Sinevibes has announced the first batch of plugins for the NTS-1 mkII synthesizer and NTS-3 Kaoss Pad from KORG.

Three effects are available initially – Blend v2 multi-voice chorus, Dipole v2 through-zero flanger and Whirl v2 barber-pole phaser – and more are already on the way. These upgrades are free for customers who bought these plugin products for KORG’s older devices.

KORG’s NTS-1 mkII synthesizer and NTS-3 kaoss pad released this year feature an all-new plugin platform, with a new plugin format, extended parameter interface, and of course much more powerful hardware. The Sinevibes team is very happy to embrace these new possibilities and we’re working on bringing all of our previously released KORG plugins to this new secondgeneration platform.

Thanks to the new possibilities of this second-generation platform, Sinevibes was able to open up new parameters for you to adjust, and with some products also make the DSP algorithms more complex than before.

Blend v2 and Dipole v2 are identical to the plugins on the first-generation platform, but they add new dry/wet mix and modulation stereo width parameters. Whirl v2 is a bigger upgrade: in addition to the new dry/wet mix and stereo width parameters, it features independent stereo processing and a dual-stage Bode phaser design, creating a much more pronounced spectral morphing effect at higher feedback values.

Blend v2, Dipole v2 and Whirl v2 are immediately available for $19 USD each, and the packages include plugins in 5 different formats at the same time. The Sinevibes license allows the KORG plugins to be installed on any number of compatible devices that the user owns. Customers who bought these KORG effect plugins before can download the upgrades at no cost.
