The Ambient Music Blog

If you’ve missed it, like me, please have a check because the KVR 2007 developer challenge results are in !

That makes a good 41 audio plugins / applications to download and test.

The winner is Xoxos for his “Sounds of Nature” a collection of VSTi for emulating common natural sounds (wind, rain, thunder, songbirds and insects), a very good one for your Ambient tracks.

I’ve just discovered DSK VSTi’s instruments recently, and there is a lot of good synths to download over there, some of them being more targeted to our preferred music: Ambient !

I specificaly recommend you:

• The Odisea (2 Osc, 5 waveforms, Octave select and micro-detuner, Amp. envelope, Filter, easy programming, Midi automation, Preset selector)
• The DreamZ (Experimental additive synths, LFO (osc controlled), 3 LFO assignables to cutoff, resonance, pan, sync…)

A few hours of playing and testing ahead !
