u-he releases RePro-Alpha free synth plugin

u-he has announced the release of RePro-Alpha, a free researchware synthesizer instrument for Windows and Mac.

It is an excessively CPU hungry anti-optimized monophonic synthesizer, in essence a stripped down version of the Sequential Circuits Pro-One we're currently modeling.

The research part is, we have implemented the same pretty extreme model of the CEM3320 Curtis filter chip in our vintage Pro-One using 5 different numerical methods, each costing a very different amount of CPU. We wish for you to spot the "most analogue" sounding method. By that we wish to see if it is worth spending a lot of CPU or if we could get away with something cheaper.

Tritik updates Krush to v1.0.3

Tritik has updated their free bitcrusher plugin Krush to v1.0.3.

Changes:

- Fixed: anormal signal distorsion for buffer sizes smaller than 256.

Krush is a bitcrusher for Mac OS X and Windows, available in Audio Unit, VST and AAX formats.

With its bit crushing and downsampling algorithms, Krush is designed to combine the crispy taste of the digital realm with the warmth of its drive stage and analog modeled resonant filters.

A modulation section allows a user to modulate any parameter. The sound palette produced by Krush is intended to range from dirty digital effects to crunchy modulated colors, with all bit-crushing effects in between.
