Analoguesque Sound Designs has released a free collection of patches for the ASM Hydrasynth, Analoguesque Esoteric II.
What they have to say about the free sound library:
“This bank of 128 patches provides musicians with atmospheric punch for their compositions.
There are, of course, several basses and leads, but the bulk of the collection concentrates on atmospheric pads designed to fill, and sometimes, create spaces in a composition. There are plenty of dark and dirty pads, noisy atmospheric “factory” pads, light wispy sounds and FX, to fill out the mix in many interesting ways.
As is customary for Analoguesque Sound Designs, these are all downloadable free of charge.”
Analoguesque Esoteric II bank is available now, along 4 additional banks of free patches.
Christmas is a time of giving, and in the music software realm it’s rapidly becoming the season of free plugins.
One developer that we can always bank on for a festive giveaway is Baby Audio. This year’s freebie has just arrived in the form of Warp, an audio manipulation plugin lifted from Transit 2, the brand’s recent plugin collaboration with Andrew Huang.
While this three-element setup is fairly simplistic, Warp has the capacity to be a powerful sound-shaping tool, ideal for creating either subtle tape-style wobbles or more extreme sound mangling effect.
Warp is one of 28 effect modules that make up Transit 2, Baby Audio’s recent collaboration with YouTuber and musician Andrew Huang. Transit 2 is a multi-effect that puts a lot of emphasis on movement, making it ideal for creating transition effects and bringing static loops to life.
Features:
Pristine, artifact-reduced varispeed control to effortlessly speed up or slow down audio.
Use the Stretch knob to control pitch independent of time for unhinged audio mangling. (Set to 50% to retain the pitch).
Powered by Transit 2 and developed with Andrew Huang.
Warp is available alongside other Baby Audio freebies including the Beat Slammer compressor and Magic Dice randomised delay/reverb. It comes in VST, AU and AAX formats for Mac or PC. An iOS version is also available on the Apple App Store.
Dawesome has introduced Zyklop, a free software synth for Mac + Windows based on the same resynthesis engine as their Myth synth.
What they have to say about it:
“Meet Zyklop, MYTH’s fun, free-spirited little sister. She’s got just one gorgeous Eye, but that’s all she needs to pull you in. Powered by the same Re-synthesis V2 engine that made MYTH irresistible, Zyklop is ready to take you on a sonic adventure full of fun, exploration, and creativity.
And the best part? Zyklop won’t ask for anything in return—she’s totally free! No emails, no awkward commitments, and absolutely zero expectations.
She’s that rare kind of love: all the fun, none of the baggage.”
