Sherman Filterbank and its many clones. With twelve filter algorithms, an envelope follower with stereo sidechain input, a full FSU section for extra signal hacking, and an easy-to-use interface, Filterstation2 is a valuable addition to any producer's toolkit.

Filterstation2 takes our original Filterstation plugin, and adds an all-new HiDpi/Retina-capable vector-based UI with resizability, a completely rewritten parameter and DSP section, a full selection of extreme modification tools, ProTools support, an cross-platform XML preset mechanism.

Repro 1.1 Update Now Available with Repro-5 | Patches via BoBSwanS

Repro-5 Patches by BoB SwanS Available Now!! Published on Dec 15, 2017 BoBSwanS

via U-He:

"We are wrapping up 2017 with the release of Repro v1.1, a free update for Repro-1. A year ago we released Repro-1, a brash and raw monosynth. This year we added a new polyphonic family member: Repro-5.

Repro-5 shares a lot of sonic DNA with Repro-1, but once you start playing with Repro-5 you will discover new and unique flavours and characteristics, most notably polyphony."

And via BoBSwanS:

"I rarely have the time to create patches since the birth of my daughter but after playing with the public beta of U-He Repro-5


I was amazed and excited to create some patches similar to my Prophet 12 offerings. This is seriously (in my opinion) The most authentic sounding Prophet 5\Analog synth emulation i have ever had the pleasure of using.

So without any further rambling

I present

126 new patches for U-he Repro-5 by BoB SwanS

Featuring Classic and Contemporary Basses, Leads, Keys, Pads and Fx

I have programmed the majority of these patches to have both subtle and dramatic changes in tone and character using the 2 available mod slots, Aftertouch, Velocity and the mod wheel assign functions.

All patches are tagged using the plugin's internal tagging system


Please take the time to listen to the audio demo's before you purchase the patches, It is a short selection of a few personal favourites, some are played live and some are sequenced.
The demo's have no fx other than the ones built into Repro-5 and the file is not Mastered or EQ'd in any way

The patches are available here
https://sellfy.com/p/pQ7c/

A special introductory price of 12 Euro is available until the 31st of December 2017, after that they will be 16 Euro

Enjoy!!"

Estradin 11 - Ultra Rare Vintage Soviet Analog Drum Machine

Note: links to listings are affiliate links for which the site may be compensated.

via this auction

"There are three rows of round buttons that represent steps in a drum sequence. The first row is for the Kick drum and the second is for the Snare. All of these buttons are working and you can create custom patterns with the kick and snare. I believe the third row is for the hi-hats, however it seems that this row is unfortunately not working, although the hi-hats are audible in the preset patterns.

If none of the pattern buttons are engaged, you can create your own patterns using the round buttons on the front panel. If a pattern button is engaged, you can use the round buttons to add their respective drums to the preset pattern. In this way, you can create pattern variations and fills on the fly.

All the pattern buttons work and they all latch, meaning they stay pressed in until you press them again. It’s easy to press multiple button combinations to create hybrid patterns. The translation of the pattern buttons is as follows: Rhumba, Samba, Mambo, Cha Cha, Jazz Rock, Bossa Nova, Beat, Folk 1, Tango, Swing, Folk 2, Beguine, March, Slow Rock, Ballad, and Waltz.

There are additional control buttons on the front panel. The “P/4” button seems to alternate between 4/4 and 6/8 versions of the patterns, unless the pattern is already in 6/8 (or 3/4). There are a pair of buttons, one marked with a triangle, and the other with a triangle and a circle. I can’t tell exactly what they do, but at least one of them needs to be engaged in order to play a pattern. Finally, the “K” button mixes in the custom sequences for the kick and snare (and hats if they’re working) that you create on the round buttons.

The included foot pedal makes something happen, although I’m not sure that it’s working as intended. It’s a controller pedal rather than a momentary pedal, and using it seems to just toggle between normal pattern playback and a loop of the first step of the pattern. Useful for fills perhaps?

Lastly, it's important to note that although the Estradin 11 is normally a 220V machine, this unit has already been converted by a previous owner to 110V for use in the US. No external step up transformer is necessary. However, like most Soviet electronic instruments, audio is carried on a 5-pin DIN connector. If you need to wire up an adapter, tip is carried on pins 1 and 4, and sleeve is on pin 2. Pin diagrams can be found with a web search."
