WBF R2Y 1

WBF R2Y 1 virtual instrument is a free sound bank for Reason and Refill, by Bitley Sounds & ReFills.

{See video at top of page}

A wonderful and small player’s piano refill focusing on the Propellerhead PX7 module. By designing the combinator with several PX7 units this refill is inspired by the Yamaha TX-816 from the 80’s, a monster synth rack that could hold up to 8 “TF1” modules, each module representing a complete DX7. This refill works for everyone, so WBF R2 is not necessary but a few extra patches (names beginning with WBF R2) are there as well. This refill is completely free, so if you have the PX7, enjoy.

WaveCymbal

WaveCymbal is a free software synthesizer developed by Uhhyou. Available format(s): VST3 for Windows 64b, macOS, Linux.

Note: Currently Linux build doesn’t display GUI due to some problem related to VSTGUI. For Linux, LV2 version is available at https://github.com/ryukau/LV2Plugins.

Note: I don’t have mac so macOS build is not tested. If you find bug, please report it to https://github.com/ryukau/VSTPlugins.

WaveCymbal is an attempt to make cymbal sound with banded wave-guide model. The result is more like dragging bunch of empty cans or thin metal plate on asphalt rather than cymbal.

Output may be very loud. It is recommended to always insert limiter after WaveCymbal:

Can be used as both synth/FX.

Monophonic. One instance represents one physical object.

JavaScript version is available. Requires browser that supports Web Worker and Web Audio.
