AOFN Audio’s Grizzly is a stereo modulation effect, based on the 1979 Gristleizer circuit, published by David Simpson in Electronics & Music Maker.

It uses an internal LFO with triangle, square, rising saw, and falling saw waveforms to drive a modeled JFET stage in either VCA mode, which modulates the input amplitude, or VCF mode, which modulates a low-pass filter.

The plugin includes adjustable modulation speed, depth, shape, offset, bias, drive, and stereo spread, with free-running or host-synchronized operation.

Features:

• Modeled JFET stage based on the 1979 Gristleizer circuit
• VCA mode for amplitude modulation, including tremolo and rhythmic gating effects
• VCF mode for low-pass filter modulation
• Internal LFO with triangle, square, rising saw, and falling saw waveforms
• LFO speed from 0.01 Hz to 30 Hz
• Host tempo synchronization with note divisions from 1/1 to 1/32
• Shape control adjusts triangle slope asymmetry and square-wave duty cycle
• Offset control determines how much of each LFO cycle drives the effect
• Bias control sets the attenuation floor in VCA mode or base filter brightness in VCF mode
• Drive provides ?12 to +24 dB of pre-gain into the modulator
• Spread introduces inter-channel LFO phase offset for stereo movement
• Output Level control
• Bypass control for the complete signal chain

Grizzly is available now as a free download.

Quantastical Sound’s Synpathy is a free software string machine that uses a sympathetic resonance system in which held voices share a common field and interact with one another.

The instrument provides three primary controls:

• Form, which shapes the string sound from thin and glassy to wide and choral;
• Aura, which controls the surrounding spatial character; and
• Synpathy, which adjusts the interaction between voices.

The instrument also includes 16 presets accessible using the arrow keys and per-voice humanization that varies the response of individual chords.

Features:

• Sympathetic resonance system in which held voices share a common field and interact with one another
• Form control ranges from thin and glassy string sounds to wide and choral sounds
• Aura control ranges from dry and intimate to vast and washed-out spatial character
• Synpathy control adjusts the degree of interaction between voices
• 16 hand-tuned presets accessible using the arrow keys
• Per-voice humanization introduces variation between chords

Synpathy is available now as a free download for macOS and Windows.

Musik Hack, the developer behind the Master Plan, Fuel and SweetEQ plugins, has launched HyFi, an online mastering platform that the company claims can deliver “professional results with minimal effort”.

HyFi’s workflow is intentionally simple and fairly similar to other online mastering services: drag-and-drop a mix into HyFi on desktop, tablet, or mobile, wait a few moments and download a mastered version.

After uploading a track, you can adjust its loudness and tonal character and reprocess the master if you’re not happy with the results. (The first change is free, but subsequent changes cost one credit each.)

The Character setting offers three options – Bright lifts the high end, Warm boosts the low end, and Glue applies “gentle and cohesive” dynamic control – while the Loudness control gives you a choice between Balanced, Full and Loud options. HyFi also includes an A/B comparison tool with gain matching and a reference track.

HyFi’s mastering is powered by the same technology as Master Plan, a plugin from Musik Hack. The company says HyFi is designed to preserve the character of a mix rather than fix it, promising “clear, loud and subtly saturated” masters and avoiding the “aggressive EQ curves and heavy-handed changes” applied by some of its competitors.

HyFi accepts WAV, MP3, FLAC, AIFF and AAC files and exports masters as WAV or MP3. Finished masters are stored for 30 days as standard, but you can extend this to a year for one credit.

Avoiding the much-maligned subscription model, HyFi instead uses pay-as-you-go credits. Each credit is equivalent to one minute of processed audio and credits cost between $0.33 and $0.50, depending on how many you purchase. New signups receive 10 free credits, and existing owners of Musk Hack plugins can use their loyalty discounts on HyFi credit purchases.

With the launch of HyFi, Musik Hack is entering a well-established market for automated online mastering populated by scores of platforms offering a simple and inexpensive way to polish a finished mix and make a track sound ready for release.

Many of the most popular services utilize AI-based mastering, but Musik Hack doesn’t claim that HyFi uses AI under the hood, relying instead on the DSP behind its Master Plan plugin. Though HyFi only currently offers mastering, Musik Hack tells us that the platform will eventually expand to encompass other audio processing tools.

HyFi is available now. Find out more on Musik Hack website.
