Modular Synth VCO is a virtual instrument meticulously crafted to replicate the distinctive sonic palette of the Doepfer A-110-1 module's four primary waveforms.
This digital marvel exudes an edgy and unconventional auditory character, setting it apart from the norm. Despite being digital, its waveforms are unstable, like analog oscillators.
Notably, the triangle and sine waveforms bear a delightful imperfection, endowing them with a unique charm.

Despite its apparent simplicity, the Modular Synth VCO offers a multitude of possibilities: crafting deep basses, crafting ethereal pads, forging thick leads, generating soft keys, and beyond.
While it excels particularly in producing lo-fi tones, its capabilities extend beyond this realm.

Pastoral Tones is a sample-based instrument inspired by the sound aesthetic of Boards Of Canada. The plugin includes 61 preset sounds to choose from including analog synthesizers, flutes, vintage brasses, strings, electric pianos, sound FXs, basses, and atmospheres.
The acoustic sounds have been sampled from public domain films produced between the 1950s and the 1970s. To thicken the sound, various sound modules have been added, including a sub-oscillator, vinyl, and film grain noise layers as well as field recordings sampled from public domain old films. Each preset sound is one sample stretched over 5 octaves.
Multi-samples have been avoided to increase loading speed, keep the plugin light on RAM, and obtain that old sampler vibe. As a result, Pastoral Tones runs well on older computers. Also, recordings of public domain films were preferred in order to get the most authentic retro sound possible, the kind of sounds you would hear on a Boards Of Canada album.
Features:
61 original sounds
Vinyl, film grain and field recordings sound layers with ASR, gain, and pan controls
Sub oscillator with ADSR, gain, and pan controls
Reverb/LFO
Royalty-free sound design

Drone Piano is a versatile VST/VST3/AU plugin instrument that brings the resonant tones of an upright acoustic piano to your fingertips. This unique sound was captured during the serene winter of 2015 at the University of Montreal.
Drone Piano offers three distinct variations of the same piano sound for a diverse sonic experience. The first variation features seamless drone loops crafted from the tail end of the piano samples for a continuous, ambient sound. The second variation is the looped piano, where the decaying sound is looped seamlessly, creating subtle and sustained tones. The third variation presents the original piano sound in its pure form, complete with its natural decay.

80s Soviet Drums features 9 drum machine drum kits from the Soviet Union. These machines were manufactured in the 1980s, and most of them are sample-based.
Since the sampling bit rate of these vintage beat boxes is very low, their sound is punchy and full of character!
A lot of work went into restoring and improving these sounds to make them usable for modern music production.
That being said, they are still lo-fi and crunchy, which makes them the perfect candidates to cut through any mixes. It is as if they reside in a frequency range of their own!
Two out of the nine kits are from analog drum machines. The rest are from PCM-based machines.
With 80s Soviet Drums, you can hear how the "Linn drums" of the Russians sounded!
