We are pleased to introduce you to the first instrument from our new collection of free VST / AU plugins - Djembe.
Djembe is one of the most popular ethnic percussion instruments. For recording we used a 10-inch handmade mahogany djembe with a genuine leather membrane.
We recorded 3 microphone positions to maximum sound flexibility: The main condenser microphone capturing the vibrant membrane sounds, a dynamic microphone positioned opposite from the djembe's resonator for depth, and condenser stereo pair for recording room's acoustics
Each of the articulations (Bass tone, Open tone, Slap tone, Flam, Mute and Roll) is recorded in 4 levels of velocity and 5 layers of round robin.
We hope you enjoy this instrument and may it inspire you to create incredible new tracks! :)
Hamburger is a distortion plugin with inbuilt dynamics controls and equalisation that can deliver both subtle tangy harmonics and absolute annihilation and noise-wall-ification to any sound. If you need control over your distortion tone, you can carve and refine your sound resulting in extremely unique timbres. Compress and shape the dynamics of your sound before distorting to make your synths and instruments punchy and juicy. You can provide subtle flare, texture and grit to a sound that didn't have one.
You can also hit the pedal to the metal, go crazy with the knobs and enter sonic territories that other distortion plugins would be TERRIFIED to enter.
Hamburger is supported for Windows, Linux and MacOS devices, in VST3 / CLAP / AU formats.
Note: This is the alpha version of Hamburger. This will turn into the free version of Hamburger. The only difference between the free and paid versions is that the paid version costs money, whereas this one is free. Functionally, both versions are the same. You can pay money for this plugin if you would like to support my work

Introducing Liver6 - The Revolutionary Leap Backwards in Guitar Tone Technology
In a world obsessed with the future, Aurora DSP proudly presents a time machine for your guitar: Liver6. Why stride forward when you can moonwalk back to the glory days of dial-up internet, frosted tips, and when "social networking" meant a MySpace Top 8?
Liver6 is our latest, greatest, and most paradoxical achievement yet—a cutting-edge, neural network-powered VST plugin meticulously simulating the iconic, somewhat plastic-y essence of the early Line6 Kidney 2.0. That's right, we've harnessed advanced technology to replicate a digital unit that was, in itself, a pioneer in pretending to be something it wasn't. It's like using a smartphone to make a call. Who does that anymore?
But why, you ask? Because we can. Because nothing screams "metal" like resurrecting the high-gain, face-melting, bedroom-produced guitar tones that fueled the early 2000s. The era of Myspace, post-hardcore, and, let's not forget, crabcore. Yes, we're bringing back the tones that powered the soundtracks of meticulously curated HTML profiles and angsty teenage poetry.
Liver6 offers an unparalleled journey back to a time when your biggest concern was the order of your Top 8 and whether your crush appreciated the subtlety of your emo song lyrics. With Liver6, you too can recreate the sounds that once emanated from your oversized headphones, as you carefully navigated the social minefield of friend requests and passive-aggressive status updates.
But wait, there's more! Not only does Liver6 replicate the classic tones with unnerving accuracy, but it also adds a modern twist with features that the original Kidney 2.0 engineers would have sold their vintage cargo pants for. We're talking about AI-driven tone matching, social media integration for instant tone bragging, and, of course, a "Random Emo Band Name Generator" for when inspiration strikes as hard as your teenage angst did.
So, strap on your guitar, slap on some eyeliner (optional, but encouraged), and get ready to relive the glory days with Liver6. Because progress is overrated, and nostalgia is just a plugin away.
Disclaimer: Aurora DSP is not responsible for any existential crises that may occur as a result of using Liver6. Nor can we guarantee protection from judgmental looks by pets, plants, or significant others who just don't understand the artistic merit of crabcore. Happy April Fool's Day! Now go make some noise that would make your teenage self proud.
