VST Preset Genreator or Escaping the Random Void

VST Preset Generator is pretty cool. Here is the description from the site:

“As described in the left side of this page, the VST Preset Generator (VPG) is a simple tool to create preset file for VST instrument and effects. [...]

Combinator Back Drops or More Virtual Inspiration

Willbe has a excellent set of back drops. Better than mine me thinks. It will be fun making instruments for them. Real hard ware inspired yet original in that it is not all music hardware. They also is a nice refill available.

Circuit-Bending Challenge or Mission Sort Of Possible

Sunday I participated in the Circuit-Bending Challenge form GetLoFi & CDM. I had other things to do so it was a bit hectic. I got out late and hit two thrift stores and pick up a little tikes keyboard and a fisher price tape player with a mic that played through a small [...]

Assorted Links or Various Stuff

Piracy Again

Other guess and estimate have been right around that number. If you have been interested in this whole deal you [...]

de la Mancha has added another plugin to a fine collection. It is Basic a VST synth inspired by the Commodore 64. If if like that SID chip sound or just get misty when it comes to the early days of personal computing you should give it a try.

Mellonman or This Is Not What Sony Had In Mind

Mellonman is freaking amazing. Most guys won’t even consider trying to build something like this. Using walkmen(what the hell is the correct plural form of “walkman”) was inspired and a little crazy. If someone turns something like this in for the circuit bending challenge I would be very suspicious.

The Amazing Randi & Golden Ears

I was on the Sonic Transfer site and saw a name I never though I would see on a music site. It was the name of one of my hero’s The Amazing Randi. He is most famous for is exposing Uri Gellar & Peter Popov as frauds & is million dollar [...]
