Sounds like casinos/pacman. Designed for live use. download Event Generator Ordinate:    Probability-based drum sample sequencer.    Includes 3 programmable probability sequences, and a fourth sequencer which switches between them at another timing resolution, so you can program a 'fill pattern' to be more probable every 8th measure et c.    Muchacho VST is intended to be a companion for this generator.    May not function correctly on multiprocessors. download Ordinate Shoggoth:    An older two voice K-S 'plucked string'. CPU runs high, some people like it.    Midi note relates to the tonic but is transposed by a few semitones due to the marvels of science. download Shoggoth Xchanter:    This synger-derived 'algorithmic vocalist' uses a reduced phoneme set inspired by polynesian languages.    Xchanter uses Lance Putnam's henon oscillator (orbit modeling) sep. This is a very old VST, as of 2008 I still hear of it being used. download Xchanter EFFECTS: Channelswap:    Applies the host-synced algorithmic patterning engine used by other plugins with same GUI style to switch left and right channels. download Channelswap Ckpitchshifter:    A wrapper for Chris Kerry's low CPU, high quality pitch shifter. download Ckpitchshifter Discipline3:    Randomly switches between multiple delay taps for randomised audio segment effect. download Discipline3 Formant Shifter:    This plugin was offered as a solution until a better freeware was available. Shift is accomplished by stretching wavecycles. Breathy vocals and sibilance will produce very distorted output. download Formant Shifter Gate3:    My most recent gating plugin. Host-synced lfos can create crossrythms, randomised amplitude, modulate gating period, et c. download Gate3 Muchacha:    Applies David Haupt's granulator to clock-synced probability sequencer. download Muchacha Muchacho:    Probability-driven synced repeater, a.k.a. the "Stutter" effect. download Muchacho Outdoorverb:    A sparse algorithmic reverb for environments with partial reflection. download Outdoorverb Plate:    A simple 'rectangular' delay network creates near-reflections before Etric Van Mayer's Rev-8 module. download Plate Sandh:    Periodically captures a wavecycle and 'freezes'. An audio 'sample & hold' effect. download Sandh MP3 demo Servo:    Applies a simple algorithmic sequencer to downsampling settings. download Servo Smoky Joe:    This is an old, very glitchy wavecycle-stretching formant shifter, suitable for FSU applications.    This effect can be heard on the vocals of 'Planet Rock'. download Smoky Joe Spring:    A 4-section waveguide with proprietary spring reverb algorithm. download Spring Waterverb:    Uses massive cascades of allpass filters interspersed with short randomised delay times. An FDN is located in the feedback loop for 'ocean floor' echoes.    Depending on the input and feedback levels, the signal may drop silent. Highpass filtering is suggested. download Waterverb MIDI: Arp4midi:    An arpeggiator. I have never used this plugin! Installation of MIDI plugins varies between hosts. download Arp4midi Circuit:    Circuit's algorithm is designed to create natural feeling rhythms by evening the distribution of beats and rests.    Each measure is divided into short phrases, and probabilities are assigned to each step so that a part can be weighted towards the downbeat or the upbeat.    Circuit can be used for live performance or run automatically.    Circuit is $33. The demo is limited to 80 bpm. download Circuit demo Hyperion:    Hyperion MIDI VST has a semi-modular structure suitable for a wide variety of tuned algorithmic applications. LFOs and counters are used to easily create dynamic MIDI sequences and change them on the fly, or to modulate other components of the architecture.    Hyperion produces glissandos or subtly varying sequences for up to three parts on three separate MIDI channels using a simple chord function. It can also be used as a phrase arpeggiator to make sure that you never play out of key or out of sequence.    Hyperion is available for $25. The demo is limited to bpm settings. download Hyperion demo Midilegato:    Delays NoteOff events on one midi channel by up to 500ms to turn generated sequences into legato sequences. download Midilegato MiniSeries:    A smaller, different version of Series. Miniseries has one modulated counter that progresses through eight MIDI note assignments.    Three LFOs and a variety of performance controls make MiniSeries capable of generating a wide array of sequences. download MiniSeries MiniSeries electrofunk mp3 MiniSeries rhythms mp3 Series:    Series is a MIDI sequencer based on the concept of serialism.    Two separate counters can be assigned to three gate sequences and three modulation sequences. With three LFOs, four random step generators and performance controls, Series is capable of generating and modulating intricate arpeggios and rhythms.    Series is available separately for $20 or is included with your donation. Talent:    An algorithmic MIDI application.    This plugin will be replaced in spring 2008. download Talent Information page Wav4midi:    Plays wav files really slowly and translates them to MIDI cc values. download Wav4midi MODELS: Boing:    A waveguide Bo(wed str)ing using a Friedlander-Keller scattering junction. Documentation in zip file. download Boing Bomb:    This freeware synth uses a 6th order mass-spring and filtered noise for simple emulation of explosions. It is similar to Mass and Cymbal (front page) and Gun VST (Gun adds a multitrigger). download Bomb Cylinder33:    A waveguide drum model as shown on gui.    Note that high feedback settings can exceed unity which can be employed for timbre or overload. Always use a limiter and low monitor levels when patching! download Cylinder33 Friction:    The friction algorithm is combined with a 2nd order mass-spring and two waveguide resonances for flexible emulative application.    Presets include squealing tires, squeaky hinges and axles, ww2 bombs, swingsets, et c.    The license is $15 (or $10 for current customers). The demo removes some parameters. download Friction demo listen to mp3 tour Gun:    This VST is almost identical to Bomb VST (above) with the addition of a gently randomised clock for "automatic fire" effects.    Gun is exclusively available as a bonus item included with all other licenses. listen to mp3 KL Tract:    The Kelly-Lochbaum model represents a cross-section of the vocal tract with reflection coefficients.    This implementation is a temporary offering for experimentation and does not include on-board modulators. Low settings for some reflection coefficients can produce feedback overload, so always use a limiter and low volume levels. download KL Tract Mass-Springs:    Mass VSTi and Cymbal VSTi are percussion synthesizers that use mass-spring models to produce realistic dynamic and timbral effects.    Boundary conditions imposed upon the movement of a multi-order mass-spring provide complex timbres that evoke common modes of vibration in acoustic forms.    These models are augmented with conventional subtractive elements to comprise low-cpu solutions for improved realtime percussion synthesis.    These VST are priced at $15 for the pair. The demo versions remove some parameters. download demo listen to mp3 listen to mp3 listen to mp3 Pling2:    A pl(ucked str)ing model. download Pling2 Snare:    Cylinder33 with 4 'snare' vectors. This low number is closer to a gut snare eg. Tabor than modern snares, both may have similar damping dynamics. download Snare Surface:    A 2d square resonance for percussion. download Surface Sym5:    A 5-channel FDN that can produce sounds similar to 909 hihats. download Sym5 Synger:    Monophonic synthesizer with phoneme sequencing. This older VST will be updated soon.    Note that GUI reads 'Syng' and not 'Synger'. download Synger Honey mp3 Virtual Machine:    A commuted synthesis model for emulating engines and other cyclic mechanical sounds.    Virtual Machine is my gift to those who make a donation. It can be purchased separately for $20. pdf listen to mp3 NATURE: Fauna:    Fauna produces natural and synthetic animal vocalizations using waveguide modeling techniques.    An extensive set of modulators make Fauna a versatile new generation synthesizer. Pitch and timbre can be controlled by traditional methods, or as a function of the form working as a whole.    The core of Fauna is a 5-segment KL tract coupled to a first order mass-spring. The movement of the 'glottis' interacts with reflected pressure waves, resulting in natural pitch cascades.    Unlike most xoxos VST, Fauna is not freeware, however you decide how much to pay for the patched version. It is suggested that your donation be in the amount you usually pay for VST.    Fauna is ideal for animators and for musicians who wish to adventure into abstract territory. Demo has 16 patches, paid version has 107 download Fauna demo - patch list - pdf Fauna demo mp3 - animals Fauna demo mp3 - human and synth Suggested payment of $33. Oscine Tract:    Oscine Tract VST models the songbird vocal tract, also known as the syrinx.    This VST is part of 'Sounds of Nature' VST collection, which was voted first place in the Developer Challenge 2007 held by www.kvraudio.com. For more information and MP3s, visit: Sounds of Nature information page download Sounds of Nature VST Pack Rain:    Rain is a low CPU emulation using subtractive synthesis. see Oscine Tract above for download link Synsect:    Synsect uses a single sample impulse clock routed through a series of resonant filters to emulate the high frequencies produced by small insect bodies. see Oscine Tract above for download link Thunder:    Thunder uses a combination of filtered delay networks and subtractive synthesis to emulate the transmission of sound between earth and sky. see Oscine Tract above for download link Wind:    Several groups of modulators are applied to a bank of bandpass filters for this emulation. see Oscine Tract above for download link PERCUSSION: Brush:    Brush is a quick wrapper for an impulse cluster modulator. The length of the impulses can be changed to produce timbres similar to bitcrushing.    The output is routed through a state variable filter coded by Chris Kerry to produce a simple and flexible midrange percussion module. download Brush Clap of Luxury:    A syncable noise algorithm is precisely amplified and applied to three filters to create virtually any clap sound in existence.    The patch names were contributed by the users of www.kvraudio.com VST forum. download Clap of Luxury Cleardrum:    A simple introductory percussion synth useful for analog snares. download Cleardrum Dystopia:    An 808 hihat and cymbal emulation to accompany Utopia. download Dystopia Expodrum:    Two separately filtered and pitch-enveloped noise, sine or sample oscillators. download Expodrum Power:    A 4-part phase modulation percussion synth. This was created for my own use and has cursory labeling and documentation. download Power T Osc:    An attractor-based percussion oscillator perhaps similar to the T-circuit used in Roland's classic analog drum machines. download T Osc Utopia2:    My emulation of older analog hihat and cymbal circuits found on machines like the dr110. download Utopia2 SYNTHESIZERS: Clearsynth:    A simple 2-oscillator synthesizer for students.    The first 42 patches progress through the features. The patch names should acquaint the user with a basic knowledge of subtractive synthesis. download Clearsynth Cosmo SE:    The featureset of this phase distortion synthesizer is similar to the Casio CZ101, including the noise source.    The oscillators are the standard SynthEdit PD oscs created by Jeff McClintock.    Note that the architecture is a quick port of Puru VST and the patches have not been translated. I recommend NOVAkILL for more PD synthesizers. download Cosmo SE Expo:    This 3-oscillator phase modulation VST includes emulations of my favourite classic Yamaha DX patches. download Expo Isnonu:    A wrapper to audition Chris Kerry's Unison Osc and SV filter modules for SynthEdit.    Many tasteful patches have been contributed by Ouroboros and others to make Isnonu a useful low-CPU option for unison sounds. download Isnonu Noisemo:    An unusual and noisy little synth - each wavecycle is produced by retriggering a noise generator, producing an arbitrary, harmonically rich timbre.    Auto-crossfading is applied to the two oscillators to create smooth evolving textures similar to Ensoniq's Fizmo.    The wasp pictured on the GUI used to come in through the air conditioner and land on me when it wanted to go outside. download Noisemo Perfecto:    There are two good things about Perfecto and two bad things: the good things are that Perfecto's two oscs modulate each other to create classic analog effects, and that Perfecto includes a pitch scaling component.. meaning that your playing is in key and that pitch modulation can create complex arpeggios.    The bad things are that cross-modulation uses TONS of cpu and the oscillators aren't antialiased.. these are some of my first audio oscillators. download Perfecto Puru:    Developed in conjunction with Cosmo SE, Puru is an audition for Chris Kerry's phase distortion oscillator SEM for SynthEdit.    The background graphic is used with the permission of Shane Sanders. download Puru Regula:    Basic VA architecture with a unique distortion effect produced by multiplying the decimal portion of the sample value.    Regula comes in two flavours: Regula can select between 67 alternative temperaments mapped to each octave, or Irregula, which is fixed to the pythagorean 17-tone scale used in arabic maqamat temperaments. download Regula download Irregula Steam:    Steam uses prepared wav files in a similar manner to some Waldorf and Ensoniq synthesizers.    I have been told that the header data for the wav files is written incorrectly (perhaps due to the free wav editor I used) which produces clicks during modulation.    I would prefer not to offer this VST, for some reason it seems to be popular. download Steam download Steam Waves Svati:    Svati is an demo for Chris Kerry's Spectral Oscillator. download Svati Urom:    Urom is an demo for Chris Kerry's drawable waveform oscillator. download Urom Whoosh:    Whoosh is a 1 oscillator synth for creating simple swell effects. It's one of the first VST I made and is apparently popular with some users. download Whoosh Xompler:    A 53 waveform rompler. Samples are dual cycle, and may employ either the first, the second, or both cycles as the oscillator.    One of the LFOs uses the rompler waveforms. download Xompler UTILITIES: Blinker:    Someone asked for a VST that would give their drummer a visual cue to match tempo. download Blinker Controls:    Eight assignable sliders for freeing up screen space. download Controls Steps:    A VST emulation of the popular software Hammerhead. download Steps Donations are deeply appreciated and will subscribe you to exclusive releases.
