Virtual Minimoog


Based on the most popular analog monosynth of all time! This amazing softsynth sounds very close to the original Minimoog. Like the original, it's a monosynth (no polyphony), but there are many additional features not present in the original Mini, including: dedicated Release knobs for the two Contour Generators (envelopes), Tuning of Osc 1, Fine Tuning sliders for Osc2 and Osc3, Aftertouch control, adjustable filter Velocity curve, 3 independent Overdrive sliders (one per oscillator), Global Overdrive with hi and lowpass cutoff, Oscillator Sync, Chorus, an independent LFO that includes oscillator drift and stereo panning, and a fully programmable Digital Delay.

MTron Pro is coming soon


Sonicstate.com shot a long, detailed video on NAMM about GForce's new, upcoming virtual instrument, MTron Pro. Based on their previous Mellotron emulator, MTron, they developed really a lot: a new, rewritten audio engine, new features like reversing all the tapes and so on. The biggest news inevitably is the sound set: MTron Pro plays not only the original Mellotron soundset but sounds of two other classic instruments from that age, Birotron and Optigan. Enjoy the video here.

China pours the plugins


Kong Audio, specialist of China's people instruments has sampled a new one, suona. It is something between the woodwind and brass instruments, with a very unique, harsh sound. It came originally from Persia, and adapted in China during the Ming Dynasty. Kong sampled two suonas, a big and a smaller one, in 24/96 quality. The overall size of the package is 380 megabytes which contains several dynamic articulations to maximize the playability. The VSTi costs 68 USD, here.
