Malefica

Malefica free saturation | overdrive by Evil Sound Lab

Malefica is a free saturation and overdrive VST, Ladspa plugin developed by Evil Sound Lab. Compatible OS(s): Windows 64b, Linux.

Malefica is a virtual high-gain distortion guitar pedal based on original schematic.

Let us tell you how we created Malefica:

Malefica Formulae
First of all we have analyzed circuits of ton of guitar pedals to design the darkest, most evil and mystic tone with unique character that would fit a wide range of extreme music genres.
After that, we have made its physical model on the tip of the pen and prepared it with most precise and modern mathematical algorithms.
Finally, our designer has added magical artwork, and that is it! Witchery is alive.

Features:

  • common output level (alias “Evil” in the plug-in), tone (“Witch”), dist (“Mist”) and bypass controls;
  • 3 modes switch for the different sound colour;
  • 3 modes switch for the different clipping character;
  • additional tweak controls: pre-gain and focus frequency of tone control;
  • stereo/mono modes switch;
  • 8x oversampling switch for an extra high precision.

MaK – Mouse & Keyboard – Lite

MaK - Mouse & Keyboard - Lite free soundbank by Collected Transients

MaK – Mouse & Keyboard – Lite virtual instrument is a free keyboard sound bank for Kontakt, by Collected Transients.

MaK is a Kontakt instrument which replicates the sounds of a person using various computer keyboards, mice, or touchscreen devices. This allows you to very quickly perform the foley of using one of these devices via MIDI.

Lite Version Info:

  • Only 2 of 15 Devices enabled: Laptop Keyboard and Laptop Mouse
  • No other limitations

The description below details the full version of MaK:

MaK was created to speed up the time consuming process of editing and/or recording mice and keyboards. After realizing how often this came up in both my commercial and film work, I decided there had to be a better way.

Several recording sessions and Kontakt script headaches later, MaK was born.

There are 15 devices available in MaK: 5 Keyboards, 5 Mice, 2 Touchscreens, and 3 digital keyboards. Each of these devices has been meticulously recorded at a number of different velocities for a very realistic playback performance.

The majority of the devices have 5 velocity layers; from soft to hard. Each of these velocity layers have 32 different samples: 16 for the press sound, and 16 for the release sounds of each device. That’s 160 samples per device. MaK will randomly trigger press and release samples for each layer based on the velocity you play the notes. Easy to use controls allow you to adjust additional layers of randomness in both velocity and pitch. All of this adds up to realistic devices, and convincing performance.

major sketch pad

major sketch pad free chorder | step-sequencer by af Kreativt Darhus

major sketch pad is a free chorder and step sequencer VST plugin developed by af Kreativt Darhus. Compatible OS(s): Windows.

major sketch pad is ideal for musicians with writer’s block or knob twiddlers who easily get distracted by fine tuning soundscapes and ending up not getting any music done. No, this is not some pseudo-random-crap, you are in control of your music all the time when using the sketch pad. This is an arrangement utility rather than a music production tool.

major sketch pad is basically a step-sequencer combined with a chorder. Each time it gets triggered by a MIDI note the step-sequencer steps forward and each step can contain a new, different chord. The chords aren’t locked to a predefined pitch. This means that you can try out chord combinations and see how your melodies will sound with different chords applied to them, or just jam away.

The main idea behind the sketch pad is to make it easier for people who are having a hard time coming up with songs to at least get a “rough” arrangement sketch that they can continue to work with. It is, after all, often the beginning of a song that is the hard part to come up with.
