Free Plugin of the Week – VK-1 Viking Synthesizer

For this week’s plugin, we have the VK-1 Viking synthesizer from the developers at blamsoft. They claim that it is an authentic emulation of a classic monophonic analog synth and through the use of the plugin we feel the same. The VST features three continuously variable wave oscillators, two ladder filters with a low pass and high pass, a multi-wave LFO and two modulation busses.

The synth is perfect for creating thick bass sounds and rich leads with that old school feel which many analog enthusiasts crave.

Here a few features which make the VK-1 stand out from the other hardware emulators on the internet:
– VK-1’s oscillators have been measured from hardware
– VK-1’s oscillators have drift and jitter
– VK-1’s oscillators use advanced techniques to avoid aliasing
– VK-1’s filters are nonlinear ZDF with carefully tuned self-oscillation
– VK-1’s envelopes have been matched to hardware
