Plogue Chipsounds

Hi, it's been awhile since the last update on this blog, I have now uploaded 2 free skins for the Plogue Chipsound Synthesizer. Actually it's one skin with two different colors and they are based on the layout from the default skin.
These skins were created for the 1.5 version of Chipsounds, the plugin has been updated to 1.501 but the skins should work ok.

To install just copy the new skins folder to the Chipsounds directory, then rename the folder to GUI (make a backup/rename the original GUI folder first). Next time you start the plugin the new skin should be in use.

Download here:
Capsule 1.0
Capsule Beige 1.0

Tactilesounds - Substance

Substance is a newly released freeware/donationware VA synthesizer available in Windows vsti format.
The GUI, which I lend a helping hand with is following the same look and feel as Tactilesounds previous plugin the TS-808.
If you visit the Substance website (linked above) you will find many sounddemos to listen to and some extra soundpatches aswell, but ofcourse you should download the synth and try it out for yourself.

Supersynths - Supercore (not available)

A few months ago I created a skin for the Supercore plugin made by Supersynths.
Due to some circumstances this skin has never been implemented and the Supercore skin project never took off.
I post this here as I thought it would be nice to have the gui here aswell, as some sort of portfolio.

The screenshots are below and note that these gui's are not available to use.

More Ctrlr's

On a request I've created 2 more GUI's for the Ctrlr.org project.
This time it's the Novation Drumstation and the Novation Super Bass Station units.
You must have access to the hardware units if you want to use these plugins, the plugins can be downloaded at Ctrlr.org download area.

These plugins are no longer supported since the Ctrlr project was updated to version 5.

rgc:audio z3ta+

Cakewalk have a blowout sale this month on the classic z3ta+ synthesizer, programmed by rgc:audio.
I among many others could not withstand the temptation to buy this great synth, however I found the original skin too bright. I wanted something darker and decided to make one for myself instead of using the already existing ones.
As always I'll also make it free for anyone who wants to use it.

You can download the skin (called ModernRetro) below:
Limeflavour_ModernRetro(1.02)_for_z3ta.zip

Arguru Voyager - Easier installer

Asseca has made an .exe installer for our Voyager skin, this should make the installation really simple for anyone.

Download new installer here: Voyager installer

Installation

If you DON'T have any other mGUI plugins installed:
Run the Voyager-lf.exe installer program to copy the folders+files into the VstPlugins folder.
--- OR ---

If you DO have any other mGUI plugins installed OR you DON'T want the skin-files in the VstPlugins folder:
Run the Voyager-lf.exe installer program to copy the folders+files to the asData folder.

Run asData\mGUIman.exe or asData\setVSTmGUIpaths.exe to automatically set the asData path in the registry.
----------

Then copy/move the Arguru's Voyager.dll into the \asData\plugins folder.
The voyager.dll file can be downloaded at: The Aodix website

Then you should also download this >update< of the voyager_gui.dll file,
unrar it and overwrite the old voyager_gui.dll file.
--------

If it for some reason still won't work properly the solution can be to move the "asdata" folder out of you "vstplugins" folder so that the host does not scan those files.

The preset banks are not included in this installer but can be downloaded here: Voyager preset banks

If you prefer the not to use an exe installer the old files are still available here: Original Voyager post

Samplelord

By a request I have created a new free skin for the Samplelord sampler plugin.
You can download the skin here: Limeflavour_Samplelord.zip

Tactile Sounds TS-808 1.0.0.2

The new 2.0 version of the freeware TR-808 emulator from Tactile Sounds has just been released.

Alot of new functions has been added aswell as a brand new gui, created by me and with ideas and suggestions from Sinkmusic.
Also a big thank you to Jonathan who was willing to implement the new gui.

Oatmeal skin updated to r7

Just a small notice that the Lumina skin is updated to r7.
New in this version it that all knobs with both positive and negative values has been made bipolar. Another new 'feature' is that the replacement knobs from r6 is removed instead there's 2 skins in the .zipfile and the knob modification is already done. That means that the download size is twice as big but yet very small.

Download here

Oatmeal skin updated to r6

In this new update of my Oatmeal skin I have changed the knobs so that they have indicator rings to show their state.

Remember to use only the 38-1 or newer version of Oatmeal for compability reasons.

Download the r6 version of the skin -here-

Installation:
Unzip the zipfile to 'Oatmeal\oatmeal skins' folder.
There should be a file called 'lf_lumina.oms' and a folder called 'lf_lumina' that contains all the images.
Load the skin by clicking on the skin button on Oatmeals gui.

New Screenshot with the new knobs:

LoganA - Virtual Analog Synthesizer

LoganA is a free VA-synthesizer accompanied by the LoganA FX module.
These vst's are created by SAR VST.

Both gui's are created by me, although they are assembled in SynthEdit by the plugin author.

Download LoganA and LoganA FX

More Skins for Poise!

I had an unfinished skin lying around on my harddrive so I finished it.
As I was wrapping up the existing skin I also made 6 quick variations of it.
Because of the amount of skins it's a pretty hefty download weighing in at 10 megabytes, shouldn't be a problem with todays broadband standard but if it is a problem don't hesitate to contact me about it.

For these skins to function properly you need atleast to use Poise version 1.019 (or higher)

Download here: Poise skinpack
My personal favourites are LumberJack and RisenAngel ;-)

Strings Dream - RGB line

Another plugin from the Nusofting product line, named the Strings Dream Synthesizer. It is an emulation and tribute to the string machines of yesteryear. The three default gui's are all warm and vintage looking and reflecting this synths wherabouts, I thought that I'd change that. ;-)

So, I've made one new 'modern' looking skin with three colorschemes Red, Gree, Blue, hence the RGB in the title.

This skin modifies the actual screensize and layout of the plugin, because of this it won't work when the plugin is in demo mode. I'm really sorry for this but there's nothing I can do about that I'm afraid.
Because of the screensize change the the plugin needs to be restarted for this skin to be displayed right, closing and opening the gui won't work.

Download: Limeflavour's Strings Dream Synthesizer 1.00
NOTE! THESE SKINS DOES NOT WORK IN DEMO MODE!

Modelonia from Nusofting

"Modelonia is a novel physical-modelling synthesizer which uses a hybrid of two distinct model 'types', a plucked-string model and a blown-bore (ie trumpet-type) model."

I have created a new skin for Modelonia, based on the layout
of the original skin to avoid confusion for existing users.
You can say that I've taken the original skin and (in my eyes) refined it and also made it slightly larger.

Download the skin here: Limeflavours Modelonia 1.00

Warbeats!

Warbeats has released a Loudness maximizer plugin for free, it's a reskinned 'LoudMax' and is programmed by Thomas Mundt.

You can read more about it at: here
but you must be a member to download this plugin.

Fire & Ice synthesizer

Fire and Ice by Ametrine Audio was released at the end of 2009, it's a commercial synthesizer based on the Wusikstation v.5.8.4 engine.
The synth has 160 presets with 250 variations and is suited for 'Ambient, Electronic, Soundtrack, Hardcore and Acid House' genres.

I made two skins for this project, one cream colored (easy on the eyes) and one with the fire&ice concept, the latter one is pretty rough on the eyes.

Maximizing Loudness - LoudMax 1.07

The new 1.07 version of LoudMax (loudness maximizer) by Thomas Mundt has gotten a new gui designed by me and Sinkmusic.
Sinkmusic came up with the colorscheme and some ideas of how it could look, my part was creating the graphic objects. The result turned out pretty well, and all three of us are happy with the outcome.

There's also a thread at the KVR Forum here, please drop a comment or two if you like this plugin.

LoudMax is freeware and can be downloaded here. but please visit the KVR forum link above as the plugin can be downloaded there also.
