VL1 free download, VL1 download on software download

The VL1 plugin was developed to be a freeware emulator of the world famous classic calculator annex mini-synthesizer from the eigthies made by Casio. VL1 is not just a sample player, it is a real emulator that emulates the original hardware. All sounds are generated by software equivalents of the original circuits and the calculator actually works. This also means that ADSR sound programming is fully functional! VL1 was written in honour of Casio's little VL-TONE that has given me many hours of pleasure and fun. Main features: The goal when programming VL-1 was to get as close to the real thing as possible. During development I stumbled upon a number of subtleties that I had never noticed before and I have tried to emulate these as well. Some things however are different: automatic powerdown after some six minutes of inactivity has been left out; the DC-clicks when changing between modes have not been implemented; rhythm and melody have seperate outputs; finally MIDI (melody on channel 1, rhythm on channel 2); access to the individual rhythm sounds (C3, D3 & E3 on MIDI channel 2); automation of parameters; Some things have not yet been done: tune (on the back of the VL-TONE); synchronisation of rhythm and recorded melody with host; seperate simulated speaker and line outputs; more memory for ADSR presets; more rhythm sounds; Some things have to be done better: automation; other host-plugin related things; rhythm noise sound Finally some things that will probably never be implemented (by me): hand-over-speaker simulation, use a filter plugin instead; low-battery distortion, use a distortion plugin instead; AU, LADSPA or other plugin formats. Maybe someday I will post the sources (when I have sorted out all problems and cleaned up the code.)
