Bedroom Producers Blog is pleased to announce that our readers can get a free copy of Beat Magazine issue 216, plus the included software freebies, which are the Cherry Audio PS-20 synth ($29) and Overloud Gem Mod modulation plugin ($99).
The bundled software is available while stock lasts (approx. 1,500 free licenses for PS-20 and Gem Mod plugins are still available).
This exclusive freebie from BPB and Beat Magazine also includes an additional 14 GB of samples, sounds, instruments, and plug-ins. There is no stock limitation for the bundled samples.
Cherry Audio PS-20
Cherry Audio describes the PS-20 virtual instrument as “an ultra-realistic, polyphonic, hot-rodded tribute to Korg’s renowned MS-20.”
The developer described the appeal of the original hardware synth, saying, “With its aggressive but charismatic sound, Korg‘s MS-20 has written music history. Dance greats such as The Chemical Brothers, Mr. Oizo, Aphex Twin, The Prodigy, and Röyksopp swear by this mono synth.”
Cherry Audio’s $29 virtual model of the synth is a macOS and Windows release available for AU, VST, VST3, AAX, and standalone formats.
The Cherry Audio PS-20 has 16-voice polyphony with random voice panning available, “super accurate” modeling of classic MS-style highpass and lowpass filters, and a three-channel, eight-step sequencer with 1/2-step quantizer and tempo sync.
Cherry Audio has also included 320 presets, a single-key chord memory mode as well as an expanded and simplified full-function patch panel.
Overloud Gem Mod
Overloud’s Gem Mod plugin simulates Roland’s classic Dimension D modulation unit, which originally dropped in 1978, as well as adding new features.
Gem Mod is also currently free on the Overloud website in limited numbers, but when their promotion ends, the plugin will be priced at $99.
Overloud states that Gem Mod offers “Hyper-realistic simulation of the original unit thanks to the 4th generation DSP technology.”
The plugin features all the modes from the original hardware unit, and the input stage saturation control offers “super musical harmonic generation.”
Furthermore, the LFO shapes can be customized, you can sync the modulation to BPM and the plugin runs on a light CPU footprint.
