Pigments - Arturia

Arturia have had quite a pedigree of really great synths over the years , and 'Pigments' is certainly an evolution of their fine architecture , painting a canvas of hybrid wavetable/ analog sounds. 'Pigments' is beautiful designed and really shines when it comes to  the modulation , which are quite easily assigned once you know how , and are wonderfully displayed with the moving graphics. Sounds are excellent too which certainly leans more toward sound design and creation of  unique textures.

Taking that spark of imagination and transforming it into sound is the most fundamental, exhilarating part of creating music. Pigments makes that process natural, intuitive, and colorful.

Your sound, in living color
Imagine a sound, then create it.

Pigments gives you the finest elements ever found in a software instrument, letting you create pioneering, exciting, and deeply personal sounds. Laying everything out before you, Pigments lets you fully express your creativity in a way that’s never been seen before in a software instrument.

Pigments features a twin audio engine, letting you mix virtual analog and wavetable oscillators to create the perfect starting point for your patch. You can even morph wavetables, or import your own.

What you do next is up to you. Experiment with 3 envelopes, 3 LFOs, and 3 function generators. Assign modulators to animate your sound, and breathe life into it. Add controlled, or totally wild random changes to any parameter with a Turing probability generator. Run it through 2 filters, with any combination of iconic analog filters or modern formant and surgeon filters you want. Process your patch with exciting contemporary effects like wavefolder and multifilter, or vintage studio reverbs, delays, and EQs.

Ultraspace - Tone2

If there's one thing that Tone2 really excells at it's reverb. For ambient space design this is brilliant with lots of innovative space modelling.  Nice to see a ducking feature too which most reverb units rarely have.A definite go to reverb and probably the only one you will ever need!

Tone2 releases UltraSpace, a new compact plugin as an all-in-one solution for everything related to ambient simulation.

Available as VST (Windows) or AU (MAC) plugin formats, UltraSpace is the complete ambience-modeling solution. It can simulate nearly any kind of room, echo or acoustic environment with high-end sound quality.

UltraSpace is far more than just another reverb – it’s a complete compilation of different effect units covering all important aspects of space simulation. By combining these units, completely new and unique effects can be created.

Highlights:
One compact plugin as an all-in-one solution for everything related to ambient simulation.
Replacement for a large number of very expensive hardware units.
Modules can be combined to create new and unique effects, not possible with competing products.
Make your tracks stand out in the crowd!
Huge sonic range, and usable for a large number of applications.
Higher sound quality than competing products. Effect algorithms designed by DSP experts with 20 years of programming experience.
Excellent value for money.

Visual real-time displays and tooltips make it very easy to use.

Dune3 - Synapse Audio

The new and improved Dune 3 is now even better than previous versions. Not onl;y sounding superior but now with a great wavetable editor and dual filters. The FX section has also been expanded with many excellent presets and fantastic EQ's. Nice also to see a dual arpeggiator. Only thing missing really is still no drag and drop modulation and the choice of colored skins has dissapeared. All in all though this is a formidable synth with superlative fat lush sounds.

DUNE 3 builds on the award-winning DUNE 2 synthesizer, adding frequently requested features and innovative ideas, to create the best DUNE experience ever!

DUNE 3 comes with many new patches crafted by expert sound designers. Since DUNE 3 is fully patch-compatible with DUNE 2, it includes its presets as well,
doubling the factory library size to more than 1000 patches.

The revised filter section in Dune 3 now sports a dual multimode filter plus an insert effect. Different routing modes like serial/parallel and seamless blend via the Balance knob allow for unlimited creative input! New filter types have been added as well, and include zero-delay feedback filters derived from our latest analog modeling technology. For creative applications, new insert effects like the formant/vowel filter or phaser greatly increase the range of sound design possibilities.

Dual Arpeggiator

Two arpeggiator units instead of just one greatly increase the sound design capabilities of DUNE 3. The Arpeggiators can be programmed independently and support both classic Up/Down arps, as well as playing back different sequences or even MIDI files. Furthermore, new features like the Random mode or programmable Arp Hold make the arpeggiator more powerful than ever before!

Improved oscillators

At the heart of DUNE 3 are its powerful oscillator blocks. DUNE 3 supports VA, FM and Wavetable synthesis. With a maximum reserve of 8320 oscillators at full polyphony, DUNE 3 is a true unison monster, unlikely to ever run out of oscillators.

New in DUNE 3 is the "Swarm" mode, an evolution of the classic Supersaw oscillator.
Each oscillator gets its own subtle modulation in this mode, breathing a lot more life into the sound than possible previously!

New effects algorithms

DUNE 3 offers many new effect algorithms in all categories like Distortion, Chorus, Phaser, EQ, Delay and Reverb.


One of the most important additions is the new Equalizer, which sports technology from our GQ-7 Graphic Equalizer rack extension.


Designed as a professional mixing and mastering equalizer, the new EQ offers four bands with high-quality parametric and shelving EQs, plus two additional low- and high cut filters with variable slopes. All filters in the EQ are designed to handle modulation without artifacts, such that the EQ can be used for creative purposes outside the realm of traditional EQ applications.


Another great new effect algorithm is the new Shimmer Hall, an exclusive feature of DUNE 3 - ideal for lush ambient sounds, wonderful pads and leads!

Wavetable Editor

The new Wavetable editor introduced in DUNE 3 is one of the most powerful around. Waveforms can be created via free-hand drawing, segments, a dedicated partial editor or by entering formulas. A variety of functions like morphing, fade in/out, normalize, DC remove, Invert/Reverse make creating new wavetables a breeze. Waveforms and Wavetables can be imported and exported in WAV format and are thus compatible with a wide range of third party software.

Riff Generator Pro 2 - Audiomodern

A simple but VERY effective riff generator which is quite easy to use compared to others , as this one does not have to be routed out to a different midi track. For getting ideas down quickly, this does a really excellent job, and the generated midi data can also be written to your track!

Random Riff Generator is a midi tool that generates sequences for you, these midi sequences/riffs can be sent to any synth, software or hardware, sampler, drum machine.. and basically anything that accepts a midi signal.

It is literally a swiss army knife for creating random melodies, sequences and musical riffs on the spot and it goes as far as your imagination can.

You can use Random Riff Generator PRO with any kind of software or hardware synth, sampler, drum machine and so on. You’ll be surprised about its incredible flexibility in producing so inspirational results.

Random Riff Generator PRO has been designed to promote music creation both in studio and live with a simple and convenient user interface.
