réactions au dossier Les meilleurs freewares pour faire de la musique

Personnellement ce n'est pas dur... je les ai tous pris. Parce que le jour où ils auront vraiment définitivement disparu même de ce seul et dernier point de vente qu'est ShareIt, je ne voudrais pas m'en mordre les doigts par regret. Ils sont tous compatibles 64-bit et probablement tous compatibles Mac, et c'est la dernière chance de les trouver.

On arrive quand même a plus de 360 euros, ce qui est loin du budget freeware

Octopus is a "Dual-Matrix" synthesizer containing one Matrix for Oscillator/Filter frequency modulation synthesis and another Matrix for general modulation.

Octopus features 8 additive Oscillators, a Sampler and a powerful approach to modulation - 32 complex multi-purpose envelopes with a wide range of modulation destinations. The key component for building a sound is the instrument's 8 oscillators, Sampler, 2 filters and 32 envelopes. These components allow you to create anything from classic "old school" FM timbres to complex sounds far beyond those possible with conventional FM synthesis. All controls are located on a single panel which is always on view, so you can see at a glance any synth parameter.

Features:

• Hybrid Frequency Modulation and Sampling synthesis.[*]10 modulation sources and 8 modulation destinations.[*]550 presets in a wide range of styles made by Nico Herz, Pro-Sounds, Summa, Tim Conrardy and The Outsiderz.[*]Full cross-modulation, adjustable feedback for every oscillator.[*]8 additive oscillators using sample-based or user defined waveforms.[*]Two independent multimode filters, are available as FM sources.[*]Up to 32 envelopes with multiple, syncable segments, free-run, loop and adjustable slopes.[*]Graphical envelope editor with sophisticated editing functions.[*]Envelopes can be used to modulate a wide range of parameters including amplitude, mix, panning, pitch, frequency, phase, cutoff and resonance of filters.[*]Stereo effects section with 4 effects (Parametric EQ, Chorus, Delay and Reverb).[*]Two step sequencers each with up to 32 steps each.

Organ 3 is a software organ emulation with all controls found on the original Hammond B3 as well as a sophisticated rotary speaker simulation.

Key features:

• Authentic emulation of many classic organs and the rotary speaker, get the sound of the original.[*]Each emulated aspect is individually switchable or adjustable.[*]3 manuals, individually adjustable and playable on separate MIDI channels or in split or layer mode.[*]Dual effects section with fully syncable rotary, reverb, delay and chorus, and new: Gator and LoFi crusher.[*]64 voice polyphonic (CPU dependent).[*]Individually adjustable Percussion for upper and lower manual.[*]Adjustable Keyclick and Motor noise from off to authentic or even up to overemphasized.[*]Controller hardware (faderbox or synth) can be used to control the LinPlug Organ 3 parameters using the LinPlug ECS.[*]Switchable Portamento / Glide.[*]Adjustable age from factory new to trashy.[*]Spread (Unison) for each manual.[*]ADSR envelope for each manual.[*]Microtuning support (TUN files) for different scales.[*]Including 11 alternative tonewheels.[*]Fully recognized velocity, adjustable pitch bend.[*]Rotary simulation with full sync to song tempo (even tempo changes can be synced).[*]Sample accurate timing.[*]Full parameter automation.[*]Settings are saved with your song.

Gaffe avec les plugin Sonivox actuellement bradés. Sonivox a été un grand nom du plugin, mais j'ai l'impression qu'ils sont un peu dépassés. Surtout, le service est inexistant. J'ai acheté leur Vocoder Pro et il me flingue mes hôtes: dès que je le lance, l'interface de l'hôte comme du plugin deviennent riquiqui et il est impossible de continuer à bosser.

Je leur ai envoyé plusieurs mails pour ça et j'ai eu... absolument aucune réponse. Pas sérieux alors même que des auteurs de freeware répondent à ce genre de soucis, même s'ils ne les règlent pas immédiatement. Là, c'est franchement pas sérieux pour des plugins commerciaux, même bradés.
