Free Virtual Instruments

Dr.UMS Lite

Dr.UMS Lite virtual instrument is a free drums sound bank for Kontakt, by Prisma Sounds.

Dr.UMS Lite is the free little brother of Dr.UMS, a Kontakt sampled version of the Boss Dr. Rhythm DR-550. The DR-550 a stepping stone in the drum machine territory, delivering its 48-pieces kit sounds to the reach of the first home-producers. It featured an LCD to program patterns, choosing the sounds and adding basic effects.

Prisma Sounds Dr.UMS was made sampling each kit piece from the original DR-550 at 24-bit, whose accent control is mapped to velocity. It comprehends two instruments: one where the sounds are laid out according to the standard drum map, with the option to select kit pieces, or spread out the keyboard to provide complete layering freedom. Additionally, Dr.UMS offers the possibility to control the release of samples, the reverb settings and to add a Lofi effect. Dr.UMS Lite offers all the same functionalities as Dr.UMS in a more compact form, limited only by the amount of samples.

Features:

35 of the 48 kit pieces of the DR-550, sampled at 24-bits;

Includes 2 kicks (out of 5), 3 snares (out of 6) and 1 hi-hat (instead of 2);

Velocity control of Accents;

Release, Reverb Size, Reverb Wetness and Lofi effect.

Dr.UMS Lite is compatible with Kontakt 5.8.1 and above, and requires the full version of Kontakt.

Dominator

Dominator is a free software synthesizer developed by Computer Music. Available format(s): VST for Windows 64b.

Programmed from the ground up to CM’s own specifications, Dominator takes the venerable sound of classic analogue synths and beefs it up with modern routing, modulation and waveshaping options.

Features:

Triple Oscillators

Three oscillators per voice with a choice of six waveforms (Saw, Pulse, Sine, Triangle, Sync Saw, Sync Pulse).

Pulse width modulation per voice and coarse (4 octave range) and fine tuning adjustments.

Oscillator Control

Dedicated LFO to control vibrato depth and pulse width modulation.

Glide time setting and mod wheel vibrato depth control.

Analog control for adding fat analogue-style detuning.

Voice Control

Four voice modes (monophonic, polyphonic, unison and chord mode).

Unison with 2, 6 or 12 voices.

Chord mode with 5 user-definable intervals (plus root note) for building up complex chords to be triggered from a single key.

6 play modes for mono/unison/chord, for controlling when glide should be applied and when envelopes should be reset.

Smart mode for handling successive presses of the same key, or Reset mode, where all envelopes and oscillators are reset for each note, for a punchier sound.

Mixer

Independent levels for each oscillator.

Noise and ring modulation (between oscillators B and C) can also be mixed in.

An external input signal can be mixed in on the VST effect version (this is mixed into each voice).

Amplitude Envelope

Classic ADSR envelope with velocity sensitivity.

Optional ‘Warm’ VCA mode gives a non-linear analogue-style response.

FX

Chorus modeled on the classic Roland Juno chorus, with depth and rate controls.

Dual Filters

Two fat multimode Moog-style filters per voice, with 5 filter types (lowpass 12/24dB, bandpass 12/24dB and highpass 12dB).

Filters can be overdriven and can be made to self-oscillate, just like true analogue filters.

Keytrack, velocity and filter envelope can all be used to modulate the cutoff frequency.

Optional ‘Warm’ mode drives filter harder to add more oomph and body.

Filter Envelope

The classic ADSR envelope for modulating cutoff of the filters.

Waveshaping

Optional waveshaper per voice with five different modes and drive control (goes up to 11).

Transistor, diode, hard clip, sine and rectifier shaping modes.

Routing

Waveshaper and the two filters can be configured in five different arrangements, including serial and parallel configurations, for flexibility.

LFO

LFO with sine, triangle, square, positive-only square, sample and hold and noise shapes.

Can modulate amplitude, oscillator pitch B, oscillator pitch C, filter A and filter B.

Modulation Envelope

ADSR envelope to modulate filter B, pulse width modulation, vibrato depth, oscillator pitch B, oscillator pitch C and noise level.
