I tried downloading the Chorg PS 3500 but was warned first by Google and when I ignored that Windows Defender blocked it because it detected a Trojan virus ...

Got on his site via https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NyJSLdKFrCU

I have been downloading his synths, and never got any problem. I usually download everything, and then make the selection at home.

Anyway, if you are particularly interested in an emulation of the Korg PS-3300, you have a better one (IMO) made by Full Bucket: https://www.fullbucket.de/music/fb3300.html

To all -

Probably best to only download the synths from the link on my website, not links found on miscellaneous web pages. I just tested download of Chorg PS-3500; no warnings or problems. And yes, the Full Bucket is a much better instrument.

See link below.

Hello from France Kevin!

A big thank you for your work that allows me to discover machines that I will never be able to afford. I particularly love the SH-3p

Last night, I tried the Cronus: the Fade Time function of the LFO doesn't seem to work: it produces no effect. I tried with VSTHost, SAVIHost and MULab. Yet it works very well with the Rolend noSoupRsaw. Could you check, please?

I also do not understand the usefulness of the function Out of the oscillator 3, which seems to do the same thing as the Tone 3 switch: is there something that I don't understand?

Thank you for your help and congratulations for this wonderful collection of plugins!

Sorry it took so long to reply, I haven't been checking in on the forums much these days - especially this thread which seemed to go cold long ago.
As I suspected, the Cronus LFO Fades were just inadvertently left disconnected internally. Was actually a good thing as I also realized that I'd incorrectly implemented them as LFO Delays, rather than fade-ins The same was true of noSoupRsaw; I've corrected that as well.
As to the 'Out' switch on Cronus' Osc3, it is simply redundant with the Tone button - you're not missing anything. ;- )

To all - it's best to bring any malfunctions to my attention via my website's e-mail button; all my attention is on painting these days, so as I said I don't check in on the forums very much.

By the by, I took a look at SH-3p and noticed at some point I'd uploaded the wrong version, so before replacing with the latest one, I made a few updates; none to the basic functions and sound - just added the Poly/Mono/Legato voices control, changed the Wave selectors from 'step through list' to drop-downs, upgraded the Mod Wheel VCF and VCO switches to MIDI CC selectors and put in an info button to explain the functions that deviate from the hardware. Also added a handful of simple/dopey presets.

And here's a new one - I had the unmitigated cheek to do a super dumbed-down cheesy Synthmaker rough approximation of the core synth functions of the Moog One (did I put enough qualifiers in there?). Functionally it's sort of to the One as the Voyager OS was to the Voyager - mostly WYSIWYG panel controls with very little hidden menus, buried functions, etc.; and like OS, no layers, splits, Arp, Sequencer or effects.

Hi Kevin,

Thanks a lot for the fix and noSoupRsaw & SH-3p updates!

Congratulations also for your new simpleONE

I wish you a happy New Year!

KBplugs was not at NAMM 2019

The crazy developer was too busy giving birth to new synthetic hybrids inspired by old machines, rare or even recent: the simpleONE and Sub 88 (Moog One and Sub 37), Ele-mints (Macbeth Elements) and Juan, Oh Juan (Roland SH-101).

Kevin Brown also continues to perfect his creations. Of particular note are updates of copperHead (ARP), evol-Vox (DSI Evolver), gM-32 (Moog Mother-32 + Grandmother), minDy (Minimoog + SE2), Multipoly (Moog Multimoog), Rolend Block- 1 (Roland System 700) and System 101Max (Roland System 101), simpleShruth (Mutable Instruments Shruthi-1), tonus 2620 (ARP 2600) and Nineteen70 (ARP 2500), Yumaha CS-153 and 80-voxII (Yamaha CS-15 and CS-80) to name only the most recent ones.

Remember that all these 32-bit virtual synths are created with Synthmaker, run only on Windows and have no claim to compete with the originals. But also that they are free and are no less exciting to explore!

Glad to see he is still making new stuff. Big fan here!

'...not at NAMM' - I'm sure you meant that as a joke, but in case not, I'm not a commercial developer and I don't think one can show at NAMM unless you are. Enjoy the new stuff - Ele-mints is especially crazy. I had to do a lot guessing and assuming because detailed specs and info on the Macbeth Elements were nearly impossible to dig up. I don't think there were very many of them sold, but if anyone has experience of one and can offer some suggestions of things I've got wrong, please speak up!

To arouse curiosity, I had fun taking the opposite of news at the moment

What other emulations are you planning to do Kevin?

kevin brown · Post by **kevin brown** » Wed Feb 06, 2019 9:33 am

Trying to gather enough info on Macbeth's Nexus to maybe take a rough stab at it - what I've found so far is pretty sketchy and confusing; may not happen. If I do it I'll probably have to 'wing it' on everything but the basic -four osc assignable to a stereo State Variable Filter- structure.

Cool. Im not familiar with his synths bit from what i have seen/heard on youtube they seem interesting.

kevin brown · Post by **kevin brown** » Thu Feb 07, 2019 7:40 pm

VSTj - for some reason I'm not able to respond to your e-mail; it won't go through:"permanent error", whatever that means.
Here's Cronus with LFO 3 switchable to a Step LFO.

Great idea - thanks for the suggestion!

EDIT:
I figured Osc3's sLFO would be more useful if Osc3 had the option of being disconnected from the keyboard.

How refreshing to learn that this wonderful array of emulations is still being updated.
I've got SO used to dead ends and abandoned projects; sadly a few developers leaving the planet also ...
But here you are, the Man himself all active and planning new mischief.
More power to your elbow Sir.
I'm currently running just 3 of your synths. DS-600, PS-3500 and the MiniModular.
I was just fighting with the MiniModular (dated 03/01/17) last night.
It "looked" like it had Presets but only the first sounded at all. Looking forward to seeing how it's changed now.
Having grabbed the latest offerings, I'll update those 3 and have a look at adding some more.

Q. What do the osm files that now accompany the dll files do ?
