The PS-1 is a VST instrument plugin (VSTi) for Windows featuring four multi featured oscillators, custom WAV file import (with over 80 waveforms included!), a mixer, 2 resonant multimode filters (routable in both serial and parallel), two Low Frequency Oscillators (LFOs) and two ADSR envelope generators. The PS-1 also includes some advanced performance features, such as a powerful arpeggiator and trancegate, as well as an effects unit.

The inclusion of an effects unit in the PS-1 means that where effects have been used in the sound design process they can be conveniently saved within an instrument patch with each sound for easy recall. The effects unit features four high quality effects including an ultra fat double chorus, a superb digital delay with modulation, a distortion unit, and a reverb unit.

The PS-1 also includes over 1000 professionally designed factory presets covering a wide range of different sounds (basses, pads, leads, sound FX, arps etc.) and suitable for every genre.

What the press said...

"From guttural, raring basses to cutting leads, tinkling pads and everything in between, the PS-1 is a versatile and powerful beast."

"The PS-1 sounds great and is genuinely user friendly - a winning formula in our book. The amount of fexlibility on offer, combined with the explicit and intuitive working environment, make this synth a formidable new contender in the software instrument sphere."

"Sumptuous, evolving, dynamic, phat...you can pretty much deploy any superlative you like."

"Excellent sounds produced by a flexible, well designed and easy to use synth. Great value for money."

Oscillators:

4 high quality oscillators each with 12 different internal waveforms, and over 70 extra external waveforms (WAV files) by Back In Time Records.
All 4 oscillators have separate controls for volume, pitch (octave, semitone, fine) envelope amount, LFO amount, PWM amount, PWM mode (LFO, envelope, manual).
Separate mixer section with oscillator volume, mod amount, ring modulation (oscillators 2 and 4), boost and a noise generation unit.
All 4 oscillators can load custom waveforms (WAV files, 16 bits, 44.1khz, mono).
True mono-legato mode with glide.

Filters:

Two resonant multimode filter units with low pass (12db, 24db), high pass, band pass, and notch filter types and automatic gain reduction.
Both filter units operate in either parallel or serial modes (with mode selection and mix control).
Optional keyboard tracking of cutoff frequency for each filter unit.
Both filter units have separate controls for type, cutoff, resonance, envelope amount, LFO amount and keyboard tracking.
Smooth filter option.

Envelope Generators:

2 envelope generators each with attack, decay time, sustain level and release time (ADSR), as well as velocity control.
Envelope 1 is dedicated to oscillator volume.
Envelope 2 is used for filter cutoff, resonance, pitch and oscillator PWM.

System Requirements

PC running Windows 98 or higher (Vista Compatibility is a bit "hit-or-miss" at present).
800 MHz processor (1000 MHz or higher is recommended for optimum performance).
256MB RAM (512MB RAM or higher is recommended for optimum performance).
A VST 2.4 compatible host (such as Cubase SX3 or higher, Sonar 6/7, eXT, etc).

Audio Demos

The demo below was composed, mixed, and mastered by M.M. Dejong (a brilliant composer, as you'll hear in a moment). With the exception of some drums/percussion, all the sounds used are from the PS-1 factory library. Please note, however, that this track is not 'dry' like the ones below. Instead, we allowed Mr. Dejong to make a fully produced track to demonstrate how the PS-1 sounds in an actual production. We think you'll agree that the results are stunning.

NOTE: The current version of the PS-1 VSTi is v1.2. This version is VST 2.4, and therefore may act strangely in host enviroments supporting a lower VST standard.

This will be addressed in future versions, but PLEASE DOWNLOAD THE DEMO AND TEST THE SYNTHESIZER IN YOUR HOST AND OPERATING SYSTEM BEFORE PURCHASING! DUE TO THE NATURE OF ELECTRONIC PRODUCTS, WE CAN NOT OFFER REFUNDS. Again, make sure the PS-1 functions properly on your PC BEFORE you buy, by giving the PS-1 demo a full test run. Thank you.
