Dear everyone!
My album Sizzling Plucks as Need a Name is finally out yesterday, I made it with my own 4 VSTs made in SM (I'm sharing these for free from now), nearby my Virus TI2 and my Roland GAIA.
You can listen to the album (and buy it, if you like it.. it's just 5€ 😊) on http://needaname.bandcamp.com/ and download my 4 VSTs on my official website, "tools" page: http://www.thecolorspace.net/.
Honestly i made these only for me in the middle of 2010, but now I decided to share with the world.
I know there are some bugs maybe, and I know the GUI isnt' really intuitive, but it's just because I never tought about sharing these, I just decided it now.
Specs:
SERIO3
This is the first I created, its name's "Serio3", 3 because I tried 2 times learning things before finishing the right version. It's a simple 3 oscs subtractive synthesizer with 3 sub oscs, an ADSR for each osc, ring modulation, 2 filters, 2 lfos, a stereo enhancer, delay, reverb and
chorus effects.
FEELING
"Feeling" is a 3 oscs additive synthesizer with a bitcrusher and a saturator for each oscillator, 2 filters, 2 lfos, a stereo enhancer, a stereo chorus (you can mod left and right parts) and a delay effect.
DRAFTER
"Drafter" is a 3 drawable oscs synthesizer, you can draw your waveform with your mouse. It has 2 filters, 4 lfos, a bit reducer, a stereo enhancer, delay and reverb effects.
CLOUD
"Cloud" is a 3 morphing oscs synthesizer, it has a bitcrusher for each osc, a filter, 4 lfos and the automorph section where you have 4 lfos to morph automatically the waveforms (with animations!), a stereo enhancer, delay and reverb effects.
I really hope you enjoy them, and I want to say THANKS to this community, for the help, for the examples and for everything because you made one of my dreams true: creating my own synths.
Special thanks to DigitalWhiteByte who helped me learning lot of things with Synthmaker.
Graphics are by me, made with Photoshop, I really love minimal and small things.
Thank you all, 🙂
Dario.

Hey , loving the tracks! Which preset did you use from your synth on the lovely chord pluck thing in "On the Horizon of Faith"?

@tor: thanks, that's what I searched for 😀
@aliasant: thanks mate, from heart, I need people like you to have visibility and personal satisfactions.
I know, really, buying digital music today it's like a "love act" 😊 if you do that I'm really HAPPY.
@adamszabo: thats' the only track where I used just my Virus TI2 ^^, by the way I never use presets (mostly for my own synths 🙂 )

Love the tunes needaname! 😀
That kind of music is right up my street m8 and is somewhat similar to what i do myself nowadays!
Here's some of my older stuff http://www.soundclick.com/bands/default ... dID=990344
I've not done anything new lately but i have some new ideas i am about to work on soon 😀
Best regards
Jay

Ah, haha, I thought it sounded like a virus ti, but I wasnt sure since you said you only used your synths. Is there a chance to post that patch alone from the virus? Or you tweaked it from an exising one?

I said I used my own vsts nearby my Virus Ti and Roland Gaia 🙂
No that's not a tweak, it's from Init. What you mean with post the patch?

Thank you mate!
Listened to your stuff, I think you need to restart making music, these are nice!

Really refreshing to hear those glitchy elements in tunes which also manage to be so laid back - most ambient style stuff I come across these days just makes me forget it's even playing after a few bars (I'm a bit of a BPM freak so maybe I just missed the point!). Your tunes are really mellow but still have that 'I wonder what's going to happen next' interest that my brain craves from music - keep up the good work.

Thanks mate, really! I'm happy you all like my music..
It's an encouragement for me 😀

Hey guys,
just want to let you know the album now costs just €1 (or there's the option to decide how much to pay).. 🙂

Hi all!
V1.1 of my suite is out!
First of all, now it has a name: Colorful Series
Here's the list of fixes:
General Bugfixes:
- Fixed knobs behaviour, now movement is faster
- CPU's spikes are drastically reduced
Various fixes:
- Redesigned presets
- Deleted unnecessary coding
- Increased general volume
Feeling:
- Removed the bit reducer for a better overall sound
- Added a second delay effect
- Added a on/off switch for the Double Chorus effect
- Fixed a Double Chorus bug that kept the effect running even if knobs were set to 0
- Stereo Enhancer replaced by a Distortion effect
I added a Quick Start Guide for each instrument, it's an image shortly explaining all the functions and a funny audio demo on YouTube here http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eU8SKd_soi8
Now you can download each instrument separately if you want, VSTs are available on my restyled website (yes, a new version for this too!! =D) in the Software section here http://www.thecolorspace.net/software.html
Thanks for everything.
Cheers,
Dario.

What about the album?
I have a serious complaint about it and its nothing I can EQ away.
It's to damn short!
🙂

Nice work Dario. 🙂
Top marks for the quick start guides and video - so few dev's seem to remember that they know their synths very very well because they made them. But for a new user there's nothing worse than looking at the GUI of a new download and thinking WTF?
A couple of screenshots, and a quick description of what new features with 'funky' names really do, makes such a difference when you want to get down and program some custom patches!
