KarmaStation has announced a free kick drum instrument that generates the kick from scratch through synthesis.
No samples, no layering, no scrolling through nine hundred one-shots hoping one of them sits right. You shape the sound with a handful of controls that each do exactly one thing, and you can see all of them at once.
KarmaKick features controls for the pitch drop (start, end and time), amp decay, drive, click, output level and a compressor, and 4 waveforms to choose from. The plugin comes with 6 factory presets to get you started.
Available for Windows and macOS in VST3 and AU plugin formats, and as standalone software with a built-in step sequencer, KarmaKick is a “pay what you like” download, including free.

The first release of the CA-72, a synthesizer plug-in (VST3 and CLAP) for macOS, Windows and Linux whose voice is modelled from the circuit of a 1970s analogue synthesizer: monophonic like the instrument, or one whole instrument per note with POLY.

Draw the movement. On our effects, and on your own plugins.
Sonescent Motion is a tempo-synced shaper. Draw a line and it moves your volume, a resonant filter, the stereo position and width, how hard the sound is driven, its pitch, or time itself: stutters, half speed, reverse and tape stops. The FX tab holds up to four of your own VST3 plugins, and the line decides how much of them you hear, so a reverb can arrive on beat four and leave again. The tabs across the top are the signal chain, in the order you drag them into, and there can be two of every effect. It all works on up to four frequency bands, locked to your DAW's grid or fired from your kick. Motion adds no latency of its own. Every feature is in the free version, because there is no other version.

Full Bucket Music has released an update to its recent virtual instrument that is designed to emulate the Kawai K3/K3m synthesizer from 1986.
Version 1.1.0 of FB3 comes with new presets and various improvements and fixes.
The K3 was Kawai’s first “hybrid” synthesizer: A digital sound generation module combined with analog filters and amplifiers. Korg had released similar machines, the DW-6000 and the DW-8000. PPG pursued the same approach with their famous Wave series, while featuring a much more sophisticated (and expensive) way of sound generation, the groundbreaking Wave-Table Synthesis. And there are many, many more to follow (Ensoniq ESQ-1, Sequential Prophet VS, to name a few…)
Changes in FB3 v1.1.0
The synth is free to download for Windows and macOS in VST/VST3, AU, AAX and CLAP plugin formats.
