V-STACK is the next step in the ever-expanding world of Steinberg's VST technology. The latest addition to Steinberg's Windows VST product family is an extension rack for VST System Link, that lets you add up to 16 VST Instruments into your VST System Link network, without needing to add another sequencer.
When used in stand-alone mode, V-STACK can also turn your PC into a live virtual instrument station. Because V-STACK supports VST, VST 2.0 and Direct X plug-ins, you can load up to 16 VST instruments in V-STACK, add high-quality effects and then play them live.
All this in the same pristine 32 Bit floating point audio quality users of Cubase SX/SL and Nuendo have become accustomed to.
* Mixer with up to 200 more channels * plus 4 group channels.
* 8 send effects, 5 insert effects per audio channel, 4 master effects.
* Real-time support for VST, VST2 and DirectX plug-ins.
* Supports up to 16 VST Instruments.
* VST System Link support.
What started as a bedroom project in early 2003 - for the sole purpose to get ASIO support for the AC97 on my laptop - has become ASIO4ALL - the universal ASIO driver for WDM audio.
Honestly, I did not expect this project to become as popular as it has become (but this popularity does not particularly dissapoint me either ;-)
ASIO4ALL is a hardware independent low latency ASIO driver for WDM audio devices. It uses WDM Kernel-Streaming and sometimes even more sophisticated methods to achieve its objectives.
In order to successfully run ASIO4ALL, you need:
A WDM-compatible operating system, such as Win98SE/ME/2k/XP.
A WDM-driver for your audio hardware. (Under Win2k/XP this is implicit, not so under Win98SE/WinME.)
A couple minutes of your time and a little bit of luck.
What ASIO4ALL will NOT do:
Replace your existing sound card drivers or mess with them in any way.
Install any kernel mode components that could potentially affect the stability of your system.
"Overclock", or otherwise operate your audio hardware in ways that could potentially be harmful and/or void your warranty, except, of course, in cases where the manufacturer of your hardware has specifically stated that the use of ASIO4ALL would void your warranty indeed.

Are you a DJ? This VST synthesizer is for you! It helps you to create the very
important part of every song - bass section. Bazzoid has three wave oscillators
with non-common flexible approach to modify it, the low-pass filter controlled
by LFO and the envelope keyline, chorus and distortion effect. This tool allows
you to create classical TS-like sounds for your "trans" mix or just common
basic basses. Forget about huge samples! The oscillators are not common "sine",
"saw" or "triangle" - it have four parameters that allow to get a large number
of intermediate states of basic waves and the great range of different sounds.
Basically this plug-in is intended for basses, but it could be used even as a
leading instrument of your song, or as a background electronic synthesizer.
* Four oscillators, each can use 14 different built in waves or 8 user drawable waves. Each oscillator has pulse width modulation, syncing and ring modulation. Complex FM routing where any oscillator or filter can be the modulation source.
* Two 12/24 multimode filters including ring mod & comb. Each filter has a waveshaper and the volume of the filter can be altered by the note played so you can have dual timbre presets, one sound for lower notes and another for upper notes.
* Parameters controllable using twenty stage vari-slope envelopes with definable sustain and release points and by one of five LFO.
* Works in poly, mono, legato and arpeggiator modes.
* Distorter, chorus and cross delay effects.
* All the parameters controllable by midi with a midi learn function.
* 160 presets and a full manual included.
MicroDicer is an easy to use, flexible beat-slicing VST plug-in for Windows. It can use both WAV and REX 1 & 2 files, and it allows dragging and dropping of both slices & MIDI, in to and out of the plug-in.
Features:
* Supports 16/24 bit mono & stereo WAV and REX 1 & 2 format samples. You can drag and drop these files from other applications or alternatively you can use the file loading system, where you can preview them before you load them in (for REX files these can be played back in sync with the host tempo).
* You can splits samples into as may 128 different slices, samples can be sliced using automatic beat detection, into equal parts or at a set number of beats.
* Automatic splitting of slices and mapping of these to notes when you load in a sample.
* Each MIDI note can trigger any slice, with each triggered slice having its own pitch, volume, panning, choke group, output channel and playback mode.
* One to four output channels.
* Drag and drop of MIDI slice file into your host, this MIDI file can be altered so it is a set number of bars long or at a set tempo.
* Ability to save each slice as separate waves or selected slices as one file, also you can drag and drop selected slices to other programs.
* Three playback keys, loop, rnd and sequence, where all the slices can be played in order by pressing a key, this playback is autosynced to the host's tempo.
* Very low CPU usage, and 8 preset slots.
* MicroDicer graphics were designed by E-Phonic, and is fully skinnable, several skins are supplied.
* Full manual included in PDF format.

Cosmo 201 is an emulation of the much loved Casio CZ-1000 from "the good old 1980's when things were so uncomplicated" (sorry ELO). Unfortunately most of the CZs have gone loopy by now and had to be upended into a dumpster. And for those of us who took the time to get to know our CZs, that still counts as one of the saddest days of our lives.
Well here's the next best thing: Cosmo 201 VSTi - guaranteed not to lose it's patches if not turned on for a week (not really but you get me, right?). Ok it's not 100% accurate because of the ADSR envelopes instead of the 8-stage ones the Casio had but the idea here was to re-create the sound of the lost classic and by all feedback I have done just that. Other differences are the addition of an analog filter + overdrive and crude FM from the LFO; but don't worry they don't get in the way if you don't want them.
Famous users of Casio CZ synths (CZ-101, CZ-1000, CZ-3000, CZ-5000 & CZ-1): Vince Clarke, Paul McCartney, Chris & Cosey, Salt 'N' Peppa, Boxcar, House artists who didn't want to admit it was where they got their 'organ' and of course yours truly!
Cosmo 201 comes as part of the SynthStudio Pack. Included is the default sound bank + a user's manual. Users may submit patch banks for inclusion on this page (at right).
ASC MonoLine is a monophonic stereo subtractive synthesizer featuring lots of modulatable parameters and a double-filter. It is capable of producing everything from basslines and 303 sounds to weird rhythmic patterns, sweeps and percussion.
Features:
* Up to 4 note polyphonic.
* 7 waveforms: sine, saw, ramp, triangle, pulse, white noise & pink noise.
* Flexible BPM syncable LFO with 7 bipolar destinations at all times.
* Two 12dB filters available through 2 different modes: Serial and parallel.
* Four filter types (for both filters): low pass, band pass, band reject & high pass.
* Full ADSR envelope, also user definable bipolar routing to the filter.
* Distortion and saturation, velocity sensitivity and glide (portamento).
* HarpTime features a sophisticated sympathetic resonance among a set of 12 individual physically-modeled strings.
* In the 'Pro' model, each string is simulated with its own timbre and pluck position parameters, for a more realistic acoustic emulation.
* The strings can be tuned individually, which allows the use of microtuned intonations and scales.
* The maximum polyphony is 12 simultaneous voices for the 'Pro' model and 8 voices for the 'Fun' model.
Bray Pins:
* Another unique feature of this synthesizer is its modeling of the effects of a harp's Bray Pins (which hold a string to the body of the harp) There are ten different different attack and decay behaviors modeled, by means of a "Shaping" control, some of which model the classic buzzing tone of mediaeval harps.
Performance Features:
* A unique "SelfBend" feature is implemented to emulate the pitch envelope typical of loose strings.
* Adjustable smoothed Pitch Modulation, controlled by an LFO.
* The playing style (from soft to hard plucking) can be affected by a "Pick" control which allows variation in the touch of the player.
* Velocity Sensitivity is adjustable.
* A "Damp" switch allows the sustain of HarpTime's strings to be set on HarpTime's control panel; this control behaves similarly to the Release stage of an amplitude envelope on a more typical synthesizer.
* The master tuning frequency of the synthesizer can also be adjusted.
* The ModWheel can be used to 'strum' octaves, in a Glissandi effect. Only the white notes are played.
Effects:
* A double "Low Pass/Band Pass" filter, which allows a great deal of control over the timbre of the sound. This means, for example, that electric harp timbres are possible.
* The internal stereo Chorus adds more depth and timbral variation to the sound.
Controls
String Controls:
The following controls are implemented as a single set in the Fun version, or one separate set per string in the Pro version of HarpTime.
* Exciter: (per string) Controls the maximum energy sent to the string.
* Tuning: (per string) Retunes the string range -100 to +100 cents of semitone.
* PikPosi: (per string) Controls the effective pluck position on the string, changing the harmonics of the sound.
* PikBrig: (per string) NoiseFilter Frequency Control affects brightness of picking.
HurdyGurdy is a sample based instrument designed to closely reproduce not only the sound but also the true behaviour of the original instrument. With its detailed control options it allows you to play ethnic, traditional and historic styles and ornaments spontaneously and with ease.
Features:
* Four voices (chanter, drone1, drone2, trompette).
* The integrated StringVerb audio effect models a cluster of six sympathetic strings. StringVerb is also included as a separate VST effect.
True drone instrument behavior:
* Chanter and drones will sound continuously as long as the instrument is playing.
* The trompette buzz action is controllable through keyboard range, pitch wheel or continuous MIDI controller.
* The volume of the chanter string attack noise is velocity sensitive and can be adjusted through a panel control.
* The trompet action will raise the overall pitch and volume of the instrument to model the effect of the wheel acceleration.
* Pitchbend can be applied on the chanter string only to simulate the bending of the chanter string as applied through the tangent keys.
StringVerb:
* Six voices (sympathetic string resonators).
* The resonator string material can be set anywhere between a damp gut/nylon like sound and a brilliant metallic tone.
* A special width control spreads the resonators in the stereo field.
* The Stringverb offers advanced pitch controls to facilitate the usage of ethnic, historic or experimental tunings.
Sympathizer is based on a tunable comb filter bank.
Sympathizer's sonic scope spans from the mere recreation of a sympathetic string cluster to the pellicular sounds of sparkling overtone cascades and textures. The Sympathizer can be used for creating tuned reverbs or drone pad sounds that are hard to achieve through other means.
Features:
* Twenty one freely tunable string resonators, grouped into three comb filter banks.
* String material, string decay, stereo width, output volume and panorama settings can be adjusted separately for each bank.
* Faders can be grouped to quickly change settings globally or ganged in reverse to make adjustments to a single bank while still preserving the overall balance of the preset.
* Resonator pitch can be set as MIDI note number, as note name or as frequency.
* Pitch changes can be applied to a single resonator, to selected banks or globally to allow quick and convenient retuning of the effect.
* Damper and output volume are controllable through various MIDI sources.

Nostalgia is a Sound Library plugin based on Native Instruments' Kompakt, featuring over 1.3 gigabytes of sounds and more than 1,300 patches from four decades of electronic instruments.
Programming wizard and all-round synth enthusiast Steve Howell has used his 30+ years of experience and knowledge of these various instruments to create accurate representations of some of the world's greatest synths, keyboards and beat boxes that he has either owned or used in a professional capacity as either a sound designer, sound engineer, player or composer in one way or another. Steve has also used his 16+ years of developing professional sample sound libraries to provide highly optimized and memory-efficient, seamlessly looped samples of a heritage of instruments that have paved the way for where we are today - over 40 years of innovation and (often naive) pioneering spirit encapsulated in one definitive collection of abject "Nostalgia".
Nostalgia includes old-skool lo-fi beatboxes, huge Gothic Tron sounds, smooth Prophet pads and strings, beefy Moog basses or leads, classic electric pianos, swirly string synths, cheezy toys, classic samplers, brittle digital synths, evolving S+S textures, etc.
The Instruments list groups the sounds into these categories:
