GSi Genuine Soundware and Instruments

This is one of those I can't believe I haven't posted this before posts. GSi makes a number of quality soft synths and effects, many of which are actually free. If you haven't checked them out yet, make the time to do so.

"Apparently, General Soundware has made some of their plug-ins free of charge, including the WatKat, TimeVerb, and Legacy Plugins. Honestly don't understand why people pay hundreds of dollars for old-instrument-simulation plugins, when stuff like this is available. Even their costliest plugins, the VB3 and MrRay73, are only 49 euros."

Weird Sound Generator

"This is how I dealt with Ray Wilson's Weird Sound Generator kit from musicfromouterspace.com. Ray offers all kinds of cool kits from DIY synth modules to a 16-step analog sequencer. I mounted mine in a Lindberg plastic human skull model kit. We use the thing in our music by running it into the audio-in jack of the Korg Electribe. It can be tuned a bit at least, otherwise it is simply chaos."

Actual Atari 2600 TIA MIDI Synthesizer :)

YouTube via TheMindOfPat
"It's not as pretty as some, but it does indeed make noises! Responds to note on/off and patch change events. Obviously implementing the bender would be meaningless since the TIA can only play 32 discrete notes. :)

This is just playing around, see my last post for the whole wordy narrative."
