All For Musicians

Synapse Audio has introduced EKS-9, unique VST/AU plugin dedicated to creating vintage-style electronic bass drum sounds – and has served up a sexy 3d ad for a virtual instrument to boot.

Description:

Its virtual analog engine is not only capable of authentic recreations of the sounds from such machines, but can synthesize new kick sounds with lots of punch, too.

The EKS-9 is available for Windows and Mac OS X. A free demo version is also available. It is fully functional, except that patches cannot be recalled and white noise is introduced every minute.

System requirements:

Windows: Windows XP, Windows Vista, Windows 7
Mac OS X: OS X 10.4 (Tiger), 10.5 (Leopard), 10.6 (Snow Leopard)
A host software which supports VST or AudioUnits
