Soundware has made its Octane rompler plugin available for free for Mac and Windows.
Soundware describes Octane as “the pro-grade rompler that changed the game by making professional tools accessible to anyone.”
The developer explains that the plugin was designed by producers for producers and is “the top choice for sound creation. With lots of ready-to-use presets and effects, Octane helps you make great music fast!”
The plugin includes reverb, delay, filter, distortion, trance gate, two arpeggiators, stereo image and more.
To download Octane, you’ll need to provide a name and email address. Note that being added to the Soundware mailing list is ticked by default, although you can untick the box.
The base Octane release was previously $20 and is now free.
The second tier, Octane Complete, is now priced at $20 and the top tier, Soundware Complete, is $59.
The free version of Octane includes the plugin, 350 factory instruments, and an expansion pack library.
The second tier features all of the above and “+2000 Pro Instruments.”
The top tier includes all of the above plus all Soundware plugins as well. The other included Soundware plugins are the Sylo sampler, Vybe multi-effects tool and the Tize multi-instrument rompler.
If you want to see Octane in action, Soundware hosts four YouTube videos on the product page.
Two of these videos were uploaded by the developers themselves, while the other two feature demos and walkthroughs by users.
Together, the videos give quite an in-depth look into what the plugin is capable of.
As you can hear in the demos, even within a single pack, there can be quite a wide sonic palette available.
Once you combine the different packs then the effects and alterations you can make to the sounds, there is truly an enormous amount of sounds on tap with Octane.
The plugin integrates a store that has more than 2000 sounds. Soundware is regularly added to the collection of sound packs moving forward as well.
Octane features layers, which allow you to “make your sounds richer by stacking samples.” The developer suggests extending the Layers functionality by “reversing a sample or adding an arpeggiator to another – your choice!”
Soundware lists the following options for layers: ADSR, tuning, arpeggiator, reverse, ring modulation, and tremolo.
