Togu Audio Line releases TAL-BassLine instrument plugin as a free download for Mac OS X and Windows systems. TAL-Bassline freeware vst synth is a virtual analog bass synthesizer especially made for bass, acid sounds and effects, and it has a very similar appareance and structure of the legendary 80′s analog monophonic synthesizer Roland SH-101 (the filter doesn’t sound exactly the same as a real SH-101, but it’s equally very nice being a -18dB low pass filter with a lot of asymmetric and random components that introduce a warm and analogue sound.)

This synth plug-in needs a VST2.3 or VST2.4 compatible host, such as Cubase or Ableton Live.
Users of Pro Tools, Logic or Digital Performer (Mac environment) need adapters if they want use it. Some adapters that should be compatible:
- FX-Pansion VST to AU Adapter
- FX-Pansion VST to RTAS Adapter
- Audio Ease VST Wrapper (peculiar to Digital Performer)

Main features:
# Saw or pulse oscillators.
# Sub-oscillator: square -1 oct., square -2 oct., pulse -1 oct, pulse -2 oct.
# -18 dB/octave low-pass filter (resonant/self-oscillating).
# LFO (frequency: 0,1 .. 30 Hz, waveforms: sin, tri, saw, rec, noise).
# Very fast nonlinear envelope
# Simple Arpeggiator (up, down, one octave mode).
# 2x Unisono Mode.
# MIDI automation
# Precise fader control while holding down the “Shift” button.
# Supports all sample-rates.
# 2x oversampling.

Coming in VST, AU and RTAS plugin formats for Windows and Mac OS X, the ELS Vocoder from Eiosis faithfully reproduces that clear and organic vintage analog vocoder sounds which have been used by many artists in the electronic music history.
The new 1.6 version features two interfaces sizes : the normal one, and another one with a reduced height, to fit into laptop screen resolutions.
It also includes a wide range of rare and new features, which makes it unique, powerful and simple to use. A Sidechain plugin allows to route any track (i.e. an external input in addition to the internal oscillator) to the ELS Vocoder in a simple and efficient way. You can have up to 3 stereo inputs without the need for complex routing manipulations or multichannel busses.


Most notable features:
-Standard vocoder features : pitch tracker, voiced/unvoiced detector, two VCOs, two LFOs, noise generator, etc..
-Several aliasing free waveforms : saw, square, triangle, sine, mutlipulse with pulse width and FM modulation
-Formant matrix
-Frequency shifter, with modulation capabilities from the pitch tracker

Pricing is set to 220 euro. A demo and the user manual are available for download at Eiosis website, while some audio demos are posted here.
