NUSofting has introduced Sinmad, a hybrid virtual analog + physical modeling synthesizer for Mac and Windows.

Sinmad is a VA synth, but, in addition to the the standard subtractive resonant filter, it uses a resonant delay network, creating sounds that the developer describes as ‘wild’ and ‘organic’.

Features:

• Multiple oscillator, including standard waveforms and FM, sub oscillator, noise and the one-shot sample player with special functions called HIAT [harmonically integrated attack transient].
• Main subtractive filter (VCF), plug a fixed HP pre-filter and bit depth reduction.
• Polyphonic delay matrix , a highly configurable feedback delay network (FDN) featuring three delay lines per voice [E.G. your can have 9 modulated comb filters in a 3 notes chord].
• Three envelope (2 x ADSR, 1 x AR) and two LFOs.
• Custom equalizer : HP, Notch, LP , Hi boost :to shape the timbre before the effects sections.
• Effects : # saturation limiter combo (‘sat lim’) to emulate amp high gain, # ‘echobis’ a double delay effect with sync to time and pitch functions, # reverb in two flavors.
• MIDI controls : pitch-bend 24 st range, assignable modWheel (CC1), assignable aftertouch, assignable keytracking
• Microtuning (per octave) editable on GUI.

Sinmad is available now for €81,50. Audio demos are available at the developer’s site.

Get a free spring reverb plugin based on a rare 1960s effect that was built for the BBC.

Fuse Audio Labs has just introduced a free spring reverb plugin. It seems that VREV-666 is based on the Grampian 666, which was built for the BBC back in the ‘60s and is capable of delivering “rich, bouncy, and unpredictable vibes”.

The Grampian 666 had just one control, but VREV-666 adds a mix stage, pre-delay of up to 150ms and a tone EQ that attenuates the resonance of the spring system in the bass range. There is also a limiter for taming peaks.

VREV-666 runs on PC and Mac in VST/AU/AAX formats and can be downloaded for free, though you will need to sign up for a Fuse Audio Labs account to get it.

Brains could be the beginning of Behringer’s move into music software.

Behringer today introduced the Brains Multi-Engine Oscillator Module for Eurorack modular synthesizers, a clone of the Mutable Instruments Plaits.

Like the Plaits, Brains features a wide range of digital oscillator modes, ranging from virtual analog to FM to drum synthesis. The Behringer version adds a waveform display and a USB connector on the front of the module.

Here is what they say about it:

“Brains comes with multi-functional Timbre, Harmonics, Frequency and Morph controls that can be used to tweak each of the 20 synth models. Just select the active synth mode with the model button then start turning the controls to change the character of your sound source until you get your desired tone.

Set any of BRAINS’ 20 synth or percussion and noise engines such as Virtual Analog, Waveshaper, FM, Grains, Rain, Noise, Dust, Modal Strings, Bass, Snare or Hi Hat to generate dark pulsating beats, bright and spicy tones, ripping leads, lush chords or ethereal pads to really breathe life into your music.”

Plaits uses open source software and hardware licensing, which means that anyone can make a clone, but they are required to follow the restrictions of the license – for example, releasing the source code for GPL’d projects and giving proper attribution for Creative Commons licensed projects.

The Behringer Brains is  priced at $149.
