Homegrown Sounds releases Mesh VSTi for Windows and "Vintage Synths" for Sampletank

Homegrown Sounds has released Mesh, a new VSTi for Windows, and Vintage Synths, a new soundbank for IK Multimedia's Sampletank.

The idea behind Mesh was to create a Virtual Analogue mono synth in the style of the Minimoog with the addition of five tempo-based LFOs for exploring rhythmic potential. In comparison to previous Homegrown Synths, Mesh is very simple using three Oscillators and a Sub Oscillator to shape the sound, a single oversampled Low Pass Moog style filter, and three Envelopes. The LFOs can modulate most parameters, and there are several quantized pitch destinations to enable complex one finger sequences to be constructed. Add to this a compact effects section comprising of a Modulator, a Delay and SoundScaper and Finally an Arpeggiator which all adds up to a simple lightweight sonic playground.

Vintage Synths is a collection of analog instruments released exclusively for Sampletank offering Basses, Leads and Pads. The instruments were created with the often overlooked Akai SG01 Vintage Sound Module, and multi-sampled at 24-bit 48kHz for excellent sound quality.

Altogether there are 98 Parent Instruments which were then used to create a further 350+ child presets creating a huge collection of new analog based sounds for Sampletank.

• Each Instrument is multi-sampled using nine samples to capture the full range of the instrument.
• Sampled at 24-bit 48kHz.
• 98 Parent Instruments.
• 350+ Child Presets.
• Size: 790 MB.
• Download Size (RAR): 430 MB.
