Sinevibes has released version 1.1.0 of Frequency, a hybrid synthesizer plugin for Mac.
At it’s core is a synthesizer which can produce an incredible variety of tones and textures. It pairs a dual, multi-waveform oscillator with our highly-acclaimed waveshape transformer, and modulates it’s parameters from the input signal’s envelope. Combined with a flexible pitch sequencer, Frequency lets you turn rhythmic sound sources into expressive, catchy synth and bass lines, dynamic drones, wobbling sounds, as well as glitch loops and oldschool game effects. This unique plugin will make you completely rethink the definition of «synthesizer».
Changes in Frequency v1.1.0
- Completely redesigned user interface with enhanced controls.
- Increased note sequencer length to 32 steps.
- New triangle, saw and square oscillator waveforms.
- Oscillator balance modulation by envelope follower.
- More prominent sound of the waveshaper.
- Increased XY pad control depth of the waveshaper model #3.
- New preset patches.
Frequency for Mac (AU) is available as a download for $49 USD. The update is free for all existing users.

Changes in Turbo v1.2.0
- Vastly redesigned user interface with enhanced controls.
- Input low-pass filter is now used to eliminate excessive harshness in the higher frequencies.
- The original harmonics are now being toned down compared to the waveshaper harmonics, making the overall effect more prominent.
- Increased the XY pad control depth of the waveshape model #3.
- To avoid control interference, parameter adjustment with mouse dragging now only works for last clicked control or control group.
- Screenshot saving functionality (Control+Option+Command+click).

WaveShaper has announced the release of three new electronic drumkits.
New WaveShaper kits
- Moscow Disco &nasdh; Built like a tank with a funky design, you will be surprised by the raw sound of the ultra-rare Marsh UDS russian drum synth. The kick drum is huge, the snares and hats are sooo analogue, and this unit is also perfect for all kind of depitched toms and retro sci-fi FX. This WaveShaper kit will bring you back into eighties goodness, but with its thick, blurby, retromodernistic sound, you will also enjoy it on your electro, idm, minimal or space disco tracks.
- 12Bit Drummer &nasdh; This kit is made by recording an acoustic drum with an Akai S20 12bit sampler. Some processing where then made in order to keep the sound natural while bringing out the gritty nature of this cheap sampling device. The sound is gritty but not lofi, with a solid low end, sharp transients and warm presence for the snares and hi-hats.
- Aluminium / White Metal – Aluminum and White Metal are two variations of some percussive sounds I made using a Waldorf Blofeld and a Sherman FilterBank. The sounds are very synthetic, with boomy low end and fast attacks, and despite being quite similar , you will quickly hear that one is dirtier, more overdriven than the other, thanks to the analogue rawness of the Sherman Filterbank.
The WaveShaper sample packs are available in three flavours: “free”, “selection” (starting at $0.90 USD), and “full pro” ($2.90 USD).

WaveShaper has released Plasticid Dr-110 and TubeSt8tion kit, two new electronic drum machine sample packs.
The Boss DR-110 is a cute little drum machine from the early 80s, the last analogue one made by Roland.
The overall sound is very reminiscent to the much praised Tr-808 and Tr-606. The kick is punchier than the 606, but the hats and cymbals will provide you that instant acid factor and the snare is also very snappy. The clap is similar to the 808′s one, so you’re right by thinking that the DR-110 will give you that classic, sought-after sound but with some slight difference and much character.
If you are into electro/house/acid/retro/techno music, you will like this one for sure !
The Plasticid Dr-110 sample pack is available in two versions:
- Free: mono, 16bit/44.1khz audio samples.
- Pay-what-you-want: stereo, 24bit/48khz audio samples.
The TubeSt8tion kit is a free samplepack (24bit/48khz, stereo Wav files) made using a Novation DrumStation processed through tube preamp and tube compressor gear.
The well-known and beloved sound of the famous tr-808 now has even more warmth, dirt and punch.
