Kruud is a synthesizer with a drawable low resolution Oscillator. The main Osc has 5 basic waveforms, Pink and white Noise and a drawable user waveform. The waveforms have different modes like Phase Mod, PWM (Square only) and a special morph mode (listed as PWM in the synth) for all but the square wave. The user waveform can mix or morph between two waveforms or do PWM on waveform A.
Features:
- 1 LFO/SUB OSC.
- 2 LFOS.
- 3 ADSRS.
- 2 Delays of which one can be used to make crude physical modelling.
- An Arpeggiator.
- A multimode filter.

Krush is a bitcrusher for Mac OS X and Windows, available in Audio Unit, VST and AAX formats.
With its bit crushing and downsampling algorithms, Krush is designed to combine the crispy taste of the digital realm with the warmth of its drive stage and analog modeled resonant filters.
A modulation section allows a user to modulate any parameter. The sound palette produced by Krush is intended to range from dirty digital effects to crunchy modulated colors, with all bit-crushing effects in between.
Key Features
Main Controls
. Crunchy drive stage
. Bit depth reduction
. Sample rate reduction
. Analog modeled resonant filters (low-pass and high-pass).Modulation Section
. Free or tempo-synced modulation speed
. 4 modulation waveforms
. Modulation depth for every parameter.Interface
. Fully resizable interface !
. Clean and intuitive
. Tooltips and preferences in english, french, portuguese or spanish.Presets
. File based preset system
. Access through menu or browser
. Presets ‘freezer’ for safe recall
. Copy/paste current state using the system clipboard.https://www.tritik.com
A few free VST effects (and possibly instruments), only time will tell. Some maybe alpha or beta quality, as early feedback is important. Any long term stability in design will be signified by a 64-bit release. Windows is the development platform.
Seven plugins are working and have been tested in ACID Music Studio 10. They are varied in what they do, and they are not “regular” in the sense of obvious studio tools. My favourite is Lootie the wave folder.

The Krolar SX-2 was inspired by the 1978/9 hardware Roland synth, the SH-2.
Features:
- OSC1: sine/saw/pulse.
- OSC2: saw/pulse/noise.
- SubOsc: square (-1 oct below the settings of OSC1).
- Modulator (LFO): sine/square/S&H with rate and delay.
- AutoBend: begins below/above (-2/+2 octaves) key pressed and slides to that pitch.
- PWM: LFO/MAn/Env – the slider adjusts the pulse width or the amount of LFO/Env modulation (the LFO for PWM is a smooth sine with no delay).
- Pitch Mod: controls amount of pitch modulation by the LFO.
- Tuning: OSC2 has its own tuning section, Wide and Narrow (+/-1750 cents or +/-200 cents).
- The SH-2 was monophonic, Krolar SX-2 has a small red button (top right) that allows you to switch from monophonic (low note priority) to polyphonic (6 voices).
- The other features are self explanatory.
