Marco Belloni Quarantine Piano Virtual Instrument Kontakt [FREE]

Marco Belloni has announced the release of Quarantine Piano, a free virtual instrument for Kontakt based on a Yamaha U3 piano.

The Yamaha U3 was sampled with two Aston Starlights in vintage mode and a Rode NT2000. Marco says this is not just a piano, but rather a toolkit offering 5 versions of the piano (both normal and felt) and other sound-designed goodies that can possibly let you create full tracks with this library alone.

Quarantine Piano library consists of an array of patches (30 NKI instruments) such as Piano, Felt Piano, Flickering Piano, Harmonic Piano, sound designed elements, percussive presets, and other extra utility patches to enhance your tracks.

Sonicbits Exakt Lite V0.9 FM Synthesizer VST AU WIN OSX [FREE]

Sonicbits Exakt Lite V0.9 FM Synthesizer VST AU WIN OSX [FREE] 

Sonicbits has announced the release of Exakt Lite, an intuitive and user-friendly FM synthesizer plugin.

Exakt Lite is capable of many sound types, from the harsh digital and cold sounds known from the FM era to warm and organic sounds. It has 4 operators which can be arranged in the classic 8 FM algorithms with feedback on operator D. On each operator we find different waveforms such as the basic sine, saw, square, and triangle. Additionally, the 8 classic waveforms from the Yamaha TX81Z are emulated. Further, each operator features a separate amplitude envelope generator supporting the classic 5 point TX envelopes. These envelopes have been modeled to mimic the TX characteristics.

The interface has a clean and modern look and supports blur-free resizing.

Features:

4 aliasing free Operators with classic TX waveforms

12 voices

Drag-and-drop envelopes

8 classic FM algorithms with feedback on operator D

Resonant filter with 24db/oct lowpass, highpass and bandpass

Visualization of the resulting waveform for immediate editing response

LFO syncable to host

Exakt Lite is a synthesizer plugin that can be loaded on DAWs and other plugin hosts running on Windows (VST 2 and VST3) and macOS (AU, VST2, and VST3), 64 bit only.
