Vintage Synth Pads has announced Lush Life, a soundset for the Lush-101 software synthesizer by D16 Group.

Lush Life is a new set of 150+ presets and 60+ new timbers for Lush101. Over 210+ new sonic elements.

In this collection we focus on pads and emulations of classic hardware. This classic collection was inspired by and will remind you of: D50, Dx7, ObXa, Expander, Odyssey, CS80, Moog Modular.

We did our best to emulate some of the sounds and styles from these classics but in a modern way. Many presets are layers of multiple synths such as a D50 and CS80. Of course, there are more then just pads but that is the main focus.

Also included: Bass, Leads, Keys, Apegs, Fx.

The soundset will cost $34.95 USD. It is now available to pre-order at a 30% discount, use code 30now at checkout Lush Life will be available within 2 weeks (the discount will end upon release).

Tronsonic has announed the release of VCO, a sample library for Native Instruments Kontakt.

VCO features all of the waveforms from a 1972 minimoog with long natural cycles of up to 15 seconds before looping and also phase aligned at the start points of each sample. Like DCO, this was not sampled to tape. The aim was to achieve the closest possible replica of a classic hardware VCO synth within the DAW, so to keep the wave cycles in tact, only vintage tubes and a good convertor were used.
A custom made tape and tube impulse response (as used in Tronto and DCO) plus Kontakt 5′s tape saturation effect is used to bring in some richness and texture when needed.

VCO is designed as a free companion to Tronto and DCO, and uses the same interface (so sharing the same controls) – great for stacking in multis and controlling externally via midi cc.

VCO comes with over 100 presets, for the full version of Native Instruments Kontakt 5.0.3 or later.

VCO is available to owners of Tronto and DCO.

Moog Music has announced the release of the Grateful Dead Expansion Pack, which innovatively turns the Grateful Dead’s live performance at the Carousel Ballroom on Feb. 14, 1968 into a source of harmonic content exclusively for Animoog, Moog’s TEC-Award Nominated synthesizer for the iPad.

The pack features 82 Presets and 45 Timbres that were carefully extracted from the live recording, and then optimized for the Animoog’s Anisotropic Synthesis Engine.

Mike Adams, Moog Music President and CEO said, “Two very important legacies left by Bob Moog and his life’s work were the idea of looking at new technology and crafting new tools to enable musicians to make music in new and inspiring ways, and also the importance of collaborating with musicians to help shape those tools. This innovative integration of textures from the Grateful Dead’s live recordings into Animoog’s timbre library is a true manifestation of this legacy.”

The Grateful Dead Expansion Pack is available as a holiday gift to Animoog V2 users.
