Steinberg revives FREE Neon and Karlette plug-ins (incl. 64-bit versions)

After reviving Model E and VB-1 late last year, Steinberg has now revived its freebie Neon and Karlette plug-ins.

Here's what they say: "Throughout the long history of Steinberg, many products have come and gone, many have been superseded by new variants and others have been dropped completely. Once in a while, however, some of our developers like to dig up one of these long forgotten gems and polish it ready for current operating systems."

"As these revived products remain discontinued, their updates are not officially supported. Updates for discontinued products are sporadic as these are voluntarily provided by our engineers in their free time."

• Neon is a polyphonic synth featuring two oscillators, ADSR envelopes, an LFO and a resonant filter.
• Karlette is a vintage tape delay with four independent delay heads and tempo sync.

Both instruments are available in VST 2.4 plug-in format (32- and 64-bit, PC and Mac OS X) and can be downloaded free of charge from the Steinberg website.
