Free Amazing Reverberation Simulator epicVerb Out

An amazing reverberation simulator named epicVerb (PC VST) has been released under freeware licence. It aims at tight small room and ambience effect simulation (well suited to modern drum and vocal productions) as well as for the large hall sounds. It is designed for maximum flexibility and usability and to take place as a true high quality stereo main reverb.

I love the sound of this plugin. It is not muddy at all with source signal with a wide spectrum and the output sounds natural and relaxed. The amount of typical reverb artifacts is surprisingly low! And did I make it clear yet: It's free!

At The Gates of Addi(c)tive Synthesis

I've been in need for a high quality additive VSTi synth, but I have skipped Image-Line's Morphine just because their demo songs on their web page sound so poor reminding me of cheap General MIDI sounds on many products. Now when Image-Line started an X-Mas Sales offering Morphine for 99€ I decided to try the demo... Bam! I was immediately in love! The sound quality is very good, the synth is light weight and the usability is rather good for an additive synth, which are usually quite hard to operate. After tweaking a while I was sold on it and I purchased the plugin. It's nice there is soon lot of free time to make music and play with my new toy.

I haven't tested Gross Beat (the plugin included with my purchase) yet, but I will write about it later. If you are interested to purchase Morphine or IL's excellent multi-band compressor Maximus, I recommend buying it from here.
