Nucleus SoundLab has released VS Resurrection, the second volume in the Nucleus SoundLab Resurrection sample line, based on the vector synthesis of the Prophet VS.
VS Resurrection includes all 94 classic waveforms from the VS – as well as 14 more complex, filtered and effected waveforms. Using these waves as a starting point, Nucleus SoundLab designers created patches ideally suited to Wusikstation’s strengths. The result is a eminently playable, rich – and very ’80s digital’ – sample library.
Features
- 600mb (32-bit format) of carefully sampled/looped VS waveforms
- 108 unique soundsets
- 300+ Wusikstation presets authored by a variety of talented Wusikstation designers – tasmodia, Daniel Kemp, Vera Kinter, and elv
- Each Wusikstation preset has the XY pad fully mapped to a variety of parameters – as a tribute to the original VSs vector synthesis
VS Resurrection is available for Wusikstation v3+ and Soundfont/SFZ and costs:
- 29.95 EUR for a single-format download
- 39.95 EUR for the multi-format* download
- 44.95 EUR for the multi-format* DVD (including international shipping)
* The multi-format includes the raw SoundFont/SFZ files exclusively.

FrettedSynth has released SoFtDrum, a VST plugin designed to use Soundfonts as its sample source.
Offering the ability to have as many velocity split samples as required within the MIDI velocity range of 0-127, multi sample drums can be packaged into a single file making loading of multi sample drums and maintaining a drum library very simple.
Features
- Offers 12 drum-pads, using Soundfonts per drum-pad as its sample source
- Allows as many velocity splits as required per drum-pad
- Includes 3 different versions: 1,6 and 16 voice polyphony per drum-pad
- SoFtDrum has 6 stereo outputs
- 2 groups are provided for more accurate emulation of the hihat and many other percussion instruments
- GUI by ArtVera
- includes 5 presets
- includes SoFtDrum Library containing 24 drum Soundfonts
Three versions are included in the SoFtDrum.exe package SoFtDrumUlt, SoFtDrumLt and SoFtDrum. The only difference between them is the way that polyphony works. Polyphony works a bit different in SoFtDrum compared to most drum plugins in that each pads polyphony works independent, meaning that the only way a pad can be cutoff because of reached polyphony is from itself. On the up side that means no crash cymbal will ever be cutoff by a tom roll On the downside it means that the full sixteen voice version of SoFtDrum can ask your CPU to play 192 voices at full polyphony
- SoFtDrumUlt – 1 voice polyphony per pad = 12 voice polyphony total
- SoFtDrumLt – 6 voice polyphony per pad = 72 voice polyphony total
- SoFtDrum – 16 voice polyphony per pad = 192 voice polyphony total
