Classic FM sounds with a modern twist! TriplexClassic takes inspiration from famous digital synthesizers of the 80s and puts them in an easy-to-use, accessible interface.

It is equipped with 6 highly specialized macro controls that makes it easy to set up without any tedious programming. Features: - 3 operator FM synth engine with up to 8 voices - Macro controls over FM amount, harmonicity, phase and bit resolution (labeled "redux"), attack, combined decay/release and sustain - LFO with shape control (sine, triangle, ramp up, ramp down, square, random) and user-definable destination - Drive control KNOWN ISSUES: As of right now the standalone app does not support incoming Midi.

skippodisk is a free AUv3 plugin and standalone app. It features algorithm that imitates compact disc reading errors and adds feedback for some comb filtering. controls: * main control is a 2-dimensional slider that changes delay time / buffer size using value on X axis and feedback (positive and negative, -0.997 to 0.997) on Y axis. This control adds some creative comb-like effect. * algorithm settings: [ auto ] enables automatic cd skipping. [ dropout ] enables adding silence. Use both [auto] and [dropout] with zero feedback value (in the centre of touch control) to achieve the effect of a CD audio glitch * [ bypass ] control and volume control. This slider is in low value state by default.
