Black Noise has announced that it has made several modules available for free in VCV Rack.
This includes three virtual modules: COSMOS, Slew-LFO, and the new GOMA II.
What they have to say about them:
“In this initial release, we’ve concentrated on the highly requested COSMOS, Slew-LFO, and the brand-new GOMA II. COSMOS was an ideal choice for this launch because it’s such a groundbreaking module, even if it can be a bit tricky to wrap your head around—there’s really nothing else quite like it. By bringing COSMOS to VCV Rack, we aim to provide everyone with the opportunity to easily explore and unlock the full potential of this exceptional module!
We put in tremendous effort to ensure this port is as faithful to the hardware as possible, which was quite a challenge! The result is a remarkably accurate module that also incorporates features enabled by the software, such as polyphony and over-sampled logic outputs.
Additionally, we’ve seized this opportunity to introduce some new features for Slew-LFO and GOMA II, but we’ll leave it to users to discover those for themselves! We hope that users will enjoy this first release and that these modules will inspire their creativity and lead them to explore new sonic landscapes.”
You can find information on the new modules at the VCV Rack site.
