Full Bucket Music Bucket ONE, a free plugin emulates Crumar BIT One Synthesizer

28 Jun, 2023 No Comment

Full Bucket Music latest free plugin brings back the Crumar Bit One analogue polysynth – Released back in the mid-’80s, the Crumar Bit One was an Italian 6-voice analogue synth that was viewed at the time as a cut-price rival to the Roland Juno-106.

Now, the company is attempting to bring the Bit One back into the public consciousness with the Bucket One, a free plugin emulation. Download a “close emulation” of this ‘80s curio for your DAW.

Bucket One is designed to closely resemble the original hardware, meaning you get two oscillators with a choice of three waveforms (triangle, sawtooth, pulse) and an additional white noise generator. In addition, there’s a self-resonating, four-pole low-pass filter and a VCA, both of which have ADSR envelopes, and a pair of LFOs.

Polyphony has been enhanced to 64 voices and there are now Split and Double modes. Micro-tuning is supported, there’s MIDI Learn, and the interface is resizable.

Coded in native C++, Bucket One promises high performance even on lower-spec systems, and runs on PC and Mac in VST/AU/Clap formats. Find out more and download it on the Full Bucket Music website.

Big Stuff, Free Plugin emulation of Classic Electro-Harmonix Big Muff

23 Jun, 2023 No Comment

Nembrini Audio’s Big Stuff is a plugin emulation of Electro-Harmonix’s classic Big Muff pedal, a free plugin that promises all the fuzzy fun of the hardware in your PC, Mac or iOS DAW.

Having seen Electro-Harmonix create a ‘hardware plugin’ version of its Big Muff pedal last year, now Nembrini Audio has released a standard plugin emulation, Big Stuff, and is enabling you download it for free.

For the uninitiated, the Big Muff is a classic fuzz/distortion/sustain pedal. Released back in the ‘70s, it was favoured by everyone from Jimi Hendrix to Carlos Santana and David Gilmour, and its sound is still in demand today.

Big Stuff promises to do an accurate job of nailing the Big Muff’s tone and workflow. As on the pedal, there are volume, sustain and tone controls.

When used in combination, the volume and sustain can do everything from cleaning up a signal to adding more obvious sustain and distortion, while the tone control operates like a low-pass filter.

What Nembrini Audio says about it:

“Nembrini Audio Big Stuff is modeled on a Electro Harmonix Big Muff.

The Big Stuff will give you a sweet violin-like sustaining sound. It’s the same legendary created by Jimi Hendrix”.
