Glitch VST - the Glitch 2

In this video, we will take a look at an amazing Glitch VST - the Glitch 2 by Illformed. 

The Glitch 2 VST is well known and loved glitch effect plugin in the industry that has been used for quite a while now. 

The strong suit of the Glitch 2 is how it works as an effect, unlike most effect VSTs, Glitch 2 works somewhat like a sequencer, allowing you to put a sequence of different effects in a pattern, which you can adjust, by selecting the number of bars and divisions. 

The sequencer includes quite a bit of versatility when it comes to the effects. The list includes: a randomizer, modulator, tape stop, retrigger, reverser, stretcher, lofi, distortion, gater, delay and a shuffler. 

What's more, is that you can really dial these individually to create the exact effect you want. For example, if you choose the gater effect, you can adjust what kind of a gater it is - free, even, triplet or dotted. And while some cheap glitch plugins would stop there, it's where Illformed glitch 2 is just getting started.

TAL-DAC Review[Extended Version + Demo]

Thanks for watching our TAL DAC plugin review. Vintage keyboard workstations are highly collectible among musicians and engineers. This means they are rather expensive to pick up used. This is where a quality emulation plugin can come in handy so you can get that same vintage feel without vintage prices. In this plugin review video, we talk about how vintage keyboard workstations store and recall their sounds. We explore how TAL Software has emulated those chip sets to be used in the modern day. We also go over the features that come with the plugin to understand what TAL DAC is doing to the sound. All of this combined makes the TAL DAC an excellent piece of software for those looking to add some lo-fi flair to their tracks. TAL DAC was part of a bigger plugin ecosystem called TAL Sampler (which we have a seperate video review for). TAL then pulled DAC out of Sampler and turned it into its own stand alone plugin. Sampler is an emulation of classic keyboard workstations that were popular in the 1980’s and 1990’s. These workstations had wave tables or sets of samples that were taken from other digital and analogue instruments and stored digitally. To play back the sound, the work stations sent the digital information through a DAC, or a Digital to Analogue Conversion chip. Now, one of the most interesting things about these keyboards was that digital audio was not all that advanced yet. Because of this, the workstations didn’t perform optimally 100% of the time, causing each of these DAC chip sets to have some very unique sound characteristics.

Thanks for watching our TAL Filter 2 review. Filter VST’s are a popular plugin for many musicians, engineers, and producers. Being able to carve out sections of high and low frequencies in a mix really helps get rid of “muddy” sounds in the track. An envelope filter VST can also be used creatively to add unexpected flair to your song or mix. The TAL Filter 2 is a fantastic FREE plugin that allows you to do both of these things with ease. The robust feature set of TAL Filter 2 is straightforward and easy to use while still providing a wide array of flexibility and customization. The feature of this free filter VST include: - Create host / beat synced modulations. - Easy to use graphical editor (double click deletes points, a click adds one). - 4x oversampled TAL-NoiseMaker filters. - Different filter types: LP 24 dB, LP 18dB, LP 12dB, LP 6dB, HP 12 dB, BP 12dB, N 12 dB. - It's possible to saturate / distort the input signal by raising the input volume (only for filters). - Panorama modulation. - Volume modulation. - Different modulation tempo (x1, x2, .. x32). - Depth control as a simple way to control the modulation intensity. - Free as always. TAL Filter 2 allows custom drawn envelopes with full control and customization. It really allows you to create your own unique sound. This is an exclusive feature not often found on other envelope filter plugins.

TAL-Sampler Review with Tutorial

Great, we can start with TAL-Sampler  

First of all, what is a synthesizer?
 
When you pluck a guitar string, it vibrates, and those oscillations travel through the air to the eardrum. Synthesizers mimic this process through its electrical components. Voltage-controlled oscillators produce a waveform which is then manipulated by the synth's controls like the LFO or Envelope Generator to change pitch, tone and timbre. The sound is amplified and sent through a speaker.
