FunkBass is a free sample-based virtual instrument plugin for DAWs and other plugin host software running on Windows and macOS.
FunkBass was designed as a fast & light but solid tool to create simple bass lines in musical genres such as Pop, EDM, Funk Soul, RnB, and more.

All of these patches can be selected from the top menu, also you have access to a basic filter with high/low cut, attack & release envelope, as well as gain and pan. There’s also included an LFO modulation section with LFO speed & depth knobs and wave type, source, and destination selectors.

Give new life to wavetables by using Vital’s spectral oscillator warping.
Spectral warping acts on a waveform’s harmonics and can create drastically different shapes and timbres from a simple source.
Customize your sound
Turn your own samples into wavetables by using Vital’s pitch-splice or vocode wavetable converter.
Create wavetables from scratch using the built-in wavetable editor and even generate wavetables from text!
Vital is a visual synthesizer. See what’s happening behind the scenes with animated controls, filter responses, waveforms, smooth LFOs, oscilloscopes, spectrograms and more.
All animations run at 60 frames per second and are GPU optimized which leaves your CPU to do its real job: the audio processing.
Connect anything
Modulate Vital’s controls with a fast, drag and drop workflow.
Vital gives you a preview of the modulation before committing so you can quickly experiment without ruining your sound.
Modulate your sound with custom LFO shapes, snappy envelopes and randomized sources like perlin noise.
Give your sound some human touch with velocity, aftertouch and MPE control modulation.
Get deep into modulation
Use stereo modulation to split the left and right channels of every modulation to get extra wide stereo effects.
Then ‘remap’ the modulation curve to customize the shape of every modulation connection.
The RK-100S2 has you everything you need to take center stage. Play standalone thanks to powerful onboard analog modeling with vocoding and arpeggiation, or control external MIDI devices. Two assignable control ribbons provide expressive modulation and scale generation options—all in a sleek, unique, solid wood body in your choice of red or black.
Available in limited quantities through select retailers.

Steinberg has announced the availability of a virtual instrument that delivers a beautiful low-fidelity sound for a different kind of production aesthetics.
Conceived and designed for sound designers, beatmakers, musicians and producers, LoFi Piano is based on an upright piano recorded with carefully selected microphones.
The warm characteristics provided by the microphones were processed to lend each music production a gritty blend of contemporary and vintage piano sounds. Also included are six effects, and presets for interesting chord progressions.
“Not only is LoFi Piano for free, but it’s also quite the outstanding instrument featuring unique piano sounds,” says Senior Marketing Manager Florian Haack. “We thought we’d like to give something back to the community, and we hope you like it!”
LoFi Piano features:
Beautifully tape-saturated piano for HALion.
6 LoFi-inspired effects for tunes with a dusty ambience.
Free LoFi keys for VST, AU and AAX hosts.
The instrument is available for free by registering through the Steinberg website.
King OZ Records has announced a new version in the Esquire limiter series. DSPplug Esquire3 features an improved algorithm combining LU and dBFS detection, so as to ensure real-time detection (LU with its lack of early bass results in slower detection).
The Esquire3 also sports a true peak limiter, this brick wall device will limit to -1.1 / 1.0 dBTP without failing. The result is a limiter with an attack and release that can sculpt sound, providing a smoothing effect.
Version 1.5 has been well tested and the GUI is coded and optimized in pure ruby and no graphic is moving faster than refresh/fps rate. The DSP has been heavily optimized and modified to avoid any clicks and pops during utilization (though when switching from one mode to the next, there will likely be a volume difference).
Quick and nimble and very professional sounding, the DSPplug CEO Robert E. Langford assures that this product is ready for professional application and will sound exactly like extremely expensive hardware, due to intensive testing and real-world application.
Version 1.5 is now available as a free download for Windows (64bit VST/VST3).
Yarra Audio has announced the release of its new Kontakt sample library P511, a free instrument that features the sounds of a 5U modular synthesizer.
P511 brings the beautiful analog tone from the raw analog oscillators combined with the convenience of a virtual instrument and expand its capabilities in a way where musicians wouldn’t be limited by pre-defined sounds, but have total freedom to manipulate and create their own soundscape by controlling the parameters on the instrument interface.
The instrument is laid out in a simple and logical way, which make it easy to understand its signal flow. Each module represent one of the building blocks of a classic subtractive synthesizer architecture.
Each oscillator has been carefully recorded from two distinct oscillators units and for that reason P511 keeps the characteristic of the original hardware.
Available for the full version of Kontakt 6.6.1 or higher, P511 is free to download from the Yarra Audio website.
Make sure to check the Freebies for Native Instruments Kontakt page for many more free downloads.
