The Modernist Collection has 5 different tuned percussion instruments:
- Glockenspiel
- Kalimba
- Marimba
- Vibes
- Xylophone
Two First Channel Robot VST/AU products
Channel Robot released two – Shapiro and S One. They are “Wave-shaping” synths. They come as 15 min-time-out demos so you can try them out take a look here.
S One – a Full Waveshaping Synth Shapiro
S One reduces Shapiro’s 5 oscillators to 2 but still offers a different approach to sound-generation, using its oscillators in a matched pair and allowing you to cross-fade between them. Outputs from the oscillator-pair pass through a WaveShaper, which you can control with an envelope – and on into a dedicated filter section, with a wide range of filter types. The voice output is then passed through the effects section, then through Channel Robot’s “Drift” analog-tuning emulation engine and into a legato system derived from their work on orchestral ROMplers.
S One allows unprecedented control over where and when modulation can be applied, many controls have independent Note Velocity and Sample & Hold modulation sources that you can select. You can use Note Velocity to set the voice volume, set the mix of the oscillators, set the amount of drive into the Wave Shaper and set the Filter Frequency, you can apply Sample & Hold to voice volume, mix, shape amount and filter frequency. Some of these are pretty standard but some are unique and give S One a huge amount of playability and control. Many controls also have a dedicated step-modulator too.
Shapiro – a 5-Oscillator Waveshaping Synth
Shapiro features 5 oscillators configured into two matched pairs, that you can cross-fade between, and a Sub-oscillator. The oscillators in the matched-pairs have 9 different oscillator types, so you can get some unique and interesting sounds like no other synth. Outputs from each oscillator-pair pass through a dedicated Wave Shaper, with 7 different wave shapes, which you can control with an envelope – and on into a dedicated filter section, with 10 different filter types. Meanwhile, the sub-oscillator passes through its own drive effect and on into its own volume envelope. The combined output of all the voices is then passed through the effects section, then through Channel Robot’s “Drift” analog-tuning emulation engine and into a legato system derived from their work on orchestral ROMplers. Shapiro is a powerful and unique synth, but with a logical and simple layout that allows you to get up and going really quickly.

Atmosia 2 (Affiliate Link) is a 4 voice Atmospheric/Cinematic instrument ideal for film, TV, advertising and video game production as well as ambient and similar genres.
ATMOSIA 2 Key Features
- A|B voice control – flip between Voice A and Voice B to compare your changes, or load entirely different presets into each slot and morph between them to get new sound output.
- New Sound Browser – a category based sound selector that uses tagging to quickly narrow your search to the best sound sources for your needs.
- Improved our randomization system so there are now independent randomization options for Voices, Modelling, and Drones allowing you to tailor your sound design to your needs.
- Full control for each voice over envelopes, filters, vibrato, tremolo, pitch position, and bend range.
- Includes the innovative physical modeling engine from A1 but extends it further, with fully independent processing per voice
- All new per-voice Drone engine, allowing you to configure static drones or drones that move with midi input.
- Each voice has its own in-line effects, multi-mode filter, waveshaper, and delay as well as a per-voice implementation of our unique Field effect – a convolution effect with over 50 custom-designed IRs, and depth modulation and control.
- A set of instrument level effects too for Chorus, Phaser, Reverb, Delay, and Limiter.
- A per-voice arp system so you can run arps for each voice separately(or not at all) with independent DAW-synced tempo controls, step count, octave range, step velocity, and note length.
Atmosia 2 features over 580 sound sources from Atmosia 1, Electria 1, Mechia 1 and Firewalker as well as over 200 all new presets.

Channel Robot – Kick Factory 2
Channel Robot – Kick Factory 2
Channel Robot released factory – a plug-in dedicated to creating great kick sounds. At some point in every producer’s career they want at least one, if not more, unique selling points and (as world-famous producer Trevor Horne says) one of the best ways to stand out from the crowd is to use original sounds, and there’s no more visible and important place for that than in your drum tracks. The factory series, Kick Factory 2 in this case, is set up to easily, quickly, and efficiently get you one-off drum sounds that fit well with your track and stand out (just enough) so you don’t sound like anyone else.
Kick Factory 2 is a sample based instrument – it uses three layers – in each layer you can select any of the 738 meticulously sampled different kick drums (way more than any other Kick Drum module we know of), so the combinations of sounds is huge (it’s actually over 400 Million but who’s counting?). We’ve sampled a wide range of analog drum kits, iconic drum machines as well as some more obscure drum machines too. Each layer then has a number of modules to alter the sound; a multi-mode filter, an FM processor, a wave-shaper, reverb, delay and a compressor. Finally in the sound shaping area there are a set of modulators, for velocity, pitch and filter frequency. All this gives you complete flexibility in getting the sound you are looking for.
There’s an intelligent randomisation system for the whole instrument – and another for each voice. So getting to new, interesting and useful sounds is enjoyable and really quick.
Every kick drum sound you use in Kick Factory 2 comes in three different snapshots – a powerful facility that gives you three different kick sounds available at the same time. Snapshots are like parameter locks on steroids, you can have two snapshots that vary by just one effect parameter, say filter frequency, or that vary every single parameter – so snapshots can go from subtly different sounds to wildly different sounds – your choice. There’s a “Snapshot Auto-generator” button to make things even easier.
Finally there’s a master volume control and our Infinite Round Robin Engine (IRRE) which modifies the sound on every incoming note, your not stuck with 5, 10 or even 20 round robins – this system produces millions of subtly different sounds – slightly changed for every note played. How different each hit sounds is up to you.
So stand out from the crowd. Get rid of the frustration searching for drum sounds then layering and tweaking to get anywhere near what you are after – in your hands Kick Factory 2 will produce the kick sounds you need and that are like no others.
