Linda Audio releases Rock Amp free plugin effect

Linda Audio has released Rock Amp, free VST2/3 plugin effect guitar amp simulator.

Rock Amp

"My first attempt on VST guitar amp simulator. No specific hardware simulated, no advanced circuit emulation algorithms used - just tuned to sound good to my ears. It is useful for rock and for low to mid-gain sounds, but it is also capable of something close to high gain."

This is only Amp simulator, it does not feature Cabinet simulator. For cabinet simulation you can use some free Impulse response VST plugin like Ignite Amps NadIR.

Free Kawai BS-30 felt piano for Kontakt by Jon Meyer

Media composer Jon Meyer has released a free Kontakt instrument library featuring the sounds of a Kawai BS-30 upright piano.

Jon Meyer Felt Piano

I sampled my Kawai Piano with the felts engaged for that dark, moody, quiet vibe. Neumann KM84’s provide the focus, U47 clones bring the hype and width with Coles 4038 Ribbons on the back for a nice round, clear low end.

The sample library is available as a free download to newsletter subscribers.

Jon is also offering free sample libraries of a vintage Ludwig kit covered in blankets and sampled with brushes, an original instrument that blends a Native American flute with a violin, and a set of sampled Schulmerich Handbells.
