This is a collection of free waveforms for the experimental synth/patch retrosampling_oscillatorpakprogrammer that uses a sampler for waveform playback instead of oscillators in a synth, all samplers more or less have a unique sound, and new sounds can be sculpted with that sound by using it’s ADSR and builtin effects (if any) or by processing it further with external plugins and effects. It may not be the excellent waveforms that makes this free collection so good but the extensive format support.

InFrequency has released a free ambient music album, Au Clair De La auclairdelalune_digital1Lune, that brings together tracks from nine electronic music artists.

Musicians featured:

  • PHILIPPE JELLI
  • JIMMY BEHAN
  • VENUS VULTURE
  • THOMAS ANFIELD & DAVID BIRCHAM
  • RICHARD LAINHART
  • CIMARRON CORPÉ
  • SHIN ICHIRO A
  • ROB THEAKSTON
  • SIGHUP

InFrequency asked the musicians to submit their own interpretations of an 1860 recording by Édouard-Léon Scott that’s thought to be the first recording of the human voice.

The free release goes along with a limited-edition two CD release of the same name. Details at the Infrequency site.

This project is a conceptual extension of breathing life back into this document through modern technology; deciphering a voice that was etched into a thin layer of oil lamp smoke, and featuring a diverse group of international contemporary composers, creating new works from this ten second piece of history.

The original recording was made by Édouard-Léon Scott de Martinville on April 9, 1860 using his own invention, the phonautograph, and consists of a series of scratches on a roll of blackened paper. Scott had never developed a way to play back his recordings and they went unheard for 148 years. In 2008, scientists at the Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory converted the thin lines back into audio, allowing us to hear a woman singing a segment of the folk song Au Clair de la Lune.

It is a quite simple organ with some interesting sonic capabilities.micro-organism
It was designed using Outsim|Synthmaker some months ago, and was/is my first ever attempt to make an organ-sounding VSTi.

VescoFX has released three free VSTs for Windows users: free-queue-shine

  • Free queue - This free VST plugin is an equalizer. The sound of this EQ will very much remind you of many classic analog designs. You get access to four bands of equalization with two shelving filters and two peaking filters, a design which matches that of many sought after high-end console equalizers. Many mix recipes are included as saved settings which can be loaded through your VST host.
  • Free outsider – this is a phase plugin. This free VST plugin will take any track and turn it inside out, making it sound as if the audio surrounds you.
  • Free haas - This free VST delay plugin offers uncluttered access to essential stereo effect parameters.
