Native Instruments KOMPLETE 7 is out now and it’s a massive 90GB. There’s a smaller more affordable bundle called KOMPLETE 7 Elements with 12GB of content, and for FREE you can get the 1GB KOMPLETE 7 Players.
KOMPLETE 7 PLAYERS brings you four powerful audio platforms from Native Instruments for free, ready to use in your studio or on stage: REAKTOR 5 PLAYER, GUITAR RIG 4 PLAYER, KONTAKT 4 PLAYER and KORE 2 PLAYER. The included libraries provide over 450 high-quality sounds and effects ranging from futuristic synthesizers to edgy drum rhythms, stage-ready keys, versatile amp emulations, effects and much more. All Players are bundled into one installation file, making the setup as comfortable as possible.
Enjoy the sheer quality of Native Instruments products with 1 GB of sounds for free, and expand the included sounds at any time by selecting from a huge and constantly growing range of KOMPLETE Instruments and Effects, available directly in the NI Online Shop.
This is Mac and PC compatible in Standalone, VST, AU and RTAS formats. These are somewhat limited but you may get plenty of use from them. A really nice taste of what KOMPLETE contains.
I downloaded this on the weekend and played with them a little. I can see myself using some of the REAKTOR 5 PLAYERS for pads and loops. GUITAR RIG 4 PLAYER won’t get much use as a guitar amp, but should prove useful as an effects unit. KORE 2 PLAYER AND KONTAKT 4 PLAYER have been around for a while and see some use from time to time in my studio.

This just appeared in my inbox, as a new Nocturn 49 owner I was pretty excited about this.
Novation are offering all Nocturn 25 and Nocturn 49 users a free software bundle, comprising the powerful V-station and Bass station software synths, Automap Pro and the Novation FX Suite.
To get the free software, simply register your Nocturn Keyboard online, and Novation will send you license codes and download links to the free software.
The offer is open to all Nocturn 25 and 49 owners, whether you already have one, or are buying one new.
See this page:

Since I’d already registered my Nocturn all I needed to do was log in to my account and click the update button which immediately sent 4 authorization codes to my email.
This is AWESOME!!

Those nasty bastardos at Ohm Force have decided to release Symptohm PE (Performer Edition) for free. This is very good news for home studio dudes, because Ohm Force makes some of the best virtual synths and effects out there today. Ohm Force doesn’t just think outside the box, they fill it with stinky cheese, piss on it and set it on fire! It’s software with attitude, bent on audio domination!
Here’s what they have to say about Symptohm PE
This ‘Performer Edition’ is a simplified version of our Symptohm:Melohman powersynth, especially made for live use – but being also handy at the studio. The core of the synth, its oscillators and all the filters are there: it’s the same audio engine of the ‘normal’ version. The only difference is that they’re all already programmed/fixed for each one of the (up to 1200!) patches from Symptohm’s sound library, the result being a simple and straight forward interface.
So you won’t worry about tweaking knobs in the plug-in interface, being able instead to focus in live preset morphing using your midi keyboard controller and the Melohman feature. The midi mapping for each plug-in parameter is still there too, so map them all and please your crowd with bewildering sounds. Last, but not least, try setting your own samples instead of the default ones, and get an intuitive and fun experience! What are you waiting for? Download it right now and you’ll be playing what maybe is one of the best freeware synths out there…
Symptohm PE is for Mac & PC; VST, AU, RTAS

So TRY OUT Symptohm PE this week and let me know what you think. Is it nasty enough?

Every Monday I highlight free plugins new and old that are worth checking out. See all posts in the Free Plugin Of The Week Series.
U-NO-60 is a virtual synth that is just a blast to play. It closely resembles the look (compacted a little) and sound a Roland Juno-60, its very intuitive and easy to get great retro sounds. The built in chorus effects sound great, TAL even has a separate plugin of just the chorus.

You probably won’t be using this synth if you want to create new sounds, but it is fantastic for recreating synths tones from the 80s. I just love playing this synth.
