VST plugins by Antti @ Smartelectronix

My interests lie in modeling analog electronics and especially the nonlinearities inherent in them. The focus is on sound quality, so don't complain if they use more cpu than your typical VST plugins. All of them use oversampling to avoid aliasing.

Taurus beta 4 (with GUI).

ASynth

ASynth is a six voice virtual analog synthesizer featuring two oscillators and three circuit modelled filters.
The demo version displays a nagscreen on startup. To remove the nagscreen and enable SSE optimizations, donate.
GUI designed by George Reales.
Sound examples:

A Bach classic (with apologies to Wendy Carlos fans).
Some disco music (courtesy of Arguru).
Filter tweaking (by a generous donator).
Vintage demo (courtesy of George Yohng)
Also some old examples

Taurus (beta 4)

Virtual recreation of famous bass pedals from 70's. Prepare for earth shattering bass!
Things modelled in beta 4:

Alias free oscillators
Finite oscillator reset time
Nonlinear Moog ladder filter
Nonlinear VCA
Nonlinear envelopes (that means solving five non-linear differential equations, realtime!)
And of course all the rest of control circuitry at component level

Phase90

Phase90 is recreation of classic guitar pedal MXR Phase90. This is a proof-of-concept project to see how modeling the distortion of FET-based phasers affects sound, so don't expect gazillion fancy parameters. I may add stereo support at some time. Maybe.

Saro

Saro is a tube distortion effect with cabinet modeling. It's based on AX-84 High Octane guitar amp. Only the preamp part is modeled. There is also no EQ (yet). Don't expect Fender-style creamy warmth - Saro goes for full-on crunch (or insanity with high drive settings).
