Intermod is a new audio plugin from Phantom Sounds, the developer behind Orbit (spatial reverb) and 56K (digital decay). We covered Orbit earlier this year, and if you missed it the first time around, it’s worth checking out. Intermod offers something a little different; it’s a self-intermodulation effect that multiplies the strongest components in your signal against each other. In doing so, it creates phantom frequencies derived from the original audio. Because these phantom frequencies are derived from the original audio, each input produces a unique character profile. Intermod offers four source modes: Radio, Tape, Wire, and Digital. You then…

Elementary Sounds has released TSUD, a free sample-based kalimba instrument for macOS and Windows. This is Elementary Sounds’ first free release and their first new product after roughly a year of silence. I was a bit surprised I hadn’t heard of them before, since their paid stuff looks pretty cool. They have a handful of paid instruments on their website, including a vibraphone, an old acoustic piano, and a Fender Rhodes. What I love about developers like Elementary Sounds is that they don’t sample the obvious stuff that’s been done a billion times. It’s awesome that they go for instruments…
