Pro
SoloVst and VL-122 software synthesizers are now free26th May 2012
AM Music has set free its
Pro SoloVst and VL-122
instrument plugins.
The AM
Music Technology Pro SoloVst
is a simple virtual instrument that reproduces the
monophonic analog preset synthesizer from the early
1970's ARP Pro Soloist.
The sound engine of the
Pro SoloVst is a
software emulation of the real analog algorithms
implemented
inside the original instrument: VCO, resonators,
filters, VCF, VCA and analog effects. So you can
hear and feel analog-like warm sounds coming out
from a set of 30 voices corresponding to the presets
of the synthesizer.
The AM Music Technology
VL-122 VST instrument virtually reproduces
the vintage electro-mechanic spinet organ Hammond™
L-122.
The sound engine
of the VL-122 is a physical modelling emulation of
the real electro-mechanic generators (tone-wheels),
drawbars, filters and effects (vibrato and reverb)
that compose the original instrument. Moreover, some
new effects have been added to recreate the complete
set of timbres that characterize all the Hammond
spinet organ sounds, from classic and church to rock
and progressive. But why a new virtual Hammond organ
emulation, when lots of them can be found for either
commercial or free?
Actually the
VL-122 is not one more Hammond B3 or C3 console
organ emulation. It is the emulation of the so
called “spinet” organ L-122 (or L-1xx series, where
xx is related to the mechanic design only). The
spinet organ has a quite different sound, respect
the most popular console organs. The timbre is less
aggressive and more rounded, and it has been used in
very different arrangements than the bigger brothers
B3 or C3.
Just as example
try to listen the characteristic sound of early
Genesis (1970-1975).So, the VL-122 is not one
alternative choice to the other clones, but one more
VST plug-in to add to our own virtual instrument
setup.
Both plug-ins are
currently available to download for Windows (VST). A
free Mac AU version of Pro SoloVST is coming soon.
