basic 64 is back for free download

basic 64 – click for more info

I thought I’d put back an old favourite for download since I had a few requests for it.

 *** please note, this is an old synthedit plugin – it’s not 64 bit anything and it’s windows only ***

As you may know, I stopped developing plugins a while ago, and then after a catastrophic web/database corruption I stopped selling plugins altogether, but leaving the freeware downloadable. Since my hosting contract finished, I moved everything over to a wordpress site, so the freeware is still all here, and whilst I was at it, I added basic 64 back, which wasn’t available following the release of basic 65.

I still won’t be developing any new plugins and I don’t plan on selling any of the payware plugins, just thought I’d upload and oldie that had gone missing. I have a couple more oldies in the archives that I will upload at some point soon too.

psymon

psymon continues from styrofoam the series of single-waveform, retro, lofi noise makers. Whilst faithfully recreating the ‘speaker in a box’ sound of the original game, psymon takes a bold leap into the 21st century. You are no longer limited to the 4 notes of the game, but can use every single note on your midi keyboard! wow! With a simple press of the keyboard icon you can bring modern technology to bear and have each note sustain whilst your midi key is pressed! cool! Not only that, but the notes become velocity sensitive too! OMFG! The very best of retro sound and cutting-edge technology, psymon says “download me”

features

• one waveform, it’s a beauty
• 1 whole preset
• optional note sustain and velocity
• no flashing lights or memory tests
• batteries not included

miniSID
