Magical 8bit plug
(11 votes, average: 4.64 out of 5)
Magical 8bit Plug is a plug-in style software-synthesizer for producing primitive electronic sounds like the old 8bit game consoles. In Macintosh environment, it runs with AU (Audio Units)-supporting applications: ex. Logic, Digital Performer, Garageband. In Windows environment it runs with VSTi supporting applications: ex. Cubase. Most of the software/hardware synthesizers include the most primitive waveform: square wave and pulse wave. But almost none of them include the pseudo-triangle or the low-resolution noise that will most characterize the 8bit sound’s unique taste. Magical 8bit Plug will help you producing the old 8bit sounds by providing those unique waveforms.
Includes 5 waveforms (square, pulse (2 kinds), pseudo-triangle, low-resolution noise)
ADSR envelope assignment for volume
Supports pitch bending, bend range variable
Frequency sweep function
