The Ultrafrequenzazizer

The Ultrafrequenzazizer free soundbank by Rattly & Raw

The Ultrafrequenzazizer virtual instrument is a free sound bank for Kontakt, by Rattly & Raw.

The Ultrafrequenzazizer

How much music in the last millennia has been made within the limited constraints of 20hz to 20kHz?

Now Rattly and Raw present an instrument which goes above and beyond this. Literally…

20kHz and above. This is a first for a Kontakt instrument – Why have sound when you can have Ultrasound?

“I am literally using this sample instrument on every channel on every session, my music has never sounded clearer and cleaner, I’ve got the Ultrasound – have you?” – non-Grammy award winning Engineer, Producer – Walter Vespertilio-Auris.

The Anvil

The Anvil free amp-simulator by Ignite Amps

The Anvil is a free amp simulator VST, VST3, Audio Unit plugin developed by Ignite Amps. Compatible OS(s): Windows 64b, macOS.

The Anvil is a digital emulation of a three channels tube preamplifier for guitar. It has been developed to accurately model its real hardware counterpart, designed by Andy Zeugs.

The Anvil has three completely independent channels, with different signal paths and separate tonestack controls, to maximize its versatility:

  1. The Clean channel is inspired by the classic Californian circuits and provides crystal clear tones even at high gain settings.
  2. The Rhythm channel has a hot-rodded British character, varying from mild crunch to hi-gain distortion.
  3. The Lead channel provides super-tight metal tones, retaining accuracy and responsiveness even at very high gain settings.

Every single component in the signal path of the real analog circuit has been taken into account and modeled in the best possible way to match the original sound, keeping an eye on CPU performance and real-time playability at the same time.

The Anvil is meant to be used as a guitar preamplifier for live playing and jamming, tracking or mixing inside hosts capable of VST, VST3 or AU plug-ins support.

Main Features:

  • Ignite Amps 3rd generation triode modeling engine.
  • Three channels: clean, rhythm and lead, each with fully separated controls.
  • Mono / Stereo processing support.
  • Selectable oversampling rate (up to 8x).
  • Global input / output level controls.
  • Double precision (64-bit) floating point mathematical model.
  • Fully automatable controls.
  • Ignite Amps proprietary preset management system with bank file import/export functions.
