Homegrown Sounds has released Modulator, a free modulation effect plug-in for Windows.

Modulator does what it says on the tin, it uses an LFO which can then be used to create many modulation style effects such as Flangers, Phasers, Ring Modulators etc… The LFO can also be swapped for an Envelope follower which will use the incoming sound level as the modulation source in various ways.

Modulator features

• Available effects include Flanger, Phasers, Low/Band/Hi Pass Filters, Frequency Modulation, Pitch Shift, Chorus, Ring Modulation, Gapper, Autopan, Low Shelf, Hi Shelf, Notch, Peak, Decimator, and Modulation Delays.
• Feedback Intensity.
• LFO Depth.
• LFO Offset.
• Huge choice of Waveforms/Envelopes, also including 150 custom Waves with Smooth Control.
• BPM Synced or Freeform Tempo.
• Randomizers.
• All effects have Autopan ability.
• Use Midi Pitch Bend, Aftertouch, and Mod Wheel to affect parameters.
• Midi Note On Re-triggers the LFO.

Modulator is available as freeware for Windows (VST).

Homegrown Sounds has also updated its ARP arpeggiator plugin.

Changes in ARP v1.53

• Hold Mode – Now when hold mode is active, if a note is triggered it will stick, but if it is triggered again it will be released.
• Fixed a bug where some people where having issues with ARP loading in some hosts.
• Fixed an issue with the clocks in certain hosts. [V1.52]

Manx Destiny

Destiny features

• Duophonic and monophonic modes.
• PWM for both oscillators.
• Oscillator Sync.
• 2 LFOs, Sample & Hold, Ring Modulation.

Destiny for Windows (VST) is available to purchase for $59 USD.

Homegrown Sounds has updated its ARP MIDI arpeggiator and note sequencer for Windows.

ARP is an advanced Polyphonic Arp and Note Sequencer with Scale Remapping for powerful sequencing possibilities. Sequences can be re-mapped based on the played note so for example a sequence can be forced to fit to the major scale. The idea behind this is to break away from the typical note sequencer where every key simply transposes the sequence, the ability to remap each note results in a much more creative sequence.

Changes in ARP v1.4

• 3 x CC Modulation Sequencers – For controlling any CC numbers of the target device, with independent tempo and step size, Mid Point and Amount knobs.
• Dedicated Velocity Sequencer – For setting the velocity of each note in the sequence, the tempo and step size are locked to the main sequencer.
• Swing/Pulse Length localised – Swing will now work at any tempo, the odd notes will always have swing applied so now there’s need to use the Master Tempo for this purpose. Pulse Length is now more controllable and a fixed percentage of the the beat length. Note that all of this is newly coded and whilst I’ve tried to follow the original settings, there may be slight discrepancies especially with swing and so some adjustment to patches that use swing may be necessary.
• Channel 16 Pitch Shift – If midi data is received on channel 16 it will be used to re-pitch the main Sequencer. Anything above middle C will increase the pitch and below will decrease.
• Knob Resolution – The scope of the knob has been speeded up so there is less travel distance. Holding Shift or CTRL still allow fine adjustments.
• Bug Fix – Pitch Bend, Aftertouch and Modulation Wheel now pass through correctly.
• Bug Fix – Problem in FL Studio where the timing was erratic for some users.

ARP for Windows (VST) is available to purchase for $35 USD.

Homegrown Sounds has updated ARP, an advanced MIDI arpeggiator and note sequencer for Windows.

1.3 fixes a few bugs as well as adding 2 new rows to the sequencer. The first is Octave(Octavator) which on a very basic level will add an octave to the selected step. BUt there are also many modes to choose from on how this will function, which can also involve cycling through octvaves each time a step is active.

The Second major addition is a Volume row which allows using a second Volume for Velocity instead of the Fixed Velocity/Velocity. The amount is selected via a Vol Amount knob, it can be very useful if the target instrument has cutoff mapped to velocity.

Changes in ARP v1.3

• All Notes Off on Stop – Although some hosts do this automatically, the plugin will do it too which is handy for slow tempos especially if ties are used and prevents waiting for long notes to finish playing.
• Octavator row added – This row will force the step to follow the Octavator Mode, the following modes are available:
• Off – useful for temporarily disabling the octavator without having to switch off all the steps.
• +1, +2, +3, +4 – Will play an octave above on each step that is selected.
• -1, -2, -3, -4 – Will play an octave above on each step that is selected.
• Cycle +1, Cycle +2, Cycle +3, Cycle +4 – These cycle modes will be triggered when a selected step is reached. The cycle will go from root note (unchanged) then +1, +2 until the max is reached, and then begin again. Because the octave step is advanced only when an octavator step is played, it can lead to very complex, interesting and long cycles, especially if polyphonic.
• Cycle -1, Cycle -2, Cycle -3, Cycle -4 – These are the same as above but cycle through lower octaves instead.
• Cycle +-1, Cycle +-2 – As above but they will go from root note to + octaves, then -octaves.
• Vol row added – These allow using the secondary ‘Vol Amount’ knob as the volume level for the step as opposed to played volume or fixed volume. Very nice if velocity is linked to cutoff frequency in the target synth.
• There was a bug with the sliders, the upper eleventh note would come out as 12.
• There was a bug with the 32nd note when 32 steps were used, the value would be incorrect.

ARP for Windows (VST) is available to purchase for $35 USD.

Tom Pritchard Sound Design has released Arps Volume One and FatBank, two ReFills for Reason.

Arps Volume One for Propellerhead Reason version 5 and above features 100 stunning Combinator patches that use the RPG-8 arpeggiator and Thor synthesiser to create beautiful and unique sounds that add movement and depth to your music. Each patch has been meticulously refined and tweaked to inspire, with Combinator encoders mapped to genuinely useful functions to help you find a sound that sits perfectly in your mix . Each patch enables you to deactivate the Arp and Sequencer so you can even use them as a set of 100 new mono and poly synths to play your own sequences.

Tom Pritchard Sound Design presents FatBank – 50 chunky Combinator patches for Reason versions 5 and above, with 12 round basses, 30 sequence synths (including throbbing bass sequences, rich chords and pulsating riffs) and 8 soaring leads! Big things come in small packages; this handy booster ReFill packs a massive punch with seriously deep bass and soaring tones that can cut through any mix. Each sequence patch also enables you to disable the sequencer, giving you 30 mono and polysynth patches if you’d prefer to use your own sequences.

Arps Volume One is available to purchase for £10 GBP, FatBank is £5 GBP.
