Calf Studio Gear - Audio Plugin Pack

Version 0.0.15 has just been released. This release contains another set of improvements in existing plugins and the DSP and GUI libraries they are built on.The organ synthesizer is now equipped with a new, frequency modulation-based percussive ... [More] section, with editable modulation keytrack curve (DSSI and JACK host only). The new percussive section has a polyphonic mode as well as 3 "old" monophonic modes. New presets have been added. UI controls have been rearranged to fit in lower screen resolution.The rotary speaker plugin has been changed due to user feedback, the effect is much more subtle now and there is more control over the sound.GUI improvements include knob usability fixes and new controls (keyboard, curve editor). It is easier to find the middle point in bipolar knobs due to added few-pixel "dead zone". It is now also possible to make fine adjustment to parameter values by holding SHIFT key while adjusting a parameter with a knob.Also, a deadlock-on-close bug has been fixed in standalone JACK host version.

Calf version 0.0.14 has been released today. No major changes, just small fixes and minor improvements here and there.Stability is improved, Calf Organ and Monosynth should consume less memory and start faster. Knobs have been improved (including new ... [More] "endless" subtype). New preset handling makes upgrades easier. There are also 4 new built-in Monosynth presets.This is (hopefully) the last version with small incremental improvements only. The next version (to be released in October) will likely contain major updates and a new plugin, but it will not be released until September or October. (0 comments) [Less]

This release brings many new features developed over last 4 months - new JACK host and Phaser plugin, redesigned Organ plugin, experimental LV2 support and lots of other changes. It also removes a dependency on libphat.The new JACK host is capable of ... [More] adding more plugins to the running instance, and features a main dashboard window with VU meters and MIDI activity indicator (where applicable).The Phaser is a stereo effect based on series (up to 12) of 1st order allpass filters with global feedback.The Organ plugin has undergone a complete redesign, and is currently a complete synthesizer featuring 9 oscillators, independently routable to 2 linkable stereo 12dB/oct lowpass filters, that can be modulated by 3 ADSR envelopes. It also contains a global percussion section and global or per voice chorus/vibrato effect. Thanks to the variety of built in waveforms and wide range of per-drawbar settings, it can be used for typical tonewheel or solid-state organ sounds as well as strings ensemble or spacey choir-like pads.Due to the number of new features and improvements in this version, some bugs might have inevitably crept in. If you find any, please report them using the Tracker - it's probably the easiest way to get them fixed. (0 comments) [Less]

This version contains significant improvements and fixes for Monosynth, both the synth itself and the DSSI and JACK wrappers.Preset handling is improved, and provided are some "factory" presets for Monosynth.Have fun trying it out, and of course, please report any bugs you find. (0 comments)

The new version contains an "official" release of Monosynth (with several last-minute improvements like portamento and better envelope), as well as various bugfixes.Calf currently supports LADSPA (effects only), JACK (0.103.0 or newer) and DSSI. It ... [More] supports DSSI for effects as well, so the initial parameter values may be more reasonable.Happy testing! (0 comments) [Less]
